1. I watched The Sting yesterday for the first time. Newman and Redford were so good looking I almost threw up. Great chuffing movie. I think I'll watch Amelie today - perfect movie, I could watch it every day...

    Perhaps with the exception of John Carpenter, never has a film director lost grip of their genius with more shocking results than Coppola. The man was in charge of two Godfathers, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now all within ONE decade. The fall was long and painful. Jack? Dear, oh dear... I don't see Megalopolis getting made, either.

    can only say that youth without youth is a masterpiece in my eyes


  4. Well, that's fair enough, innit? When Coppola hits, he REALLY hits, so I'll check it out soon enough, let you know what I think...

    alright


    also, what did I watch last?
    red dragon, one of my all time favourites as well! gotta love the hannibal series


  6. Red Dragon? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Watch Manhunter instead, it's so much better. For one thing, Ed Norton's way too young to play Will Graham. Once he popped up in the movie, his age became too distracting and I couldn't enjoy it. And Brian Cox is a better Lecktor than Hopkins is Lecter...
    I watched Ichi The Killer this morning while the sprog kipped - can't have kids watching that sort of thing


  7. I enjoyed it. It's very fast-paced, and intense throughout the whole thing.
  8. @ Jeremy - Eagle Eye?

    I saw "Boy In The Striped Pyjamas" with a load of my flatmates a couple of weeks back, easily the most depressing film I've ever seen. I think it was really good BUT depressing nevertheless - you've never been in such a subdued cinema at the end of a film...

    I have no clue how old graham is supposed to be, so that fact didn't bother me at all and I'm totally used to hopkins playing lecter. never seen manhunter, is there more goriness? lol


    @harry:
    guess I know that feeling. after 'the downfall' (der untergang) the cinema was completely quiet at the end... eerie anyway, how was david thewlis in the movie? good acting?

    i thought Red Dragon was pretty good; granted I haven't seen Manhunter but still...it was better than Hannibal. and I haven't seen Hannibal Rising either
