City on Fire
R
From what I've read about this film, and the clips that I have seen Ye can easily spot QT's inspiration for his blistering début. This remains one of a number of HK Chinese movies that is on my wish list.
Redux review and more in due course
Doomsday
R
Neil Marshall can do no wrong, well written slightly scary movies (to frighten the pants of less hardy souls) but good humour and a great story line - I'm looking forward to this based on his last ,movie alone
This Is Spinal Tap
R
One of the very best mockumentary films EVER (and no, thats not a spelling mistake) It is a comedy documentary spoof that's so realistic it had music fan friends of mine seething ast the time but they've since realised that it is a worthwhile watch - better on a big screen with a 5.1 surround sound setup.
Marti DiBergi (AKA Rob Reiner, a talented film maker in his own right) decides to profile a british rock bohemoth, and featuring timeless tunes and great humour - they recently reappeared at Live8 to great applause, proving they're still going strong...
Shine a Light
PG-13
It might be a roup of ugly old rock and rollers, but for those of us who 1. appreciate the film director Martin Scorsese, 2. know good music when they hear it and 3. will never get a chance now to /actually/ see them live, then this will be the next best thing to being there...
Art, music and film can happily live together and hopefully this will cement that fact (redux review possible, initially am saying wanna see it)
No Country for Old Men
R
Deservedly winning (some of) the oscars it was nominated for, this is an at times brutal film, based on Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name about a no good character finding illicit stolen money and the nasty man (Javier Bardem in his English language début) as the villain of the piece. Beware of the abrupt ending that hits you like a sucker-punch but is well acted and enjoyable and with a few (albeit unintentional) laugh out loud moments.
Cast, scenery, direction all top notch :) 4/5
Horton Hears a Who!
G
Strangely enough, even for a kids movie, such as this is, purely based on the voice talent involved I might just go and see this one (redux review possible)

I guess you're right about the cows.But there have been reports about the skinning of cats and dogs in China and using their fur on stuffed animals which i think is a very sick practice.

Bang Bang You're Dead
by CreepThis is such a great emotional and powerful film. This was a made for TV movie that I first caught when they premiered it on Showtime. It's about a shooting that might possibly take place at a troubled teenagers local high school, and unlike the movie "Elephant" this one gives us more insight as to why the troubled teens want to go along with it and focuses a lot more on their emotions. Do not watch this movie if you get depressed easily, because trust me this one is a downer. On the other hand it might actually help you better understand that there are always two sides of the story, and even though these teen offenders wanted to commit such a horrible act, they too were victims as well. Two wrongs do not make a right, and shooting up a school is totally immoral and unjustifiable, but this movie did show that the troubled teens still indeed had much innocence hidden somewhere inside them.
Ben Foster is amazing in this movie. His character in the film goes by the name of Trevor Adams, who was recently suspended from his school after he had made a bomb threat. The other teenagers would constantly pick on Trevor, making his life a living hell, but not so much after he returned to his school again. Because of his previous threat, Trevor had put a lot of fear into many of the students, which led them to kind of stay away from Trevor. The only person in the school who seems to understand Trevor is a film teacher named Val Duncan, who asks Trevor to star in a school play about school violence, something that Trevor seems to know a little about. There is also a new girl in school who seems to take a likening in Trevor, and even tries reaching out to him. But there are still things in Trevor's life that he can't escape and when another group of troubled teens, who also get picked on and call themselves "Trogs", start battling it out with the jocks they ask Trevor that he join them. Trevor's now torn from his decision between joining the Trogs or listening to his film teacher's helpful advice. The big problem for Trevor now is that the Trogs actually plan on shooting up their high school and killing all the trouble making jocks.
Watching Ben Foster's character in this movie I swear it's like you can almost feel his pain. He plays it so damn well and I never knew when the hell his character was just going to snap with fucking rage. You can tell that his character in the movie was really a good kid at heart, but sadly the people around him just made his life a living hell (which he records on his video camera by the way). The other troubled teens also play a very good part, and believe it or not, you might actually find yourself looking up to these kids at certain points. Everything that these kids go through is just so sad. Again, this movie is very depressing but you should all check it out if you can.
By the way, this movie is actually based on a school play and they show it to students in many, many high schools. There is a great message that's told through the play, as well as in the movie.Hey, you should really see this!
