I've been watching some fascinating 'direct cinema', people who made films without a camera, drawing, painting etc onto celluloid. See Norman McLaren's 'Begone Dull Care', and 'Mothlight' by Stan Brakhage!

I watched Lords Of Dogtown yesterday. I love this film, so much. & it takes me back to being a teenager hanging around with the skaters.

Ethan Frome with Liam Neeson and Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead.

Finally saw Thor in preparing for the release of The Avengers on dvd in September.

^ I thought Thor was crap. I stopped watching it halfway through. What did you think of it?

I saw Mission Impossible 4 the other day. I think the third film is definitely the best one of the bunch.

Extremely predictable but at least it had some funny parts. I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise, but I was told I should see it before watching The Avengers to understand it better.

My mother said the same thing of Thor, she couldn't watch it all the way through.

 

[Digger]

Nolan's best I think...

I actually have a lot of questions about The Prestige that I would love to discuss but don't want to litter the thread with spoiler tags.

I might start another thread just to discuss this film.

 

[Rosie1]

^You should! I would join in. I need to watch the movie again, though.

 

[Digger]

Okay then, I will.

Watched Dolores Claiborne (1995) tonight. I love Kathy Bates and I love the atmosphere that the movie creates...

 

[Werewolf Girl]

I recently watched The Skin I Live In, it was really very disturbing...

Wow that movie has got to be really fucked up. I don't think I have ever heard you call any horror movie disturbing before.

 

[Werewolf Girl]

Wow that movie has got to be really ****ed up. I don't think I have ever heard you call any horror movie disturbing before.

Yeah, it kind of was... It was almost David Cronenbergish, a mixture of body horror and psychological thriller. It's not a gory movie or anything, it's the story and the characters that make it creepy. It definitely made me see Antonio Banderas in a new light.

I saw The Bourne Legacy today. It really wasn't as good as the first three films. Jeremy Renner doesn't seem like a leading man to me.

Watched Dolores Claiborne (1995) tonight. I love Kathy Bates and I love the atmosphere that the movie creates...

I think the best parts are the flashbacks; they have a real feeling of time and place to them. And I like the eclipse scene...

Yeah after I saw the trailer and read the description of the movie I knew it wasn't for me. I'm still recovering from some old school Cronenberg movies that seemed to be etched in my brain forever!

I recently watched Paul w/ Simon Pegg. I was surprised by all the cameos and the impressive cast list.
