many people think it was all in his head because of the ending, which is not the case, and which the book is apparently more clear about

 

 

i was one of the confused people

 

but yeah good movie, 4/5

 

i watched it again, never read the book, and like many people i guess, i'm not quite sure i understood the ending:

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

the first time i watched it, it was clear for me that the guy is schizophrenic and nothing happened, it was all in his head. but is that what the book says? does the book say clearly that nothing happened or can it be interpreted differently?

 

The.Adventures.Of.Baron.Munchausen AMAZON/10

just watched Brotherhood of the Wolf (french film). Slightly ridiculous but entertaning enough. Not sure what to give it out of 10, proberbly a healthy 6.5.

The stupid, endless predictable fighting scenes got a bit much in the end.

boogie nights - someone mentioned the great performance of marky mark on this movie but i though it was a bit dull/but john c reilly was fantastic as always

Black Swan 8/10

i'd agree

Started watching Freaks and Geeks again. Not sure how people here feel about it. I had seen and enjoyed it back when it was broadcast in the UK 9-10 years ago. Watching now it's better than I remembered but fuck, at the end of each episode I'm feeling incredibly depressed.

me too. cause it's all school related drama. i'm not saying school was shit for me but it wasn't all great.

jesse james is a good film but i absolutely hate the narration. it basically knocks it down from great to merely good.

lol, oh shit, John C Reilly was in that film! I completely forgot

everyone was great in that flick, I really liked philip seymour hoffman in that, one of the few films where he's seemed touching rather than smug...

sherlock (bbc modern day reboot thingy) 8/10

first episode was good but the crime/mystery/serial killer cabbie was lame and simple. better than the hollywood reboot anyways. looking forward to more.

The second installment is nearly unwatchable.

Freaks and Geeks had one of the worst pilots, but went on to be probably one of the top three television shows ever produced.

The narration was genius. It suited the film's subversion of wild west mythmaking perfectly as it sounded like the equivalent of 19th century American tabloids / dime novels.

picked up Stop Making Sense on bluray

10/10, best concert video ever

Blow-Up-9/10 Because it looks great and Hemmings was cool back then.

If- 10/10 Anyone who has never seen it should do so,at least once.

it definetely has faults. and you see them in all stephen moffat shows (does he write everything on british tv?). dunno ifyou got to episode3 but moriaty is fucking ridiculous.

things i like about sherlock:

- sherlocks deductions when he reels off how he worked out something

- the humour

- the relationship with watson, the flat, the landlady, the way they take cabs everywhere

things i don'tlike

- overly dramatic crimes/bad guys

- cringy writing

- martin freeman's watson is a doctor? and a tough guy? haha sure

- moriaty

jekyl had similar problems. infact i never did finish that as Michelle Ryan wasn't the main character as i kinda hoped and instead that ugly bird from coupling was in it way too much

me and orsen welles 3/10

what the fuck happened to richard linklaters career. seriously?

i watched this out of pure curiousity about why linklater directed it.

afterwards i remembered that he also made bad news bears and i probably should have learned my lesson there.

as a film it was terrible. watchable but bad. really bad casting. clare danes as the one you're meant to be lusting after haha. they had to make the realistic girl really ugly/quirky so she wouldnt be more attractive than danes.

the only good thing about it was orsen. would have been better as a biopic of him.

zac efron was way out of his depth

3/10 is kind but i could see my mother enjoying the romance aspect a little

it seems like the sort of film you do when trying to fund another smaller film, but what else is linklater working on? oh maybe this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1065073/

Yeah, I agree with everything you said about Sherlock. Speaking of Nesbitt (whom I adore), I stopped watching Murphy's Law for more or less the same reasons as above...cringeworthy writing and some horribly shit ensemble cast members.

I saw that someone earlier in this thread watched Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams" so I watched it too, and it is so beautiful. I love the Peach Orchard, the dance and music and imagery had me in bits for some reason.

it sounded like a nature documentary on pbs. it was fucking terrible.

can't say i ever saw murphy law. seem like something my mom would watch (on sunday at 9pm) but then again she'd probably love sherlock too.

he was in cold feet right?
