Monty Python - Almost the Truth
Monty Python was an incredible influence on me when I was growing up. I had all the videos, had books of the scripts which I read though and thought about an awful lot. Looking back on it, it was incredibly hit-and-miss, like most comedy, but the good parts really were very good. This documentary, for the fortieth anniversary, was rather similar. There's nothing like analysing comedy to destroy all of its impact, but the reminiscences about the personal relationships were interesting. And it made me want to see the exceptional Life of Brian - such a perceptive deconstruction of religious dogma - again. -

There should be six episodes according to BBC, so perhaps you just saw the first one? BBC says the episodes will later be released on DVD, so that's good news.

This is great children adventure movie. I just enjoyed each and every moment of the film. By the way, what a score by Basil? simply amazing. GREAT MOVIE AND SCORE INDEED!
UNDER SIEGE 2: THE DARK TERRITORY
This is one of my favorite action flick. This is really superb action movie i have ever seen. At present days, i don't see films like this. I am very glad to own this film.
THE EXORCIST: THE HERETIC
This movie is not that much bad as i read reviews about this movie. This one is completely different sequel i have ever seen. Though its not like the original, the movie has its own good elements. First of all, many of us would have thought that what was the necessity for the sequel. But here, filmmakers came out with some new refreshing idea of exorcism, where you don't see Regan (Linda Blair) get possessed by demon Pazuzu. Despite that story revolves around Regan who was disturbed by her own past nightmare incidents. Her unusual thoughts and dreams haunting her, especially by the demon pazuzu, so, Father ( Richard Burton - did a fantastic job) helps her out to relieve from that wild dreams and thoughts connected to the demon Pazuzu. This movie is more pyschological thriller than horror. This is the reason why people didn't like this movie, because people's expectation was high and they thought it would be like another Exorcist movie. Eventually, they were disappointed. However, i appreciate the filmmakers for giving this kind of different pyschological horror flick. I strongly disagree with many people saying that this one is worst sequel ever made. Each and every cast members did excellent Job.
To talk about score by Ennio Morricone, his score for this movie was quite awesome and very haunting. I liked the theme music, which you can hear through out the movie and also in end credits. Good score by Ennio Morricone.
Overall, it is good movie and worth watching.Racism, Prejudices and discrimination exists everywhere. -

I just watched The Graham Norton Show. That's right, The Graham Norton Show. Just in case you didn't get that... it's The Graham Norton Show.
Yeah, anyway... just because David Mitchell and Robert Webb were guest - I love those guys. Plus, Anna Paquin's really quite hot. -

The Incredibles weaker than Cars. Good one.
The Incredibles is the only one that doesn't really feel like a Pixar film to me. Just didn't get the magic from it. Cars is "classic Pixar" (even though it's the weakest of that category).
I see what you mean. A great film, but I suppose it hasn't got that magic or charm that the other Pixar films have. It has its own charm for sure, but not the sort we usually get from Pixar. I think that's a good thing though, it keeps things 'fresh' as they say.
Watched a South Bank Show about Pixar the other day and John Lasseter essentially said the same thing as you. They were worried about getting stale, so brought Brad Bird in and just told him to do whatever he wanted. Nice documentary - most of it was an interview with Lasseter but they also had sequences with all the other people who have directed Pixar films. The drive for quality is obvious from all of them.
There was also a little segment on the forthcoming Disney hand-drawn The Princess and the Frog, which looks very good. Lasseter said they were aiming for a look which is a bit like Lady and the Tramp, which (embarrassing though it may be for a 31-year-old male to say) for me represents the pinnacle of aniimated filmmaking, so I'm pleased with that. The clips looked great, and the excerpts from Randy Newman's songs sounded great. -

You know Up is a movie I have absolutely no problem to buy without seeing it in the theatre. To see it in the comfort of my home cinema is the better option for me. I don't like going to the (expensive) cinema anymore like I used to. Besides blu-ray is already way better than the quality you get in the cinema.
3D is now the only reason anymore to make a trip towards the nearest cineplex, as far as I'm concerned."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I always become sad when I read about how the younger generation neglects the cinema experience. It's probably because I grew up going to the cinema almost every week. And although I have a very good home cinema system, I still prefer going to the cinema. Movies on the BIG screen with an audience is always a different experience and for me it's a better experience than watching movies at home.
That's why one of my favourite movies is Cinema Paradiso. You can never make a romantic, lyrical movie about home cinema experiences. -

^ Exactly. And something like Up in 3D is unmissable!
