Well what can I say? Still possibly my “best film of all time” – I have watched it many many times, and can still hardly find any way the film could be improved. This special edition seems to be even longer then the special edition released on VHS a few years ago, but I wouldn’t […]

Loads of new stuff – most of the songs extended, plus one or two new scenes, and one or two extended scenes. In most of the cases I can understand why they were cut for the theatrical release, but for some of them I can’t!

Played Gran Turismo 1 again… I think I was a bit harsh on my judgement of GT3 – it is a country mile better graphically than GT1… I guess I just didn’t play it for long enough. Still not worth 40 quid tho.

Adaption of the Sebastian Faulks book (which I’ve not read), with Cate Blanchett (who I hardly recognised) and others. A rather traumatic story from WW2, based mainly in a small French villiage, it tells the story of the French resistance, and a British agent sent to help them. Very compelling watching though – although I […]

To be honest I was disappointed; perhaps my expectations were too high? Nothing wrong with it at all – but I’m also not sure where the significant improvement is over GT1.. the graphics aren’t *that* much better….

Wasn’t really what I was expecting, can’t say I really enjoyed it that much. I guess it was a good film though; I just didn’t enjoy it.

Saw Searching for Bobby Fischer over the weekend (On a region 1 DVD – my PS2 chipping worked!!!!). Very enjoyable film, although the friend who lent it to me led me to believe there was a romantic/emotional subtext involving a woman, which I spent the whole film looking for!! Going to watch it again this […]

A moderate film; not really enough plot or action to satisfy, and only one significant car chase in a film where 50 high-performance cars are stolen!

A very pleasing little number – Reese Witherspoon is suprisingly good too – but I can’t help thinking that this is a story and script which deserves the stage. But very engaging and funny, can’t really fault the acting or screenplay. Definitly worth watching if it’s your thing!
