Excellent Western which brings up the slightly worrying fact - Clint's useless at spitting...now wipe your chin.


Well, the character of Wales isn't much of a spitter anyway. Though he does manage to hit the dog and a corpse when he needs to. The best bit of course is when he swallows his chew rather than expell it, after the disapproving stare from Grandma Sarah.

If you have the Special Edition DVD of Wales, check out the very end of the good retrospective documentary included, where under the closing credits Eastwood talks about the horrors of having to chew so much tobacco on the production. Very funny.

Hello Salem, my name's Winifred. What's yours
Bedknobs and broomsticks --- not my favourites but i love the 'old disney' films along with the likes of mary poppins, cinderella, peter pan, films that are family movies that are just really watchable. Angela Lansbury was charming as Eglentine Price the apprentice witch and David Tomlinson as the overly ambitious hack Professor Emeilius Brown. I do like this film a lot but in the middle it gets rather annoying

Yup, it's a good doc and in relation to your last point, you win an only slightly soiled copy of Carry On Camping for spotting the deliberate (or not) mistake.

Will this do?

I always laugh and sympathize at the same parts. I love this movie.

The Hurricane 3/5 I'm not really a Denzel Washington fan but this was pretty good.

What a stupid piece of crap. This old dude goes to "study" a tribe and by "study" I mean fullfill his homosexual urges. It's a crap documentary.

The Outlaw Josey Wales
- Simply one of my favorite Westerns of all time.

House of Flying Daggers
- Another amazing Yimou film. Beautiful.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

I dunno, it made me laugh more times than not, so I enjoyed it.



Just saw I Heart Huckabees. For some reason my professor today just randomly decided that she wanted us to see it - not for its relevance to the class or anything - just cos it's such a damn cool movie. And it really is; I was quite surprised.



Ong-Bak - Tony Jaa's physical ability is astounding. The movie itself I could care less about, Tony Jaa is the only real attraction here, and the man simply refuses to disappoint. Serious skull bashing in this movie.

Bullets Over Broadway - Good stuff. Great characters, especially Cheech.

Shaun of the Dead 2.5/5 It wasn't funny like I expected it to be and it also takes itself too seriously for a parody, but the characters were realistic and engaging enough to keep it afloat.



In Soviet America, you sue MPAA!

I agree. It started to pick up in the last 25 minutes or so, but at that point it had already dug a hole it couldn't climb back out of.

That's 'cos it's an homage, not a parody.

Though if repeatedly whacking a landlord with pool cues to the sound of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now is serious, then maybe I watched the wrong movie.

I'm sorry.....

We can rap about some of the concepts once you get into the season a fair amount....
hei, a nice idea.

i especially like the fact that the Cylons progressively appear to be so human, and even potentially humane. i've seen 10 episodes so far. and Number 6 moved me when the other Cylon tells how he kinda wishes he knew what love feels like, and she like has tears in her eyes. till then i thought it was just a game between her and the scientist. plus the fact they seem to be really religious. same thing about Boomer version 2 on Caprica. amazing. and i liked that Leoben guy a lot. the episode when he gets tortured. at the beginning one may think he is just being manipulative and talking philosophical nonsense but then he even forgives Starbuck and puts his hand on the window for a last physical contact... wow, sad.

this show is just great. every night i barely can wait till the next day to see more episodes, and when the last episode on the dvd is finished, i don't wanna believe it! many times i forget, light a cigarette waiting for the next one, and *****, that's all, there are only 3 episodes on each dvd now, unlike the first one that had four...
the only thing disturbing me is that "frack" doesn't exist. that's not a word. F.U.C.K is one!! linguistically perfectly correct. and i'm a linguist.
all the rest, wow...
tell me what are the writing choices so far (till episode 10) you'd have made differently??
