Watched 2001:A Space Odyssey last night. I love watching it everytime.

I forget how long it is...everytime.

I was rather subdued by it.

I need to watch Solaris (original like) again. I fell asleep the last time I attempted a second viewing.

Did you think it was all in her head or that it was actually real? Just wanting other people's opinion on it

Linky

Just reading an interview with the Director and he states that he wrote it as it was real.

On the IMDB forums there is alot of discussion on it.

Here's a half decent critique Dan 'o'th' 6:

Click!

I'd have done better of course.

I've got the Box Set of "The Wire" Series One to watch at home. Is it really "Crack" TV as my colleague here describes it?

[minute5072]

shiiiiiiiiiiitttt it's easily in my top three of drama television series (with twin peaks and sopranos). superb acting, superb casting, very memorable characters, highly highly ambitious; It's much more than a "cop/drug's gang" show; Each season develops new strands of people/work roles. Each season also offers closure, but continues to further the story.

As stated, it takes a couple of episodes to get into it, partly because it chucks you straight in, but it definitely rewards staying with it as they develop the characters/story.

Enjoy!

Horrible film.

I hate Spielberg more than any actor. Mainly for stuff like Schindlers list and his appropriation of history, art and culture. The man is most things I stand against.

[nightcrawler13]

Great film.

I have been browsing this forum most of the night and have consequently come across a lot of your posts. I have come to the conclusion that you are one of those people who finds it necessary to always disagree with something just because it's popular.

One of the best films around. How have you only just seen it, if I may ask?

[staggerlee]

Haven't heard that before.

Or someone who is often asked to lecture classes on representations of the Holocaust.

Regardless, one should accept and understand differences in opinion.

No it isn't. It's a glorification of sentimentality and heroism, which had little to no place in the Holocaust.

The novel is a good versus evil story using the Holocaust as a backdrop. The film is the same, but using Spielberg's generic formula of an unlikely hero overcoming stereotypical characters.

Se7en though, I can't help but chuckle at the bad acting from Brad Pitt at the end......It is a good film, and the first time I saw it I didn't find it funny, but when you know what's coming, Brad Pitt's acting is hilarious.

Me and Nightcrawler13 watched The Last King Of Scotland last night. I liked, very much so.

The novel is decent, with all films like it or not the director will have an artistic input.

Loved it. In fact loved it so much that we realised at about three yesterday afternoon .we were going to run out of episodes. I strolled down to HMV and bought Series Two

[ralph250]

watched "tell no one" (french film) couple of days ago....thought it was rather ace thriller/love story, if a little convoluted. well paced though with good changes in tempo and a great performance from francois cluzet. worth watching I'd say.

...and this is where it develops from a very good show to a great one; as they build extra strands to the story, extra characters & a new workrole, whilst retaining original character sets. where it becomes more about how your job/role moulds you & where as I said; it becomes incredibly ambitious but nails it.
