Looking forward to World War Z also....

Don Coscarelli also directed "The Beastmaster", which I can't believe hasn't been remade.

Anybody seen The Impossible, the Naomi Watts/Ewan McGregor tsunami movie? Not bad but it felt like a really well done Lifetime movie of the week. While I liked it overall the sum didn't up to the parts. The wave hits early on, within 15 minutes and whole sequence is well executed. Some touching and moving scenes of separations and reuniting and not necessarily expected ones. The kid actor who plays the oldest son, about 14 at the time, stood out as doing a particularly good job.

Yeah, I liked it. I agree with you, though, it felt a little cloying at times, particularly towards the end. But that tsunami sequence is pretty amazing. Mostly, I was just incredibly depressed about the fact that this all actually happened.

i liked that sequence...the sound design is good. But the movie was boring as hell for me.

Saw The American Friend last night and The Tin Drum tonight. By sheer coincidence. I guess it's a 1970s German cinema weekend.

Great films, both of them.

Watching The Secret of My Success (1987) on AMC. Man, I love the 80's, yuppie montages of the big city. Classic.

I watched the trailer for the Tin Drum Criterion about a week ago. I was intrigued. I'll see it some day.

"The Revisionaries"

The most disturbing film I have ever seen. I need to get the fuck out of this country.

The Cranes are Flying (1957). A Russian movie. Very good. I think I fell in love with the leading lady, Tatyana Samoylova.

You could have been a part of genocide in 1960s Indonesia?!

Saw Full Metal Jacket at the theatre yesterday. First time seeing it and I thought it was pretty great. I would say that the last quarter of the movie kinda of squandered the whole things potential though.

Saw "Beasts of the Southern Wild" last night. Didn't think much of the story, but there was no shortage of beautiful shots and solid acting throughout.
