I haven't seen the Redux version. I'll like it, in a pre-meditated way

The Painted Veil

Starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton.
Both play a married couple in Shangai, China. Watts marries him due to parental pressure and founds him boring and shielded, indulges in an affair. Upon finding out, he takes up a job in cholera ridden town and forced her to come with him.

Not sure what to make of this movie. I found the start promising though how the movie would proceed was quite obvious after half and hour. It's well done but there is no one scene or sequence in movie that makes you go waww...They could have portrayed the chorea problem in China better as well. The ending was certainly poor still not a bad watch and don't think one would regret watching it during or after the movie

6/10

Crappy, the movie's name is The Painted Veil

Wanted a review of that a few pages ago, thanks

Notes on a Scandal. Judi Dench does well as a crazy old woman. It's well crafted but overall I just didn't care for it. Seemed like it fell a bit flat.

Children Of Men.


Christ, there were some really impressive sequences, as in, mind blowingly good. The film as a whole is good but not amazing, though there is a lot to admire and it's very engaging stuff. Also, probably the only film where Clive Owen hasn't made me want to stick long splinters of rusty metal into my eyes.

Great film. Expected it to be a bit boring, with lots of cheesy dialogues. But it really surprised me. Brilliantly taken movie.

Bourne Ultimatum
A bit too much action and running around. But still very entertaining.

Also saw Munich on Dvd. Found it very boring. It was a struggle to finish.

Yes. Although, I wasn't best pleased that she covered her tits in every nude scene.

What was that all about?

Germans.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom - Not good

I didn't like any of the Indiana Jones movies. The Last Crusade was decent. Raiders was good at some scenes and equally woeful at some

Salv. Quit watching films. Come back to them when you're in your 30's.

Instead stick on the teletubbies. Sit back and enjoy.

Don't tell me you liked the IJ series, especially with your dislike towards deus ex machine and all...or does that not count with action flicks?

mehro, did you watch Taboo yet?

Oh, and my wife says everyone should watch the movie "Shortbus."

Trust me, you don't want to. It contains a graphically disturbing scene that I have only been told about. I refuse to watch the pic based soley on the description my wife gave me.

Raiders is brilliant. I didn't like the other two as much, but they're great fun. And what deus ex machina's in the IJ series? I've not seen them for years. The thing with the Saw was that it was full of cheap tricks, deus ex machina. . .and a contrived plot. Hence it was awful. It was aimed at those whom liked Cabin Fever and others of the same ilk.

The thing with classics is that very rarely are they timeless ones. I can understand why they were so brilliant for that era. Raiders fits the bill perfectly. That and the fact that I really don't like pointless action in movies

The new Casino Royale is a recent action movie which was perfectly done. If Indiana Jones was supposed to be a Bond competitor then it is a disgrace to the latter. I wouldn't trade any of those to the Bond classics

Hopefully the new Indiana Jones dispels all that

That's not true at all. I just think you're too young to really appreciate films. The fact that you thought Saw was very good, proves my point.

Probably nothing to do with age. I think taste is something you're born with (no silly jokes please).
