Im tempted to get netflix, also got a ps3 so might stream it through that, does it work well and smoothly?
 
works perfectly through the ps3 Colt, I use it every day pretty much, it's replaced normal TV for me now, they have such a good collection of TV Shows and Films(not perfect on the film front yet but getting more and more in each day) and I normally stream a few hours worth each day with no lag ever like you get on BBC Iplayer or 4od, most films and shows have subtitle options too, well worth it for about a fiver a month.
 
Nice, they still doing a months free trial? I'm just about to get back onto watching Spooks, they have it from the very beginning on Netflix, although they only have the first 7 seasons available so far it is still a lot of spooks to watch :) I only got into spooks around about season 8 so am enjoying watching it from the start.

Elizabeth


Elizabeth: "What am I to do now?
am I to be made of stone?
must I be touched by nothing?"

Walshingham: "... Aye, Madame, to rein supreme;
man needs something greater to look up to and worship."

Walshingham: "They must be able to touch the divine,
here on earth."

[in reference to a statue of Mary]
Elizabeth: "She held such power over mens hearts...
they died for Her."

Walshingham: "They have found nothing to replace her."

Elizabeth: "Cat,
I have become a virgin."

Elizabeth: "Observe Lord Burly
I have married England."

Goodfellas

Twas very good, though I had a tough time keeping all the characters straight, to be honest. It also made me really want NDTIF&T. ;)
 
Just finished watching Cinderella Man, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, didn't really think Russel Crowe could do a boxing film well but he did, some good acting all around, even by Zellwegger.

Really like fims based on true stories too, is nice to be entertained watching a film at the same time as hearing a good underdog story that actually did happen. Would definitely recommend watching this film, is up there with other great boxing films.
 
I haven't seen a film for twelve days - having gone cold turkey on drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, meat, sugar, and films simultaneously - in an effort to rid myself of dependency. The last film I watched was The Boss of It All, the first of Von Trier's films I have been exposed to that is neither brilliant or good. At the end of the film, the eccentric Danish film-maker says "Those who got what they came for, deserve it." I didn't get what I came for. So, I guess I deserved better. Funny that even when Von Trier makes a bad film it is thought provoking. I'm not sure I understood Boss, but it appears as if he intentionally made a bad film in order to differentiate between the people who understand his work and those who don't. There are people that blindly applaud what they think deserves applause rather than determining - on a case by case basis - if indeed it does. I am not one of those people. I will not praise Von Trier unless he deserves it. If this was his test, I passed. I'm not sure that I like being tested, but I can't complain. The majority of his films are brilliant. I will indulge the occasional pretentious experiment. Boss of It All got me thinking about Von Trier and about his films, and art-house films in general. I started wondering if he really is a genius, and doubting my own opinion. As I said, I think that was the point. I had twelve days to contemplate this. Twelve days of withdrawals to question reality.

Today was my first relapse. I lay down on my couch with my favorite cat and watched Lars Von Trier's Europa, the final installment of his Europa trilogy. It is the best World War II film I have ever seen. It is visually stunning, despite being wildly experimental. The use of colour against black and white is more effective, though less subtle, than the first of the Europa trilogy - The Element of Crime. It consistently appears as if it was produced in a different decade. Not just the film stock, as film-makers tend to employ when attempting to replicate another era. Everything. The way the actors stand. The compositions. Blocking. Facial expressions. Make-up. Like in Element, the attention to detail is exquisite. And then there is the film itself. A bold and original take on post war Germany that builds up to two incredible climaxes. It had me on the edge of my seat, tears welling up in my eyes. When it was time for the credits to roll I finally exhaled and said - out loud - "Holy Fuck."

10/5

Europa is my favorite of Von Trier's films. It is an absolute masterpiece of modern cinema. Whether or not I would have been as impressed without the contrast of Boss or the lengthy period of abstinence, I don't know. Maybe I would have given it seven out of five rather than ten. But it certainly deserves a higher rating than practically every other film ever made.

If I ever find a woman crazy enough to bear my children, I will insist that they watch this film; and, if they refuse, I will employ Clockwork Orange style eyelid clips.
 
Titanic in 3-D. Though I love the film (I said it, and the rest of you can go to hell), 3-D didn't add anything to the experience, except several dollars. Suckers, and all that...

Dont think Ive seen that, but actually want to.

I am waiting for my DVD of the HBO 2005 series of Elizabeth I to arrive. This is supposed to be very good cinema and accurate as possible historically.
:D

had it overnighted, cant wait !
lol
 
The Sitter, with Jonah Hill... wasn't a huge fan of it, and thought it was totally bizzaro and borderline innappropriate when Jonah Hill's character tells that prepubescent boy that he's definitely a homosexual... wtf?

lol Since you said I might as well come out of the Titanic closet as well. I love the movie, well honestly I just love James Cameron movies in general. But I agree with you I don't see how converting the film to 3D does anything to improve upon it.
