enjoyed watching The Happening recently and watched Day's of Glory the other night about the Algerian troops in the Free French Army during WW2, both are worth watching.

The last I saw in full was RotS.

Last I saw in fragments(I jumped around in it this morning to catch the gist of it) was Prophecy. Mutated grizzly in Maine? Cool. Wink

Spike Lee's new film - Miracle At St. Anna

Not a bad film (which is akin to damning with faint praise) but as with many of his films it is a mixed bag.

Lee has an eye for good casting and an ability to elicit strong performances from his cast -- he does so again here. With the exception of the German characters (typical stereotypes) the acting is excellent.

The story...well that's another story.

No new ground is broken here (see the The Black Brigade or A Soldier's Story for example). This is not a landmark film, but rather a standard issue Hollywood WWII film. The opening is strong, giving it a hint of mystery, and there are bits of magic, the kind we have all encountered at some point in our lives and which make the film seem all the more real. However much is ham handed, obvious, and manipulative. Lee, much like Spielberg, seems not to trust his own visual eloquence. He feels the need to announce what we are about to see, show it to us, and then tell us again just in case we missed it. Spielberg did the same thing in Saving Pvt Ryan, and like that film, the conclusion here is obvious.

Both directors have a strong visual sense and style but they need to trust it and to trust us to understand what we see.

Religulous, the documentary, well a comedic documentary on Religion by Bill Maher and the director of BORAT.

Saw Amsterdamned and De Lift havent seen them in a long time. one of my favourite movie quotes :
Vermeer: What do you think she meant when she said a huge black monster with giant claws?
Visser: I don't know, but I hope your mother-in-law has an alibi.

Oliver Stone's new film "W"

Some amusing bits, but nothing really new if you have been paying any attention at all to events of the last eight years. Even so a great performance by Josh Brolin.

It's not the content, I just didn't care for the plot.

No offense to anyone that likes the Saw movies. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. :o

Totally understand about different tastes.

I liked the end twist the first time round. I rewatched Saw 1 last weekend and obviously lost its impact and some of the acting was more horrific than the deaths :lol: After seeing 5 I expect they'll keep churning them out until they stop making money. On the upside at least some thought has gone into a plot unlike most recent slashers.
