Still great!

Inglorious Basterds was pretty damn good, and definitely Tarantino's best since Pulp Fiction.

I also saw Royal Flash, which was disappointingly bad. Malcolm McDowell is not Flashman. It's also not the same without Flashy's soliloquies.

Ed Brubaker's Angel Of Death. Much better than it should be... all based on Zoe Bell's awesome kickassitude, and Bru's fun Noir-y, very comic booky script. totally cheesy and predictable, yet fun and satisfying if your expectations are appropriate.

Watched Rambo last night, pleasantly surprised.  Not as cheesy as I thought it would be, and a relatively dignified end to what had become a cheesy franchise.

Army of Darkness- I can easily see why it's a camp classic
The Reader- Garbon's review is unfair. It's the character that's stupid, not the movie.

The movie focuses on the two leads...both leads act stupid characters.

We'll see if they can avoid fucking up Rambo V.  I really enjoyed Rambo IV.

I don't think the guy is stupid but rather foolish.

Elephant.

it's interesting and artistic and even elegant but has nothing to say. basically, stuff doesn't happen (all praise lengthy, quiet, sometimes boring tracking shots) and then ... stuff happens. the end.

what you get out of it is up to you. I'm not sure if it's really a movie. certainly it's a film. it's like a book that is filled with words, while being fiction, is not necessarily a novel. is it film poetry then? maybe, but it's a frustrating, perplexing, totally impressionistic artifact that's hard to be objective and talk about. again, ymmv.

would have been way cooler if the shootings happened at an art school. but that would have signalled a self-awareness that may have undermined the film's intent.

I did not hate the film. I am pretty sure I didn't "like" it. whatever it was that I was watching, it was interesting.

in closing, this is also probably either the best or worst film review I have ever written.

fairly accurate reading of Elephant. It's both empty and not empty.

Saw the time traveler's wife last night.

Was pretty good, not amazing and didn't manage to get me teary eyed.

7/10 though, wish I'd gotten the chance to read the book first, will still though.

We need a yin/yang smilie.

Inglorious Bastards by Enzo G. Castellari

Hillarious Italian rip-off of Hollywood war movies such as the Dirty Dozen but much funnier than the original. Great role for the Hammer, Fred Williamson.
Lots of slow motion shots à la Sam Peckinpah, low-fi way. The dub was very good in a tongue and cheek way. Since it's italian, it's not like there is an original version anyways.

Doomsday.

Mad Max in Scotland. Add some knights and a fascist distopia. Great movie.

Love that movie. Totally silly, with gratuitous blood and gore. Bob Hoskins and Malcolm MacDowell were the icing on the cake.

Plagiarised a bit by the latest Bessonnerie called Banlieue 13 : Ultimatum. Avoid at all costs.
