Layer Cake:- Very good suprising gangster movie, that doesn't follow the same usual cliched path like many other wannabie Guy Ritchie gangster flicks.

Contantine- Bad bad bad bad, a very bad rip off to The Prophecy with bad acting, bad story, and very cheesy weapons against evil.

Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas - Awesome movie.
R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson

Sin City.
Withnail & I.

and incase you don't know, the great Hunter S. Thompson killed himself in his aspen home in February,
Watch out for 2 cameo's in Fear and Loathing.

lock, stock and two smoking barrels -not as funny as advertised, though a good movie none the less.

hitchikers guide to the galaxies. - different than I expected, pleasingly entertaining on the level of Mars Attacks.
I enjoyed both of them.

See Rushmore and The Graduate now!
The Longest Yard(2005 version)was funny until *spoiler* caretaker died, then it just dragged and draggged.
He died in The Original as well, but at least it didn't drag after.

I saw Lord Of War last night:
here are my thoughts:
Based on actual events, Nicholas Cage stars as Yuri Orlov, a globetrotting arms dealer, while trying to stay one step ahead of a relentless interpol agent.
While nothing great, the film is quite good, with good performances from the cast.
I'd say, don't listen to the critics, go see it.
It probably should have been trimmed by at least 15 minutes, since it runs at a long 122 minutes, but it's rarely ever boring.

I watched The Life Aquatic last night. Not really sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but can't see myself watching it again. Had a similar reaction to Tenenbaums.

Well I neither loved it nor hated it... it was just a reasonable way to pass a couple of hours. Must check out the extras though as they look quite good.

I finally saw Emily Rose. Pretty good film if you want to waste two hours.

My Son and I both watched it.  It was not as scary as hoped, but both of us thought it was very good film.  Not being as graphic and devilish with the head-twist, etc...was a bit of a letdown though.  I was hoping for a movie that scared the crap outta me.

Everything Is Illuminated(Schrieber, 05): ***1/2/****

Scream 3

Bourne Supremacy

Electra Glide In Blue -

A very unusual 70s cop movie, in a way that it's very homo erotic rather than the hard boiled cops that they usually had in the 70s, still good though.

I watched the following movies with my nephew over the weekend.

Evil Dead II -

Excellent as ever after all these years, still funny but not as extreme as the first Evil Dead.

Army of Darkness -

IMO this will never be part of the Evil Dead series as this was aimed more at the kids market like everything else was in the early 90s and the same thing is happening now.  It was okay but still not as good as ED or ED II.

Blade -

Still cool, and the beginning is still excellent, but with bad CGI effects.

Blade II -

Even better than the first film.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show -

Funny as ever, Tim Curry is brilliantly cast as Frank.

Misery -

Like Silence of the Lambs this movie verges on campness even when it's supposed to be seriously scary but you end up laughing, like the scene where he uses his leg to trip her up.

Psycho -

The way horror movies should always be made, where everything is brightly lit, no false jumps, no messing, when something happens it happens, out of all those modern films he saw above, the only scene that made him jump was when the detective.....

Bubba Ho Tep -

Still funny, And Campbell and Davis are excellent in their rolls as Elvis and JFK.

Go Floyd!
