Network.   Should have caught this long before.  Brilliant film, loved it all the way.

^ yes it is--  you seen Color of Money  ?

Blue Jasmine

Woody's current one about a grieving widow who moves to S.F. in order to restart her life but as is often the case when one is depressed and lonely, things don't go terribly well, especially on the Barbary Coast.   A good if uneventful little picture, quite unlike his last two, and worth a watch if your a big Allen fan.   Not sure about everyone else.

In the past three days I've been watching lots of films because I've been feeling tired of music lately.

well if you're looking for old-fashioned occult, the 70s was full of the stuff; The Spell comes to mind, and for perverse horror you must see The Baby  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhkewFxg_tE

Far from perfect, but it might be the most impressive big escapist sci-fi action movie to come along in a long while. It's what I had hoped both Transformers and Cloverfield would have been but weren't, all in one movie. The plot's a bit clunky in places, though. 7/10


Somewhat different than what I had expected from the promotional materials, but since I quite like vintage conspiracy thrillers and heist movies this proved a nice enough throwback to both. I really doubt it's a likely account of what went down at the real Baker Street bank robbery, though. 8/10


Quite funny how the attempts at being darker and more serious than Raiders of the Lost Ark just end up making this one feel ten times sillier. Not without its moments, though. 6/10

I found Burn After Reading hilarious, but then again I like pretty much everything I've seen from the Coens.

I yawned myself silly for a good 90 minutes - only semi-smirking when either Brad Pitt did his impersonation of the hyper idiotic fitness lamo or George Clooney commenting on floors(that last thing made me giggle though). Other than that, what an utterly boring and uninteresting film! I am at a loss here. I've read and heard so much good about this flick, and I struggled just getting halfway through. Bahh   Great actors don't equate great film-making.

I either watched BAR and found it so terrible that I've purged it from my mind (as I can't remember anything about it), or I only dreamed I watched it (and found it terrible).  I'm fairly certain I did actually see it, but as I said I can't remember a thing about it, other than a general feeling of it being terrible.

Hmmm. In my experience it's A Serious Man which is the really divisive movie the Coens recently made. For the most part because much of the humour is very culturally/religious specific to the Ashkenazi Jewish community and hence went over my head.
