ewerk 27285 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 It's a class film and Kate Winslet and Jim Carey are both fantastic in it imo. You've summed it up beautifully HF. It does get better the more you watch it too. It has a poetic beauty and you can totally lose yourself in it. That's what I reckon anyway. Maybe im just dead inside? Or perhaps you just don't think like a big girl. "Are you courting yet Ewerk?" "Euugh, no way, girls smell , now where's me catapult" I didn't get a chance to watch your shit film last night because I was out, WITH A GIRL!!!! I've Sky+'d it so I'll watch it tonight and decide whether it's an up-lifting, beautiful poem or still a pile of steaming averageness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Great Expectations (the David Lean version) was on earlier. Class film and one of the best openings to a film I can think of (which I missed this time) with Magwitch on the marshes. Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Eternal Sunshine is on Film Four again tonight at 9 so I'm setting the Sky+ on the recommendations of Alex and Happy Face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) SATURDAY 28TH JULY THE 39 STEPS 1.15pm BBC2 Classic Hitchcock without adverts . The lead reminded me of Rodney Bewes. THE LADY VANISHES 2.40pm BBC2 Classic Hitchcock without adverts . Never seen it. RIO BRAVO 3.55pm ITV3 Howard Hawks Western with John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. Sounds awful when you put it like that, but it's a class film with the definitive performance of a gnarled old man by Walter Brennan OLIVER TWIST 5.05pm Film4 David Lean's version, goes to show a remake can be brilliant. JAWS 8.45pm ITV1 HTT's got the popcorn ready. LOST IN TRANSLATION 9pm Film4 Very good. TONY TAKITANI 2.25am Film4 Tony is lonely so he gets married. His wife likes to shop. He doesn't appreciate it. He's left lonely. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS! Very slow indeed. I enjoyed it. SUNDAY 29TH JULY CHARLIE’S ANGELS 8pm five Superb film MONDAY 30TH JULY NAPOLEON DYNAMITE 9pm Film4 Canny funny like. THE BIG RED ONE 11.25pm BBC1 I want to see this. Need to get Sky+ in I think PERSONA 2.25am Film4 Ingmar Bergman masterpiece. Proper head fuck. WEDNESDAY 1ST AUGUST ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM 10pm More4 I never really followed the story at the time but I was shocked at how it all happened. The fact that they were turning off power in Calafornia to drive up their stock price and people were put in danger as a result was disgusting. Strongly recommended. THE DEATH OF MR LAZARESCU 12.55am Film4 This has had rave reviews all over the shop and I was looking forward to it. I knew it was about a dying man's wait for treatment in the Romanian health service (which sounds very boring) but reviews were so positive I thought it must have something about it. It didn't. I was bored out of my tiny little mind for two and a half hours. The odd shocking moment towards the end wasn't enough to drag me out of my stupour. The entire nursing population of Romania are absoloutley stunning like, and the eye candy held my attention until the end but I really can't see why this was voted world film of the year by BBC4. THURSDAY 2ND AUGUST LOST IN TRANSLATION 9pm Film4 Again? It's canny, but howay. TRANSFORMERS - THE MOVIE 10pm ITV4 Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy and Eric Idle star FRIDAY 3RD AUGUST THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING 6.30pm Film4 Michael Caine and Sean Connery, two of the most annoying men ever.

I've watched the first ten or fifteen minutes about four times but I keep falling alseep. Mind you it doesn't help when I always seem to be sticking it one at about half ten!

David Kelly 1121 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Oh I definitely will but I think I need to make sure it's when I have some time to sit and watch it properly when I'm not on the verge of nodding off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye well, it's quite slow, but it's very atmsopheric and it's beautifully shot. I meant to tell Happy Face to watch it but I forgot as I think he'd love it. Me, Patrockles and someone else were on about it a while ago on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although after watching Tokyo Story (which is also very slow and lacking in anything aproaching action) last night I feel a bit better about trying again. I'm also having the same problem with an Indian film called Pather Panchali which also comes very highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Looks like a canny documentary starting on BBC2 right now TV Junkie Documentary about drug addiction. When he got a camera at the age of 14, Rick Kirkham began recording his life on tape. After breaking into TV, he rose from local news to a job as correspondent for the daredevil magazine show Inside Edition. But despite his wish to be a devoted father and husband, he succumbed to drugs and despair. This film is a journey into the heart an mind of a drug addict, capturing Rick's fight for survival with unprecedented immediacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
