Once Upon A Time In The West

amazing, such strong impressions. Of course the fact that the music is so well known and recycled played a big part in making it even more immersing (I think that one likes music better the more familiar it is, guess why there are always the same songs on the radio). Dragged a bit near the end. Some bits were hard to understand (language issue mostly). Easily one of the best movies I ever saw.
Yeah

class film, does drag a bit but I love the opening sequence and the music is indeed ace.

Orange Color Grading
#3219 posted by nitin on 2010/04/03 05:44:55
makes the picture look more glossy and clean.
Its not particularly attractive IMHO, but most modern films use it to appear big budget or show off their budget. Plus it then looks very clean and smooth on blu ray for all the "grain is bad, I need everything pin sharp" videophiles.

Saw Some Things Recently

Avatar - Thought it was great, definitely one of the sexiest films I've ever seen. The 3D was great, hopefully most films from now on will use it!
law abiding citizen - Starts off very well but flounders at the end. You start off sympathizing with the main character, but by the end you despise him =)
AvP Requiem - I was surprised by this as I was expecting absolute rubbish, instead it was merely mediocre. Starts off a bit slow and dull, but speeds up a lot in the 2nd half. I think they may have gone overboard with the whole pred-alien thing, and some things just don't feel right to me. Some of the creature effects are quite dodgy in places also, but overall its fairly passable.
Rewatched.

Spirited Away last night. Still brilliant. The creatures are hilarious especially the small ones. The train scene is still beautiful.

I agree with Daz.
Traingle
Saw this film Triangle. Awesome film, very clever plot and screenplay. Good ending.
Dont want to spoil it but it's very very good.
IMO.
Hmm

i think this is pretty much the point. it's how i interpreted the main theme anyhow; really liked how the moral shift between the two sides was spread across the whole film - the hero becoming the villain and vice versa. great movie
i saw freddie got fingered earlier. i'm sad that i will never get those ~2 hours back :(
It's Not So Bad.

I remember having a lot of fun watching it. Might have been the influence of the shrooms and coke though.

3D is taking over the world, even shot for 2d stuff will now use it. Keep those glasses.

Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones Review by that slow talking guy. It is actually pretty good (except for the very ameteurish humour in the "outside" sequences of course, that is just silly).

Can't see anyone mentioning this??
Pretty well titled IMO. 2/3 Tarantino, 1/3 high school teenage angst film with more swearing and better dialogue. Didn't really know what to expect nor how it could actually be a half decent film, but it was great fun, just well done and very entertaining. Perfect example of a Daily Mail "No stars moral outrage decline of society" film that does just that, in a good way. The little girl is class, as is the boss.

Yeah, I loved it. Seen it twice now :-) I just grinned almost from start to finish.
I've been lent the comic book version, it's much grittier and unusually I don't really like that. The frothiness of the film is one of it's good sides (but I'm not really a comic reader).
Trailers Looked Pretty Meh To Me
#3235 posted by nitin on 2010/04/23 14:24:14
so I was going to wait for dvd/blu.
Will see if I can catch it over the next week though given the comments.

I admit, I really wasn't sure how it would be any good. Not sure if I saw a full trailer but saw some adverts and was like "pretty meh" but then people started making all these comments and I thought it was worth a go (there might of been this cute curvy geek chick I wanted to take on a date too *whistles*), and well, I'd have to agree with the comments, it's just funny, sassy, and entertaining. You might differ of course.

has some decent action scenes, but most of the other stuff is meh. The humour (other than in the action scenes) didn't work at all for me.

Is there anything, anything at all in the world, that you really, genuinely like? Other than yourself, of course ;-)
