Full Metal Jacket
Pretty perfect film-making IMO. What I love most about this film is the way it doesn't preach to the audience. It doesn't preach that war is wrong, that killing is wrong - it just shows how fucked up war is.
I don't think there's a single wasted scene or shot in the entire movie?
Nope. This one is, as you say, pretty much perfect. It's been a while since I watched it and I must do so again.
There was a Kubrick documentary on tv last year which included some footage of him shooting this which was truly fascinating. Would love to see some of that stuff packaged up as a special feature on the Blu-Ray, but despite the film having already been released twice on that format, I don't think they've done it yet. -

PHONE BOOTH
It's amazing how Kiefer Sutherland can hold an entire movie with just his voice. I like him in this dark and twisted role for a change.
Anyone know or seen a film about a man who gets trapped inside a phone booth? I think the film might be Spanish? It's very "Twilight Zone" like with a creepy ending.
Tim, the film is called "La Cabina" (the phone booth), and it was shot and released in 1972.

Glad you liked it. Classic spanish short film.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

The Tree of Life
(No, not the Terrence Malick film!)
A documentary by my favourite living Briton about my favourite dead one was as exciting a televisual prospect as I could hope to experience, and this film didn't disappoint. Beautifully condensing the great Charles Darwin's theories into simple, easily-understood language, interspersing with example footage drawn from David Attenborough's exceptional series over the past decades, I haven't watched anything which enthralled me so much on television for some time. Beautiful score by a composer called Dan Jones, too. -

GRAN TORINO: I finally got to see it and I wasn't disappointed in the story that Eastwood told. A story of life, befriending of people he once killed, gangs, death, family or lack of, and finally death. I was impressed including the music which again was simple and sparse save the ending with the vocal but worked well.

I think this will be a great movie indeed. I don't think this is the kind of movie you have to see on the big screen. But in your own home with family I think this is a perfect dramatic movie
Looking forward to see itwaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

Saw the movie last night as well and really enjoyed it. Felt a bit guilty laughing at all the racial slurs but the way Eastwood delivered them were just damn spot on with the character and for some reason it made me chuckle... especially the last lines in the movie. I can totally see myself turning into a grumpy old bastard just like Eastwood's character when I get old and leathery... minus the racial hatred, gun pointing, the no respect from family and love of beef jerky of course.
As for the score... there was no need for a score whatsoever. It really didn't really do much anyway so why have any. And I couldn't help but cringe at Eastwood's growling attempt at singing just before the end credits. :shudder: Besides that both the wife and I really enjoyed the film.

Anyway, to more important things.
Has anyone been watching Total Wipeout of BBC1, Saturday evening?
20 UK citizens travel out to Argentina (!?!?, maybe for Heath & Safety reasons?) to take part in an obstacle course that's ideal for watching again in good old slo' mo'. For several weeks now the question in our house is whether anyone will even manage to get across the 4 huge bouncy balls...and this week there was the first person to make it across:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ufc030OfmE0 (hence all the jubilation)
Richard Hammond's voiceovers can be quite cutting - and certainly adds to the enjoyment in our household. It may be daft and not very taxing on the mind but it's a show that we all 4 can sit down to watch and we are all in stitches from start to finish.
I'm sure that if you type "Total Wipeout" into Google you'll get the idea of the show in no time at all.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

The Eastwood singing in Gran Torino was after the film was over. I agree it was pretty rough and the music that Kyle provided was enough to fill in the dead spots with something. If this was his last hurrah as a starring actor it was a good one. :thumbs up:listen to more classical music! -

The Missing
Not a great film, but it does have some very funny parts, and is certainly not without its merits, prime amongst them the way it looks (gorgeous) and the music (which I enjoyed a lot more in the film than I ever have on CD... must get that album out again!) -

THE INCREDIBLES
Easily one of my favourite films, and one of the best CGI films ever made. Loving the "Nomanisan island" gag which I've never spotted before.
