Saw "Milk" at the cinema last night. A great, great film - van Sant's directed an engaging and touching film here, and Sean Penn does pretty damn well as the titular Harvey Milk...

PROBLEM CHILD - 8/10

Also: saw films 6, 7 and 8 of Kieslowski's "Dekalog - The Ten Commandments" series. Number 7 ("Thou shalt not steal") is particularly grim and depressing....good stuff all round, and recommended to those attuned to Warsaw Pact-era misery and gloom...

in the movie house-- in 3D


very good! the 3d glasses were annoying but this was a great show. if you liked the nightmare before christmas, same director, and i'm not sure it's a better story, but it's neil gaiman.

at home:

great fucking movie, meanders bizarrely a bit and you wonder "what the fuck is the plot?", and it comes to a sort of predictable end (it's neorrealism after all-- well, a neorrealism of sorts) but something keeps a hold of you during the whole thing, including the wonderful black and white cinematography.

this movie left me puzzled. i want to know more.

I love those "What If...?" comics.

I have "what if Punisher killed the Marvel Universe?"

Nice. I sort of think of Jason Goes To Hell in the same vein. I have a soft-spot for that one, too. Plus that tent scene is amazing!

double team

Jason X is a rollercoaster of a horror flick.



Murder Party (again)

Murder Party is my new best friend.

Oh shit, I didn't know this was out already. Must go see that.

and no love for IL GRIDO? your loss, ha ha.

oh buy yeah go watch CORALINE and go fast. i went early on a sunday before the churchy people landed on it. only problem is there were lots of kids on the place. the other option would be to go to a late show with no critters in the audience. but i like to pay matinee prices. matinees on a monday rule, except when you get an old fart who's eating his snot loudly throughout the movie. motherfucker, i'll kill you next time.

Il grido is great, although i've yet to meet anyone who said it was too short.

it wasnt too long... the guy wanders aimlessly and i often wondered "whats the fucking point?", but was nevertheless fascinated. i still can't understand exacly why, which intrigues me.

I watched Zebraman last night after hearing about it on this board. It was really great. I can not see though how people can call this a children's movie.

The first one is really, really good. Well written. Realistic. Creepy even. Not sure what happened after that.

Yeah, it's not a children's movie like The Great Yokai War is a children's movie but it's still pretty light hearted, silly stuff.

Brother 9/10

Critics didn't like this movie?

Half-baked

Child's Play 2 is my favorite in the series. Part 3 is a joke. Bride and Seed were both fucking hilarious.

2 is the military academy one, right? I don't remember 3. I pretty much hated all of the Chucky ones, though Seed was funny.
