I watched almost all of "Ma Mère" starring Isabelle Huppert. It was so laughably bad, I stopped. She used to make such good movies.
When we walked through Little Italy I saw my reflection come right off your face

| Shoalin Soccer was bad ass! I reluctantly watched it with my buddies kids and ended up loving it. Kung Fu Hustle was pretty sweet too. |

I guess it may seem entertaining to people who don't understand football, ie Americans and The Japanese ; )
EDIT: Kung Fu Hustle is on my list though. Looks good.

House, for some reason I saw that gem in the theater. I have no memory of it other than "Norm" was in it and it wasn't good. Did it have the 1980s required "hot babe" with a flash of bra/bikini?
Yeah, I think there was a chick in a bikini at one point. Some neighbor lady who later made the main character watch her kid.

Saw The Brothers Grimm last week. Drags a little in places, but overall pretty good. Some freaky ideas. It did'nt deserve to get such a critical slaughtering. Okay, so it's a bit more mainstream than some of Gilliam's stuff, but that's the problem. People were expecting a 'Terry Gilliam' movie!
Also watched Halloween, Halloween 4 and Halloween Resurrection recently. Part 1=good, 4=watchable, Resurrection=excrable.
Oh, and also Jess Franco's Jack The Ripper. Enjoyable nuttiness with Klaus Kinski.

| A History of Violence : David Cronenberg was a great director. Sadly (since Spider), he isn't anymore. |

Mr. and Mrs. Smith - 120 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Vince Vaughn was the only reason I didn't walk out. This piece of crap movie totally sucked.

That sucks, I saw Shivers recently (his first film I believe) and it was just splendid. Even if he sucks now I'll always love him for the Deborah Harry nude scene in Videodrome. |

Watched a film called "Images" the other night It's directed by Robert Altman and starred Susannah York . I really enjoyed it, it was really creppy and kept you guessing about what was real and what was imaginary. Plus it was shoot in a lovely part of Ireland, Glendalough, which is near where I live.

I saw that a few years ago on RTE presented in a showcase called The Last Picture Show by that guy who gave away the plots beforehand, it was nice and peculiar.

Ya, I remember him, I think he gave us a lecture when I had a film studies module, he did use to totally deconstruct the film before you got to watch it!  It was a cool film to watch as I'd just woken up from a nap and was abit fuzzy and that coloured my preception of it.

I saw "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" on Wednesday. It sucked, but at least now I can say I've seen the whole series.

Just watched Spider, I really liked it. Ralph Fiennes was really excellent in it as well, I didn't expect him to be as good as he was.

Yeah, I did'nt see it. I thought A History Of Violence was okay, nothing brilliant, but some people obviously did'nt like it. Oh by the way, never seen Images, but I've been to Gleandalough a few times! That presenter on that Last Picture Show prog that used to be on, can't remember his name, he always seemed quite passionate about film. He's a film critic for some paper, can't think which!
BF-Palimdromes, hav'nt seen it or any of Todd Solondz's movies, it did get quite middling reviews!
Vovat-TCM 4 is indeed fucking dreadful.

I really enjoyed Mr & Mrs Smith - it was pure trash with some fabulously sexy fight scenes - perfect low brow entertainment in my humble opion.
I have this and next weekend all to myself so doing some catching up on the dvd watching. Yesterday was A Dirty Shame which I absolutely loved. The detail in John Waters movies is lush. Followed by The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou - I now want a boat just like that or to be Angelica Huston, I've nto decided yet. A perfectly charming movie. Both absolute escapism and just what the doctor ordered.

Life Aquatic was in fact so good I watched it again last night. I think I enjoyed it even more the second time around it now is officially my favourite movie of the year.

The Life Aquatic is actually the first movie ever that made me want to buy the DVD. Definitely my movie of the year.
FYI, The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie comes #2.

SawII last night.
I'm always disappointed in horror movies.
If you're going to have a lack of plot or character development for the sake of pure gore, then at least have some kickass gore for chrissakes!
