I'm a woman over 40. I'll go and watch the Sound of Music now. Good evening kids don't kill each other ;-)

Don't worry, just joking. I like many kinds of movies. Your discussion made me curious about Lars von Trier ;-)

Damnit :P

Hahaha.

I hate (winking) David Lynch. And I obviously hate (more winking) Jason Statham.

"Perfect Murder" has great performance by Michael Douglas but it was a bit distressing for me to watch now, 'cause he has cancer and I hate it when actors I admire get sick :/

Eternal Sunshine --> 10/10
The Sting --> 9/10
Vertigo --> 8/10
The Graduate --> 8/10
Coraline --> 7/10
The Science of Sleep --> 7/10
Chaplin --> not seen (sati is gonna hate me for that lol)
Lucia y el sexo --> not seen

So I would recommand you Eternal Sunshine! But they are all great movies :-)

Well I watched Crank (6/10) Crank 2 (6/10) LockStock (9/10) Snatch (9/10) Revolver (4/10) The Bank Job (5/10) Collateral (7/10) and The Italian Job (5/10) Couldn't bring myself to watch "The Transporter" though...

Thanks for your tips, I'll probably watch something completely different (no not Monty Python's). I'll let you know what I think about the movies.

Because they didn't make it about a 50 foot croc!

+ Harry Brown (2009) --> 7/10 great vigilante movie with a brilliant Michael Caine! Plus it's fun to see Ben Drew (Plan B)

+ Chaplin (1992) --> 7/10 : Attenborough sure knows how to make a biopic! Robert Downey Jr was great but the Oscar couldn't go to anyone else than Al Pacino this year...

London, 75/100 - great movie, fantastic soundtrack and dialogues. Best Jason Statham's performance I've seen - he was both hilarious and heartbreaking.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom
....
Good! after all what I heard of it, I was expecting it to be more shocking. I mean dont get me wrong, some parts are sick (you should not decide to have a meal after this one, it will not work lol) but it isn't the most disturbing movie ever made as some people are trying to say. But a lot to think about nevertheless!
8/10

To Kill a Mockingbird - 8/10, nice, warm story, with wonderful performances by all actors

Monday from Hiroyuki Tanaka


A satiric black comedy from Japan. Original and sometimes really funny, but sometimes also a bit annoying. A nice little message as well against the use of weapons and laws in general but the message could have been a bit more subtile. Overall, not a masterpiece but I had fun watching it

And if you ever had a terrible hangover and a total loss of memory of the night before, this is the movie for you lol

7/10

+ Fish Tank --> 7/10 : There should be more women directors...

Aaa, Fish Tank - I was very surprised, 'cause I didn't expect such a great movie.
The same director made "The Road" - even better than Fish Tank (in my opinion).

Yesterday I saw "Domabaem (Love phobia) - a korean melodrama, it's a love story, but not a typical one, it has some very funny moments. But it's also sad.
7/10

Then I saw (again) "Krótki film o zabijaniu" (A Short Film About Killing) - First time I saw it few years ago, and it's still 10/10!

Four Lions ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341167/ ) - Very, very funny!

saw I love you Phillip Morris (2009) loved it!

don’t watch it though if you don’t like jim carrey movies

My August movie ration:

Taxandria 3/10
Interesting attempt at experimental production design ended in a very poor film.

Agora 4/10
Although there is no 'happy end', I still think it was historical kitsch.

Porco Rosso 5/10
I remain confused by the high IMDB user ratings for these sort of animation films. Kids see their first films and immediately think they are masterpieces?

The Golden Compass 5/10
Childish.

Alice in Wonderland 5/10
Very disappointing. I thought the CGI-environments looked like a mediocre computer game. And the lack of continuity of the book doesn't help to make the movie into a coherent story.

Gwai wik 6/10
Inspired to watch this by some great stills here on WTM. Great images indeed. Poor film.

