Good tunes on top of a well shot film....

agh can't stand 'The Birdcage' another unnecessary Hollywood remake - 'La Cage aux Folles' is the one you should watch (if you haven't) - sorry FlyMe

If you look further up the page you will see I have! I read a comment somewhere how much better The Bird Cage was then La Cage aux Folles. I thought the writer must be mad - so I watched them both on consecutive evenings. My memory did not deceive me - La Cage aux Folles is in a different league to the Hollywood re-make which I agree is such a poor imitation of a wonderful original.

God I must be blind! Apologies
Yes and I met someone who thought the remake was better than the original - I was lost for words.
I always remember watching La Cage aux Folles late one night on BBC2 years ago and it had me rolling around in hysterics. The remake simply had me cringing in embarrassment at Robin Williams.

Not a cheery-uppy sort of film, but compulsive viewing nevertheless. Shane Meadows top filmaker!
Continuing a camp theme....
Mama Mia on Bluray....
That was one good movie! Although I was pushed to buy it by my mother I found it thoroughly enjoyable. The music is wonderful, but what struck me more was the visual beauty in the film. The colors, the shots, the scenery were all fascinating. It is a movie that pumps some life into your veins. Very needed indeed

Bit of a theme developing here.
Jeff Dunham - ventriloquist. Very creative and very very funny.
Disgusting and quite indecent, i bet Mrs. Whitehouse had a few overstuffed moral tantrums over this film when it came out in 1969!
I rather enjoyed it! : )

One of the few italian movies that came out lately worth to have.
With the great Toni Servillo

In Bruges (2008) - Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes. Really recommend this film, lovely character movie about a couple of hit men laying low. Has moments of strong violence which some might wish to be warned about.
Maybe the end could have been a little better considered, but minor quibbles when Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson give such wonderful performances.
"In Bruges has more in common with a Mike Leigh film than any of Guy Ritchie’s. " from N2.nabble.com
Was staying over with a couple of friends who are into sci-fi/fantasy, so also saw the first ten minutes of 'Batman - The Dark Knight' in which I did find the violence unpleasant, and did not want to see any more. The 12 certificate is a joke.
Also saw 'Star Wars - Attack of the Clones', thought it was dreadful. For work reference fast forwarded through to a couple of effects sequences in Spielberg's 'War of the Worlds' (2005), found the film boring, but it does have some of the best visual effects I have ever seen, and also a couple of wonderfully directed set pieces. Didn't want to spend that hour again in the cellar with Tim Robbins again (which I sat though in the cinema when it first came out).
