Rashomon

I'm yet to be convinced of the merits of this film.

The Ghost and the Darkness.

Val Kilmer is terrible.  Michael Douglas is unbelievably annoying.  A great true story's premise is stretched thin with Hollywood cliches.

Do you like Kurosawa's other stuff? Rashomon is probably my least favorite of the films of his that I've watched, but I still thought it was enjoyable.

I much, much preferred Ran and Throne of Blood. I've only seen the first half of The Seven Samurai but I didn't really like it all that much - it is one of those films which has simply been borrowed from far too much to have much punch any more (at least for me) and it reminded me alot of those old children serials/bad fantasy novels which I didn't think were much good in the first place. But will have to catch up with the whole thing eventually.

That's all of his that I've seen. Interested in seeing Ikiru and High and Low but tbh from what I've seen he only moderately interests me. Great Camera work though.

The "I Am the Walrus" part is pretty cool though.

That was my favourite sequence! I also didn't mind the Death Cab for Cutie number (due to its seediness); the marathon and Ringo drunk. That said, while Blue Jay Way, in my opinion is one of the best off the LP, its sequence with George was terrible. He didn't even sync with the song!

This is the band who does "Death Cab for Cutie".

And of course Death Cab For Cutie (the band) took their name from the song.

And I never knew. I had been wondering that.

The Brothers Bloom

Is this proof that there is now a "Wes Anderson" genre? In parts it is kind of fascinating and I do have sympathy with the ideas (quite strong sympathy in fact) running through the film but the problem is... it is just too wacky for it's own good and thus becomes extraordinarily annoying in places. Some strong parts but in the end mediorce at best. A Disappointment after Brick

Mission to Mars (2000)

What I donīt get is why this sandstorm which increasingly looked like an alien-created tornado in the shape of a mouth "chased" the astronauts after they discovered the alien face on top of the Mars mountain ...

I mean if these aliens created the humans by leaving DNA on the Earth after they abandoned Mars, why would they create a tornado-like sandstorm that is killing their "seed" or "children" ?

Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom

One of the libertines looked almost exactly like Gerard Butler.

The 24th Day. Not exactly a well known movie judging from the length of it's Wikipedia article, but it was pretty compelling.

Toy Story 3

It seemed a bit too similar to Toy Story 2 in some parts, but it was nonetheless excellent. Rather darker, too, much like all of Pixar's work from WALL-E on.

The video game was rather epic.

The Crazies. Not a bad horror movie. I like the absence of humor in it.

Toy Story 3 - amazing beyond words.  It made me cry at the end, but it was still incredible.  I like the other two better, but this was still a 9.9/10.

Evangelion 2.22  Brilliant piece of anime.  Great film and very confusing.

I've just seen three. Rock Haven, The Mudge Boy and Paulie. All enjoyable. I've seen the latter one before, but a long time ago.
