Hi there, I am a newbie in this group so I'll introduce myself. I am a French student in Edinburgh and I really enjoy cinema. Depending on my mood, it goes...
Hi Pierre Yes I am hoping to catch this one myself. It comes across in the trailer as a cross between METROPOLIS and REACH FOR THE SKY. Also anything with the...
With the odd exception, I find that any film which proudly boasts Jim Carrey as one of its stars is something best avoided. However, with a script by Charlie...
i love this movie. i think it's kaufman's best script yet. and i agree, michel gondry did a wonderful job. a very wonderful job indeed. and for the first time...
I agree with what you've said but not on everything. I do like this movie but I wouldn't consider him as a great movie. In the middle of it, you've got an...
I would agree with you, Rye, about The Truman Show - that was pretty good. Amazingly, I also liked him in The Grinch, but there the manic persona was just the...
The film Layercake for me was a return to the values of good old British 1960s crime fiction - the hero doesn't get away with his wickedness (Get Carter). This...
Things started badly for A TOUT DE SUITE when the grinning NFT frontman, pointed out that we wouldn't be having the expected 35mm print (being as it was stuck...
Your right I am visiting a whole different cinema circuit to you. This is actually one of the most crap British films I have ever seen. Plot what f****** plot...
Gawd damn this was dreary. Don't let the smiling faces in this week's 'Time Out' feature article fool you, because they don't crop up at any time in this...
Thanks Gary, I will keep an eye out for it. Although it sounds like the sort of thing that will crop up on late TV one night. Incidentally I am in a bad mood...
Well it must be something of a first (for me anyway), to be referred to as a Scumbag by a member of the NFT staff. Still if you run your festival with...
This being one of those ideas that looks good on paper, but dosen't necessarily work out in practice. The idea being take 25 of Europe's best known directors,...
what warranted the 'scumbag'??!! ... ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Sadly, I missed seeing this on the big screen, but even on DVD the power of this wonderful film is almost overwhelming. Many mysteries in the story are never...
Now I have to confess I am a little out of my depth here. Thus whereas I can understand all the subtle nuances, and the in jargon references, of a film like...
I have always been one for a weekly comic. It probably started with the 'Beano' or 'Whizzer & Chips', leading all the way up to my current weekly, 'Time Out'...
Hi Damien. I think the easiest thing to do here is Cut and Paste my complaint letter to the NFT, and you can then make your own mind up on this one Mike ...

oops.... I forgot to get you all to watch Monkey Dust this evening and look out for the sketch I directed. Ho hum. I'm a bit stressed. I'm in the studio now...
You are obviously forgetting just how appalling most British films actually are then.The plot was that a drug dealer gets shafter by his boss and has to find ...
Well I think we can agree to disagree on this. However I must come back to the GET CARTER comparison. Thus (normally cuddly) Michael Caine came across in that...
The idea here being to construct both a potted history of and general guide to Los Angeles, using clips from the movies with an accompanying narrative. Thus...
Miles and Jack are two forty something buddies who take a week long trip across assorted California Vineyards, en route to Jacks wedding. Thus while Jack is...
