Tonight I think I'll watch either BRIEF ENCOUNTER or SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS. Anyone a fan of either one?

Johnny, you give a fookin aspirin a headache!
The thing giving me a headache is the disc i rented.it freezes at 47 mins.just when the girl starts putting her sexy undies on.wouldn`t have anything to do with the previous person who rented it pressing the pause button and frame by frame advance now would it?
Layer Cake.Finally saw it.Enjoyed it more the second time because the first i found myself not in the mood for drug gangs and clowns like The Duke.Good use of She Sells Sanctuary in one of the early scenes.
A Matter of life or death, with David Niven on TV yesterday afternoon, strange film, the sort of thing the BBC used to show on dismal wet sunday afternoon's when i was a kid, I dont think i've seen it since i was a kid and i remember it kind of spooked me then, That staircase and the way the world was in colour but heaven was black and white.
The punisher (2004 version) don't think i'll be watching the punisher 2 when it comes out lets put it that way
yes - great film broken flowers - boring pump up the volume - random 80's movie palindromes - very funny last house on the left - filmmaking at its worst

others i've seen were "a lot like love" which i liked. hmmm layer cake which was really good and re-watched 8 men out
the machinist was a great movie. i guess the big debate over that movie is whether he was still alive, but delusional. or, he was dead and living in purgatory!!!

Why didn't you like LAST HOUSE? I don't like it, but I don't think it's TERRIBLE. It's actually based on a Bergman film (THE VIRGIN SPRING). But you probably knew that already! 
i watched the ring 2 this afternoon. it had some creepy parts, but paled in comparison to the original and the original. as expected.
King Arthur.Enjoyed it,tho not too sure of its historical accuracy,with all the Romans featuring so heavily..Good film entertainment wise.Not a lot of films appeal to me,so i don't watch too many nowadays.Star wars and Lord of the Rings not withstanding,plus a few others, most American movies bore the shit out of me,with recycled bollox stories

Yeah, I knew about the Bergman connection, but it still doesn't redeem the movie. It was simply a technically inept film that wasn't campy enough to entertain and wasn't extreme enough to shock me. Both Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham went on to better things...and thank god for that. Then again, The Hills Have Eyes wasn't much better. If I want a notable rape-revenge movie that really shocks me and prods me into thought instead of boredom, I'll reach for I Spit On Your Grave or Irreversible.
Put my old video of Eraserhead on again recently.Always good for a chuckle that one.
"well Henry wadya know?!"
"oh, not much"
Depends on your sense of humour i guess.

Ooh, Johnny dear, you gotta try harder!
Just saw Flight Plan. It was ok, not great, just ok. Poor Jodie Foster, she's always a victim: thinks daughther disappears on a plane, or house gets broken into, or gets raped on pinball machine, or has to kiss Richard Gere. Poor girl.
Barbarella!!! wow... with a hardass body Jane Fonda and a speaking Marcel Marceau trying to be funny
what a silly bit of bullshit, kinda soft core porn half-assed sci-fi parody from the late 60s...
i think it was suppossed to be sexy and a smart-ass patronizingly "we know its stupid so that is what makes us smart, are not we clever!", an almost nonsense screenplay. a perfect example of writers parodying something they know little about, but it is very different which makes it cool in some ways... visually very bizarre and unique, worth seeing once.
and now i know where the names Matmos and Duran duran came from... thou why Duran Duran choose that name, i still don't know, maybe they liked the hairstyles from the film
and i think the planet from the rather crappy film Mom and Dad Save the Universe (or whatever it was called) was inspired by Barbarella
Watched two films over the weekend.
Seed Of Chucky. So bad its funny.
Dogville. What the fuck was that about? Dogshite more like.

It's pretty minimalistic, but I thought it was bordering genius. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Manderlay, the second film in Lars Von Trier's trilogy about America. And Ron Howard's daughter, who was good in the Village, is Grace this time.
Any other Von Trier fans on NOOL?
Troy..I don't reckon Brad is as hard as he makes out in the film,but it was ok and great battle scenes,Pitt cannot swordsman aswell as Julian Clary nevermind Achilies 
.And there is no intentional metephor in there 
SLC Punk- 'you see life's like that. we change, that's all. you see, the guy i am now isn't the guy i was then. if the guy i was then met the guy i am now he'd beat the sh*t outta me. those are the facts.'
