The Red Balloon
Absolutely gorgeous film that kind of made me tear up a bit. Kinda crazy how a relationship between a boy and a balloon can do that to you but yeah.

Rat Race
Oh I love this movie and saw it cheap so grabbed it. Laughed myself stupid ... Rown Atkinson playing a narcaleptic race contestant.... Was so funny. There were lots of funny moments throughout the movie and yeah the best way to spend 100 minutes and have a laugh.
I rate it 7/10

It's a total rip off of It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World but I agree, it's great fun. I haven't seen it in quite a few years. I'd like to buy the DVD but it's quite hard to find.

I agree and I haven't seem "it's a mad, mad, mad, mad, world in ages too.. I think way back in the days of drive ins I remember seeing that as a youngster.

17 Again 7/10 i loved this movie and i didn't think i would the LOTR references made me giddy since im such a LOTR fangirl and i genuinely laughed out loud a lot of times and i didn't expect it at all.
Watchmen 7/10 it stayed true to the comics which i am a big fan of but it was perhaps too mechanical of a film i couldn't relate to anyone except Rorshach who was phenomenal but perhaps it was telling me a story without really immersing me into it and some of the people they chose for roles were hit and miss.

Exactly these aren't really my type of movies but i thought i'd see it for the sake of seeing it (silly reasoning i know) but i was really surprised how great it was! The comedy was just....some of the funniest ive seen in film for a long time very very unexpected and Zac Efron is a great actor and i'm not ashamed to say it!
1) "Surrogates" (Bruce Willis). Was ok, but as I already deem our lives on earth to essentially consist of genderless souls driving around gendered flesh for around "3 score and 10" (70) years, it was all a bit recursive.
I had to LOL at the bit where a "Frank the Boilermaker" was driving a female "DA" model so he could get some action with a male surry (who coulda been a female for all he knew).
Also, the beauty parlour for surries was an excellent bit of irony if not satire.
2) "Charlie & Boots" (Paul Hogan and the guy who played Kenny)
Loved it. Simple and easy good clean fun that makes one think of better days. If you go see it, make sure you stay until the end of the credits for a particular "irony" (pardon the pun). Oh, except I suspect many young folk won't get it ... in which case they will need to head to google when they get home.

What about the ending how stupid was that?
The guy that invents surrogates and basically...............
he can't lock the door to finish his plan
This is just the Geek version of second life with cybernetics....

Currently spending this Sabbath Day watching Defiance while trinke Ouzo and coke and eating french loaf bread, salami and cheese with LSCP.
Inspiring stuff, but also the sobering reminder that when the AGW environmentalist religionists and their fellow travellers finally get their way and terrible revolution, it won't just be the official authorities who will be feared, but also one's very neighbors, work mates, and social acquaintance, etc.
The movie reminded me that given opportunity, bullies will soon float to the surface to do what they do best and to the detriment of decency and community.
Even within this very forum community I can think of at least half a dozen folk who would flourish (as bullies and ignoble dogmatically driven idealists suffering from delusions of entitlement) in such an environment, and a few more who wouldn't say boo to any of it out of either ignorance, fear and/or selfishness.
Ah well ... at least where there's a shadow, there's a light. Tis all part of the sorting process too.

I fell asleep watching Defiance the other night.
Saw Inglorious Basterds yesterday and loved it, engrossing story well acted and funny as. Last night watched Blindness with Julianne Moore, a great actress who made a bad bad choice to be in this film - it was shite. Interesting concept - some disease makes everyone but her blind - but really bad movie, big gaping plot holes, the main one being that going blind wouldn't make you as stupid as these characters.

So did LSCP (so I left the DVD credits music looping to help her stay that way while I caught up with some stuff online
) ... so she's watching the 2nd half today. regarDS

"Man of the Year" on DVD
Not to be confused with a gay movie I saw 10 years or so ago about a male model for PlayGirl who was queer.......this movie had the much more safely unattractive Robin Williams as a Jay Leno type TV character, who runs for President.
What follows is part thriller part comedy, and a lot of it strikes a fairly non believable note. Christopher Walker did a good job and Laura Linney, and Robin Williams was pretty funny as usual with rapid fire one liners and soliloquays, this time with a contemporary political flavour.
There was one "jump out of bed" moment with a surprise, but I won't give a spoiler.
Imagine "Good Morning Vietnam" meets "West Wing" type political drama. 6/10

It's a shame this movie didn't get made in the direction originally intended.
I have not seen it, but originally it was offered to Howard Stern as a vehicle. Stern wanted to be involved in rewriting the script to taylor more to his style and real life persona, but ultimately just didn't have the time to be involved in the film. Could have been something special.

You're right, the gay "Man of the Year" was much more fun, but hard to compare because the subject matter is chalk and cheese. Robin Williams is always funny though.
I haven't been to the cinema for about 6 weeks, since I saw "Public Enemies", because it's mostly shite at the moment. "Final Destination" might be worth a look though.

"Twilight" on DVD with LSCP.
It seemed to go on forever. So, vampires R our friends now, providing they eat bunnie rabits instead of us ?
Still, I'm looking forward to The Wolf aspects of it all.
I asked numba1son what he and his school mates thought of it (presuming they would all be into a teenage angst movie, and that I would have something new to relate to him about) and his reply was "I AM NOT A TWI-FAG! I AM NEVER GOING TO WATCH IT AND JUST HAVING SOME OF THE BOOK READ TO ME WAS BAD ENOUGH. IT IS A TOTALLY GIRL MOVIE AND TOTALLY URRGGHH MEH MEH MEH", or words to that nature.
Ooops, wrong question to wrong person. Sheesh, I thought pale-skin freaks would appeal to computer nerdy geek types such as he !
He then went on to say that the book reads like "the skin was pure and smooth and finger nails so perfect ... and then a girl walked into the room, and she looked ok too"
Which kinda correlates with what LSCP said during the movie, ie "she's almost got as much lip-stick on as he does".
Still, there was some nice scenery and I'll prolly watch the other two movies when they get to DVD ... but that's only coz I'm more into chick-flicks and prone to shedding tears during the same than LSCP is.
