Recent Good Films

French

La diner de cons , I found hilarious.

However in the light of recent event s in France it does trivialise some deep seated prejudices within french society, and the more politically correct (Therefore no memebers of this board should have to worry) may find it a bit offensive

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" was funny Harry "Cronic" Jnr and Val kilmer star. Its a Hollywood Crime caper.

French film "The Beat That My Heart Skipped" is a good thug with a passion for piano playing type movie.

"Murderball" was an interesting doc, the wheelchair rugby internationals.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was naff.

"Factotum" was boring, given that I am a Charles Bukowski fan it was disappointing.

Well not recent but I watched Brat and Brat 2 (Brat = Brother) last night and ,IMHO, gives a guy a lot to think about.

Recommeded.

Among the endlessly-repeated dross on Sky, I've seen a couple of gems over the last few weeks:

Big Trouble is a hilarious complicated caper about a suitcase nuclear bomb, a kind of Yank "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" with a lower body count. Come to think of it hardly anyone gets killed, although the hitman played by Dennis Farina (the guy with the moustache who's practically cornered the market in playing the mafia boss in this kind of comedy) tries his best throughout. Definitely worth watching if it comes up again.

Route 9 looked fairly unpromising at first, but turned out to have a clever plot and was very watchable. It's about a couple of cops who arrive at the scene after a drug deal shootout and decide to keep the money.

I'm sure I've seen an artistic presentation of Snow White and Red RidingHood.

I'd like to see a Ken Russell version of that

Think they were behind the Green Door, but I might be mistaken...

I think I've seen that film. Don't think it's legal in this country

Little Red Ridinghood and Snow White have not teamed up yet; I guess we will have to wait

Anyone seen any good films at the Cinima lately?

Thinking of going to see Santa and the Snowman at the local IMAX in Manchester.

That'll be the one with Snow White and the big bad wolf then...
