Great movie, it should be released in Black and White. <BR/><BR/>"Caddyshack" is hilarious, loosen your bullets and relax.<BR/><BR/>"Casino Royal" circa 1967, w/Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, David Niven and many more. Hilarious and expensive romp. Great art in costume and sets.<BR/><BR/>"Forbidden Zone" strangest 45 minutes you'll ever see. Great music (pre-forties stuff and Oingo Boingo music.)Al Jazeerah English Editionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601687306881883524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904058.post-62715303840019016862008-07-16T12:15:00.000+01:002008-07-16T12:15:00.000+01:00Hi, Steve.

I doubt if a kid would appreciate some of the subtlety, but there are a lot of cool things in it, including a giant. <BR/><BR/>Sorry, Rachel - but I loved everything about Dogma. Clerks was amazing considering it was filmed using Kevin Smith's credit card with a $5k limit. I think a lot of the gags may require an American and/or perverse sense of humour to fully appreciate. And the Coen brothers are like licorice - you either like them or you don't. <BR/><BR/>As for Love Actually, it is what it is - a light-hearted romantic comedy that bounces quickly and beautifully from one miserable lot to the next. It makes a great holiday film when even depressives need to let go and feel uplifted. The only pairing I couldn't really buy was the young prime minister and his tea lady but there were still many great lines. My favourite 'couple' was Bill Nighy and Gregor Fisher. We seem to work "Ant and/or Dec" into the conversation at least once a month.Carrie Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200797035059634760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904058.post-43107605030605276682008-07-01T14:41:00.000+01:002008-07-01T14:41:00.000+01:00OK - Xmas and you're Irish...I'll let you off. And...OK - Xmas and you're Irish...I'll let you off. And yes, Emma Thompson is great...her scenes were the only bits I could stomach.

(Re: Love Actually):<BR/><BR/>I really like the human elements - Gregor Fisher and Bill Nighy-The-Pop-Star get together for the Christmas - Emma Thompson's quiet heartbreak and resilience in the face of her happy children, Alan Rickman's 'silly old fool' husband. Emmm... Keira Knightley ('bit cute, her).<BR/><BR/>I didn't love it all (actually) but I went to see it quite close to Christmas time when it first came out and I did enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>I think Curtis is quite a funny guy. Having said that, if he did 'Chocolate-Box-Ireland' in the way he does 'Chocolate-Box-Great-Britain' then I'm sure I'd detest it.Ken Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775956557261111127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904058.post-8288422766951006542008-07-01T09:34:00.000+01:002008-07-01T09:34:00.000+01:00I see you Ken, I see you!I tried to watch 'Clerks'...I see you Ken, I see you!<BR/><BR/>I tried to watch 'Clerks'...expected to love it but just couldn't get into it. Humour is just so tricky...you can't fake finding something funny! Same with another of his films 'Dogma' which was just so in need of editing..or rethinking...it was painful. But then I watched that film about how US movies get their certificates ('This film is not yet rated' by Kirkby Dick - excellent documentary by the way) and Kevin Smith talked a lot of sense...I think I like his ideas more than his finished films.<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit the same with the Coen Brothers. I want to like their films but a lot of them leave me cold. I liked 'Barton Fink' and 'Oh Brother' but I slept through 'Fargo'!<BR/><BR/>Wish I'd slept through you-know-what...what do you all like about it?

I listen to Kevin Smith's 'Smodcast' every week (downloadable free on itunes) It's very funny, highly, highly irreverent but with a curious moral grounding behind it all.<BR/><BR/>Big Fish: haven't seen - it's on the list, it is suitable for 12 year old?<BR/><BR/>Love Actually: It *is * good isn't it? Em... Rachel doesn't come here, does she? (looks up) oh no...<BR/><BR/>This film could slot into a number of these categories. I expect to watch it a few more times.<BR/><BR/>The Ox-Bow Incident: Tom Waits ofter references it, so that's good.<BR/><BR/>Truly, Madly, Deeply: Yes, very good.<BR/><BR/>Blue Velvet: I liked it but I think I was 'a bit up my own arse' at the time.<BR/><BR/>Medicine Man: Dear oh Dear... I liked whatsername, from the Sopranos and Goodfellas, she was in Ridley Scott's 'Someone to Watch over Me' as well.<BR/><BR/>Giuseppe Tornatore's Un pure formalité : Now *this* I will get - thanks for a valuable recommendation!<BR/><BR/>I prefer Jim's 'Connery' picture, more 'alluring'.Ken Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775956557261111127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904058.post-68450177231835007622008-06-30T12:54:00.000+01:002008-06-30T12:54:00.000+01:00It's his voice for me.

I'm just not going to mention 'Love Actually'...but I loved 'Truly, madly, deeply'. Alan Rickman - what a guy!<BR/><BR/>Your the second person I've seen put 'Blue Nonsense' in the why-the-hype category and I'm with you on 'Dogville' too...that bit when she's in the house..well, you know the bit. <BR/><BR/>Will try and get your favourite film from lovefilm some time soon.<BR/>xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.com
