I saw 'Hunger' last weekend. Its about Bobby Sands and the 1981 Hunger Strikes by IRA terrorists.
The cinema was silent for a good few minutes when the credits rolled, nobody moving or speaking. Quite an effect and not a reaction I've ever seen before.
Well worth a watch and a brilliantly done film. Not sure whether its possible to enjoy a film so brutal and horrible, but I'm glad to have seen it.
word awesome film |

Saw The Changeling.Was disappointing sadly.From the reviews i'd read it sounded like film of the year whereas in reality it was far too long and dragged on like a bastard. Still Angelina Jolie wore a load of lovely little hats so it wasn't a complete waste of two and a half hours  |

I really liked parts of Gangs-o-New York. I just think Cameron Diaz is pointless in it and the film would've been better off without that character. Daniel Day-Lewis is fucking awesome in it. |

They should of made more of the Diaz character, like her being DDLs illegitimate child or something.

I finally watched The new Bond last night - along with the 2 other people in the cinema with us!! and it was a bit pants to be honest - Daniel Craig didnt even get naked or anything :X
I did see the trailer for the new Star Trek film and nearly did a bit of wee - god I love Sylar man - even when he has Dr Spok ears and pointy eyebrows

I watched This Film is Not Yet Rated last night. About the MPAA rating system. Fairly interesting but didn't really come across as balanced. It's on google video... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-559517494445537267
Then I watched Richard Dawkins' documentary The Root of all Evil. Which is also on google video.
Part 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9002284641446868316
Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7619161192220036050
Whilst I agree with most of what he's saying, Dawkins doesn't half come across as a bit of a twat. People have recommended me some (one?) of his books before but I've never read them. I guess his arguments and reasoning might be more suited too writing than telly?
There's quite a lot of ace stuff on google video. It's like a posh youtube where things can last more than 10 mins.

He comes across as a bit of a twat in his books too. I agree with most of what he writes, but don't like the way he writes it, all a bit superior.
