Saw The Dark Knight today . . . loved it.

Heath Ledger is superb (possible posthumus Oscar winner).

Just goes to show that Manchester United fans don't necessarily have to be smart or have good taste. It might be a little cliche and cute, but it's still a different enough, beautiful flick with great music that beats most crap out there that you probably watch.

Overrated

A film being overrated doesn't mean it's horrible or despisable. That's just you being a drama queen. I guess you believe The Dark Knight is horrible as well?

I probably have a 100 posts on the forum praising the film dating back to when I saw I am Legend in IMAX and saw the first scene of the film, it's pure class

Donado · 30th July 2008, 10:31

I saw Central Station last night, a brazilian flick.Wasn't too bad.

Two Women, an Iranian film....kind of random, but decent enough

Simon Adebesi · 30th July 2008, 11:32

Has anyone seen Persopolis? I have got it on standby, I am waiting for the right time to watch it. Apparently it is very good.

A little? In the sense that dolphins like water, fish and shagging a little bit?

I have Persepolis lying at home but haven't seen it. Might see it tonight.

Resident Evil 3. Great film. Brilliant action, utterly ridiculous plot. I couldn't stop laughing when that guy with the go-go-gadget fingers appeared.

Donado · 1st August 2008, 22:10

Saw In the Name of the Father after a long long time today. I'd forgotten how good Day-Lewis was in it. Quite excellent.

mehro · 1st August 2008, 22:14

Where exactly does watching movies fit in your MBA curriculum, you lazy arse? Back to the books!

Donado · 1st August 2008, 22:29

I have a course called Communication Theory which involves movie screenings every night, so fuck off

The prof is fantastic...he hates everything mainstream, has major leftist views but still maintains he's nothing close to a marxist, and his taste in movies is quite excellent.

mehro · 1st August 2008, 22:42

Fuck off.

I;m giving my GMAT next month.

DONADO has just completed his XII. Is it not?

rufus diabolus · 1st August 2008, 23:06

Finally got round to watching pan's labyrinth after buying it a couple of months ago, I was a bit disappointed overall given some of the ratings it had received.

I felt the storyline was a bit weak and it should have a focused more on the fantasy side which was superb, would have liked to have seen more fairytale creatures, still a decent film and some great acting from the young girl.

Funnily enough I liked the more naturalistic parts of the film and got fucked off by the magic realism bloxso. I thought it was a lot better than The Orphanage which went more majico bolocko and was worse for it.

Donado · 2nd August 2008, 23:34

When the fuck did vijay come back?

Saw Cinema Paradiso today...good movie.

Last week...how are you?

I would suggest all these movies

The Graduate
Annie Hall
Midnight Cowboy
Bicycle Thief

on par with Cinema Paradiso.

Spammy · 3rd August 2008, 00:13

Dark Knight.............

.........very good.

Donado · 3rd August 2008, 00:20

I think that's the first time we've both liked something, apart from Jessica Biel.

mehro · 3rd August 2008, 00:31

C'mon, Spam, you can do better than that.

Persepolis - One of the better animated movies. About an Iranian girl growing up in the 80s. Nice movie.

The Thin Red Line.

Good film, very beautiful at times. Goes weird in the end though.
