luckypierre 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 the island Got a bit of a slating from some people but I thought it was great. As much as I liked Scarlett Johansson before she is absolutely beautiful in this film, its worth watching just for her and before anyone asks no she doesnt get em out.

Guest alex Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Watched 25th Hour the other night. Edward Norton stars as a convicted heroin dealer and it's about his last 24 hours before he gets sent down. It's well written and the acting is superb. It's set in post 9/11 New York and it's a 'Spike Lee joint'. Well worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) A Very Long Engagement. Touching. 34043[/snapback] I just rented that. Not watched it yet though. Yesterday I watched Downfall, a German film about the last 10 days of world war 2 in Hitlers bunker. Excellent film. Mrs Goebbels is particularly shocking. Took me mother to the flicks tonight to see Pride and Prejudice and I loved that too. Proper wifey film like but as a big fan of Moulin Rouge, that suits me down to the ground. I was never keen on Keira Knightley before, but I love her now. Edited October 2, 2005 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looked very nice but the story just never did it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC adaptation was a masterpiece mind you-can't believe it's 10 years old this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocChip 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Saw 'Dead Men's Shoes' the other day. Brilliant revenge thriller. Looks like it cost about £10.00 to make, everything's carried by the dialogue, plot and acting. Mucho moody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I saw Pride and Prejudice the other week, I really enjoyed it. My future bride is as wonderful as ever, but I thought Donald Sutherland stole the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Didn't have you down as a Jane Austen fan, Sammy! 42824[/snapback] I'm a bit of a devotee on the sly. Keep it under one of your (pink) hats though! Actually I dont like all Austen. Mansfield Park for instance is utter shite, but Pride and Prejudice is just about the best characterisation you'll ever see in a novel. Talk about actually caring about the characters and wanting them to get it on.....! Course neebodby could rip a good yarn quite like Dickens.

Keira just doesnt deliver on that score. Also, whats her dimented grin about...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Tale of Two Cities is class an all. Read Bleak House as well last summer. I think the BBC have just dramatised that one so i'm looking forward to seeing how that makes the transition.
