The Bridge at Remagen, 4.4/5. Great score by Elmer Bernstein that I'm trying to find online, great acting, especially Ben Gazzara in slimeball mode, good action scenes for the era, smart portrayal of both the Americans and the Krauts... I'm glad I saw it. History Television's ''Fact and Film'' is a good thing in life.

The Center of the World - 8/10 (pleasant surprise) The Hairdresser's Husband - 5/10 (god, even the camera angles were predictible)
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - 8/10 (People would love this movie if not for the name Lynch. Now it's cool to diss the man.)

whoa weird i'm watching this on tv right now. it's good stuff.
memories (3 short firms, all written by katsuhiro otomo of akira fame):
magnetic rose (directed by koji morimoto) - 9.5/10 a good reason to get this dvd
stink bomb (directed by tensai okamura) - 8/10 cannon fodder (directed by katsuhiro otomo) - 7/10 suprisingly my least favorite and by otomo. interesting animation though.
neo tokyo (once again 3 short films):
labyrinth labyrinthos (rintaro)- 8.5 / 10 unique animation and fun and child like
the running man (yoshiyaka kawajiri)- 7.5 / 10 this was aired on mtv's liquid television
construction cancellation order - 8 / 10 nice satire by otomo
roujin z (once again, otomo) - 8.5 very odd concept for a movie. once again a nice satire by otomo with some akira-esque animation towards the end
oh and if i haven't mentioned akira before it's like the greatest movie ever

Have any of you seen THX 1138?
I heard that the beating noise at the beginning of the downward spiral was sampled from that movie.

Oh yeah...
American Pie: Band Camp 1/5 The titties are the only good thing about it, and they are very limited.
Into the Blue 3/5 Decent predictable action flick with Jessica Alba, it was actually directed by John Stockwell, Arnie Cuntingham's friend on the movie Christine. Okay, I admit it, if Alba wasn't in the movie, it wouldn't be worth watching...

monty python is usually pretty good. watching the War of the Worlds (2005 spielberg) AGAIN.........
4/5 - the changes made to the original novel plot do not really work, i think. but still pretty good, lots of stuff getting blown up.

Mercano the Martian (not sure about the title) - 3/5 The Meaning Of Life(Of Brian) - 5/5. Excellent Eric The Viking - 5/5 (a Monty Python movie predefined rating + that girl face (imogen stubbs the actress) is nice.) I've seen this movie several years ago on TV, i remember now.

Motorcycle Diares - 7/10 - Sorry, but this is just modern day hagiography. Well filmed, easy to digest, straight to the point - nothing interesting.
Elling - 8/10 - Though I know that it could have been much lower if I had been in bad mood while watching.

Cuntychuck, I hope you like Mirror. It's the most memorable outlandish piece of film I have ever seen. Not in a freaky way like Tetsuo or Holy Mountain, it's beauty and depth is unmatched. I hope I don't ruin it for you.

I can't say the movie is bad, just because I didn't like it. I can't say anything bad about the script other that some parts were somewhat simplistic and naive. There were no technical faults I could notice. I just don't like the hagiographic intention and I have watched too many movies to immerse myself in a story like this. But it wouldn't be honest to call Motorcycle Diaries a bad movie.

Basically what you are saying is that it deserves a 5/10...
5 being completely average.
A 7/10 would be a good movie, that let you down in a couple of ways.

Brief Encounter - 5/5
wow, THE best British film i've ever seen! This is one i'll definitely be watching a few times :) I'm addicted to the Criterion Collection DVD's!
I can't wait to see Mirror by Tarkovsky, I've seen Stalker and Solaris by him, both amazing.

If I would have to rate it for somebody with a taste similar to mine, i would give no more that 5, rather a 4. But I'm like a friggin' Ebert here, I try to base the rating on how well they do what they intend to do. And this one does tell it's story very well and shows Guevara as a pure and overly honest person. If I liked what it tried to do, I would give it a 9. Well, I didn't and I have the power to lower my score by two points for not liking the content. Still, it's a good movie.

- serenity 4/5 - wolf creek 4/5 - a tale of two sisters 3/5 <-- I expected more of this 1 - palindromes 5/5 <-- unsettling and excellent,best film I've seen in 2005.
- dark water (US) 3/5 <-- nowhere near the original but still nice.
- The happiness of the Katakuris 1/5 <-- utter tripe, avoid.
- Doom 2.5/5 <--Lack of funds was too obvious here. - Transporter 2 3.5/5 <-- fun romp (Luc Besson production) - revolver 2/5 <-- Another disappointing flick from Guy Ritchie, being with Madonna did no good for the poor git's moviemaking ability.

after watching a couple of the ghost in the shell: standalone complex shows, i got somewhat interested in the series and rented the two movies
ghost in the shell 9/10 - outstanding. amazing animation (animation around akira to the mid 90's which was like this is near perfect to me), good storyline, my only real complaint is that it seemed to end somewhat abrubtly. after watching it i was hoping the 2nd would pick up where the 1st left...
ghost in the shell 2: innocence - 7.5 - good, but i have some complaints. the animation style really isn't my thing. i really don't like cg mixed in with animation, but this wasn't as bad as others i'd seen. towards the middle i wasn't liking it too much, but it wrapped up nicely in the end.
the 2nd movie reminded me greatly of metal gear solid 2. batsuo (sp?) fighting beside the major (sort of) at the end of the movie is a lot like raiden and snake (from mgs1) fighting together in the simulation. similar premise of reality being blurred by technology. not really sure who influenced who, if anything.
hopefully i can catch standalone complex around the first episode and get into that.

The Chronicles of Narnia 4/5 Great storyline.
I would've rate this movie a 5 if the director did not show the "fake" close ups which were not necessary at all.
This movie is full of stunning animations which look very very real (much better than the King Kong animations) but at a few points in the movie you can see some close up's where it is obvious that the background is fake... I still can't believe why the director used these shots because they weren't necessary. Without it the movie would have been top notch!
