h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Watched Hard Candy today, was very disappointed.

spoilers about hard candy

serephina i was a bit confused about wether she actually did the deed to him, or was it an elaborate hoax.. i was undecided but colleague says it was hoax for sure...

xxmore spoliers xx

definitely a hoax.. you saw him look at it in the mirror and say 'i'm all there' then he looked at the tools and the 'blood' on them was red syrup.


I found the whole movie pretty boring.

ahh i must have missed that bit.. i did wonder how he was so active...

Just got back from seeing Blood Diamonds. I'm fairly confident this film will be in my Top 5 in December, it was just fantastic. Very well acted, with great chemistry between the two leads and a powerful story that doesn't resort to cliches

Go and see it!

Saw Notes on a Scandal today. Not particularly impressed. *shrug*

2 dvd films this weekend

1st LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.. very good dry black comedy.. great acting, the little girl was so cute....kind of misleads you but good that it wasn't so cheesy...8 maybe 9/10...

also RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR... i hadn't heard anything about this but we took a chance on it... i don't think was in the 'big budget' film set, no known actors but what an interesting viewpoint on dirty bombs and how quickly everything falls apart... basic story line is guy sends wife off to her job in down town LA, then not long after 3 massive 'dirty bombs' go off in down town district... dilemma is people are advised to seal themselves into their homes and not let anyone in, for fear of toxic contamination... the rest is an interesting study on the result and how the government treats the whole thing...this blog was on the cover so i'm not giving too much away...

good film worth a look...8/10.

Am considering seeing Hannibal Rising sometime soon - will report in due course.

The Skeleton Key.

Saw Lucky Number Slevin at the weekend.

Not bad at all - a little slow in the middle but once the plot twists, it twists and turns like a.... twisty turny thing.

Mobius stip, perhaps?

strip, even

What, here? In front of everyone?

('tis a blackadder quote I was using )

*looks for appropriate music*

The last movie I saw was Cars on dvd for about the millionth time. Peanut (age 2) loves it. The last movie I saw in a theater was Casino Royale. I was impressed with the new direction the management have decided to take. The middle bit with the woman was okay at first, but then deteriorated until she died and the movie got back on track. There were some unanswered questions, like what happened to the kidnapped French boyfriend? If she was so in love with said boyfriend, why did she take up with James (aside from the fact that he's )? Why did she kill herself? Was she cut up about the old boyfriend or about betraying queen & country? I know. Too much thinking for a 007 movie.

I just realized Hannibal Rising is about Lecter. I thought it was the Vin Diesel one about Hannibal with the elephants.

I watched Blinkende Lygter(Flickering Lights) the other day. A good fun movie, even if it had some slightly violent scenes at times. But it probably has too many Danish cultural references for foreigners. I have another three Danish hit movies to watch.

I've seen "Bobby" this morning, what a great film
the other choice was Blood Diamonds - and I *really* wrestled with the choice.
Next week Blood Diamonds is showing again, against "Showgirls" which I *desperately* want to see

I think "Blood Diamonds" is going to be my weekend choice for film...only other one that I want to see at the moment is "The Last king Of Scotland"...decisions, decisions!

Still, if nothing else good comes out next week I'll probably get to see both.

Dont watch showgirls it is pants, its a really, really bad film. It tries to make points but does it so ham fistedly you'll miss half the film cringing at how badly done they are.

Blood Diamond is a great film showgirls could have been a good film but ends up being a poor substitute for porn.

Honestly, dont do it to yourself.

I thought Showgirls had been nominated for awards?
