    FINALLY I saw it and what an amazing film it. Savage, d'Angelo, Treat Williams, everybody is amazing. I can perfectly see what got Forman to make this movie. I know that there is major change in the ending compared to the Broadway original and when I think of it, I think the change was inspired. Music, everything was great and the ending is just really dramatic and moving. Great movie.


    I've neer seen the film. Does everyone get naked?

    O'HORTEN

    This fine Norwegian movie cannot be easily categorized. It's about an old train machinist (who worked on the line between Oslo and Bergen), who needed to quit his job. That leads to he not knowing what to do, leading to some bizarre stories and odd moments. It's a quiet, slow paced movie that I really enjoyed here at the Filmfestival (it won Best Director award). Especially the story with the man at the ending was just absurd. Not hilarious, but I had a constant smile on my face.

    Some music was especially nice. The score was composed by the Norwegian John Erik Kaada, with a feel good sound to it. If you know Sigur Ros and their accompanied band Amiina, or some stuff of Yann Tiersen, then you'll love this. Here you can listen to some tracks: http://www.kaada.no/ (Choose Film Music and then O'Horten)

    I just went to Teddington Studios and watched them filming an episode of "Not Going Out" with Lee Mack and Tim Vine. Unbelievably awesome - half the laughs just came from all the cock-ups. biggrin

    I´ve just found out there´s an american version of Little Britain called Little Britain USA ( rolleyes ). The british version is amazing, well, almost all british comedies I´ve watched are brilliant. So, is the american version worth watching?

    I've been getting into the old Gerry Anderson (Thunderbirds) TV shows on dvd lately.
    Such as Supercar, UFO and Space 1999.
    My favorite being UFO. There's something very cool and stylish about the dated costumes, sets, special effects and the Barry Gray score. Far from realistic, there are many good episodes here. Love looking back at the shows I watched as a kid!

    Watched Gibson's Hamlet. More fun for me to watch instead of Oliver's.
    My favorite Shakespeare experience though was seeing Patrick's Stewart's Macbeth on Broadway. That was amazing!!!

    Love UFO for all the reasons you mention. At the same time it was very cerebral and adult in storyline.

    Absolutely love ALL Barry Gray music cool

    I'm no fan of the original though some sketches did make me laugh, some were inspired even. I've seen two of the USA episodes and it's flogging a dead horse for cash IMO.

    Thankfully Brit TV is well served at the moment with 'Have I Got News For You', 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' and 'Harry Hill's TV Burp' biggrin

    I'd say that, no, Little Britain USA is not worth watching. I've given up watching it - I've seen it all before and the fact they are in the US isn't novel enough to keep the interest. Stick with the original - and the earlier the series the better.

    A few days ago I bought a low budget British horror flick on DVD.

    "Outpost"

    It stars that guy from ROME, Ray something, and its about an interesting bunch of mercenaries getting attacked by undead ubernazis. Its actually a really good movie, considering the budget was only 300000 pounds or something. A pleasant suprise. Its a kind of Predator (the first movie) meets Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Some nice creepy moments and good acting. Only the score wasn't too good.

    THE DARK KNIGHT

    Watched it for a second time last night, not too much to add really as I go along with the general consensus here that it's a brilliant film, this really is MY kind of Batman, it's a film that actually lives up to it's hype ( mostly ). Heath Ledger was an inspired choice to play the joker though the hype surrounding him as being a sho-in for the Oscar is nonsense IMO.

    The score really did nothing for me, nought more than sonic wallpaper.

    p.s. the bat-bike is just pure sex on wheels punk cool

    RV: The Incredible Hulk

    The good:
    Well, there's loads of little easter eggs to keep the major geeks among us happy. Betty addressing the package at the end to D. Banner, rather than B. (David Banner was the main character's name in the television series, because one studio executive thought the name Bruce was too gay...), the suggestion of Bruce wearing purple pants, the foreshadowing of Dr. Sterns becoming The Leader and the excellent and unexpected surprise cameo at the very end.

    Though I was less than impressed with Hulk's first appearance, the second half of the film makes up for that: Abomination's rampage and the final battle really look quite good.
    But at the end of the day, eggs and great CGI do not a good movie make.

    The bad:
    Sadly, and especially in comparison to Ang Lee's flawed, but at least interesting and visually more attractive version, this movie is pretty much an excuse for a protracted, mindless slugfest.
    None of the characters seem to have any inkling what to do, with General Ross heading the pack: "Shoot it...oh, that's not working. OK, shoot it some more. Hm. That's not doing anything either. OK, maybe we can shoot it?".
    Norton and Tyler looking about 17 years old (and thus hardly believable as doctors), and, though I admire William Hurt as an actor, Sam Elliott was FAR better cast as the general.

    Armstrong's score is nothing special but fits the visuals well.

    All in all, I'm looking forward to Hulk 3, which seems poised to be interesting at the very least, but Hulk 2 was forgettable, mildly entertaining fluff.

    Would you really call this one Hulk 2 though? I see it as more of a do over.

    Nope. I would really call this Hulk 2.
    Yes, I realize the studio was up for a reboot, which is why there was no in-line reference to what happened in Hulk 1, but the fact that Bruce starts the film in South America (where he ended in Hulk 1, though that wasn't Brazil), that Bruce already is the Hulk, leaves absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is a sequel.
    But I would agree it's more a sequel in the sense of Superman Returns being a sequel.

    Actually the one cause -at least in Marvel continuity- is linked with the other. While this isn't explored in the film, they've left it vague enough to not alienate Marvel universe purists.

    Okay, I see what your saying. They didn't change things enough to say the previous film never happened. But they separated them enough where the first one could very easily be overlooked and ignored to not bring down the new one.

    I guess kind of like the new Punisher. Any news on that besides entirely changing the feel for the last one (which I loved kill).

    Watched Sunday: Apocalypto.
    I'm convinced now that any bad rap Mel Gibson is getting is fueled either by religious begrudging, which, most of the time, has nothing to do about whether the man can make a movie or not (it's like disliking Tom Cruise's acting talents because of his life choices), or fueled by an audience simply not wishing to see something so completely evocative and visceral. If you don't want to be utterly transported into another place and time and witness a completely alien yet very REAL culture in our history like you were really there, then why do you bother with his films? But of course if you're like me, then you'll be fascinated by this shocking trip back in time, and the final image of the film is something that, even though I saw coming, still had me scrape my jaw off the floor. That single image (which I won't spoil) puts the ENTIRE movie in perspective, just in less than 10 seconds.

  28. And thanks for not spoiling it. I´ve yet to see the movie, and after your review, I think I finally will do it very soon.

    It´s the same with Passion of the Christ. That movie was drowned by the discussion, but when I finally saw it, it was nothing like I had heard. It was amazing, it was deeply moving, with beautiful settings and imagery, and to listen to those original languages was a very unusual, but great experience.

    I´m looking forward to apocalypto now.

    Dude, an amazing film. I pretty much love every movie he is involved in, plus he is my third favorite actor.

    Mel said some terrible things, but was completely wasted at the time. Drunk people say things that aren't true, and not necessarily their feelings. And, I'm sure you are all familiar with the pressure the Jewish community and big Jewish owners in Hollywood put on Mel. Going through all the crap and threats they put him through, I may have some subdued anger toward them too.
