I thought he did a good job in "The 9th Gate" but found the movie itself terribly disappointing, considering how great the book it was based on is. Have you seen Depp in "The Libertine"? Damn, he is good as John Wilmot. I think the only Depp movie I did not care much for was "Cry Baby". "Benny and June"...awsome. "Sleepy Hollow"...awesome again.
I actually brought with me a copy of "A String of Pearls", the original tale of the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, if you would like to read it. For a Grub Street hack production, it's good.

I just downloaded "The Five Doctors"...a Dr Who extravaganza. Gallifrey, The Master, TARDIS...so good... agagagagag agagagagag

I lost season 4 of Weeds, so I finally bought it again and watched the whole shebang.  Along with Arrested Development and Simpsons, this show makes me laugh harder than the Joker at a funeral.

Will there be a season 5?

Sweeney Todd, definitely a good film. Beautifully dark, well cast, nice music. I taught the basic story to an advanced class (grade 5 to junior 2, after school program) one year, had them make up their own versions. They would have loved this.

Gangs of New York.  I see why it was nominated for Best Picture... and why it lost.  Worth the watch, though.

It's been years since i actually saw that but man... i can still visualize Daniel Day Lewis in his role... great great acting.

Yeah, I never understood why GONY got so slated.  I thought it was good.
It is too early to say.

Did anyone ever mention The Fountain when it came out (2006)?

I'll mention it now.

The Fountain.


Baraka meets 2001: A Space Odyssey meets a couple of other movies too.  It's beautiful in a way that lets you keep watching even when it gets weird.

Just starting season 4 on MI-5/Spooks, and it still kills any other similar genre series.  Depth in acting, intelligent situations, questioning of current PC stances with intelligence and compassion for both sides, BLOODY good series.

Lewis was amazing in that role.

Watched Get Smart, a remake of the TV show, starring that guy from The Office and The 40 Year-Old Virgin.  It didn't suck!  In fact it was rather clever, had a good story, great action, and made me laugh several times.

I repeat: Get Smart doesn't suck.  bibibibibi

Spooks is good, but I found it got a bit repetitive later on.  I like Series 1 and 2 where there is quite a wide varety of cases/villains/baddies...

Also, Matthew McFayden is in series 1/2 and he's quality.

"Because all over this planet there are animals who feel like they can't.  Like... the little hamster who once spent his days in an RV park dreaming of the day when he too would save a little girl from danger and be told, `You did it.  You did it, Rhino!  You saved the day!'

Three very good films:

Slumdog Millionaire
Danny Boyle directs.  (He directed Trainspotting.)  But it's Indian.
Hilarious in parts.  Compelling.  (Though sacrifices grit for charm.)
 bfbfbfbfbf bfbfbfbfbf bfbfbfbfbf

Choke
The most recent Chuck Palahniuk adaption.  (Chuck wrote Fight Club.)
Great film.  Weird and funny.  Again with the charm factor.
 bfbfbfbfbf bfbfbfbfbf bfbfbfbfbf

RocknRolla
Guy Ritchie back to form.  No character can say anything but what is cool and smart.
The best intro and credit soundtracks eva.
