Is Malice the Bill Pullman/Nicole Kidman film?

I used to have it on video and never got around to replacing it on DVD but it's quite good! Same sort of genre as Deceived and Pacific Heights - lots of those types of films around at that time.

SIAMESE VAMPIRE
Starring Emma Watson, Robert Pattinson
and Red West
.

I received a preview disc of this independent
film release. It will be shown at the next Sundance
Film Festival. I can't really give you any details
about this film, other than it's the best vampire
movie I've ever seen. Most horror movies are
a joke...not this one. With the limited budget
of an independent film you don't get all the
special effects like we're used to. But that works
to this films advantage. The story is what counts,
and it will scare you.

Yup - that's the one. I quite like it and yes, I always think of Pacific Heights when I watch it too. They're very similar - even down to the fact that the other part of a house is rented out to fund renovations. Both are good.

Deceived... oh dear. No, Goldie, No! I love her but that film is just pretty dull.

Watched Misery and The Hard Way. I love The Hard Way! Such an underrated Michael J. Fox movie!

I love Misery - it's one of the King adaptations that's done really well. Still nowhere near as good as the book though!

Watched Dorian Gray - the latest version with Colin Firth and Ben Barnes. I don't know what Wilde would have made of this, but I enjoyed it!

I have a vast collection of Rupert Everett DVDs. I think it's fair to say that I'm obsessed. But sadly this is one of the two in my collection which I can never watch again, due to the fact that he was shot and killed at the end. It's a shame because I thought it was an interesting and enjoyable film. Darn.

Cemetery Man aka Dellamorte Dellamore is one of my all time favourite Rupie films. It might have a low budget, but it just makes up for it in sheer farce. My favourite moment was when he was running through the hospital after shooting the Nun and his friend. And the Detective spots him and warns him that there's a Gunman in the hospital. "Oh. It's okay. Ya got a gun. Ya can defend yourself". XD XD Nobody believes he's capable of such things. I also enjoyed the shift in character persona when Francesco has his "breakdown" at the cliff's edge and develops a Gnaghi like state. And Gnaghi begins to speak, as though Francesco was suppressing his own personality.

Finally found time to Netflix again.
Some simple reviews, very simple...

Blackthorn
I'm not big on Westerns and this
one did little to change my mind.
The sound was great though.

Larry Crowne
Much better than I thought it would
be, but that's not saying much. I bet
LouieLouie watched this movie for
the scooters/vespas.

Another Earth
This one should have been much
better. They didn't really need
another earth to tell this
story. I do guarantee you will
jump during one scene, so hang
on to your couch.

Hook by Steven Spielberg on Blu-ray... I always thought this one was a bit overlooked. Hoffman as Capt. Hook is fantastic!

The Help
A very good movie. I highly
recommend it. Bet you'll even
cry a little.

recommended.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale
What a beautiful story. Cried my eyes out at the end. Even more amazing is this is based on a true story. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom.

Mysteries of Lisbon
A very long film and certainly not for everyone. I found it fascinating. The portuguese language is so beautiful. Of course, I am 50% portuguese, so it helped. Interesting that the director is actually from Chile.

John Adams
Still have (3) parts more to go...but the first two parts were amazing, which were the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence.

I liked Hachi too.


Midnight In Paris
I enjoyed this film directed
by Woody Allen. Not perfect
but worth watching. Rachel
McAdams my crush...
