I watched Up, the Pixar film. I thought it was very good (in the moving scenes and great animation) but maybe not quite the masterpiece that some of the reviews suggested.

The Stepfather and Stepfather 2

Not that bad of a horror film, the second one was a bit boring, but carline williams was in it so I was happy with it

[MissKittyFantastico]

Harsh Times - have seen it a few times before, really good performances by Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez.

Yeah, well I think so, I love Christian Bale anyway, but he's especially good in that. Shame about Eva Longoria lol, she's a bit ****e but the film itself is brilliant imo.

Yeah, one of my favourites too. Love it so much. It completely changed my opinion of Colin Farrell actually.

2001: A Space Odyssey

It isn't the most entertaining of movies but in terms of how innovative it was, and the themes it deals with, it's a great. Very bizarre.

[IheartBB]

Inception.

Very clever stuff. The story itself wasn't as complex as people make out, but it's just the way it's told. Nolan's best film to date, no doubt about it. And (shock horror), DiCaprio was actually very good - the best performance he's given in his carrer by quite some distance. The only department it really lacked in was character development - I can't say I cared much for any character or felt like I knew them on any level (excuse the pun).

Les Valseuses

This 1974 'road movie' was an early lead role for Gerard Depardieu and is typically French in more ways than one. Two young criminals living out a dangerous 'beyond good and evil' lifestyle, frequent casual nudity and lots of dark comedy. I found the fluctuations between the more comic situations and the more disturbing scenes where the lead rogues sexually assault various women a little bit jarring. It would also be an understatement to say that I haven't seen this sort of stuff before in French movies. Allusions to the movies of Godard are frequent and I found the movie's weakest moments were when it dealt with political themes. A scene towards the end of the movie depicts Depardieu's characters stealing a car from a middle class family and then seducing their daughter. The daughter agreeing to it as an act of rebelliousness towards her parents. This was one among many moments of high implausibility that rob the movie of its ability to suspend your disbelief and shed some insight into the characters.

So all in all, a movie which succeeds as a dark comedy, but fails as a character study. In this respect, Les Valseuses is not in the same league as the great movies of Godard and Truffaut, but it is never the less interesting to see the object-subject' relationship between male and female characters cemented by Breathless all those years prior to new, unsettling extremes. But where that said movie gave us a genuine insight into the mind of a morally blank hero, Les Valseuses gets tied up in overly broad political motifs.

I'd give it a begrudging recommendation, if only for Depardieu's charismatic, believable performance alone.

You're wasted on this forum.

Milk.

I hesitatingly watched this seeing as I've long thought that Sean Penn had strayed too far up his own rectum (no pun intended) to give any performance of note and also with a hint of bitterness, as I had championed Mickey Rourke for last years Oscar. Anyway, all my misgivings were unjustified.

What we have here is a vibrant, transcending piece of cinema that has so much more to say than just a simple, by-the-numbers and routine polemic statement for gay rights and their plight. This film is about living; about feeling free to express yourself and find your own truth, and it's anchored by an absolutely astounding performance from Sean Penn, in his most heartfelt and playful piece of acting since Fast Times. He doesn't play Milk as a hero, but as a caring, funny and flawed individual, imbued with a joie de vivre as well as a passion for the pursuit of civil liberties. It's honestly such a breath of fresh air to see him so open and loving.

There's such a warmth to the whole film - it's practically glowing and any flaws that it may have simply disappear in it's atmosphere. They should have shared that Oscar between the two of them!

Oh, and I'd urge anybody who enjoyed the film or have even a passing interest in the history of the period to check out The Times of Harvey Milk on youtube. Absolutely brilliant documentary.
