i have done, that's what i mean. the departed confused me because they ruined and/or left out most of the best things from infernal affairs

i thought infernal affairs felt truncated compared to the beast that is the departed

For years, I've been calling it Internal Affairs.

That is the correct translation, but they altered the name for western release to save confusion with the Richard Gere/Andy Garcia film of the same name.

I watched "Hostage" when it was on Ch4 the other night and came away with a soft equivalent of PTSD.

Some terrible acting on Brucey baby's wife's account. But the psycho in it was trés scary.

Onmyoji - This almost reads like a television show, but it has all the really good esoteric; ascetic monk elements - done well I might add - sometimes they are overdone and goofy..but not in this one..

Human Traffic - was cute, some real funny moments in that..

Inland Empire - started out good, but lost me somewhere, I just couldn't follow it.

Maria Full of Grace/Favela Rising - Both very insightful/beautiful cultures shining through those difficult tales..

Sketches of Frank Gehry - Very interesting if you like art/architecture..

Love is the Devil - Big disappointment for me, I love dramatizations about artists lives..this was about Francis Bacon - too disturbing and violent; it was overly freaky- a real turn off. Full of cunty characters..Champions the side of gays that the general public hates, and for good reason. I may have to watch a PBS joint on the man to get past the posturing in that film.

Surviving Picasso beats that up - as does the one about Basquiat..

Watch An American Crime the other night.

Film was killer man, left me a bit speechless, really good twist from the start to keep you into the film.

Can't believe it was a true story, that pure soul

Watch it if you like those films what leave you with that feeling in your pit of your stomach..

severance and V for Vendetta.

Severance is good for laffs.

Actually liked v4v, was very prepared not to. Think I like Alan Moore's vision better still.

Just watched Hard Candy.

Tell you what..

Ellen Page is a fucking amazing actress.

Shes even got a little charm about her, shes not ugly, shes not hot.. Its weird

(I know i'll get slated for this but still each man to their own)

Ain't seen Juno, seems a bit, easy going.

I like those films what really hit you, you know?

Is it worth the watch?

datura · Post by **datura** » Fri May 09, 2008 3:42 pm

Prob not..it's a smart comedy, seems to draw mixed reactions though.
