thanks for reply

what you watching tonight jackassfan?

Yesterday i watched

The Two Deaths Of Quincas Wateryell (Quincas Berro d'Agua) (2010) 4/10

Tampopo (1985) 7/10

The Lower Depths (Les bas-fonds) (1936) 8/10

Mad Miss Manton (1938) 8/10

I resaw The Princess Bride (1987) which I quite like, but I don't rate it as highly as IMDB. I've seen it twice and both times noticed that some of the dialogue is muffled making it difficult to hear what was being said - main culprits being Andre the Giant as Fezzik and Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya.

The film was filmed mainly in England which would explain the presence of cameo roles from Mel Smith and Peter Cook.

I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) which was in essence a revenge movie with lots of CGI effects.

Right at the end of the credits was an extra scene where Wolverine is drinking at a bar in Japan. When the bartender asks if he is drinking to forget, he replies that he is drinking to remember.

There is an alternative post credits scene where the final ultimate fighter Weapon XI having been decapitated is seen in the rubble stretching out his hand to retrieve his head.

Both post credits scenes are supposed to herald 2 separate future films.

Empties (Vratné lahve) (2007) 7/10

Old Men In New Cars (Gamle mænd i nye biler) (2002) 7/10

Lincz (2011) 6/10

The Ballad Of Narayama (Narayama bushiko) (1958) 4/10

It was remade in 1983 link. I saw that version in the cinema and it is truly extraordinary - well worth watching if you get the chance.

Tobruk (2008) 6/10

Ward No 6 (Palata N°6) (2009) 4/10

Tobruk (2008) 6/10

Ward No 6 (Palata N°6) (2009) 4/10

I saw Star Trek (2009) last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors who played the younger versions of Kirk, Spock and Bones were very convincing. Simon Pegg as Scotty was a delight. The actors who played the younger versions of Uhura and Sulu were reasonably good, but the actor who played Chekov did not convince me - sounded rather like Chris Tucker rather than Chekov.

Devchata (1961) 8/10

Hands Across The Table (1935) 8/10

In July (Im Juli) (2000) 7/10

Snowtown (201)1 6/10

Le Quattro Volte (2010) 8/10

Friends With Benefits (2011) 4/10

Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl (1998) 8/10

Potiche (2010) 6/10

Midnight (1939) 9/10

45m2 (2010) 8/10

The Housemaid (Hanyo) (1960) 7.5/10

I resaw Roxanne (1987). It is obviously based on Cyrano de Bergerac Steve Martin's character C D Bales uses the same initials

To Joy (Till glädje) (1950) 7/10

From The Life Of The Marionettes (Aus dem Leben der Marionetten) (1980) 5/10

I have seen this film twice and although very dark I found it strangely absorbing. I would rate it 7/10. The couple in the film are first introduced in an earlier Berman film Scenes from a Marriage though with different actors.

The Return 2006 8/10

Slow going but enjoyable film that is beautifully shot

When I Am Dead And Gone (Kad budem mrtav i beo) (1967) 8/10

Tomboy (2011) 8/10

Sleeping Beauty (2011) 6/10

Peremirie (2010) 7.5/10

The Spectator (La spettatrice) (2004) 6/10

I resaw Top Hat (1935) yesterday evening. Friedrich Austerlitz and Virginia McMath were at their best in this classic Israel Baline musical. (better known as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in this classic Irving Berlin musical).

I resaw "I was a male war bride" (1949) yesterday. Another Howard Hawks screwball comedy with Cary Grant, with Ann Sheridan in the Katherine Hepburn/Carole Lombard role. Cary Grant in drag was quite a sight

Girl With A Suitcase (La ragazza con la valigia) (1961) 8.5/10

Cars 2 (2011) 5/10

The Dead 8/10

Bit of a slow burner week this week

Really enjoyed this film though

Little Red Flowers (Kan shang qu hen mei) (2006) 6/10

Julia's Eyes (Los ojos de Julia) (2010) 4/10

For a moment I thought you had been watching The Dead (1987) which was John Huston's last film.

Skinning (Sisanje) (2010) 6/10

Crazy Stupid Love (2011) 6/10

My Tehran For Sale (2009) 6/10

Before The Revolution (Prima della rivoluzione) (1964) 7.5/10

Pleasant Days (Szep napok) (2002) 6/10

If you don't already know this, you need to read this Daily Mail article.

The lead actress of this film was sentenced some days ago to a year's imprisonment and 90 lashes for appearing in this film

I read about that before i saw the film 

5 Fingers (1952) 8/10

Everybody Dies But Me (Vse umrut, a ya ostanus) (2008) 8/10

A Beautiful Life (Mei Li Ren Sheng) (2011) 8/10

30 Minutes Or Less (2011) 4/10

Jackass, I've amended your link for 5 Fingers, so in my posting the link now works.

I remember reading the book "Operation Cicero" over 30 years ago - the book on which this filmed was based, then saw the film years later. A classic film. James Mason was one of the best English film actors and was always worth watching whether in mainstream films or less well known films. He seemed prepared to take risks in some of the films he was in, films which other actors might have been reluctant to appear in. I'm thinking of films like Odd Man Out, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman and Lolita. I remember seeing one of his later films Age of Consent at the cinema. That was shown as part of a double bill with 10 Rillington Place. Of the 2 films, Age of Consent was far more enjoyable, particularly as it also starred a young Helen Mirren. Not a great film, but is notable for being the last feature film from Michael Powell. At that time, Powell had been ostracised for the best part of a decade following the mauling arising from Peeping Tom, and I doubt if many established film actors were prepared to work under Powell - with the exception of James Mason. Helen Mirren was right at the start of her film career.
