Oceans 13 More of the same only less coherent and far more yawn inducing. Which i though would be difficult. Summary = rubbish. 2/10

Aenigma - Lucio Fulci "Carrie" rip-off. Notable only for terrible acting and the scene where a young (naked) lady is killed in her bed by being smothered by snails.

2/10

Danny Boyle needs to stop making films with Garland. I thinh he's just about the most over rated writer of all time. I've not really enjoyed a film he's made with Boyle and I also didn't really rate The Beach as a novel either.

Possibly because it was a pile of steaming shit. Garland can't write to save his arse. The movie was marginally better.

Once upon a time in China: 8/10

One of the best Martial arts movies of all time. Some comedic moments set in between the awesome action scenes. Jet Li plays the main protagonist.

Election: 8.5/10

A Hong Kong movie about the Triads electing a new leader. Great performance by Tony Leung(Big Tony) as Big D.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. You either love Wes Anderson's movies or hate them. I happen to love them, this one included.

The Life Aquatic was one of the least funny "comedies" ever made. Even by the unfunny standards of Anderson.

I don't think I even smiled once.

Much worse. Think Talladega Nights and you won't be far off the mark.

Requiem for a Dream
A film about drug addiction and it's subsequent affect on the lives of four people.

Great film but tough as fuck, not a feel good by any stretch of the imagination.

8/10

The Miracle of Bern

A movie about the German team victory in the 1954 World Cup. One of the best football movie I've seen. The story was very good, and the football was believable.

I'm just watching Being John Malkovich on telly, Id forgotten how brilliant this film is. Just had the bit where he goes into his own portal and everyone is him and all anyone can say is Malkovich. Got to be one of my all time favourite comedy moments. Absolutely genius.

Days of Being Wild - Kar Wai's direction was just as good in this movie as in In the Mood for Love. He seems to like soft endings for his movies. Really good music once again although not quite as good as ITMFL. A fairly enjoyable movie over all. Maggy Cheung looked really beautiful. 8/10

GrindHouse- Death Proof.

Tarantino's lost it. Too self indulgent now, mainly because he knows his fanboys allow him to. He can make any shit and loads would lap it up.

Tried to pull of the conversations ala Pulp but the fact it was all between girls, made it rubbish. Wasn't because I could not relate but that it was too cliched. The final car stunt was well done, that's about it.

4/10

Am gonna watch Planet Terror tonite as well.

I preferred ITMFL, Fallen Angels and Chungking Express. And I'd say that Fallen Angels is probably his second best film. Very underrated.

ITMFL was definitely better. Close one between Chungking and Days. Haven't seen Fallen Angels.
