Inglourious Basterds: A Tarantino film, but, I think you could’ve got away with not realising it was. A film set in a slightly alternate reality of the second world war. It’s very violent/gruesome at times, and also incredibly funny, with a few emotional parts too. I also thought that Brad Pitt’s acting in this film […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Film: Yes Man (2007)
Yes Man: A film in a similar vein to ‘Liar Liar’. Jim Carrey’s character chooses to say ‘yes’ to everything. It’s got some funny bits in it, but, it’s very formulaic – you can see where things are going to go. I give it 5/10
TV: Afro Samurai (2007)
Afro Samurai: I initially thought this was meant to be a movie, so was a bit confused, when I realised it was episodes, as it was a mini-series. It’s about a ‘samurai’, who is on a mission of revenge against the man who killed his father. It’s very violent, and our main character ‘Afro’ is […]
Film: Changeling (2008)
Changeling: I watched this on recommendation from a friend. It’s about a single mother, who has a son. One day, she goes to work, and comes back home, and he’s not there. There’s a bit of a spoiler here, but, not much – apparently, in reality, she gave her son a dime, to go watch […]
Film: The Assassin (1993) (Point of No Return)
The Assassin/Point of No Return: A film about a woman who is taken by the US government to be trained as a killer. That really is about all you need to know about this film. She initially hates the system, because she’s a spoilt brat, but can kind of fight, then she ends up becoming […]
Film: The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008)
The Good, the Bad, the Weird: And, what a wonderfully weird film indeed! It’s a very enjoyable South Korean action western film. It references a fair few Sergio Leone films – including the title that this film is based on. The action is very well choreographed, the characters are quite interesting, but the end is […]
Film: Revolution (2009)
Revolution: This is a bit of a weird one – on IMDB it’s listed as in post production, and as a ‘TV’ thing, yet, it was shown on Sky Movies, which is where I watched it, at a friends. Anyway, it’s a pilot for a TV series, it seems. Set on an Earth like colony, […]
Film: Rendition (2007)
Rendition: I remember seeing a trailer, or something small about this film at the time it came out, and I thought “this seems interesting, I should watch it”. And, it is. It may or may not be based on what happens in reality, but, it seems like it’s definitely within the realms of possibility. It’s […]
Film: Being There (1979)
Being There: A film with Peter Sellers in it. I was expecting Pink Panther type humour, which was probably my first mistake. A friend of mine thinks this film is amazing, but I found it very very difficult to get interested, or follow. I understand the character was not all there, but what I didn’t […]
Documentary: Religulous (2008)
Religulous: I think I misunderstood the synopsis on Lovefilm when I read it. It said something about Bill Maher’s commitment to never pulling a punch – which I understood to mean ‘doesn’t go for low blows, or insulting ones’. However, this documentary is rather crude (a friends described it that way, and I think it […]
