Nope, no Mesrine yet. I guess it doesn't really matter if I get to see it on the big screen because I'll be buying them on DVD.

They've been on DVD for over a year and a half now...

Weird that this was picked up in the US just this year (was released in Europe in 2008) this was on my list of one of the best movies of 2008...

Ya, it's still in theaters here so the states won't see a region 1 DVD for awhile.

Last night I went to an advance screening of the movie Another Year at the NY Film Festival. Afterward was a Q&A session with director Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky, Vera Drake, Secrets & Lies, Naked) and a few cast members.

Another Year (2010) - Older married British couple navigates through their quirky social circle over the course of a year.

Watched Clash of the Titans it was meh. I guess it's worth a rental.

did you ask them anything then?

finally saw this one

atmospheric but lacking in substance

saw the ending coming from 1/4 way through

films that leave you asking questions are good, this isn't really one of them.

I'm surprised it only had an M rating, to me there is one strong scene that should be for 18+

quite gruesome.

I watched Pee-wee's Big Adventure with my nephew yesterday. He loved it It also made him forget about how much fun he was having climbing the couches and then throwing himself off of them

I was too scared with all the hardcore film nerds in the audience.

I was tempted after when everyone was mingling in the lobby to tell the director that Happy-Go-Lucky was my favorite movie of that year, but decided to leave the old guy alone.

aawwwww I did like that movie a LOT too, especially the driving instructor

Partir (Leaving) (2010) - French drama stars Kristin Scott Thomas as a woman who after leaving her family, finds starting a new life with her Spanish lover to be very difficult due to the scheming of her vengeful husband. 1/2

I watched Robin Wiliams' Weapons of Self-Destruction tonight. Not technically a movie, but a feature-length standup performance. Unfortunately I have to say I'm a bit disappointed (though mostly because his previous standup dvd was so awesome). He moved a bit too fast to new subjects which made the jokes seem artificial rather than integrated parts of an amusing story. Also, some of the jokes were actually very conventional and could even have been stolen from other sources, because I could either see them coming or got a deja vu feeling after I'd heard them. Still, it was an entertaining hour and a half.

"Repo Men" and I thought it sucked.

It just struck me that aside from "Star Wars" and "Total Recall" or that type movie, I think I've not cared for any movie set in the future. Mainly because the future always looks bleak.

Enter The Void (2010) - After being killed in a drug raid in Tokyo, dealer's spirit refuses to abandon his distraught sister. Dark, disturbing and trippy. Unlike anything I've ever seen before.

The Social Network (2010) - The Facebook movie. More fascinating than it should be. 1/2

Never Let Me Go (2010) - Students in a secluded British boarding school discover the truth about their origins. 1/2

The Night Porter (1974) sadistic as can be but I still enjoyed it nevertheless. it's always a pleasure watching Charlotte Rampling perform. Dirk Bogarde was definitely a plus too.

Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien (2000) a great, twisted dark comedy thriller with the humor being too buried you don't even know where to laugh & where to feel sorry for the characters

CQ (2001) a 1970s inspired project from Roman Coppola. the plot could've definitely been better, but with a fabulous 70s setting, stellar visuals & Angela Lindvall kicking ass who'd notice a plot?

I used to own this movie. One minor thing that annoys me in films like these set in foreign countries is when all the natives are speaking to each other in English. That's not right.

Over the weekend:

Psycho (1960) - Strange disappearances at the Bates Motel.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (2009) - Autobots must prevent the Decepticons from extinguishing Earth's sun.

Charade (1963) - A widow (Audrey Hepburn) is aided by a mysterious stranger (Cary Grant) in finding her deceased husband's fortune and fending off his greedy ex-partners.

Grown Ups.

Paranormal Activity 2

Was okay....

Salt.

It made no sense.

Secretariat. I enjoyed it a lot.
