Whatever Works

The combination of Larry David and Woody Allen registers a 9.7 on the neurotic-as-fuck scale.

loved that film. saw a lot of me in there.

FINALLY saw Watchmen.  Feel like overall it was handled pretty well, casting was pretty good, and nothing that got lost to the cutting process was super glaringly obvious (bearing in mind that it has been a few years since I read the graphic novel).  The way people kept going on about Big Blue Dong, I was expecting a lot more gratuitous blue-nudity than there was though

Was also amused that Molloch and Stewart are played by actors from Eureka!, and that they're the only ones I readily recognized

watchmen shoulda stayed a comic

[tim]

I think you'll find it still is a comic.

[TPD]

not really. the notion is tainted.

Sounds right up my alley. I'll have to check it out.

[Goose]

Actually Kristin, I'm quite surprised you haven't seen it already! It totally would be your kind of thing.

Solid Allen film. One of his best in years.


I finally saw The Last Exorcism. Holy shitballs! What an effective use of the now tired fake-documentary style flick. Really well shot. Keeps the thrills up. Lots of turns. Good acting. I liked it. I felt sufficiently creeped out at the end.

So has anyone seen this new "Hanna" film everyone's raving about?

My bank holiday weekend was filled by a Yuen Biao and Gordon Liu marathon:

36 Chambers of Shaolin
Clan of the White Lotus
Eastern Condors
Prodigal Son
Meals on Wheels

Snowtown. Grim.

finally watched 'the girl with the dragon tattoo', 'the girl who played with fire', and 'the girl who kicked the hornet's nest'... or as i like to call them 'girl who was in a bunch of movies with horrible fan-made subtitles'... pirating stuff is great, but wow sometimes it fails...

having said that, the films were enjoyable... the last two kinda dragged... like a lot.
really can't wait to see what fincher and trezzy does with it.

Yeah I enjoyed that one so much that I have watched several times already.  Highly recommended.

And I don't care if it is overplayed...  I love the "found footage" type of movies for some reason.

Another great low budget movie I can recommend that is sort of along those lines is Mosters.  It was a real pleasant surprise to watch.  I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did.  Very aesthetically pleasing.

I saw a horrible low-budget one at a test screening and completely tore it apart... and then the guy doing the screening admitted to directing it.
