Going to watch "There will be blood" later today. According to the reviews, it should be really good.

DAVID Wenham will play Johnny Depp's mean sidekick in Michael Mann's take on America's most notorious gangster - John Dillinger.
They start shooting Public Enemies next month

Two really yummy fellas together.  David Wenham was gorgeous as Diver Dan in Seachange.  Depp is gorgeous any time.

Wasn't David Wenham the guy who played Faramir in LOTR?

I just watched Lions for Lambs, the latest Robert Redford flick.  Considering the caliber of actors involved, I was left thinking they could have done more.  But maybe that was the point of the flick, it's not up to 'them' it's up to us.

Got a cheap (= bad copy) DVD of Sweeny Todd the other day. Rather a good film, but why did the goof making the copies have his sound turned down so low? Didn't he know it was a musical? Oh, and the English subtitles were written by someone who failed Oral English in Uni, but if the sound were there that wouldn't be worth mentioning.

I'm with you, KCanuck.  I like Redford and love Streep, and Cruise was pretty good; and the movie pried underneath the easy answers to aim at some true insight; but for all that I left the Lions For Lambs table still hungry.

Death at a Funeral is funny, but not very funny.

Margot at the Wedding was promising: Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh  akakakakak and Jack Black  ababababab .  Someone's gonna hate this movie, but not me- I was spellbound. This is the second movie this week, and the second in a year, that made me feel like I was sitting with these people in the room.  God, I wanted to punch Kidman!  And for different reason than I wanted to during Moulin Rouge.

Hot Fuzz was plain old fun.  Aimed low, but nailed it.

Just shows how different people see things differently. This show really appealed to my sense of humour.

Saw this show today and I couldn't believe that Nicole Kidman would want to be associated with such a hit and miss movie. In this instance,I agreed with one reviewer who said: "It's impossible to like anybody in this film. Self absorbed, petty, pretentious, pathetic pretenders with few saving graces." Just another example of how we each see some things differently in movies.

Last night I watched "Rise of the Footsoldier" an extremely violent British film about a football hooligan who turns into a gangster.  A sort of UK version of Casino.

Right now watching a UK series called Peep Show which everyone has been raving about.  Pretty good so far.

Knocked Up, by the makers of Office Space and The 40 Year Old Virgin: These movies always look like one of those dreary Porky's movies, so I've tended to put off seeing them.  But, like the other two, this is in fact a smart, insightful comedy with deep characters:

Women in comedies, especially the romantic interest, are always woman-as-object cardboard cutouts: nice but not too bright, and astoundingly unaware of what is going on around them.  Ditto male love interest in romances: tall, muscular Jon Bon Jovi types who have a law degree yet inexplicably removate houses for a living.

This flick ain't that.  Everybody in the movie makes you laugh.  Or me, anyway.
