man I love this film, and then *OH FUCK WHAT SHITTY DAY FOR NIGHT SHOOTING, MY EYEEEEESSSSS!!!*

Yeah, that particular bugaboo bit a few legendary photographers back in the day...Zsigmond, Wexler, Hall to name a few. It's a shame really, but film stock simply wasn't fast enough until what, late 80s / early 90s?

haha lol totally agree. The canoe seen when ronny cox falls out is one of the most intense things I've ever watched on film.

nah, i've seen it a couple times.

last time i've seen it was the best, the thing comes together JUST RIGHT

wannebe big-gun suckers need to take lessons in pacing from that film

Finally watched Nausica Valley of the Wind: 10/10.

garden state - so i figured it's tme to watch a movie about people my age (mid 20s). and it starts out great, like woody allen meets lonesome jim (the movie), but kinda falls into clishes after 45 minutes. plus, i know this was braffs baby,but he's not much of an actor. it felt like a depressing scrubs episode at times. still - pretty good, with decent soundtrack, etc. kinda get the hype etc

sherlock holmes 2 - bollocks/10

I thought it was really boring as well. I remember thinking the first Sherlock was at least mildly entertaining.

Yeah at least it was paced in a way that it felt like something was happening for some reason or other. Even if that something was pathetic arseleavings.

written and directed by the same man whom wrote the comics....and he is a god, so yeah, it is pretty good, bordering on the best animated film ever made, other than some of the others that he has made.

I'm going to buy a farm in the Chinese countryside and raise my as-yet-unborn-kids on Miyazaki films. You think I'm joking...

i'm going to buy a farm in the midwest and raise my unborn-as-far-as-i-know-kids on grave of the fireflies. they will never be fat. ever.

hahaha, bravo!

Ha, nor will they ever be happy.

totoro makes the wind blow

Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai

Shit yeah.

Lake Mungo - In a just world this would have been far more popular than Paranormal Activity.

LOL ZAPHOD

Avengers - even though I thought the other Marvel films have been entertaining and pretty at best the wait has certainly paid off for the sheer awesomeness of this film which is better that all of them put together. Marvel have done well to finally take comic legends well into the cinema medium and beyond with a storyline well matched by the action sequences that put Micheal Bay well into a coffin. 15/10

The Cabin in the Woods - 10.000 moneys/10

was Deliverance a fluke for Boorman? Almost every film i've seen of his falls short of the mark of quality left by Deliverance. Zardoz is pretty interesting, and definitely weird but i wouldn't even call it a good scifi movie.

oh man zardoz is some high grade dookie

dammit, sean

I don't know if I'd rate it above Deliverance but The General was pretty good.
