My Name is Bruce

ARRR! Today be "Talk Like A Pirate Day" so I be celebrating with a bottle of rum and these fine films:

"Treasure Island" (1950)
Starring Robert Newton, Patron Saint Of Talk Like A Pirate Day.

"Cutthroat Island"

"Pirates Of The Carribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl"

The Harvest.

It started off well, but was ultimately disappointing.

Evidence that my mind is gone: I enjoyed watching this

King Solomon's Mines (1950). Though the story was average, it was well told as well as acted. Moreover, this was an absolute visual and auditory treat. The animal scenes were awesome, and the river canoe scene was incredible. As a student of African drum and dance i of course loved the drumming and dancing.

Deadgirl (2008). Dark, brooding, and wickedly perverted. Due to its premise, this could have easily been a sick piece of $*!+, but instead was a smart film that was almost disturbingly realistic in its portrayal of high school confusion gone terribly wrong. The depravity almost becomes background noise as the film moves forward, shifting from scenes of sentimental high school love to seriously incongruent friendships to the silly clicks and sense of isolation of high school. The plot itself is kept alive with plenty of twists and turns. The ending, while not incredible, was done with conviction. Ashe.

The Informant! (2009)

The perfect movie to wash the nasty taste of Jennifer's Body out of my mouth.

It's a hard movie to talk about without spoiling elements of it. The script is beautifully layered and intricately twisted, but Soderbergh's direction keeps everything running smoothly and absolutely sucks you in to the plot, building more and more tension as it goes.

Matt Damon gives what is probably his best performance since The Talented Mr. Ripley (SPOILER:Strange how his best performances are all compulsive liars, eh? , he really blew my mind. To go into what makes the performance so amazing would be to spoil a big part of the movie, but suffice it to say he's pretty incredible.

Word of warning though: don't trust the trailers. Even though there are some absolutely hilarious moments, it's not nearly as much of a comedy as the trailers would lead you to think. It's more of a crime drama that happens to have an utterly inept informant at it's core, rather than just "Matt Damon gets fat and makes us all laugh" like the trailer suggests.

Quite possibly the best movie of the year thusfar...at the very least on par with Inglourious Basterds.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring


Pure quality. Del Toro had better get The Hobbit suitably boxed off to live up to these

ITV last night? Caught a bit of it before I went out.
