Saw "Saw 2" yesterday. Not bad, not as good as the first though. It's definately alot sicker and WAY more gory.

Saw the new Harry Potter last night. I have only seen the first one, so I'm a bit out of the loop, but I enjoyed it. Decent storyline...keeps you entertained. An ending you would not expect for kids though.

Watched War of the Worlds last night, thought it was pretty good.

Effects were sensational and the aliens really well done. Cheesy ending but thats Spielberg

Anyone seen Wolf Creek yet? Is it messed up?

I'll see it if is. Must be a laugh if it's been banned in NT.

It was only banned in the NT cos it had to much in common with the whole peter falconio case thats happening there at the moment. It will be released when the case has finished.

Bloody softys

One of the ladies at our Christmas Show yesterday said she saw Wolf Creek and the whole way through her Nepalese Son In Law kept jumping up and saying thinks like 'look out lady..he's back!' When they left there were three old ducks just sitting looking at the screen stunned. One was crying and Kaysie lost count of how many people got up and left during the movie. Don't think they realised how much terror was involved.

I've not seen it, but from what I've heard it's the same ending as the HG Wells book...

...

... favourtie quote from that movie is when one girl refers to another as an 'axe wound'

Posted: **5 Dec 2005, 12:26pm**

ending is the same yeah. Would be a bit confusing if you werent aware of how the original story went cos the film is kinda flying along and then stops all of a sudden.

Old Boy - 2003 Korean film

A Seoul businessman with a wife and daughter who, after a drunken night on the town, is locked up in a strange room for 15 years before being released onto a rooftop with no money, no future, only the memory of his family that was lost to him during his incarceration. Meeting a sushi chef, Mido, (not by chance...perhaps?) he sets out to find out who put him in the room and destroyed his life.

This movie is awesomely crazy lands, ie its hardhitting and pretty full on...And very confronting! That being said, I LOVE this movie. The cinematography is amazing, the korean sets were so well done and each shot is perfectly taken. There is one fight scene where Oh Daesu takes on about 20 guys with a claw hammer...And they did it in ONE take. Wow. Its def not for the fainthearted, but well worth the watch

It just missed out on the Palme D'Or at Cannes, Quentin Tarantino is a massive fan of the film! Booty has a pic of Oh Daesu in his avatar

went and saw broken flowers yesterday...
really really enjoyed it. Very amusing but also quite deep...Ive been thinking about it quite a bit the last 24hrs.
Bill Murray is as solemn as he was in lost in translation.

Highly recommend it

Watched "Unleashed" the other night with Jet Li, Morgan Freeman & Bob Hoskins.....I know what you're thinking - Jet Li=flying around on wires doing impossible things.....In this case that is at a minimal.

The movie was written & produced by Luc Besson (Fifth Element, The Professional), and the soundtrack by Massive Attack (Written for the movie), and has additional music by the RZA.

In terms of cinematography, this film is very cool, and has a great use of space & colour - The music is awesome.

Quite gritty, and an interesting performance from Li make this great viewing......Suprisingly

Hired Dukes of Hazzard the other day on DVD.

The girlfriend wasn't veryt impressed when I bought it home. She thought I only got it to see Jessica Simpson in short shorts. I wouldn't do a thing like that!

But seriously, I didn't think it was too bad. It had some funny moments.

Just saw hostel

and wow, thats some fucked up shit right there.
good movie though if your into the whole thriller / torture movies

ie like saw and wolf creek

its quite well put together though theres defanatly some americanism to the movie in the later half of the movie.

All in all top watch

8/10
