I wouldn’t mind seeing Morgan Freeman playing some bad guys for a change. He’s always too nice and too non-black. I’d like to see him play a pimp that beats his bitches.
Yes.
Just… Yes.
There’s only two movies I can recall him being a bad guy in. One, being Hunted, and the other being Lucky Number Slevin (awesome fucking movie, btw).
Also Wanted, as mentioned in the post directly above yours.

Unfortunately I’ve seen both of those, but not ‘Nukie’ do I even want to know??

Everyone should be exposed to the virus known as “Nukie”. At least once. Or maybe not. It’s like an attempt to combine all the wacky adventures of “The god’s must be crazy” with “E.T” and it’s an abomination. Anyways, here’s a sample.
YES.
Just… YES.
Saw Whacky Joaquin’s “last” film ‘Two Lovers’ at the weekend.
For the type of film it was it was pretty good, Phoenix was excellent.
Has anyone seen ‘The Story of Anvil’? Heard its worth checking out.
Caught one called “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” last night. I had been hearing about it for weeks, so last night I finally got around to watching it. Probably has to be one of the most depressing movies I have ever watched in a long time, maybe even ever.
It’s about a son of a guard of a concentration camp who makes friends with a jewish child prisoner, the same age. Movie’s very well made and really captures how simple children are and oblivious to all the terrible things happening around him. Very good movie and I highly recommend it. I doubt i’ll be able to sit through it again anytime soon though.
Eventually got around to seeing this Slumdog Millionaire thing. Whats the big deal with it!? Its pure escapism but people seem to treat it as if it could happen. Escapism is grand in films, arguably thats the point of them, but I fear this film just offers false hope and is an easy target for all the disingenuous or clueless types who love films “that evoke the human spirit”…ugh! It should be classified as a fantasy film. And a banal one at that. I do fancy Ms. Pinto though.

love the dancing at the end of slumdog. just out of knowhere… credits roll, so we boogie
rent “the wackness” just for sir ben kingsly as a psych dr who trades his time for weed. best movie i’ve seen in a while.
Hoping to see Gommorah tonight. This looks amazing good.
Last night was one of those bored as fuck, crackhead insomniac nights, so I watched Fritz the Cat again. Hell yes.
Just watched FREEJACK.
I suggest all and everyone does.
for two reasons.
The Post Apocalyptic City and Dance Club scenes Featuring MINISTRY & JESUS JONES
and Emelio Estevez trying to be taller than Rene Russo the ENTIRE film.
GENIUS.
not to mention it’s got both sets of LIPS in it.
Buster Poindexter AND Mick Jagger together AT LAST!!
aND EVEN ANTHONY HOPKINS !!
this movie is TRASH at best! a MUST SEE for all. fucking woah.
However, on a serious note.
IN BRUGES
is one of the funniest smartest and just fucking coolest movies i’ve seen
in a LONG TIME.
go rent In Bruges and DARE if you will, FREEJACK.
If anyone hasn’t yet, go rent (or steal) Synecdoche, New York. It’s the new movie by Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine,etc.) and it devastates.
The trailer for ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ is up on youtube. It’s been years in the making and is more or less my most anticipated film at the moment. It demands your attention - complete and utter.
Also looking forward to new Michael (Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, Time Of The Wolf, Hidden) Haneke film and James Cameron’s Avatar, which is supposed to utilise some ground breaking new type of computer generated effects. I don’t like James Cameron period, but I can’t help but be curious about this.
Coraline comes out in Australia soon-ish. I’ll see that when it drops.
Might give Watchmen a miss though.

Mrs. grmpysmrf is very excited about that movie as well. I nevery really liked the story. I thought it was kinda dumb, even as a little kid! The movie monsters look pretty bad ass though!!
Late,

The Sex and the City movie is on TV downstairs, but I’m too lazy to get up and turn it off.
Freejack is pretty dope. And the film adaptation of “Where the Wild Things Are” is complete news to me, but I like Sendak’s art, so what the hell. Might as well see how the flick stacks up to the real deal.
Just caved in to all the hype and finally got around to seeing ‘Little Miss Sunshine’.
All I can say is you gotta be fucking kidding me.
Dysfunctional ‘Middle America’ family drive across the country so kid can enter a beauty pagaent. Moan and bitch at each other. Alot. Grandfather dies. Decide to push on anyways with body in trunk. Finally reach pagaent. Realise just how freaky the whole damn thing is. Family then performs ‘wacky’ dance onstage. Gets thrown out. End of film.
I’m stunned. What the fuck was that?
Have no idea why this disposable piece of ‘feel good about yrself despite yr shortcomings’ hokey trash made such a kerfuffle at the Oscars. Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor? What the fuck did he do? The grumpy old man character that’s been played out 10,000 times before. Big deal.
Somebody help me out here?

No, make that 3.
Little Miss Sunshine was one of those rare films which made me compelled to actually go out of my way to warn people not to see it.
Generally I couldn’t give a shit what anyone watches - but it was so bad I felt obliged to at least do something!!
