Today's Movie

[southernsoftie]

Great film just finished on BBC4: OSS117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. French spoof of James Bond etc. Very funny.

Also source of new crush, Berenice Bejo.

Strangely for a film, available on iPlayer. I recommend it.

I watched INCEPTION tonight and really enjoyed it. Never mind the special effects try and concentrate on what is going on in the story!. I probably need to watch it again as a couple of things didn't quite make sense to me like was he still dreaming at the end? Not sure why the Ariadne character was in there either or maybe she represented the audience trying to work out what was going on ?

Going to watch that now, recommended by stepson, just watched the 14min animation on the special features disc that leads up to the start of the film and i'm lost already, where's me compass

I am totally thick when it comes to films, while some people come out of a film saying that they predicted the twist at the end about halfway through or knew it was so-and-so in a whodoneit etc etc I never get that far
I suppose it's just cos I watch it without trying to work things out or predict what's going to happen....

Inception was brilliant though, loved it, so maybe just watch it and try to make your brain a bit thick like mine it will actually be easier to follow :thumbup:

Agree OneHill, brilliant, will have to watch it again in thick mode......................hang on, i already did, only got one mode

Joyeux Noël (2005)

A French film about the 1st World War Christmas fraternisation between British, French and German soldiers in 1914. There are English subtitles for German and French speech.
Very powerful film with a sting in the tail of what happened to the troops after the fraternisation episode.

Just watched Tom Tykwer's 'Heaven' (written by Kieslowski). Really beautiful and thought provoking film and it had my favourite music throughout (Spiegel im spiegel, Arvo Part).

Its not a waste of time but I can see it wouldn't be to everyone's taste. I thought it was a bit cheesy but I really enjoyed it and it does have lots of messages in it, some not so subtle!

the wife is trying her best to convince me that avatar is a great film with a fantastic eco message. i ve not seen nor have i any inkling to do so. everybody i ve spoke to says it was 3 hours waste of their life.

I'm not a particular fan of Angelina Jolie, but this one got my attention. Take any of the Bourne films, throw in a bit of Bond and you've basically got the plot. Kept me entertained for 1:40.

Flapjack rating 8/10.
