Everyone should see the Wallace and Gromit movie. It's great.

Sounds a lot like "Flensburger Pilsener" to me.

Karlsberg Urpils - The beer for the man inside the man (that's what they keep telling me on TV).

"The Flens. That's Flensing", is what they keep telling me at the cinema - to get back on topic...

The Longest Yard (new one)

I saw "Kiss kiss bang bang" and I liked it. Funny stuff.

Just watched The Insider last night. Terrific movie, which made me stay up way past my bedtime and now I’m so sleepy.

I’m sorta in the journalism business (trade magazine), and of course have witnessed the sticky, murky dance between edit and advertisers. Ever since mainstream news orgs became profit centers rather than acknowledged cash losers, determining what news stories are really being ignored because they’d be unflattering to advertisers or bring unwanted attention to corporate becomes more and more difficult. Thank god for the internet and blogs.

Russel Crowe was fantastic. And Christopher Plummer was great conveying that little bit of vain posturing by Mike Wallace perfectly. Great movie all in all (although I wished Michael Mann had toned down the music in some parts – it added a terrific feel and mood to most of the movie, but there were a very few parts where I thought it was a little much).

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTFL!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!11111111 Watch this! I haven't laughed this hard since.. oh,

eh,

whatever. Anyway, watch it! ROTFL!

I just saw Casshern, everybody should see that one, it is 158 minutes and i think i cried about 120 minutes, and I don´t crie to other movies

SamandMax · 10-21-2005, 10:14 PM

I just saw Doom. Is it a good movie? Nope, not really. But it somehow manages to be really entertaining. The actors really have no script whatsoever to work with, but they do the best they can and it's a testament to their talent that we *kinda* care when they're killed off. With a lot of dreck like Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator, and Underworld clogging up the action/horror genre, it's almost a relief to get Doom, which takes itself a little less serious and gives you some fun.

Huz · 10-21-2005, 10:26 PM

Oh man, Doom. I can hardly wait.

Some movies I have seen recently and some very brief reviews:

That new "...of the Dead" movie: Zombies. Random telegraphed 'scares'. Less funny than the originals. All in all, not bad if you like zombies and cliche.

Red Eye: completely implausible but enjoyable thriller type thing. An average movie, not one I'd make a special effort to see.

Serenity: I enjoyed this more than any sci-fi movie in a long time. Original, entertaining and compelling. A bit overpopulated though.

The League of Gentleman's Apocalypse: what the hell was that? I can only assume that the writers were lobotomised between writing the television series and making this. How they came up with such a bone-crunchingly unfunny (and, for that matter, self-agrandising) movie is beyond me. (To be fair, I could only stand the first half. I'll watch the second half through gritted teeth tomorrow, since I've paid for the rental and all.)

Office Space: PC Load Letter? What the **** is PC Load Letter? Brilliant stuff, spot on.

squarejawhero · 10-22-2005, 01:41 AM

Batman Begins, at last.

Fantastic first half, descends into silliness and wasted Cillian Murphy's scarecrow completely. Still damn good though, just wish it had got the balls to stick to its feel that they perpetuated in the first half.

Tobbe · 10-22-2005, 01:46 AM

Saw Gangs Of New York, for the first time, great movie, but I had great hopes to, because it´s Martin Scorseses works..

squarejawhero · 10-22-2005, 02:01 AM

I love the beginning of that movie.
