Happy Face

Osama About a young Afghan girl who disguises herself as a boy (dubbed Osama) to get work to feed her family and ends up being indoctrinated by the taliban. It goes without saying that Taliban rule was bad for women and it doesn't tell you anything you don't know already. But the harsh reality of it, the stupefying ignorance and brutality of it, is brought home very powerfully. Also had a Bogart triple bill. Treasure of The Sierra Madre, To Have and have Not and They Drive By Night. But everyone knows they're class so no point saying any more.

I don't know if I've missed something, but are you suggesting Jesus Wept is a phrase rarely uttered with bile outside of these forum walls? It's so old it's in the bible man....

I always liked the one where he made up the story about his uncle abusing him.

New series just over half an hour away. Love watching the barnpots have their dreams shattered uncerimoniously.

Hopkins I liked The Bounty and Chaplin.

Radio 6. Best station by miles. Just played Jungle Boogie and Jump Around.

Listened to the album for first time in a while tonight. Shame that. They were canny. 169634[/snapback] Nothing much but that was the last thing posted on the website. Got some rare vinyl from them, not sure if it means that it has gone up or down in value 169655[/snapback] I guess The Darkness ruined the whole 80's rock revival for everyone.

If you enjoyed that, try Election. And if you are getting into some of this asian stuff, this is a great place to start.... http://www.lovehkfilm.com/features/recommend_kozo.htm

You want to watch Geochilmaru (Uk title - The Showdown).

The UK name is Warrior King if anyone's looking for this. Apparently it has the greatest steadycam tracking shot EVER!

I'm far from knowlegable so I'm happy to be corrected but from what I can gather, there's 3 centres's of Asian film:- Hong Kong tends to be more action oriented. More spectacle. The Hollywood of the East. Japan has more of a classic heratige than a thriving business at the moment. Kurosawa, Ozu, Kobayashi, Mizoguchi etc. Very slow and brooding. What action there is, is realistic and in short bursts. At the moment their best export is the cartoons of Hayao Miyazaki, the slower yakuza films of Takeshi Kitano or the bizarre mind-fucks of Takashi Miike. I think the most exciting area at the moment is South Korea. Kim Ki-duk, Chan-wook Park and that. A younger generation of director coming through.
