Anvil! The Story of Anvil - good, not as good as the hype.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox - if you like Wes Anderson, as I do, you'll love it. If you hate Anderson, it's more of the same.

An Education - one of the few movies I have really enjoyed of late (LOVED all the vintage clothing too!).

It's Complicated - not as funny as I thought it was going to be but an enjoyable enough way to spend a few hours.

"Wind Chill". Some horror flick from a year or two back, not terribly badly acted (for a horror) but ultimately not very satisfying. 5/10.

Sherlock Holmes - the recent one - The worst movie I've watched this year (I can't remember if District 9 was this year or last, but that's the worst thing I've ever seen). Amelia was worse, but I turned that one off. Pure garbage.

Starting a week's run of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo -- a nine-reel Swedish mystery that keeps up a high level of interest thruout. Ask at your local theatre for a complimentary press-on dragon tattoo, such as the one I am not wearing.

Why do you ask?
The last movie I saw was Fantastic Mr. Fox. I really really expected more from that one. It was entertaining, but I thought there would be more action, not long sequences of heart to heart animal dialogue.:eusa_booh

Artistically, I thought the movie was stunning looking, one of my favorite stop motion films in terms of style and effects, but still expected more.

I'd probably watch it again to see if I completely missed the point, but it'll be a while before that happens.

P.S Did I say I expected more? lol

"The Lovely Bones" directed by Peter Jackson. This movie had a great cast and a good premise but it was about 40 minutes too long. I don't like it when directors beat you over the head with imagery to make a point that has already been made. Skip this one!

Just saw this at the Cygnet Cinema in Como, I recognised the Scene of the "Ariel Ballet" as it was copied by Ken Russell in his 1971 Movie "The Boyfriend"

Nine - a really boring movie even with the all star cast - forgettable (bordering on tuneless) songs and a lot of tasteless dance routines that were, I have to say, quite vulgar....

Fritz Lang's "The Big Heat" last night on TCM. It is always a fun one to watch. I love the suits, the dresses, the cars, the clubs, the exterior and interiors shots of that time period. A beautiful time.

"As You Like It" with Laurence Olivier

I enjoyed it - but I was baffled by the opossum. Why an opossum? All these little British animals (in species if not accent) and farmers and landscapes and then an interloper!

That one puzzled me a bit, wasn't sure if you have them in the UK. Though, he was pretty funny. The REAL head scratcher was "beagles love blueberries". haha

Nope - no opossums! I think squirrels are the only thing that fill the tree-dwelling mammal niche.

I was tempted to get some blueberries and go to the park to find a beagle and test the theory.
