    I'm re-watching Martin Scorsese movies. Watched Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, both of which I hadn't seen for well over a decade, both great imo.

    Then yesterday I re-watched Goodfellas, which I actually enjoyed more this time around. i used to think that Ray Liotta's performance was a bit weak, but this time around I thought he was very good. Another film I hadn't seen for a long time.

    Next up is Casino, and then The King of Comedy. After that I think I'll try some of his films that I've never watched before.

    OMG - How can some people be so dumb?

    I've seen that and I thought surely it was a wind up but if you read up about it there are genuine thickos that have indeed fallen for it.

    In Bruges (7/10) - Guilt-stricken after a job gone wrong, hitman Ray and his partner await orders from their ruthless boss in Bruges, the last place in the world Ray wants to be. With Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes

    I liked the black humour, I did find it entertaining and I especially loved that the main characters are British and Irish. However, I don't think there is much that will make me remember it in a few months time.

    I watched Jane Eyre (2011) this afternoon. God knows how many times this has been adapted now, but this was a decent enough version. I thought Mia Wasikowska made for a terrific Jane Eyre, but Michael Fassbender was a little miscast as Mr Rochester. No problem with the brooding part of the role, but he is just too handsome for some key scenes to quite work (for example when Rochester asks Eyre if she thinks him handsome and she says no! lol!), personally I always felt like Orson Welles pretty much nailed that part.

    But anyone, nicely filmed with some interesting editorial choices. It was an enjoyable enough film. 7/10.

    I found that version a surprising let-down, which is odd as it was actually a good film. There were scenes that just didn't work. Almost disjointed, I would say? I've already rambled about this film on this forum a while back so I'll shut up now.

    Having said that, you should check out Blind and Firelight if you like that sort of films. Both - especially Blind - have interesting imagery, too.

    I got this from another site but what I go by is:

    1 - Hated it
    2 - Didn't like it
    3 - It was OK
    4 - Liked it
    5 - Loved it

    Double that number for a score out of ten.

    The dictator - Funny, offensive, rather good. A little bit better than Bruno and Borat.
    Twister - It was alright
    21 Grams - Amazing, powerful
    From hell - Awful, boring
    Detachment - Nice little indie film with a great performance by Adrien Brody

    I rate a film on the likelihood of me re-watching it.

    Hypothermia (2011)

    Sort of 'creature from the frozen lagoon'.

    A hysterically lame monster but, nevertheless, strangely compelling.

    The Mist 7/10

    It was ok. The ending was spectacularly cruel. I can't get my head around it. :eek:

    Just watched Winters Bone 7/10

    Limitless. I thought Bradley Cooper was good enough to at least partially compensate for the godawful Hangover. I mostly missed the last couple of minutes when the phone rang, but it didn't seem important enough to make me rewind it. I'll probably keep it on the recorder though.

    Splice. This was downright silly and seemed to have stolen almost the entire plot from a BBC series from many years ago called Chimera. It's certainly put me off having sex with anything with a tail.

    in bruges. 4/10.

    poorly scripted uk gangster flick with the single "plot twist" horribly obvious. setting it in Bruges is a stupid gimmick with no connection to the story.

    New films I've seen recently

    Hitchcock - 5/10 Ok,but felt more of a TV movie.Quite uneventful.You're better off just watching Psycho again.An extra point given though for Scarlett Johansson being so hot :)

    Tha Bay - 5/10 Found footage style horror that is a bit different about a town whose water supply is infected and everyone starts rotting and going nuts.Ok,but ultimately forgettable.

    Wreck It Ralph - 5/10 The usual Pixar fare.Nowhere near as good as the Toy Story films,Wall-E or Finding Nemo though.

    Old films I've seen recently

    Basket Case (1982) - 7/10 I hadn't seen this since I was a kid.It has cheepo 80's effects but that somehow adds to it's charm.Much more entertaining and creepy than the new horrors I've watched lately (but maybe the nostalga factor helped).

    Network (1976) - 8/10 Great satire about a news anchor who is going to get fired for low ratings and goes nuts on the air prompting his ratings to go up.It's funny watching it now because although it was meant as over the top when they made it,now these crazy news anchors actually exist in America.It's as if Fox news used this movie as a blueprint lol.

    Punch Drunk Love (2002) - 4/10 Strange romantic comedy with Adam Sandler.I'd heard it was really good,but found it really bland.

    Spoorloos (the vanishing) (1988) - 8/10 Brilliant Dutch thriller/horror about a guy whose girlfriend gets abducted when they're on vacation.He spends the next few years trying to find her,and is being sent postcards from the person who abduted her promising to reaveal to him what has happened to her.This film is awesome and takes a unique approach in that it shows nearly as much from the view point of the abductor as it does the guy looking for his girlfriend.It's best to know as little as possible about this film before you see it.
