Cast Away was very good.

I just watched Reds. Three hours and fifteen minutes long. That's quite an investment. It took me four sittings to complete it. But what a great movie.

I just watched In Bruges.
Some call it a comedy. While it has it's moments, I'd call it much more of a tragedy. Not sure what to think of it yet. I liked it, but I am not sure why.

I just watched revenge of the sith again; fucking fantastic film. I can only dream the next star wars offering is anywhere near as good - how could it be without all the built up narrative.

I liked that one! Was a definite laugh. Never really saw Farrell in anything before that. Or since...but it was good!

I want to see 2001 : A Space Odyssey in the new year now that
it has been re released. It is definitely a film made for the big
screen. Along with The Deer Hunter it is my all time favourite

If you ever get the chance to see it in a 70 mm print, do not pass it up.

You have to wonder how difficult it was to get a major Hollywood studio to back a project with that subject matter. Really speaks to the clout Warren Beatty must have had at the time.

The Deer Hunter was one great movie that I'll never watch again.
I couldn't get into 2001 and cut it off early.
I've been watching Monster's Ball (a drama). It's extremely well acted and thought out, but so tragic and melancholic that I've been watching it in pieces, lest it bring me down.
I watched Wild Side(1995) in between, which was stupid but very enjoyable. Chris Walken's role is a joke, but Anne Heche's always an interesting specimen.

That's one that I just couldn't watch to the finish... possibly because there wasn't one character that I found even remotely likable.

Holy shit, Elaine and Tony Soprano? Sign me up.
The Xmas movie looks interesting also because I have French Canadian relatives.

Not even Hale Berry's son? Poor kid man.

It's bleak and black, but in the best possible way.
Plus, Sally Hawkins is in it.

Why do you think so? Do you mean politics in general? Or communism?

Communism. Imagine trying to pitch that concept to a studio executive without including Beatty and Nicholson in the cast.
