Day 60, film 60, going with "the dressmaker",with Kate winslet,my wife's choice, seen the trailer and it looks better than I thought
"The dressmaker", I actually thought it was good film, didn't Think I'd like it, but I did, apart from Kate winslet in it There is also Liam hemsworth (brother of Thor) and Hugo weaving( of the matrix fame,agent smith) Hugo play's a cross dressing cop, very funny. Judy Davis(very good actress ) plays winslet's Drunk mother.... All in all not a bad way to spend A cpl of hours....not a bad choice dear !!!!!
Another one that is on at the moment is Trapped. Not Danish/Norwegian, but Icelandic in this case. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3561180/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Day 61, film 61, "Blackhat" with Mr Thor, Chris hemsworth. About a convicted hacker helping the government stop one That's just crippled a Chinese nuclear plant.... Darts tonight so daytime movie....
Wonder if there have been any films ever about darts, snooker there's been a few! Jockey Wilsons life story would make a good film
Just finished watching Band of Brothers .... Brilliant, I must admit I had a lump in my throat when they discovered the death camp (part 9). Loved the whole series though.
just got in, won 10¬1, and no I didn't lose,"blackhat", I liked, not a bad film, don't think ive ever seen a dart film, I have an idea about a darts film but as im illiterate im ****ed...
Went a couple of weeks ago with Mrs BMB and really enjoyed it. Today we will see 'The Belier Family' which a few of our friends have rated well.
My idea was two lads from different sides of the track so to speak Become friends, as they get older the poor one comes to work For the rich one, his dad owns a wood yard on the docks Near Hesse road,during lunch breaks and smoko's they play Darts together, the poor one is a natural, the other crap, There's more but I'm just working on it at the moment..
Yes it is. Based on quite a remarkable true story but as usual not doing justice to the book. Being Hollywood it overstates the heroism and sentimentality while omitting or downplaying less attractive aspects of the story. Although containing scenes of terrible brutality some of the worst aspects of cruelty were omitted in a vain hope not to antagonise the Japanese. Understandably it didn't go down too well there. Worth watching though.
Day 62, film 62, "meet your makers, victor Frankenstein" It's got James McAvoy in the lead roll, Daniel Radcliffe As egor, looks very goffic, trailers not bad, we'll see....
Was playing Frankenstein Pinball the other day, based on the film with de Niro, Branagh, and Helen Bonham Carter. I've never seen the film so it's gone on my list, de Niro as Frankenstein might be unintentionally funny
Been a few days, back to Kurosawa: Day 9 of Kurosawa: Yojimbo Brief synopsis: A crafty ronin comes to a town divided by two criminal gangs and decides to play them against each other to free the town. Review: Kurosawa borrowed from other films, including the atmosphere from Westerns to create this entertaining, action packed film. Honestly, I find it very hard to appreciate just how unique and original this film is considering how many times it has been copied and adapted. Not as good as his more thought provoking and less violent films, but worth the watch as it is a straight forward movie featuring a renegade samurai who tears things up with his katana and his wit. A character that has become cliched because it has been used over and over so much since this film. This movies legacy is grounded in the impact it's made on cinema and on actors. Toshiro Mifune's role as Sanjuro has influenced Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis. On a sadder note though, I hate seeing Takashi Shimura's roles in Kurosawa films diminish in importance and screen time since Seven Samurai. In this film he plays a small part as a sake brewer, who sides with one gang lord, and his rival (a silk maker) sides with the other gang lord. The unknown Samurai who says he is Sanjuro comes along and decides to lay the smackdown on both sides. Simple as that, fun to watch, not a lot more to it. Rating: 8.5/10
Just finished watching Frankenstein,I actually liked it, mr McAvoy was quite good, funny in parts, it is very goffic, very dark, I liked it. Just about to watch crouching tiger, hidden dragon, sword of destiny" trailer looks fantastic.. I haven't seen the first crouching tiger, hidden dragon... Hope this isn't a follow on...
