What film did you watch last night?

[PaulB]

Lincoln. What a load of dreary, plodding, going-nowhere-fast this is! It's right up there with the dreary Amistad and Joe Black (?) as a suffer-fest for the hapless viewer. 6/10

To improve things, we watched that Point Blank on BBC 4 later on. MUCH better! A John Boorman film starring Lee Marvin, a very attractive young Angie Dickinson and Keenan Wynn. Very good, 6/10

The Seasoning House.......... Not what I (or Mrs R) was expecting.

Leo: Actors aren't animals! They're human beings!
Max : Have you ever eaten with one?

I'd forgotten just how good it is. Laughed like a drain.

Time to go to work...

I watched the Sentinel (with Eva Longoria and Kim Bassinger) last night. Not a bad yarn.

Black hawk down. Excellent and powerful film. It's one of those films you can watch more than once.

Agreed, very well made.
The book is even better.

Never read the book, but like I suppose like most films, the book is always better. May read it.

Morgan - A Suitable Case for Treatment. Rather odd, quite enjoyable, incredibly '60s. Irene Handl is wonderful, as ever.

that was the first VHS i watched on our new VCR back in nineteen-eighty-?? ... it baffled me then, maybe i should revisit it.

I wouldn't go out of your way. It's no less baffling now...but it's an interesting period-piece. Swinging London, man. Daddyo. Whatever.

Looked at the conjuring........ Was OK horror........ But have seen better. Get the best from high speed BB and get to look at the film you want when you want.

Saturday was:-

Honey I blew up the Kid.

Despicable Me
Despicable Me 2 and.....

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (yes there is a two, my kids made me download the first one). What a wierd film ! Just totally bonkers. Think the makers were on LSD.

Agree a great film. Mind you so are Blazing Saddles, Young Frankensein, Silent movie, and the utter genius of High Anxiety. Other than perhaps Kurosawa, i don't think any director has a higher masterpiece to output ratio. Brooks'scombination of lowbrow humour, self mockery, tehcnical perfection & craftsmanship, and all round genius puts him up there with the true greats cinema, and concedes no ground to anyone.
