Unfaithful
Not a new movie by any stretch of hte imagination but a really good one. It stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane. They are a couple living in the burbs with a child and they have what seems like the perfect little family, and a happy marriage.
This is till one day the wife Connie played by Lane stumbles into the gaze of Paul played by Olivier Martinez. She meets him one day while waiting for a taxi and becomes a wee bit obsessed with him. She decides to have a fling with him, but this is where the wee obsession goes completely mental. She can't seem to get enough of him. The very first time she makes love with him it would appear she's already climaxing long before they even make love. It's kind of obvious after he brushes her face while she sits on a counter at his place. Little brushes of her knee which is cut from a slip, little flashes of her face by the camera. But those moments its patently obvious what is going on.
He wraps his arms around her taking her to his bed and laying her down after this and she starts to do this jiggly shaking while they make out which I found a little odd and distracting. Despite her weak protests he manages to get what he wants out of her, the moment he tells her to HIT him as they kiss he knows he's got her in his grasp. On the way home from here she is crying on the tran, but also laughing, and crying, and it's a mixture of flashbacks to this first encounter and her guilt, her joy, and her pain. She knows she's hurt her marriage potentially but she can't go back.
The affair just goes mental. She's having coffee with girlfriends in one scene then in walks Paul (Martinez) and she ducks out the back to the toilet there and the two of them have a quickie almost within earshot of her girlfriends. it's not stated that all of the other friends are married but I find it funny how her other girlfriend says she drop onto her back in a heartbeat if he paid her any attention.
The movie isn't solely about the sex, though there is a reasonable amount of it. But it's a good study int he role of obsession and how sometimes obsession can take control of our lives. In particular Connie almost forgets to pick her son up from school at the cost of this affair. The husband does eventually find out about the fling and this leads to disaster for the lover. I won't say any more for to do that would really spoil a good movie, but the ending is very open as to what happens. When I wrote my comments for this on the IMDB I gave it a grand score of 6/10
I'd still reccomend it .

Gotta love Big Brother!
Have just been to see this with my daughter tonigt. Actually enjoyed it and she jumped a million times and there where times I didn't want to watch.
However the cinema had a big group of 14 and 15 year olds who talked and joked all thru the movie. It is hard to be scared when there is a teenage party going on. I left and complained to the security and then again to the ushers who came in three times but it didn't really do much good.
Demanded my $30 back and got it with an apology. I told them that in future they would be better of putting one of their staff 'in' the cinema to control the young kids.
Found out by the waitress at the pasta restuarant that we went to afterwards that a couple walked out twenty minutes in because of the group and demanded that their tickets be re-issued for a later session.
A home theatre is looking much better by the minute
Which saddens me but I reckon any movie that was geared towards the younger market you would get the same experience.I can't critique the movie because I spent much of the movie being distracted by the young idiots!

That is truly horrible when that happens.
Isn't this an MA movie so how did kids get in to begin with?

