Yeah I've been here for over two years now and still dont understand a word of french. I'm either stupid or ignorant. Probably both lol.
I watched Iron Man today. I thought it was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it on the same level that I enjoyed Dark Knight.

First was Zack and Miri make a porno. Meh, it had it's moments and Seth Rogan is so funny but it was just another comedy film, nothing that went above and beyond movies like super bad, pineapple express, step brothers, etc.
Second, yes i know i never seen this until now but Good will hunting. Love it, what an amazing story and what a cast....

I DID warn you here we had a whole thread about that film! Also Steala says we discussed it in chat. -1 Karma points for you. |

Sweeny Todd.....God it was shite. I also forgot how boring my friends in the UK are. Your friends in the UK must be rubbing off on you - you called it "shite", and for that I am awarding you back the karma point which Woo so callously stripped you of. I've never seen the film, but will avoid it now thanks to Knoxville's critique. |

Watched W - a biopic on George Bush. It was non-linear to the extreme and largely pointless.

Oh god I should of raked my eyes out last night. I watched Spiderman 3 and it was one of the most painful things to sit through.
I see the whole Emo thing going on and as I said to Woo in chat, Maguire even wears fucking eyeliner, seriously wtf? The biggest wtf moment of the whole film though is when Parker is walking down a street clicking his fingers and winking at women. Apparently a symbiot makes you do that...
Eddie Brock must of got lucky.
-5 out of 5.

Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest.
This film is always ranked as one of the best thrillers of all and you know why? Because it is. Really it's fantastic and up there with Vertigo, Rear Window and Psycho was one of Hitchcock's greatest films. Cary Grant is in perfect form as the everyman who gets mistaken to for a secret agent by a couple of gangsters who are out to kill him. He then gets framed for the killing of a UN worker and ends up having to track down the real secret agent before the police arrest him and the gangsters kill him. The only problem? The secret agent doesn't actually exist.
It's a wonderful picture full of great edge-of-your-seat moments as demonstrated by the films most famous scene, in fact it has to rank right up there with one of cinemas best scenes ever.
Cary Grant has arranged to meet the secret agent by the side of a lonely road in the middle of nowhere. For what seems like 10 minutes you are left as confused and nervous about the meeting as the protagonist is. Eventually a car drives down the road, but keeps on going. Then a second does the same. A third car pulls up to the road, however this one stops and out steps a suspicious looking man who stands on the opposite side of the road. Grant slowly walks across to him, nervous about the meeting but it turns out that the man is just waiting for the bus. Then the bus pulls up 'right on schedule' but before the man gets on he points to a crop duster in the sky and says "That's odd....that crop duster is dusting fields where there are no crops...." What follows next is cinema at it's most iconic.
Simply put this is a perfect film.
*****

Didn't much care for Marnie though.

I have to confess I have never seen The Lady Vanishes. My personal favorite is Dial M For Murder it's sooo suspenseful!

My favourite Hitchcock film is Frenzy. It's BRUTAL!
I always remember the scene where the killer realises his tie pin is left in the hand of his latest victim, and because rigor mortis set in, he has to snaps the fingers apart to retrieve it.
