Motorcycle Diaries comes out on DVD on the 27th Dec anyway, so I'll find out then. It does look damn good, and it has been getting rave reviews. My dad saw it, and he thought it would have been better as a plain 'Easy Rider' style road film with fictional characters, but who knows.
LOL. I am willing to try all genres, but there's some types I just cant like. I'm not very into Sci-Fi and Fantasy, there's only a few I like, and while I like some comedy films, I really think it should keep to the small-screen. I very rarely see films I dont like, however, but then, I suppose I'd have to be pretty confident bfore I went to see something.Originally posted by Hakeem
I know. they're in lots of people's list of worst movies ever, and I can understand that.
my problem (or maybe not a problem really), is that I dont dislike many movies and genres. I love almost all movies, and the ones I hate are not because they belong to a certain genre (like those who hate musical automatically, or those who hate teen comedies, or those who hate sci-fi, or those who hate war movies), but because specific reason's like acting, or editing, or pacing, etc.

LOL I'm yet to see a musical I like :P I'm hoping Beyond the Sea is gonna do it for me though.Originally posted by Hakeem
I know. and that wasnt directly to you, I just know that many people totally block and dont want to know anything about Sci-Fi or Fantasy or Teen Comedies or Musicals

The problem is that it's about a musician who I have never really heard of and dont particularly care about. One wonders why he chose Bobby Darin from an era containing the likes of Crossby and Sinatra, but hey, Spacey is such an incredible actor and performer that it's bound to be worth seeing.Originally posted by Hakeem
I wouldnt say Beyond the Sea is a musical. its a biopic about a musician yeah but its in the style as Cabaret or Moulin Rouge
it does look great though

I dont like Batman or Superman
It's Christian Bale playing Batman I believe, the guy who, among other things, was Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (Bateman-->Batman, seems like a natural progression to me). From the pictures I have seen, he doesnt really look the part, but I'm guessing he must be pretty good.
Was the Tim Burton original Batman any good?

Having just seen The Merchant of Venice, I decided to do a list of my top ten films based on Shakespeare plays...
1. Rozencrantz and Guldstein are Dead A fantastically funny and brilliantly acted (the magnificant cast includes Gary Oldman, Tim Roth and Richard Dreyfuss) take on Hamlet, seen through the eyes of two lesser characters, this is a really superb and entertaining film.
2. Kenneth Branagh's Henry V I love Kenneth Branagh, and this is my very favourite of his Shakespeare adaptations. He plays the lead role magnificantly in this film which is remarkably true to the play and very well made.
3. Lawrence Olivier's Richard III Despite its age, this adaptation of Richard III is still brilliant. The master of the stage transfers effortlessly to the screne here for this brilliant film. (At one point in the film, Olivier was accidently shot with an arrow and he refused to go to hospital until the scene was finished)
4. Throne of Blood The best of Kurisawa's Shakespeare in Japan films, this take on MacBeth is as good as anything Kurisawa has made, so different yet so like it should be.
5. Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing One of the most colourful film's I have ever seen, this is a really superb adaptation with an incredible cast (Denzel Washington, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Kate Beckinsale, Keanu Reeves, Ben Elton, Brian Blessed etc) and a really up-beat tempo.
6. Ian McKellen's Richard III Not quite up to Lawrence Olivier's standards, but Ian McKellen still puts in an incredible performance as the evil King, and the fact no attempt has been made to over effect this film really works in its favour.
7. Al Pacino's The Merchant of Venice The film I just saw the other day, see other thread for my views on it.
8. Orson Welles's Othello Despite the extremely tacky appearance and dodgy first impressions, this is actually a really good film, superbly refined and, once you get into it, very accurate to the play.
9. Hamlet Goes Business A Scandinavian film, by Kaurismaki I think, this lighthearted but thought provoking classic is actually very very good, with a completely new and original take on Ophelia I have never seen done before.
10. My Own Private Idaho Interesting as few people know the Henry IV plays, this adaptation of them is very good, and Keanu Reeves shows us he can actually act..... a bit.

Finally managed to see Hero today, the arthouse cinema was doing a late show, and god damn it was good. I was blown away, a thousand times better than Crouching Tiger, Hero was just awesome. The colour, the fight sequences, the beautiful artistry of the camera work, it complexity of the plot - just an incredible film. Straight into my top 5 of 2004, I'm so glad I got to see this at the cinema. I cant wait for The House of Flying Daggers now, and I didnt even like Martial Arts films before today.

I can sort of see what you mean, I dont think it was necessarily the pace that was the problem but the air of repitition, ie Broken Sword and Flying Snow fighting each other several different times but all in the same way. With such beautiful fight scenes early on, the chess house scene, the golden leaves scene, the water fight etc, when it came back to more ordinary fights, it did seem a little dull, but that was about the only problem I had with it. In summary, I didnt find the development of the storyline or the general pace slow at all, but the repetitive edge of much of it did make it feel a bit that way.
