I've got Wolf of Wall Street, really is a top film. Also got Captian Phillips, Rush, Trance 2013, Flith, Mandela a long walk to freedom, American hustle, Anchorman the legend of Ron Burgandy, Lincoln, Mud, Only God Forgives, Prisinors, Secret life of walter mity, The impossible.

Probably start off with only god forgives and Lincoln, Mandela bound to be good too. And Anchorman 2 will be on the soon to be watched soon.

Wolf of Wall Street is utter class ColtPan, get it watched I didn't send 4 USB's for you to causally wank over. Creep.

Watched Captain Philips. It's well shot and a good story but the dialogue is absolutely pish.

I agree - I really didn't enjoy it. So many stupid scenes just made the crew out to look stupid.

Watched Catching Fire - Hunger Games 2 and its ok.

I mentioned it a few pages back but Open Grave is really worth a watch if you haven't already seen it.

It's a great movie :). Watched Single shot the other night and thats pretty good - grimy redneck thriller. (wish it had subtitles as I could hardly understand what they were saying :D)

“Holy Rollers” is inspired by actual events in the late nineties, when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. Sam Gold (Jesse Eisenberg), a young Hasid from an Orthodox Brooklyn community, is following the path his family has chosen with a pending arranged marriage and becoming a Rabbi. A charming neighbor, Yosef Zimmerman (Justin Bartha), senses Sam’s resistance and propositions him to transport ‘medicine’ for Jackie (Danny Abeckaser), an Israeli dealer, and Rachel (Ari Graynor), Jackie’s girlfriend. Sam quickly demonstrates his business acumen to his bosses, who instantly take Sam under their wing, and into the exciting worlds of Manhattan and Amsterdam nightlife. Sam falls deeper into their cavalier lifestyle, even experimenting with ecstasy, and falling for Rachel. As the business grows, Sam’s double life begins to rip his family apart, while the community starts to suspect his illegal activities. Sam slowly comes to realize the façade behind the easy money and parties. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, Sam goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down.

Watched it a while back and was a bit disappointed and dismissive at the time. Don't think I was in the right frame of mind. That and I tend to be put of by endless hype and PD was foaming at the mouth for it (unsurprisingly) and I think that clouded my judgement a bit. Suspect it's a lot better than I initially thought so will watch it again at some point. It's the kinda thing that probably needs a few viewings to get the most out of. Probably helps if you've read the Tibetan Book of the Dead too.

Have only just discovered a certain Jan Švankmajer, and I've found it completely mesmerizing.

Here's a clip of one of his shorts, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMTBW7MMTW4

Švankmajer <3

His version of Alice in Wonderland (Neco z Alenky) is by far the best of any that I've seen, but my fave so far is Sílení (Lunacy) which combines elements from Edgar Allen Poe and Marquis de Sade into a blacker than black comedy and chucks in plenty of his trademark meat. He really is a unique filmmaker. I've got his version of Faust around somewhere but have never gotten around to watching it all the way through. Think I was a bit young to really get it at the time.
 
This week's fillum watchings have consisted of Gravity which I though was pretty decent. Although more a spectacle than a film. Imagine it must've looked amazing on the big screen, although I also imagine it must've made ya kinda seasick at times. Made my head go a bit woozy even on a monitor. Although maybe being so relatively small actually made it worse for that cos was a bit difficult to quite make out what bits were whizzing where at times. Must've been an absolute nightmate to shoot - just trying to keep track of all the angles and relative motion of things. Suppose that's what computers are for but damnably impressive stuff visually.

Plot... well it's not the kind film that has a plot really is it. Just grab the NASA Emergency Procedures manual and transcribe edited highlights. For what it is though, good stuff. Even an ol' cynic like me had a few moments of "Oh! Noooooooooes!!!". That may have been seasickness though ;)

Other fillum was Wolf of Wall Street. Gotta say I was massively disappointed. Struggled to hold my attention - actually watched it in two parts cos it just didn't grab me much. On the plus side it looks great from a cinematography perspective and had some hilarious scenes, but didn't work as a film for me. I think a big part of the problem was that I just didn't give a shit about a single character. They're all shallow, despicable pieces of human excrement. Admttedly so are most of the characters in many Scorcese films but when mobsters are more sympathetic there is summat wrong somewhere.

Another part of the problem was that I just didn't see why it was a film. It's just not a very interesting story. No real character development and precious little plot really. Couldn't make out what it was trying to achieve. Yes it is very funny in parts but it's not really a comedy... but that's as close to a definition as I could put to it. Biopic I suppose but it's hardly the lifestory of the century. Watchable - entertaining in places - but nothing beyond that for me.

(i will admit it did have me craving luudes just as much as it did everybody else though :D)

I'll take your Helter Skelter and raise you Jim Van Bebber's The Manson Family (aka The Family) - trailer for the official release here. However, the official release ain't so great (although not terrible). The one you really want is the director's cut which is only available as a torrent of the rough cut afaik. It's a lot longer and drastically re-edited after the studio bottled releasing his version for one reason and another. To be fair, he pulls no punches. By far the best Manson film I've seen. Probably also the closest thing to a documentary crew just following events as they happened.

I'd actually highly recommend anything you can find by Van Bebber. Cult underground writer/actor/director who only made a handful of shorts, films and unfinished bits 'n' bobs. One of my filmic heroes as a yoof. Partly cos Deadbeat at Dawn was (and still is after a fairly recent reviewing) one of the best zero-budget kickass action flicks you could ever wish for, but mostly cos he just went and did it. Just got his mates together and started making films. Admittedly he didn't actually finish many but he started a few and what he did do is pretty frikkin impressive considering he had basically no financial backing or support of any kind aside from friends and family.
 
I've seen the '76 version - can't recall if I've seen the more recent one by the same name but probably cos I do likes me a bit of Manson action now and then. Got loads of his albums too but Sam's yer man for those really :D

Reckon you may just become a convert to Van Bebber's stuff actually. It's not always so easy to find but... internet - I'm sure you'll manage. Have a sneaky you'll like his short films especially going by some of the stuff you linky.

Was also pleased to see that he's still working according to IMDB. I thought he'd quit after The Famiy turned into a complete nightmare with studio wrangles and stuff. Gonna have to have meself a lil looksee at his more recent stuff cos he's a bit of a fave of mine. I think I may have mentioned that :o
 
Think we might be thinking about different people, FG. Unless I'm misunderstanding which is always eminently possible. Fella I was meaning doesn't have anything to do with American Dad.

(although i am very fond of american dad too - much prefer it to the greatly overrated family guy)

Which just dropped the hint - think we may have crossed wires over a number of things going by similar names. If somebody sat down to watch the fillum The Family I was meaning up there and was expecting to see an extended version of their fave animated comedy series they'd be in for quite the shock to the system =D

Alternatively, apologies for misunderstanding - I blame the tiredness for a change. No drugs to be blamed tonight 8o

As such, am off akip. Catch ya tomorrow, FG :)
