Iron Sky - mad and sexy!

Chroncile

We liked Chroncile. It started off echoing Cloverfield in terms of how the movie was presented, but Chronicle was far superior with some genuinely funny moments.

It was a very enjoyable film.

Darkest Hour

This was not a particularly good sci-fi film. It was short and not very well done.

The Maltese Falcon is fantastic

Iconic: Cary Grant is just great

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-sec

Really good fun French film.

Charlie Kaufman is totally insane.

We're both good at predicting what comes next when we watch a DVD, so it's refreshing when you have no idea what's going to happen next.

CGI

The use of CGI (computer generated imagery) for special effects can ruin a film.

Flawless effects are so seamless that they do not look like effects - like Doc Manhattan in Watchmen Ultimate Edition. Bad effects have the opposite effect - like Gollum in Lord of the Rings - and alienate the audience.

Arrietty- The Borrowers

George Clooney films we like

1. Solaris (remake)
2. Good Night and Good Luck
3. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
4. Leatherheads
5. Burn After Reading
6. Intolerable Cruelty
7. The Good German
8. Out of Sight
9. The American
10. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

(Not so keen on: Up In The Air, Ocean's 11, 12 & 13, Michael Clayton, Men Who Stare At Goats, Perfect Storm, Peacemaker, One Fine Day, From Dusk Til Dawn)

Clooney got pretty good once he stopped wobbling his head so much.

Films to do with Japan

1. My Neighbour Totoro
2. Spirited Away
3. The Pillow Book
4. The Ramen Girl
5. Lost in Translation
6. Memoirs of a Geisha
7. Rising Sun
8. Black Rain
9. The Last Samurai
10. You Only Live Twice

We have many Japanese-inspired books that offer intriguing glimpses. These films offer some

Men in Black 2 was awful, can 3 be better?

Given how bad the second film was, I don't know if I'm interested in even trying the third...
