1408 anyone?

**gustavo** · 31/08/2007, 7:59 PM

saw Primer , enjoyed it but didnt have a clue what was going on for the last 20 minutes

and Apocalpyto was good entertainment with plenty of Hollywood cliches thrown in

Reign Over Me - great acting from Don Cheadle and the most underrated actor in Hollywood - Adam Sandler (up there with his performances in Punch-Drunk Love and Happy Gilmore)

Saw Hallam Foe tonight. Excellent film, highly reccomended.

Simpsons Movie is only ok. Not many belly laughs.

Looking forward to that alright, is it showing in the IFI? Suppose I could just look that up myself through the magic of the internet

I'd back that up too. Had totally forgotten about it, but, it really was very good.

"Road to Perditon" if nobody has mentioned it, loved it, great music score, and cinematography.

Also "Happiness" by Todd solondz, a black comedy about Peodophilia, truly deranged.

Yeah but you get a great sense of film buff superiority watching it in the IFI!

Anyone mention From Dusk 'Til Dawn yet?
Great hijack flick turns into bonkers vampire shoot out in a bar in Mexico.
Also contains the scene I would quite happily die acting out

**gustavo** · 14/09/2007, 9:26 AM

Saw Atonement last night , have to say I thorougly enjoyed it , might not be to everyones taste , but worth going to see for a fantastic tracking shot on the beach at Dunkirk alone

Saw "3:10 to Yuma" yesterday, class film. Cinematography was very good and the acting wasn't too bad either. Christian Bale is one of my favourite actors, did a good job as Batman (next Batman movie looks very good too!) and I loved Harsh Times. Also look up The Machinist, American Psycho, The Prestige and The Empire of the Sun.

Thought 1408 was very poor. Rushed at the end and if they're going to use a lot of CGI then at least make sure it's well done which I didn't think they did in this movie. It's just one of those Stephen King novels that are better left as a book.

Movies to keep a look out for:
American Gangster - Ridley Scott
The Heartbreak Kid - Farrelly brothers
No country for old men - Coen brothers
Sweenet Todd The Demon Barber from Fleet Street - Tim Burton

I could go on forever but I won't!

excellent film. Mental but in a good way.

The bit where George Clooney sucks wine off her toe. I'd die quite happy if I got to suck wine off any part of Salma Hayek!!

It's Tarantino who gets that particular pleasure.

The entire scene for the interested - tetsujin1979 is talking about the bit about 2 and a half minutes in.

Saw Fugitive Pieces at the Atlantic Film Festival on Saturday night. Excellent adaptation of Ann Michaels's novel. Very moving.

**Raheny Red** · 20/09/2007, 12:09 PM

Seen two films yesterday and both were easily the worst films I've ever seen. The Terminal on RT� last night and Disturbia in the pics yesterday afternoon and my god they made painful viewing.
