The Fountain was the last one and Apocalypto before that. Both featured Mayans in one way or another and both were shit. Take heed.

I was actually looking forward to both of them and had high hopes...in different ways.

Actually, those were the last things I saw at the cinema. I saw Junebug on dvd and that was really good.

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (sort of a tradition among my friends..)

The Departed. Disappointed with it despite the nominations it's getting. It was a great action-thriller, though.

I thought the Fountain was alright. Definately not up to par with Aaronofsky's other films, but with the not so original plot, he did a good job.
He's got another one coming out soon - it's name, however, has slipped my mind - and from what I've read about it, it sounds like a good one.

He helped write the bloody not so original plot. I thought it was pretty damn bad and showed him up to be a skillful technician with plenty of tricks in his bag but absolutely no content whatsoever. And he abandoned all his tricks for the fountain but, oops, forgot to actually say anything. He might have got away with it if he'd ended the film 20 minutes earlier but he had to tack on some dubious buddhist imagery (bald, future Jackman in the lotus position, palms faced outwards...oh please!) to the whole mayan tree of life/Xibalba shtick which made the whole thing look very silly ideed. Utter, utter guff.

I went to see the new Peter O'Toole movie "Venus".

It's written by Hanif 'My Beautiful Laundrette' Kureishi and it's about a dirty old man (O'Toole) who falls for his friends 20-year-old slutty grand-niece. It's funny and tragic and lovely. Sort of like a geriatric 'Withnail & I' with shades of 'Harold & Maude'.

I liked it so much I'm currently in the process of stealing it (slowly) off the internet. Give me 10 hours or so and I should be able to enjoy it again, in small-screen avi format, in the comfort of my own PC-desk swivel-chair.

It was a french film. It was called "I stand alone"

Has anyone seen this film? It's straight up terrifying. Very fucking disturbing. I almost wish I'd not seen it.

The Prestige.

Hotel Rwanda. It convinced me to help out with Amnesty. Such a sad movie...

Sounds like my kind of movie. Will check it out.


I watched Lars von Trier's masterpiece again.

 

You will now listen to my voice. My voice will help you and guide you still deeper into Europa. Every time you hear my voice, with every word and every number, you will enter into a still deeper layer, open, relaxed and receptive. I shall now count from one to ten. On the count of ten, you will be in Europa. I say: one. And as your focus and attention are entirely on my voice, you will slowly begin to relax. Two, your hands and your fingers are getting warmer and heavier. Three, the warmth is spreading through your arms, to your shoulders and your neck. Four, your feet and your legs get heavier. Five, the warmth is spreading to the whole of your body. On six, I want you to go deeper. I say: six. And the whole of your relaxed body is slowly beginning to sink. Seven, you go deeper and deeper and deeper. Eight, on every breath you take, you go deeper. Nine, you are floating. On the mental count of ten, you will be in Europa. Be there at ten. I say: ten.

"I stand alone"? I don't know what that one could be. Do you know how it's called in french ?

[SpankMarvin]

Pan's Labyrinth. A good film, and a visual treat. I was shocked to see so many children in the cinema - did the parents think that a Rated R fairy tale would be like, err, THE Labyrinth?
