Movie/film thread: resurrected

since i got back to PI and got busy with my new job i havent watched good films yet...sad..im not even in the know of what's new..

Does anyone remember that old "Dick Turpin" series starring Richard O'Sullivan? I fondly remember it from my childhood and found it on DVD the other day. Not as good as the obiously tainted childhood memories made it out to be but still amazingly funny. Especially after I have read so many books on highwaymen and now get all the historical references and why this Turpin character in the series so far removed from the real Turpin as he could possibly be.

Sat and watched a film with two students, yesterday.  Tim Allen's "Zoom Academy".  Nice, light amusement.  Perfect for a Friday afternoon.

Watching the series of "Profiler" in between marking post-grad papers. Interesting, but not  brilliant.

Watched the new Dylan film last night, very well done but a little confusing, wil watch it again when not doped up on cold meds. Also watched Snatch, MMMMMMM MMMMMM Brad Pitt is hot as a Pikey in that film, loads of eye candy .

I just watched I'm Not There as well.  I really liked it!  I love that actress from The Science of Sleep, Charlotte Gainsbourg.

I also bought Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but the subtitles were screwy and the audio was Russian!  I need to change DVD shops.  Anyway, has anyone seen it?  I'm not sure if I should exchange it and take a chance that the new one is just as bad, or just trade it for a different movie altogether.

I have it - but not yet watched - must go check it!!  Most DVD shops will let you check them before you buy.  And mine will also let me bring them back if they are not good.

How's the ankle??

Johnny Depp does it for me but Brad Pitt is certainly up there, definitely good enough for my when i'm wrapped up in bed lol.

Yummy yummy, also Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger, and i LOVE Sean Connery's voice, it gives me goose bumps .

Also watched Ratatoullie (sp) last night a good fun kids flick.

Brad Pitt doesn't do it for me - but Johnny Depp is certainly in there - especially when he has his hair long.

And you can't forget Peirce Brosnan or Naveen Andrews who played Sayyid in Lost. Yummy!

Orlando Bloom is a pansy. 

   It's time for me to stop laughing at this remark, which really isn't that funny.

Okay, NOW I'll stop.

... I wasn't ready.  Now.

I can't believe Heath ledger is fucking dead.

he looked to have nailed the Joker too.

Yeaj, I watched CNN last night. Just flicking through the channels, and suddenly the telly told me Heath Ledger was dead. Quite a shamne, thought he was a good actor.

Just saw "Lust Caution" directed by Ang Lee who also directed "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It's being called a "Chinese porno flick" which would explain why the usually near empty theatre was looking like a room at the Treasury Casino in Brisbane.(full of Asian people)It also appears that this movie is really frowned on by the Chinese Government, perhaps because it has become infamous for featuring the two main actors in explicit sex scenes. Aparently Mr Lee is proud to admit that he choreographed these scenes. I took my 70 yrs old female neighbour to the show and I can tell you, it had her on the edge of the seat with eyes as wide as a child's.
I thought the actors were in training for gymnastics at the olympics 
When I came out of the movie, I commented that I thought that this was more a "chick" flick. Some guy waiting to go in to the next show overheard my comment and asked,in effect, if he should tear up his ticket. I assured him he'd love the sex scenes (as my neighbour tried to vanish into thin air) After all of that, I really wanted to ask a question. Has anyone (particularly male) seen this show, and what did you think of it?

Not seen it yet.  Looking forward to it though
