Due to a busy and stressful life (school, work, social life, sports..) I haven't watched a lot of movies lately.
But today I found some time, so I watched 'Guinevere'.

I bought it a few weeks ago for like 2 euros or something, didn't expect much of it.
And well, it's good I didn't expected much, 'cause it was a low-budget movie with a bad soundtrack, and not all the actors were okay, but the story is well known and always interests me. So it was okay, nice to see once.

I've also found the time to start with the new series, Camelot. Despite all the bad reviews and opinions about Camelot, I actually really liked it. I think -so far I've only seen episode one- it is still original and I love the acting skills of Eva Green in this series. She is brilliant as the seductive, angry, misunderstood Morgan. who seeks her revenge.

Nice ^^

I watched Gladiator last night. Such a blatant abuse of history, but such a good movie. <3 Russel Crowe

Yes, the idea of a Roman general being reduced to a slave was quite... silly. Among other things.

Still a great movie though.

Russel Crowe <3 Such a good movie!

I saw Hugo today. It was lots of fun. So charming. ^^ I loved seeing 3D being used to give a different perspective rather just there for kicks.

Had some niggles... like, movie set in France... 2 words of french used. Actors with English accents. Wha? But whatever. Was fun overall.

Watched Horrible Bosses yesterday! It was pretty funny, I mean I'm not the type of person who laughs out loud watching a film but I still enjoyed it. There was a good choice of actors, but I still think it doesn't even come as a close second to Bridesmaids.

I also made the mistake of attempting to watch 'Howl', which was clearly just James Franco's attempt at a Sundance award. I hate hate hate pretentious cinema, and this was disgustingly so. As soon as all the poetry started being chanted and there were weird cartoons interspered with black and white shots of Franco looking moody I knew it wasn't for me. Yuck.

Posted by Kemi on 12.01.2011, 06:52 AM:

Oh yeahh, Russell Crowe indeed <3
I also really like Gladatior.

I watched 'Nordwand' (English title: the North Face) with my favourite German actor Benno Fürmann. It was a spectacular, dramatically filmed story of 2 teams of German friends and Austrian guys who are trying to climb the 'Nordwand' Eiger. A mountain that no one ever climbed up yet, or came down alive...

It was really really good! Exhiting, sad, dramatical, good acting, convincing, captivating. I LOVED it but I really had to ''recover'' after watching this..

Been watching the movies on film 4 for Ghibli season over the last few day. Today it was 'Only Yesterday'. its been a while since i had seen it last and id forgotten how perfect the ending was.

Posted by arren18 on 12.15.2011, 02:40 PM:

I haven't been watching the ones that have been on so far, but I did watch Only Yesterday. I hadn't seen it before and I don't have it on DVD, so I really wanted to watch it at last, and I wasn't disappointed.

Galaxy Express? AWESOMENESS.
That's one of my fave anime films of all time.

FTDoADW: Even made a 3d model of the train for MSTS. I'll post some screengrabs here soon.

I thought that it was an anime when I ordered it, but it turned out to be a live-action movie called "Kamikaze Girls" with Kyoko Fukada and Anna Tsuchiya. A real off the wall comedy with embroiderers and girl bikers... Bad mean types riding motor scooters... I wanted to stop watching it, but I also wanted to keep watching it just to see what would happen next. Oh and the lead was a massive Pachinko winner...

It was a weird movie..

And so must I be for watching it.... lol

I loooove Kamikaze Girls! So great, and I love the lolita clothing.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 12.18.2011, 02:30 PM:

Yankees.... <3 XD Kamikaze Girls. lol

I made my best friend watch it with me. She was clearly dumbfounded.

I think my boyfriend would like it. :'D

I watched the new Sherlock Holmes movie yesterday. Going to see it with my boyfriend also. I dunno why, but it felt like it moved too quickly. I think I thought that due to the action scenes.

Posted by husky51 on 12.18.2011, 08:57 PM:

yep, lotta Yanki's in the movie...

Watched "Ghost in the Shell" movie again...
