MOVIES

"She has glorious tits,"
wasted in a crap movie, weak and pointless plot with the director sleepwalking his way through the whole thing.

Belle De Jour. First time I saw the film I was 15 or 16 yrs old. Saw it again a few weeks ago - as good as the first time. Bunuel was one of my favourite film directors.

From the recent ones:
Redacted - Brian de Palma (recommended)
Hania - a low key Polish film (how a little boy from orphanage can change one's outlook on life).

Just bought a dvd but haven't watched yet - Kolya, a czech production from '96.

Ah. heard about Kolya but yet to see it. Tell me how it is.

Belle du jour really is fantastic. what an actress.

Recently seen that I would not recommend: Son of Rambow. Cute kids and sometimes funny, but pretty bland fare in the end.

love bunuel's los olvidados and the mexican flicks
paprika by satoshi kon is brilliant. vibrant colors. love the dancing frogs, the scary girl doll and the allusions to roman holiday.
i love the bos in belle du jour.
audrey hepburn in funny face
repulsion is pretty awesome, too.

poor mme deneuve, she had some wretched ps and looks really weird.

I agree about the bit on American Gangster.

"have you seen RED BEARD by Kurosawa? Its exceptional."

Ah Kurosawa... I remember my first Kurosawa movie, Rashomon. Well he didn't really direct it but as a writer, I admired him for that movie.
