A few films recently watched.

aw come on escape from la was hilarious. sort of like a parody of the first one.

inception - it was ok, nice escher-like visuals, likeable characters, good performances but overall it wasn't deep enough

salt - i love angelina jolie, i would pay to watch her read the phone book, needed more nudity though (there was none)

io sono l'amore - very slow to start, i couldn't sit through more than 25 min. of this, also the only other people in the auditorium were talking over it

The Ghost Writer - Awesome. So much fun...loved it. It's a shame there aren't more films like this being made. Maybe that's because I love mysteries. I'd like to see Shadow of the Wind get a good Polanski-style treatment.

Vanilla Sky 7/10

We agree quite often, honey. You just get all pissy and forget that when we disagree.

ahhh, I feel better now sweetie. You don't call me honey that much anymore.

Inception

8/10 - great visuals, great music and an amazing concept. I dont think Ellen Page was right for the role of Ariadne though. She just had this dead-pan look in all of her scenes which was irritating.

FAP !

now that's a great 'shop!!

I saw that "The Mist" movie based on a Stephen King story on tv (German), it scared me a little. First I thought it would be more subtle so I was initially disappointed, but the way it turned out it was really kind of horrible cause there was so much stuff and all so exaggerated. Plus the ending was neat. Pretty watchable all in all!

entertaining, 6.9/10

watched Old Boy for the 2nd or 3rd time, still as brilliant as the first. the last 30 minutes or so are incredible.

A Bittersweet Life - 6/10

There were some great fights, great shoot out scenes, and great car chases but the story was quite boring. I was expecting more twists and turns from thisi Korean movie since it got a 7,9 on IMDB.com because that's right around what Madeo, Memories of Murder and The Chaser gets.

the ghost writer - really engrossing. probably my favorite movie i've seen this year.

really? I've tried watching it twice and I keep falling asleep half way through. I will definitely finish it tonight if I don't fall asleep again (haven't been getting much sleep at all though in its defense)

Donnie Brasco - 8/10 fah' geht about it, good 70s mafia movie for sure. Not incredible but really good.

Fuck yeah, mine easily. Such a goddamn well-made film. The ending was so utterly lol/brilliant. Also worth noting: best role for McGregor in over a decade.

Seraphine - 7.5/10

JCVD 4/10

huh well. huh right? huh hhhhmmmm huh! huh huh hur

Mean streets 8/10
