Inception - far too complicated and over thought.

Lol, I didn't like the Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink (Molly Ringwald was charming in both of them though).

St. Elmo's Fire, I have yet to see, but I know it was directed by Joel Schumacher whose movies generally do nothing for me.

I really like that movie. But it's probably not awards-worthy. 2004/5 wasn't great in terms of film - Brokeback Mountain is terrifically overrated.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was shafted, though. From that year I also loved The Ladykillers, Mean Girls, Kill Bill 2, Shaun of the Dead, Sin City... mostly comedies/actions that get overlooked.

I totally forgot that was from John Hughes. Probably his best movie.

I haven't seen Home Alone in years, lol.

A little known fact about Fast Times is that the screenplay was jointly written by Cameron Crowe (who had yet to try his hand at directing) and Clueless writer Amy Heckerling.

You had me looking through the films of 2005 there. Didn't go back to 2004 but some of my favourites from '05 would have been Grizzly Man, A History of Violence, Serenity, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I have a soft spot for The New World.

I've been meaning to see the New World. Apparently they use Wagner's Rhinegold prelude in the soundtrack. Nice.

It does indeed. Malick's movies really divide opinion, but I always find myself being bewitched by the visuals and dreamlike quality of his movies. They're just always extremely beautiful pieces of cinema.

Terence Malick, that old adversary of notoriously harsh film critic Pauline Kael. I thought Badlands was a good dark comedy, even if it was similar to Bonnie and Clyde. I enjoyed the Thin Red Line too.

I think you either love or hate his work; there's no middle ground.

The Human Centipede is a strange one. It has all the sickly gore with it, but the Americans build this up in their usual way, which generally turns out to be a disappointment. Watch with an open mind and see what you think.



The worse scene for me was this:

Spoiler:

When the guy at the front had to take a crap in the mouth of the girl that was stitched onto his arse.


Now that was sick!!!

I don't understand the appeal of these movies. I'd rather be stuck on a broken down train with half the teenage inbred underclass of Sunderland than sit through another torture porn flick.

Oh I've questioned myself a few times when I've watched one of these type movies.

The Human Centipede actually made me quite violently ill whilst watching the scene mentioned in Spoilers above. ****ing VILE!

I didn't feel well for days just thinking about it.

It was vile, I had it on my mind for days too.

Spoiler:

It really was the bottom of the pit material, one I guess I would never had imagined would ever appear on the big screen.

Predators - not enough Predator kills or action or suspense or anything really
Inception - dull story and flat characters despite great idea for film

It contradicted itself being a reboot and being Bond's first adventure when it still had Dame Judy Dench in it.

And it missed a trick with a 2006 release. Imagine billboard reading "2007" emphasising the '007'.

I dislike a lot of mainstream films because they're overrated.

I'm just not convinced by Daniel Craig yet as Bond. True, he does channel Bonds brazen and brutal style, but I can't see the charm or playfulness yet. He's too cold really for the role and he's nowhere near Fleming's Bond, in my opinion anyway. The actor that was closest in tone to the Bond of the books was Timoty Dalton.
