bottle rocket- bleeehhhhh. Moments of good hinting at whats to come but overall it doesn't fit together.

God that movie was tedious I couldn't sit through the whole thing.

Try reading the book

I hear the film's a bit shit.  I watched the old Jeremy Irons version a while ago and thought that was very good.

Well for what it is worth, one of the biggest criticisms I heard raised against the movie is that it departs significantly from the book rather than following it slavishly. So it might be good in that sense.

As I said I liked it, but then again it had like all my favourite themes, so I would have liked it even if it had no plot.

Buena Vista Social Club.  Quite a hoot.

See Standing in the Shadows of Motown if you have not.  It's in a similar vein;but about Motown's studio band, The Funk Brothers.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.  Great British new wave/Angry Young Man/kitchen sink film and Albert Finney vehicle from 1960.

Good flick, and last drummer from the The Funk Brothers just passed away last week.

I watched that Pacino movie "88 Minutes" a couple hours ago.  It's....uh....not so good.

That's the understatement of the year. That movie is sodding horrible.

Watched The Collector by Willie Wyler last night. Great film making. Stamp is uber creepy and Samantha Eggar lovely as ever. Awesome film I can't believe I hadn't seen til last night, especially since the book was a fave of mine back in Uni. Though I can't see myself going back and re-reading any Fowles.

Whats the buzz on Terminator 4?  I want to like it, amazing trailer, but the writers and director are questionable.

Loved every second of it, but this has completely different crew and cast besides Bale.  Why?

McG (*cringe*) made everyone read The Road and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, tow great books, but he still strikes me as kind of an idiot.

It has Bale, it's an action movie. It'll be the same but with Robots & no Joker.

Wow, I had no idea Terminator 4 was anywhere near release. Thought it was mired in pre-production.
Interesting...
It probally will sort of suck but its Terminator so coolness will make up for it somewhat.
