Whatever floats your boat
In the theatre, The Dark Knight Rises.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, with Oldman et al. As bad as this is, I can't say I was surprised or disappointed. I got what I knew I was likely get. Director Tomas Alfredson had no clue.
Anyone who's seen Alec Guiness as Smiley, has seen enough. Not to mention Burton in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, or Caine in The Ipcress File, etc., etc.
I liked it, never mind...Originally Posted by Vaneyes
Haydn Symphonies threads.
Has anyone seen In the Mood for Love? I stumbled across it and noticed all the praise it's gotten so I'm borrowing it off an inter-library loan.
"Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind." - Johannes Brahms

Xmen again, tonight.
Wong Kar-wai's In the mood for Love? Have seen it, and well, it's worth watching at least one time.
Yes, as my swift days near their goal: Tis all that I implore; In life and death a chainless soul, With courage to endure. (Emily Brontë)

In the theatre Dark Knight Rises which had its moments but was a bit mediocre, especially compared to the previous two installments. Overblown and trying too hard.
Otherwise Rashomon which I hadn't seen for about 15 years. Still awesome. I actually got that out because I'd just watched Sanjuro which I'd never seen before. Thoroughly enjoyable, I probably liked it every bit as much as Yojimbo -it's amazing its taken me this long to get around to seeing it.
Three great Kurosawa films there. Toshiro Mifune is fantastic.
Hit and Run
The Dictator
Terrible movie. Old humor.
"I wanted to make a caricature of romanticism. Perhaps it got the better of me. ”
—Maurice Ravel, on "Scarbo"
The Iron Lady. I squirmed throughout this. I was almost embarrassed for all concerned.
The innumerable flashbacks were a detriment (as they were in the 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' remake). What's wrong with an old-fashioned biography, I ask.
Revenge Of The Killer Coloraturas
in which a marauding gang of sopranos kill people by singing extremely high notes which cause their victims' internal organs to vibrate to exploding point. Gross.