I actually do things like grabbing the foot that is kicking the back of my seat and firmly directing it to the floor, turning around and asking teens if they would keep it down, demanding that they turn their phones off, demanding ushers (if they can be found) to remove people who wont take a hint from the cinema (they typically won't, but the threat sometimes improves the offenders behavior)...
I have a theory that people who were born after VCRs came in, did not experience cinema as a child in the same way as people born before the VCR. For them, movies were employed as a form of baby-sitting in their own home, where it is quite appropriate to get up and run around and talk and answer the phone and so on. They have not been brought up to share public places with total strangers the way we used to, and all the new consumer technologies are geared to every person having their own personal whatever, rather than sharing a resource with the rest of the community (it being more profitable for the purveyors of the technology to sell every person a mobile phone, rather than sharing the radio spectrum; to have a computer for every child, a TV in every room etc.). They are also pretty clueless when it comes to things like table manners - if my childhood experience of dining out was McDonald's and Pizza Hut, I would probably think it was OK to eat with my hands, and that napkins are for mopping up spilled Coke, too. The etiquette of sharing appears to have been left behind with the bowline and the truckers hitch, as useful things that kids today don't seem to be taught.
One of the sad results is that you get teens in cinemas behaving the way we used to behave in primary school - not because they are arseholes, but because they don't realise that what is OK in the privacy of their own homes is different to what is OK in a shared public space. Usually, when I point out the difference to a teen, they either giggle nervously, or blush like they wish the ground would open up and swallow them and stop the problem behavior.
There have only been two times I got a nasty response - one was a guy in his early thirties who told me to shut the **** up he was on the phone (after he answered his phone), and the other - also a guy in his early thirties, just stared at me and said loudly and incredulously, "What?" and when I repeated "Would you turn your phone off?" repeated, even louder "What the **** are you going on about?" and then, when I asked again, rolled his eyes and broke eye contact like he was dealing with a complete moron - and continue to receive texts, and send them, and let the phone ring until he got around to rejecting the calls, as if everyone else in the cinema shared his astonishment at my effrontery (which from the small sighs and averted eyes of those around us, I really doubted was the case.)
I do pick my cinema/screening time/movie to minimise the need to confront strangers with the fact that their behavior is not acceptable to me. Like, when I went to "Smokin' Aces", I went to the city rather than the suburban BCC and it was the 5pm session rather than the 9pm one. I don't expect perfect silence, and when I go to G or PG rated movies (Austen adaptions excepted) I think it is reasonable to accept that some of the other patrons might crawl under my seat, spill their popcorn, and cry.
It seems a pity that kids that are (when you let them know) so obliging and considerate, did not know they were behaving like a complete arsehole until a total stranger turned around and told them off, but better late than never.

Expectations are everything. When I was a kid, most of the films I saw were within large groups - video nights and such. I somehow had the ability to totally zone into the film and ignore all other distractions. Even recently - movie nights at hostels and such while traveling - totally able to ignore everything but the film.
But if I'm paying money to see a film, I become hypersensitive to any kind of noise. Even some poor chump munching his Twisties two rows back gets my goat. Rowdy teenagers though, especially a mix of boys and girls...woah. No respect for their elders whatsoever, and impossible to reason with.

OK I'm done with the movies for this year, it's all shit again. I haven't been to cinema until August and now seen X-Files, The Strangers, The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia!
I loved them all for different reasons.

Baby Mama - I found this movie funny, and it had a few twists I didn't expect and that thankfully weren't ruined by the trailer.
The Strangers - A freaky movie, quite decent...not the best horror I've seen, but still alright.

"The Strangers" - that was some scary shite! It comes thoroughly recommended. Very very good.
Between jumping out of my seat, and chuckling to the Johnny Cash style soundtrack, I had a whale of a time.
I may go and see it again tomorrow.

It's good to be back. 
I've had to recover from "an incident" where I suffered a few injuries.

Lovely to see you too, Pawlini.
I watched Gone Baby Gone last night, it was excellent. Ben Affleck directed his brother (Casey) and I agree with all those reviewers who say Ben should stay behind the camera. Great movie, really good acting from some diverse characters. It's basically about a missing little girl, but really so much more.

The Car
OMG This is 70s kitsch...... From the 70s clothes to the music..... But it's fun.
The story of a big black car which terrorizes a small town in midwest USA. If you think you've seen this car before you might have. They did a near perfect copy of it in Futurama when Bender became this car..... But the movie is gold. It's fun...
The car opens with this scene of the desert and you see dust blowing down a road and this is the car heading on its evil way. Some classic scenes include a schoolteacher leading a parade and as they hear the car approach she rushes them up out of the way just as the car jumps through a stand and tried to run them down. They get into this cemetery and the car won't go in there so the teacher taunts it, yells at it, and throws thngs at it...
Another scene has the car facing off against two cop cars but rather then outrun them it turns then does this fantastic barrell roll over the cop cars to kill the cops......
But it's a great movie....... 70s fun.
