I got my lad Borat for easter so just watched that with him, not as funny as I was hoping

Watching an old TV series [u]The Prisoner[u]

Movies I can watch over and over: One Flew Over the CucKoo's Nest Much Ado About Nothing Ethan Frome and if you can stand the music (Oscar notwithstanding) The Third Man

Yeah it totally didnt live up to the hype for me either.

I watched Ray last weekend. I love biographical movies and in this one I think I found a new music I like.

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 06:55 PM

I liked Borat....some very very funny moments. But overall I preferred his tv stuff.

The Prisoner ! What a series!. The opening sequence with that wonderful music still gives me goosepimples.

I prefered Borat to his tv stuff, that just doesn't do it for me. I've not watched The Prisoner for such a long time. I must dig it out.
Watched The Crow last night. One of my faves

Which of the multiple versions? If it's the 2003 (directed by Takeshi Kitano) I thought that one was fantastic.

I've been sick this weekend. I decided the best way to deal with not feeling well involved plenty of fluids (including some port) and bed rest. In addition to the cold, though, I may come down with a bad case of "remote thumb!"

The Believer - Really intense independent film. Depending on who you talk to, this is either a horrible (Simon Wiesenthal Center) or great (Anti-Defamation League) film. The story is about self, identity, our relationship to God and each other ... viewed through the experience of a Skinhead whose past is about to be revealed.

Casino Royale - After much trepidation, I decided to watch this. I am happy to report that the script stays far more in line with the book than many of the 1970s (Moore) Bond films that lifted the titles and little else. Daniel Craig is more than merely acceptable as Bond. Okay, he's great. He's hot, he's Bond as Ian Fleming described him.

The United States of Leland - Slowly paced psychological study of a young man in Juvenile Detention. They hint at what happened, never fully reveal anything.

16 Blocks - Bruce Willis can't make a bad action-adventure movie.

Two Re-Watched:
Borat - So funny you have to watch it over and over, because so much of it is completely unbelievable and you have to be sure you really saw what you just saw.

Kung Fu Hustle - I hear laughter is the best medicine. If so, I should be better in time for work tomorrow.

Just finished the two Riddick movies.

Fairly good action-scifi, little enough NEED for acting - so Vin Diesel isn't given a chance to ruin it. I'd watch them again. Not the best scifi ever, but good enough.

I thought the first one was the better one. I generally like Vin Diesel's movies and I particularly liked Find Me Guilty.

wolf · 04-15-2007, 04:06 PM

I loved both of those, and thought that the "bridge" cartoon, Dark Fury, was also okay.

Thing is, though, Vin Diesel can actually ACT. You don't notice it in the Riddick movies, though, because he does it so very well.

I have both seasons one and two. I have to get the requisite number of contiguous hours available.

Right now I am working my way through The Lone Gunmen. It didn't really work very well as a series, despite how entertaining Byers, Frohicke, and Langly were on The X-Files. Bad Spin-Off Disease abounds. But in an interesting twist, the Pilot Episode, which aired in early 2001 (March, according to IMDB) features a plot to put a jet into the WTC. They got it half-right.
