Confessions, VERY disturbing movie.

I watched Caroline the second times yesterday,I admire the film mostly because it is good to look at. Selick is as unconventional in his imagery as Gaiman is in his writing, and this is a movie for people who know and care about drawing, caricature, grotesquerie and the far shores of storytelling. In short, you might care little about a fantasy, little indeed about this story, and still admire the artistry of it all, including an insidious score by Bruno Coulais, which doesn't pound at us like many horror scores, but gets under our psychic fingernails.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - while I find these films enjoyable, I cant understand all the hype over them.

The first one was watchable, nice scenery, but not spectacular by any means. It would not have bothered me to have missed the other 2. I've always disliked Capt Jack, because I could never tell whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. He appears to be a opportunist/sociopath who only cares about himself. I don't remember seeing any indication he had any friendships at all. I like the description I heard of this character in Entertainment Weeky as a wisecracking Bugs Bunnny.

I really liked the first PotC movie, but it's gone the way of anything successful and original in Hollywood - birthing as many sequels as it can possibly squeeze out. Look at Shrek. Great first movie, but consistently downhill since then.

There's no harm in just letting something good be good, and leaving it at that. The only trilogy I've ever enjoyed fully is Toy Story.

Star Wars is a different beast. I was too young to really remember the original trilogy so I didn't watch them properly till the next 3 came out - to me, it's a set of 6 and frankly it just proves my point - the more you try to squeeze out of a premise, the more shite it gets.

There are exceptions! But sometimes it seems like once the movie guys do something well, they can't rest till it's dead.

Johnny English.

Enjoyable bond spoof caper. Natalie Imbruglia was totally hot :ninja

Last Days:

The thing is, Kurt Cobain was an interested (and talented, I don't give a fuck what the haters say, he was) man. This is not that interesting, and I didn't even feel like it was a great meditation at all. There were a few great scenes (mostly music related), and then a lot of poor scenes. I tend to like movies like this, but there's a movie like Elephant which is like poetry, and then there's this. The few great scenes can't make up for the rest.

No to Lord of thed rings???????:eek

Bride of Chucky

I can't stop laughing.

I've never seen a Chucky movie -- caught the end of this one. Best line was when Chucky was crawling back to the van after lighting the rag he stuffed into the cop car's gas tank spout. He looked up and saw a kid puffing weed and he flipped him the bird. The kid got a weird wide-eyed look and said "rude fucking doll."

No to Lord of thed rings???????:eek

I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings, after I got a little nerdy. When I tried to watch them initially, I couldn't get into it. I did like it when I most recently watched it!

Stranger than Paradise directed by Jim Jarmusch

Given awards for filming techniques and one of the indie ground breakers (along with Eraserhead, etc.) in which every scene a single take that fades to black.

No real story here just technique but still interesting if you're a movie buff; especially films by this director.
