I love this film. Salles - the director of the critically acclaimed Behind The Sun, which is doing the rounds at the moment (and which I haven't yet seen) -...
I went to see this yesterday. I thought the film was OK, but nothing really special. As you say, most of the characters are caricatures, although I didn't...
I originally saw this in the cinema and have now revisited it on DVD. Having just seen About A Boy (see previous posting), I think this is a far better film,...
Hi,everybody! I´m glad to be a new member from your group! First, sorry for my english, I´m learning currently and have some problems to translate and...
Hello, Antigona, and welcome to the Group. It's strange that you should particularly mention Amenabar's film "The Others", because I just watched it on DVD...
Now that I've seen this film again (on DVD), I think it's a masterpiece. From the brilliant Billy Bob, to the superb black and white photography, and the...
A simply beautiful film. Davies is a poet of the cinema. This film, which has no conventional plot, portrays the life of a Liverpool community in the mid-50s,...
So there is life in the old Dogme yet (alright I would have used that line whatever the film had been like). ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS, is the latest, in what is...
Certainly a very good comedy, with excellent performances from Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe, and a sharp script from Billy Wilder and I A L...
Another great film from the master himself, Ken Loach. How does he do it? He makes it look so easy and effortless. Yet his directing skills are the envy of...
This film at first left me feeling slightly cheated by the ending (which I shall not give away, in case you have not seen it), but, like many good films, it...
... acclaimed ... I ... his ... to ... Hi - my first time posting here, I just joined. Anyway I wanted to say that I recently saw this film (Central Station)...
Agreed! Kes is one of my all-time faves, for sure. It's the only film of Ken Loach's that I've watched so far though, I'll have to watch some of his others....
I'm assuming it's OK to talk about foreign films here? If not please tell me :-) I was thinking of an Iranian film I had seen (The Apple) - this film was...
Yes, comments about films from any country are welcome. I haven't seen The Apple, but I am currently watching Blackboards, by - I think - the same director....
An interesting depiction of the war-time code breakers of Bletchly Park. Tom Stoppard's screenplay cleverly conveys the complexities of how the Enigma machine...
So what sort of name is Stockyard anyway ? Surely Ms Channing's parents could have given her a normal name like: Storagespace or Containeroom. How about...
I thought that this was a pretty good film. The trouble with any film based on fact is always a question of how accurate it should be, and how much the...

Mike, Wouldn't have thought that this rubbishy film was worth so many words. "Emminently forgettable" would be how I'd sum it up. Peter...

This is a gritty and sometimes brutal exploration of two young women from the underbelly of life who find themselves on the run from the law. A translation...

I went to see panic room on Sunday and thought that it was a terrific piece of film making. The trailer and the film itself actually had little to do with each...
The 20 year old Iranian director, Makhmalbaf, shows maturity and skill in this film. It tells the story of two itinerant teachers, near the border of Iraq, in...
I've just seen this film for the second time, and would generally agree with your comments. I enjoyed it, and thought it was a good genre piece. It is...

I think that your remarks about Hitchcock are very true. As the title sequence began (it is an amazing piece of graphic work by the way, I found myself ...
On paper it looked like I was in for a good enjoyable old-fashioned Hollywood comedy, with a touch of class and some good jokes. I mean, it had Julia Roberts...
I enjoyed this film, even though I accept that it fails to live up to its aspirations. Tom Tykwer, whose first film, Run Lola Run, was such a success, here...
