Saw this last night, and I found it a very enjoyable New Zealand film.
The quality is amazing, considering the budget spent. The soundtrack is made up entirely of New Zealand music, mainly from the Flying Nun Label. Recommended.

Tracklist

Hey Seuss - 3DS
North by North - The Bats
Anything Could Happen - The Clean
Animal - 3DS
Saskatchewan - Superette
Buddy - Snapper
I Love My Leather Jacket - The Chills
Down in Splendour - Straitjacket Fits
Point That Thing Somewhere Else - The Clean
Waves - Superette
She Speeds - Straitjacket Fits
Fish - The Clean
Spooky - 3DS
Not Given Lightly - Chris Knox


Do you have the soundtrack to that? I've never seen the movie, but I got the the soundratck back in the day and it's really good, even though the Flying Nun label were on their last leg, by then.

No I don't have it. Gotta get it though. It suits the film perfectly.
The Flying Nun label brought out some good stuff. I'm keen on listening to more 3DS, Superette, Straitjacket Fits. The film is well worth seeing Sarra.

I saw a film the other night, Tokolosh, about an Australian filmmaker from the 30s. Funny film. Was a documentary but using acting to tell the story. Really well done. Anyway, I think you'd like it or atleast appreciate it: http://www.huntangels.com.au/huntangels/

Try and check it out if you can.

Spider Man 3. It was okay, not spectacular. Nice appearance of Venom though.

Danny Himself 05.13.2007 12:13 PM

Hitch.

Saw it on a plane once and the cheesy speech about 'falling' at the end actually inspired me to do something, so I felt like I owed it another watch when it was on TV this morning. I like it.

king_buzzo 05.13.2007 12:24 PM

Hmm, National Lampoon Vacation 3 is on now, so that...

Odd, intresting film.

!@#$%! 05.13.2007 10:57 PM

the life & death of peter sellers. it was so-so (an hbo movie). had its strong points but they fucking "symbolism" truly broke my nuts. what do i mean by this... hm... geoffrey rush playing peter sellers playing other characters in seller's life and "amending" history. very trite. also some dream sequences or whatever. fuck dream sequences. they are ok used sparingly and only when necessary but when used ham-handedly they are poor substitutes for a well-told story. like "this fantastic scene represents peter sellers dabbling with drugs". well fuck that shit. make the motherfucker get high, dont show him in sgt pepper costume with an animated background. fucks sakes...

bio movies usually look very cheap, watered down and suck.

kill bill vol 1 is on tv so that's what i'm watching.

this one looked slick and had a decent cast-- geoffrey rush is no shit-actor, and charlize theron was hot, emily watson was wonderful, there were other nice parts.

it was the screenplay that broke my balls. bad screenplay = bad movie no matter how well done. that, or maybe the director took some fucking shortcuts. fuck him.

ps i just looked him up. he's the fuck who did "the reaping". well. no fucking wonder...

Everyneurotic 05.13.2007 11:14 PM

i don't know, for starters, can you make a person like peter sellers into a character? that's really tough.

well the man was nuts and lived through his characters (i've read that before), he was highly immature adn had a sick relationship with his mother, plus he went from star actor to make a bunch of stupid movies in the 70's, and he was certainly an interesting study in character disorders, the problem was cramming too much disjointed story with the fucking little "symbolic scenes" and trite narrative devices that killed it.

he was a sort of willy lohman is how i can best approximate it, though he was a lot more insane.

that's what i was talking about, getting that person and dumbing him down into a two dimension character, that sucks.

plus, add that he was an intensely charismatic fellow, a natural comedian and a hell of an actor and that calls for a fucking generation defining author to script this and an actor that can be intensely serious, unabashedly humorous and bearing a private disturbance just below the surface (to us people).

besides, most bio pics suck because they want to cram in decades of a person's life into a mere couple of hours and really hate how they mostly "fast forward" to "important" moments.

I watched My Architect last night which, for those that don't know, is about a man who is the illegitimate son of Louis Kahn and visits his fathers buildings and talks to people who knew him (he died in 1976 or so) in order to get a picture of what his father was like. It was a really nice film, quite moving and full of interesting characters.

jon boy 05.14.2007 06:15 AM

the very disturbing and compelling audition.

pao-lino 05.14.2007 06:19 AM

4 minutes... very beautiful movie, I suggest you all to watch it.

floatingslowly 05.14.2007 12:27 PM

28 Weeks Later

I loved the first, and although this had it's moments, it felt like the storytelling got lazier as the movie went along.

to top it off, the ending was horrible. it was as if they had a deadline to release the movie (and it was too long), so they chopped out 20 minutes.

it's a bad sign when you can compare ANY movie to Jaws 3.

that was a fake penis, oh i am so disappointed!

Watched this last night. D.A. Pennebaker has an excellent track record.
A must have for all Dylan fans.

Plot summary

Portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Dylan is playful and enigmatic.
