You win nothzing! The Good ShepherdMatt Damon in Team America: MATT DAMON! It must be real easy for Damon to make that blank face he does, because he does it a whole lot in this film. Anyhoo, DeNiros first big director role I think, and he does a decent job, there were some good scenes of political secret spy-type boring things happening (as it probably usually is), and the behind the scenes Order of Skull and Bones/Stonecutters society was cool (I don't know if thats what actually happened, but it fitted the story anyway). The girl getting thrown out of the plane disturbed me quite a lot, so I must have been wrapped up in the story, good job DeNiro! B+

The Illusionist & The PresitgeOr "Everybody Getting Punk'd Left Right and Centre!" Illusionist: Edward Norton as a mysterious magician, Rufus Sewell as evilish Crown Prince and Paul Giamatti as the Police Inspector were really good, and Jessica Biels badonkadonk! (drool) The story itself was simple enough and guessable where it was going (I don't like to use the word "predictable", as I liked the story) I liked the degraded look of the film too, helped with the suspension of disbelief and the neat illusions. B!Prestige: I liked this one better, even though the story was revealed to me by reading a few too reviews and even a spoiler (fucks sake people!) It did have me a bit confused at the end, so I'll watch it again. Bale and Jackman did as good a job as Norton, they're all good actors blah blah blah but it was great to see David Bowie and Andy Serkis together as Nikolai Tesla and his assistant, heheh. Also, Scarlett Johanssons badonkadonk! A-So, The Prestige was better, even if Bales character doesn't accidentally call Michael Caines character "Alfred"...

You like magic, do ya? Sniff my flower. *sprays Faze with seltzer* Hahahahaha! God, that's gold. Originally posted by Ribbons: The Fountain I over-heard some lady afterwards say it was a cryptic and complex story. I thought it was kinda lame and very much laid-out. Meh.
Pretty colours and effects, though. C+ Sir, I think YOU are kinda lame and very much laid out! Ziiiiiiing. Agreed on the colors and effects. That part where he gets out of the bubble = phuckin' awesome visually and musically.

Notes On A Scandal was written by Patrick Marber, who was part of Chris Morris' Day Today/On The Hour team, and also collaborated with Steve Coogan on his early series'.
He's nominated for an Oscar for this. Bizarre.

Isn't it? A lot of british comedy-actors/comedians become writers (see: Charlie Higson).

Originally posted by Nixorbo: Is that the "aberrant sexual behavior" mentioned in the rating box in the trailer? This movie has all sorts of "aberrant sexual behavior!" Pretty much everyone is screwed up in some way. Teacher-on-student shed action. Teacher-on-student alley action. Implied blow jobbing... Then you have creepy Judy Dench, acting all pervy. :Shudder: I won't spoil it, although I am not sure a lot of PEELers are going to be seeing this. I think it skews a little too adult for most of us here. It was a good movie though, don't get me wrong.

I listen to Mark Kermode's reviews weekly, and he rates it highly (although his movie-of-the-year is Pan's Labyrinth). Maybe when it surfaces on DVD. On the basis of Dame Judy's performance, I'd see it.

The Horror. Anyhoo: Angel-ALuc Besson! That dumb guy from Amelie! A six foot skinny blonde supermodel in a short dress! Black and white film in Freedom language French, about a loser guy who meets a mysterious beautiful woman who starts helping him for some reason... He owes a lot of money to some nasty guys, and runs around scared but the woman helps him out. A little cheesy and simple towards the end, but I liked it because it's Luc Besson with quirky humour and some great acting from the leads. Spot the Leon reference! B+

Bah, you saw Smokin Aces before me, curse my poor friend who wants me to wait and see it with him, maybe this is a sign to donate my cinema voucher to him, mwaha.
Pans Labyrinth The bad guy was great, and the girl was ok, I think, maybe she's a terrible actress and I couldn't tell because of the Spanish, but whateva. I was expecting more Labyrinth, with an underground society and lots of hobgoblin-y creatures... and maybe the Lord Of Darkness from Legend, but he never showed up and there were only a few creatures.
That weird root baby was the best one, awww.
B! (B factorial)