The Ghost Writer 6/10
Nicely made thriller, but the ultimate message - the wife of the prime minister is an agent of the you know what - is preposterous. You keep hoping the plot will thicken, but Polanski is as straightforward as always.

Invictus 6/10
Not bad, but disappointingly predictable.

The Butterfly Effect 6/10
Switching from one parallel life to another never was so easy.

Antichrist 6/10
What to say? Very unpleasant film to watch. But certainly intense, disturbing and well made.

Kick-ass 6/10
Laughed my head off at Hit-Girl's first action scene, but over the whole not really memorable.

2012 7/10
Of course the film is total crap and an insult to our intelligence. Roland Emmerich should have been put away long ago for these offenses. Yet I enjoyed the hyperbolic, endless catastrophe of 2012. It's so ridiculous that it turns into (200 million dollar) camp.

Cold Souls 7/10
Nice, absurd theme (extracting souls from bodies), but I was never really moved by Giamatti's adventures.

A Serious Man 7/10
So the tornado is coming to kill the son of a man who lost his faith? I couldn't care less, with all these unsympathetic characters. Which leaves me with a film that has an overdose of sort of funny Jewish black humor.

Cargo 7/10
Effective science-fiction. Action limited to one ship, only a few characters, some suspense, one secret.

Nordwand 7/10
Great photography of the mountain climbing, but I think the story was lacking something. The journalist was a caricature, the Nazi-theme was underdeveloped, the climbing adventure was doomed from the beginning and the girl's role wasn't strong enough.

The Boat That Rocked 7/10
Entertaining. Loved Philip Seymour Hoffman's part.

In Bruges 7/10
Very fucking enjoyable comedy with some fucking great acting. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wall-E 8/10
I'm sorry, it's silly... but irresistibly cute as well.

The Squid and the Whale 8/10
Very entertaining story about people struggling with life (and family life in particular).

Where the Wild Things Are 8/10
Energetic and surprising. Although I liked the matter-of-factness with which the kid's fantasy world is depicted a lot, I think the island sequence isn't the best part of the film.

The Fantastic Mr Fox 9/10
After having seen this, I demand that all 'heist/explosion/wise-crack/Clooney-movies' are made as animations. They are so much more convincing and effective this way!

Adaptation 9/10
Had seen it in cinema in 2002, but watched it again to freshen my memory. Conceptually brilliant movie of the struggle in a screenwriter's mind.

Up in the Air 9/10
Starts as a decent satirical movie and turns into a great and subtle drama.

The Bothersome Man 10/10
A wonderfully simple yet layered film, to be interpreted in different ways. Are we in heaven, hell, or simply in Norway? Powerful images, superior irony. Funny, serious and melancholic. You may need to be into Nordic humor.

+ Valhalla Rising --> 1/10 I thought it would never end...

I was going to watch Vertigo but a shot was placed today and now I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while and hope to forget that shot. Waaaaaaaaaah. Isn't there a rule against spoilers?

+ MacGruber --> 5/10 As a huge fan of SNL I exepected a funnier comedy but oh well...
+ Killers --> 5/10 It wasn't THAT bad (4.4/10 on IMDb) plus Katherine Heigl has a huuuuge rack (I'd be an awesome critic in a classy newspaper wouldn't I ?)

Anyway all in all that was a boring evening...

+ Poltergeist --> 7/10 It's the first time I watch it (I'm a little ashamed lol) and I gotta say that's a great movie!

Robin Hood 60/100 - good movie, but as usual with Scott's movies could be better and shorter. Crowe was an awful choice for Robin, they should get someone at least a little attractive, I mean the movie is 150 minutes long and Crowe has an appearance of drunk hobo and he is just so...dull in the movie. But by the end of the film he somehow made it work, mostly because of Blanchett with whom he had nice chemistry. Lots of well known actors in the movie, but everything was pretty avarage, however this one is definetly better than "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Body of Lies".
I suspect most of the shots on WTM will come from very pretty ending credits of the movie :)
