    There's certainly a chick flick to be found in Titanic I think. I prefer it as a special effects film myself.

    Ah come on my friend, it was the primal "close your eyes, lean your head to the (real or imaginable prince of a) boyfriend and cry your lungs out for Leo's and Rose's true untainted LOVE." chick dream for years!

    "The Reader" was the best film I've seen in the past few months. While I didn't feel that Winslet didn't deserve a GG for her performance in Revolutionary Road it was completely the opposite in this film. Of the last few films I've seen here is my ranking. Keep in mind these are just the ones I've seen and I'm talking about the film not the music.
    1.... The Reader
    2.... The Changeling
    3.... The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    4.... Slumdog Millionare
    5.... The Day The Earth Stood Still
    6.... Revolutionary Road
    listen to more classical music!

    A film where the reviews I've read has seriously made me NOT to want to see it.

    I think he is ranking the "last few films he has seen."

    Max Payne. Not quite what I expected, but not as terrible as the reviews made me believe.
    But you didn't hear me say that it was good, though. :P

    The Edge of Heaven
    Whoah! Great movie. I loved the interconnected stories and relationships. More power to Turkish cinema. The score was very nice too. Too bad it didn't show up come award season.

    And that's my last movie for this month. Exams!
  1. THE EDGE OF HEAVEN is one of the few truly great recent contemporary films. Was there actually a score?

    Wasn't there one? I mean, I know some of it were songs but the music in a lot of places where he's traveling is what I was referring to.

    I have to check out other films of Fatih Akin. Especially this.
  2. HEAD ON is full on. It does lack the grace of EDGE OF HEAVEN, but is still a very fine film.

    I must see EDGE OF HEAVEN again. It was the only film I saw last year that truly got tears from me without cajoling. (At the start of the third story, when the mother of Charlotte met Nejat in the hotel foyer.)

    PRIDE AND GLORY

    Colin Farrel and Edward Norton, good cop story, strong and coherent, good pace with all the cliches included but still very enjoyable. Mark Isham's score is moody and minimalistic with this time bearing several moments of Santaolallisms. 2008 must have been one of his least inspired years.

    You can say that again. sleep

    With Eight Below and especially Black Dahlia, I instantly became an Isham fan and I've looked forward to every one of his scores since... but alas, he has not lived up to those expectations.

    This week I watched Shyamalan's The Happening for a second time, just to check that, yes, it really is the most entertainingly terrible film ever made, and that watching it is as close as you can get to experiencing otherworldly concussion without swallowing fistfuls of ketamine and running headfirst into a brick wall.

    And just now I finished watching National Treasure 2 which was a completely harmless and entertaining romp.

    Thunderball

    Haven't watched this for many years until last night's Blu-Ray viewing. An excellent Bond film! And maybe Connery's ultimate Bond performance? He's got the wit down to a tee but there's still the edge there that was present in his earliest outings. Brilliant score, genius production design from Ken Adam and some of the most gorgeous Bond girls of all.

    On that last point... can't work out which is my favourite.

    Claudine Auger as Domino
    or Martine Beswick as Paula
    or perhaps Luciana Paluzzi as Fiona Volpe

    Sheer quality, I tell you! Years ahead of its time.

    She's extremely beautiful, but I don't remember her being in Thunderball, which rather rules her out of the competition I'm afraid.

    No, only a few. They're doing it in (seemingly random) batches. I'll probably buy the Connery ones, be more selective about the rest. Glad I never got round to buying any of them on DVD now.
