this has always been one of my favourites and watched it yesterday. derek jarman did a lot of the sets and art direction which is also a plus.

Yeah, I've gone to see the play every year for the past 20 or so years. And I've read the book, and seen countless film versions. So I really know the story (and dialogue) well. And yet, I loved this version of it. Fantastic.

He did a great job. Though I could tell his voice in the Ghost of Christmas Present. Not the others. But his face was very obvious in the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Anyway, highly recommended, especially if you can see in in 3D.

I basically forced myself to finish it on the grounds that it's a film I kind of need to have a legitimately formed opinion on, but that was pretty much my gut reaction, and I ended up wishing I'd gone with it...

The original Robocop is outstanding, it's a shame that the sequels are such piss.

I finally got a chance to see it, and man, oh man, was it a blast! I had such high hopes going into this, and was not let down in any way. I can't believe I've let Henenlotter's wor escape me for so long. This, and Frankenhooker, had been on my list of "flicks to see" far longer than they should've been.

How do the sequels hold up to the original?

Well, the original is the best, but anything by Frank H is gold. If you haven't seen Brain Damage or Frankenhooker yet, see those next. Seriously. Both completely brilliant.

All Henenlotter rules, Brain Damage is the best though.

co-sign. Almer is the shit.

school for scoundrels and the breakfast club. both good imo.

I'm now anticipating the Avatar movie by James Cameron

AMAZING! Review here.

Resnais, Night + Fog. Not sure if it counts as a "movie". Fucking unforgettable.

I'm not.

Aliens was good, but I gave up on him ever since Titanic - the most over-rated film ever.

James Cameron is still directing films?

*edit* Just looked up this trailer, looks terrible. God, cinema is awful nowadays. The only interesting looking mainstream film to come out all year, BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS, didn't play in any local theaters because they had to make room for 4 screenings of whatever the fuck Twilight is.

The sad thing is, he's supposedly been working on this 'Avatar' garbage for over a decade.

*sigh*

As someone who goes completely gaga for Herzog, and has for years been that one guy in the room who counters mocking of Nicholas Cage with cries of "but he used to be fantastic!", Bad Lieutenant looks amazing! So psyched to see it. That and A Serious Man are basically all I'm anticipating.

Kind of like a finnish Mad Max with HEAWY MEDAL MUSIK YEAH

I hope you're being sarcastic.
