looneytoon 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I guess no one else has seen Spirit of the Beehive. I'm so alone. I've seen it, again one of my favourite films. I don't think there's ever been a finer child performance in any film I've seen than Ana Torrent's. Those eyes are just mesmerising. I think the ghost of Spirit Of the Beehive runs through Pan's Labyrinth as well, not just through the fact that both contain curious girls who want to explore beyond familiar surroundings, but also in cinematography and occasionally the script. El Sol del Membrillo is an amazing film too... I have to get my hands on a copy of El Sur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1115 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Dogville. Very good. I can't say that I stopped noticing the fact that is was basically filmed on a blank stage (in fact I think it's something you are supposed to notice) but it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying the film immensely. Despite it's near three hour length it never seemed long or drawn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 What becomes of the broken hearted? It's the follow up to Once were warriors and is based around the gang culture in New Zealand, if you enjoyed the first one you'll definitely enjoy this.

Aye I saw that on the imdb yesterday, I think I'll add it onto my list. He's making the third part too I think. John Hurt's narration is excellent although it pissed off wor lass who was trying to go to sleep while I was watching it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 A Scanner Darkly - enjoyed it, pretty true to the book in both content and the paranoid near-future feel of Dick's text. Like the rotoscope animation effects too. And Woody Harrelson was great in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looneytoon 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Alien, Director's Cut. 10/10. Still as scary today as it was the first time I saw it. Isn't it great that two of the finest sci-fi films ever made were directed by a guy from South Shields? I still think this is his greatest achievement and one of the most brilliant films of all time.

Great film but I still prefer Aliens which is one the select sequels to improve on the original film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Ronin, was alreet. No it isn't. Why do you dislike it? I absolutely hate it, it's complete and utter shite of the lowest order. A small selection of the reasons why I hate it: - Massive gaping plot holes. - Ridiculous storyline. - Shockingly bad acting. - Rubbish dialogue. - Sean Bean. - Sean Bean. - Excessively long car chase. - Poor cinematography. - Lame special effects. - No basis in reality. - Sean Bean. - Loads of other stuff - Sean Bean. It's shit. brilliant film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
