King of Kong - Niche US documentary on classic video games high score competitions, Donkey Kong to be specific. Entertaining enough that it might crossover to a wider audience (oddball characters, controversy, a feeling that a lot of underhand stuff was going on) but good nostalgia anyway if like me you remember the 80's.

damn scarce though,good documentaries

Le Doublure (or The Valet). I mildly enjoyed The Closet and The Dinner Game, but this was just lame tripe. Suggest you all avoid it.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Amazing. The casting and the special effects I thought were especially good.

The tv actually had a moment of clarity and showed something good for once...just finished watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I forget how brilliant these films are. Although I swear Elijah Wood goes through the entire film, nay, the entire series with the same distraught look on his face Watching one film always gets me in a Lord of the Rings mood, so I'm about to watch The Two Towers (which has one of my favourite and most memorable moments ever in it:The march of the Ents. I love it. Absolutely love it.) And then if I'm still awake and not suffering from a Lord of the Rings overdose, I may watch The Return of the King as well. My favourite Lord of the Rings film. I love the battle for Pelennor Plains. And when Gandalf rides out to fight off the Nazgul, another fantastic moment. Anyway, I'll stop wittering on and go and watch them.

Oh...they're the extended versions...which means I might not sleep at all tonight (Ooh, that means I get to see the Mouth of Sauron...that bit is awesome...)

I love the battle for Pelennor Plains.

Yes the charge of the Rohirrim into the ranks of the Army of Mordor down the hill has to be one of my favourite bits as well - along with the bit where Gandalf breaks the bridge with the Balrog on it, and Legolas bringing down the Oliphaunts.

Well, Ive just re-watched the original version of The Fog. Still an atmospheric little film I reckon, although my partner thought it was slow moving.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Heh, watching Two Towers now (multitasking...I have the Chron in a tiny window in the corner of the screen. ) and I burst out laughing when Legolas declared "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!"

Anyone who's seen the song will know what I'm on about...otherwise everyone else can just look at me bemusedly. I'm used to it.

Aaaaargh. You're evil, Hoopy. I'll have that damn song in my head for the next six weeks now...

"They're taking the hobbits to Isengard. Isengard. Isengard."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

 

[HoopyFrood]

Muhaha...mind you, it's stuck in my head as well now!

And I've gone for it...my Lord of the Rings marathon. I'm now 42 minutes through Return of the King.

For some reason everyone had DVD sales on for fathers day, row after row of war and John Wayne movies but I did manage to pick up one handy 3 in 1 pack.

I watched The Island last night and wasn't really a fan, the original idea was ok although there were some major holes in the plot: that is one big facility to keep hidden and alot of staff who never have the thought of being a whistle blower?

There were some nice touches and the two leads were fine but it all gets lost in over the top chases and scenes we've all seen before.

Still The Island wasn't why I bought the pack, I also got Bladerunner and 2001: A Space Odyssey neither of which I've seen the whole way through so that's next Friday taken care of .

Watched The Last King of Scotland, which I thought was an interesting and enjoyable movie.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Went to see 1408 at the cinema earlier. It was...all right. But being such a staunch Stephen King fan, I couldn't help noticing all the differences. Like the ending for one, of course. The guy's supposed to set himself on fire! And the room just wasn't evil enough...yeah, some pretty weird things do happen, but I have to say it was a little too...normal. Like crazy people coming at him with sharp implements all the time. What I love about the short story is that everything just goes so crazy at the end of it, with the weird voice from the telephone and the melting walls. And it's heightened even more by the fact that a lot of the story is only told through what you hear on the tape recorder. The beginning wasn't too bad, though, and of course there was always going to be more in the film than the story, because 1408 is only a short story. But I do wish they'd used more from the story, like the crooked door and voice over the telephone.

Brokeback Mountain, finally. Good movie from a brilliant director. I'll have to watch Brokeback to the Future again now that I have the full context.

Finally got around to seeing Serenity the other night, really enjoyed it!

[Princess Ivy]

last film i saw was 'ultraviolet'. screamingly funny (though i don't think it was meant to be), i think it may be up for a raspberry.

I agree buying the Firefly seies when I get chance surprisingly good film.

Watched "Bring it on 2 all or nothing" (with girlfriend of course) it was quite good lol . . .

NOTHING to do with the exceptionally cute Hayden Panitere (Heros cheerleader to talk about type cast lol) being the lead I promise.

The Last King of Scotland: An excellent film. Forrest Whittaker deserved very bit of that Oscar he got for playing Idi Amin. The scene where Dr. Garrigan (the young Scottish docter) meets Idi Amin for the first time is one of the best I have seen in any film. Highly recommended and all based on true events and people.
