i thought it was 'technically' an ok movie - but it wasnt a 'Tim Burton' film ..

Why not? I found it very Burton-esque, especially most everything to do with the town of Spectre

It wasnt very burtonesque to me either, but i loved it.

And forget the Star Wars movies. Although Ewan is the best thing they have going fo rthem, you want to see Trainspotting. He is incredible in that, plus, it is just a great movie.

Oh..this has been a great week of viewing for me...3 episodes of American Idol and The Apprentice last night....my wife is turning me into a fucking pussy:mad:

I'll try to make up for it this weekend....my son is bringing home a copy of "Dead Birds", a civil war ghost story thats getting great reviews.

Be Cool

very funny.

"Ong-Bak"


This martial art flick from Thailand totally blew me away.

It had amazing stunts, good fight scenes, good humor, VERY good camera work (Loved the replays of all the cool stunts) and especially an outstanding Lead actor/fighter in Tony Jaa.
I´ve never seen a martial art movie based on the Muay Thai style, but Ong-bak certainly shows that it can be done, and it wouldn´t surprise me if we get to see a lot more of it in the future. Jaa is like a blend of Jakie Chan, Steven Segal and Mark Dacascos, but just faster, tougher and as supple as a rubber doll.
The last fights in the cave had some of the wildest stunts i´ve ever seen.

I´m definitely gonna buy the sequal as soon as it comes out on DVD.:)

I watched a fairly...odd assortment of films lat night/this morning

I watched Casablanca yesterday afternoon. Very good movie, but majorly overrated. Bogart was damn good though

That night, I rented The Who's "Tommy". Hmm, what can I say about this...briefly, it was the absolute strangest movie Ive ever seen, but not in a bad way. I loved it, plus the music was awesome!

This is where my movie watching hit a sour note. Fear of the Dark. So may words I could use to describe this...steaming pile of flaming dog shit sprinkled with a single grain of sugar works well. I say that because the story was awful, the actors couldnt act their way out of a paper bag, and there was so many cfontinuity mistakes I couldnt keep track. But the one grain of sugar is that damn good masks/makeup on the bad guy. Wow, he looked great! Too bad the rest was so terrible...

Then this morning I watched Big Fish again:D

you gotta be F'n kiddin, overrated:confused:
