The Last Film You Saw....

[House]

Saw The Brave One a couple of nights ago, it's sort of like Death Wish except Jodie Foster is Charles Bronson and she's a bit more upset with herself for becoming a killer, except she isn't that appalled to like, stop killing people.

 

Very good, if a bit on the brutal side in places, and somewhat morally ambiguous.

Watched Shoot 'Em Up last night, which is about the most mental film I've ever seen.

 

Part of me was thinking 'I really shouldn't be enjoying this' but I couldn't help myself, Mrs House nearly pissed herself laughing at the shooting+shagging sequence.

 

There is kind of a point in there too, although I'm not entirely sure what it is yet.

I watched Chapter 27 last night and was more than pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

'The Mist' is tonight's entry - I really don't want to do any spoilers, so I'll simply recommend that folks seek out this unusually good film for themselves.

Off work ill today so re-watched Fight Club - had forgotten how good it was and it's given me a strong urge to re-watch se7en.

Have now watched, through lack of anything else on, The Break Up. It's not nearly as funny as I expected, but is a hell of a lot better film than I thought it would be.

[oogie boogie]

watched Switchblade Romance the other night. rather good French psychological horror type film. good twist at the end and a shot of a french teenage girl in the shower

Watched 'The Mist' a couple of nights ago, which despite sounding very much like a crappy B movie, is actually a seriously good film - directed by the dude who did Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

 

The CGI could be better (it was made for fuck all money) - but the strength of the story and the characters mean it really doesn't matter.

 

Won't do any spoilers as such but I'll play safe anyway - don't go expecting any nice Hollywood endings, as Mrs House said, it feels like being punched in the stomach.

I caught "Election" on Sky Movies Indie or whatever it calls itself nowadays the other night :- IMDb link. It really wasn't what I was expecting and I was more than pleasantly surprised by it.

 

Well worth sticking on the Sky + planner for a rainy day.

Good luck chuck on dvd.

Absolutely p1ssed my pants laughing at it. Its very blokey crude humour. So was perfect for me

Watched Blood diamond tonight, cracking film i thought. Although Leonardo played a good role but trying to pass him off as a hardman was a bit much. Great story though and worth a watch.

[Dames Aflame]

Finally got around to seeing 'Bottle Rocket' and wasn't disappointed. Any Owen Wilson fans out there? Anyone like Wes Anderson's 'Rushmore'? Its written by Wes and Owen and directorial debut for Wes. Give it a go

[Mission]

I Am Legend.

 

Film itself was watchable, although not great but the ending truly sucked.

 

Definitely a case where an extra 30 minutes or so could have helped.

I recently revisited An American Werewolf in London. Man, that's aged badly.

[Pale Rider]

2 films I have seen recently.

 

The Wind That Shakes The Barley. Wasn't sure if I would be into it, about the history of Irelands struggles set in the 20's. I really enjoyed it, although in the nature of the thing it is quite graphic.

 

The Terminal. Tom Hanks as the foreigner stranded in New York airport because his country underwent a coup while he was in the air, and when he landed in the USA his country didn't exist. Quite light hearted and funny.
