I have that. I think it's okay, better than 21 Grams.

(Recommend this, it shows how one man survives poverty through his delusions. But if you have ragged nerves take a sedative. Joe Goul’s character is very abrasive.)

(horribly sick depressing. If you like stories abut human perseverance check it out. But made me sink like a wet evaporating breadcrumb.)

I'm going to see "Freedomland" tonight at a pre-screening. It opens tomorrow night in theatres. Looks good!

"Fight Club" is my alltime fave though...

Amadeus - I had seen it a longtime ago and decided that in Mozart year I should see it again but I didn't like it at all. He was portrait like a freak, like a loser freak and I hated that because I don't think he was like that. But the girl, his wife, was hott!

Disappointed in the bland portrayal of an architect that was a real nomad.
The documentary was made by his illegitimate son.

Wong Kar Wai's 2046.

Brilliant movie.

Just watched Eros a few days ago as well, which features a Wong Kar Wai story. It was the only one of the three I liked.

Silence of the lambs, but it's been sitting on my desk for a week now. I didn't really want to watch it but it was at the top of my netflix list and i forgot arrange the list after I sent back "The Salton Sea" which was good in an amateur director kind of way.
Now i have to watch Silence, but I just don't really feel up to it.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - pretty good. Worth a watch to see Robert Downey Jr doing his thing. I'm almost ashamed to admit I found The 40 Year Old Virgin funny too. The Constant Gardener is next on the list.

I almost picked this up today.

Instead I grabbed:
Capote - Saw it on the big screen. Felt it need another look see.
History of Vilence
Derailed - I know it won't be any good. I just know it.
Happy Endings

Oliver Twist, the Polanski one, I thought it was pretty awesome viewing.
I also got Pieces Of April which wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be when I read the synopsis. Still not fab or anything, but totally watchable.

Today I got Ghost In The Shell, Extras and Tarnation.

Tarnation seems like it could either be really interesting or really boring, apparently it's a set of home videos of a guy growing up with mentally ill parents and realising that he's gay.

[URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278731/]Spider[/URL]

Dennis Clegg is in his thirties and lives in a halfway house for the mentally ill in London. Dennis, nicknamed "Spider" by his mother has been institutionalized with acute schizophrenia for some 20 years. He has never truly recovered, however, and as the story progresses we vicariously experience his increasingly fragile grip on reality.

Cool, I might watch it tonight while my girlfriend is asleep next to me, snoring like a warthog.

I'm not actually renting it but I should also be getting Ask The Dust sometime today or tomorrow. I'm really not sure what to expect from a film adaptation of one of my favourite books, I'm not setting my hopes too high.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

I hadn't rented anything since the Y2K days. I get them from the library for free, and for longer. But the library only has Fast Tmes on VHS, and Mo stuffed apples in that machine, so I rented the DVD.

If you count the library, where I don't pay a 'rental' fee, 'Beautiful Mind.'

Fast Times at Ridgemount High... my dad rented it for me and my sister when I was a teenager. Yes, my dad. I don't think he had any idea what was in it.

Beautiful Mind - fabulous movie. I own the vhs.

Eddie Murphy raw - I have the DVD but haven't watched it yet.

I also have my ex boss's funeral service on dvd... which I also haven't yet watched. Don't ask. I'm in show biz. They tape everything.

My Dad's surprise was taking me and a couple of mates to 'Arthur.'

Keep in mind, drinking and prostitution are pretty bad in my Dad's world, but being rich is worse...

The Squid and the Whale -- which was weird, kind of like The Royal Tenenbaums, but with all the humor sucked out, used to brew a pot of coffee, left on the burner for eight hours, and then what was left was poured back in -- and Clue, which is a classic.
