Just watched Memoirs of a Geisha to see what all the fuss is about. I'll post my impressions over at the Geisha topic we already have going.

In fact, I found In the Mood for Love far better than Days of Being Wild (which was also really good, mind you), plus 2046 is a kind of answer to In the Mood for Love.

Just finished The Bourne Supremacy. It's a better film than its predecessor in terms of plot, but the direction used so much close up, shaky camera work than in about 90% of the action scenes I had absolutely zero idea what was going on. The way they killed off one of the characters in the first ten minutes, meanwhile, just made me go "oh. fine." .
Fun, but flawed. |

Supremacy was fantastic. I cried like a frigging baby when they did that, and that was the idea. He's never safe, but then again, he's never safe either. If you see what I mean. And this really drove it home, and it's not as if they didn't really fight to escape either or that the death didn't impact heavily on Bournes character, otherwise he wouldn't put his foot down quite so hard.

The Austin Powers films would be good if they kept all the spy-spoof stuff and cut out the juvenile sex gags. Of course, then the film would be about twenty minutes long, but at least I wouldn't feel mildly embarassed when watching it .

Isn't that where he's running around nude and there are things artfully covering the privates but there are also phallic objects everywhere?

Austin Powers walks a fine line indeed. There's a lot of inspired comedy in there, but an equal amount of meh sexjokes. The best parts in my opinion the ones in the first movie where Dr. Evil is spoofing the secret agent genre, with elaborate deathtraps and sharks with fricking laserbeams attached to their foreheads

But really, as is the case which most films, the most obscene part of it were the french voice-overs.

Munich - Stephen Spielberg.
Man this film was fantastic. Bana was brilliant as the family man turned assassin. He's also a fantastic chef. The acting was superb throughout I thought. The scene with the PLO agent on the stairs and then the look they give each other later was priceless. I was also nice to see that speech on the stairs mirrored by Bana's mother in the movie showing that both sides are after the same thing. A place on earth for their people to live. I'm sure the political side of it will be endlessly discussed, but I thought it was handled pretty well without being overly biased. The hostage scene being nicely shown at the start and in a couple of flashback sequences later in the movie. Of course how much is fiction and how much is fact is debatable, but this is Spielberg at his best and for once he doesn't put in a soppy ending to highlight that the events in the movie have never ended. Especially as it takes place in Brooklyn with the twin towers in the background. A must see.
