Last movie watched...

What are you? Some sort of twee girly boy? Sunshine is ace.

One of my favourite movies full stop. Danny Boyle works magic in every genre he dips in.

And written by Alex Garland

I couldn't watch Eternal Sunshine - it was so self consciously quirky and pretentious and just made me cringe.
I had the same reaction to Donnie Darko.
They reminded me of a girl I knew at school who used to read books about dreams all the time.

+1 for not loving Eternal Sunshine.  Tried it a couple of times but could not get on with it.

Could watch Sunshine all day though.

Daybreakers.

Very interesting premise.

[spoiler]That vampire cure though? Dose em with water before they sunbathe and they turn human. What?[/spoiler]

[I, Cosh]

Been trying to do a decent write up of Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning for days now. Basically, it's amazing.

Today I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness - two-thirds of which was fun and the remainder utterly terrible - and The Place Beyond the Pines which was great but grim.

On the Sunshine front, Eternal... I've seen once and loved; straight up Sunshine is easily my favourite sci-fi film of the last ten years or so. Will need to give Little Miss a watch on the strength of this

So that would be prety much like Star Trek then. For every City on the Edge of Forever or Devil in the Dark, there is a Spock's Brain.

West is West.

Yes... it was okay.

Star Trek - Into Darkness.

Quite enjoyable. Cumberbatch was stellar, but he usually is.

Just watched this myself after taping it the other day. Willem Dafoe (my favourite actor and apparently The Bird's Eye Bear's voice) is great. Who wasn't excited when he recited Elvis Presley's Burning Love in this?
The whole cure is a bit odd, but did you think the whole experiment to do it again was off? Hawke made a point of being wet beforehand, Elvis wasn't.
But anyway, that's one taped Dafoe film down. I still have to find time for Mr Bean's Holiday, which I taped back in January...

Willem Dafoe ...The Bird's Eye Bear's voice is great.

that comment has just changed the dynamic of my whole day, don't know why, it just has.

saturdays film viewing

skyfall
enjoyable but still meh-worthy at times , got silly towards the end, with the old man (kincade?) and everything. sympathised alot with silva [spoiler]when he showed the effects of hydrogen cyanide on his face[/spoiler]
never quite as engaged as i was whilst watching casino royale or quantum of solace

hobbit:unexpected journey

really definitely enjoyable on par with LOTR trilogy besides age rating. really good. laughed alot at the british humour.(may have just been the accents though) seeing gollum again was terrific as expected.

tintin: secret of the unicorn

also enjoyed this one, humour and action although maybe too much action at times.best bit was the drooling/gurgling/giggling of captain haddock when he sees something with more than 1% alcohol in it .
still beats skyfall.

Buffy in a jumper tackles The Grudge while some one has an original idea to do a film about the mafia in Witness to the Mob.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Iron Man III was enjoyable enough. Ben Kingsley hams it up nicely, RDJ a little too much at times.

Stand Up Guys was great. It's the first time in a long time I can remember Al Pacino actually acting, instead of just intensely shouting. Christopher Walken is brilliant as always. There are lines that only work because it's Walken saying them. Nice ending too.

I caught this the other day and I was quite impressed with it.  Clearly, the budget did not meet its ambition as some of the effects let it down a bit but at least they tried to do something different with the vampire idea. 

I don't think the experiment was off - [spoiler]the only purpose of the water was to put out the flames, it was the sudden exposure to daylight which apparantly kick started their hearts back to life.[/spoiler]

[Link Prime]

Stand Up Guys was great. Nice ending too.

I absolutely loved that ending.

California Crisis: OVA with lovely, if occatioanly jumpy, style and an epicly 80's soundtrack. Worse way's to spend 50 minuets on a train.
