On the flight back from Oz I watched a film called 'Moon', based on a recommendation from my brother. I enjoyed it, and got round to watching it again tonight. On second viewing it gets even better. Great film - if you haven't seen it (and can watch a film that doesn't have explosions, guns and mayhem in it without falling asleep) I highly recommend it.

Yeah liked them both. Must sit down and watch it.
Saw Black Swan last week. Pretentious rubbish and one of the most overrated films i have seen in a very long time.
It amazes me how so many films that are completely confusing and have no definitive understandable story are raved about. The Matrix , Fight club , The fountain and Eternal sunshine of the Spotless mind are all films i hated for that very same reason.
I really do think that more and more films these days are specifically made to win awards rather than to entertain.
"Hey let's tackle a difficult subject" I mean, how could anyone be ENTERTAINED by Brokeback Mountain ?
About to watch it !
Don't tell Me the ending...........
Oh really? Thanks for that lazy sweeping statement. If your so clever then tell me what Black Swan had to say then because i'm buggered if i know.

I take it you don't enjoy films that have something to say.[/quote]

In what way is Fight Club difficult to understand?. How does it not have a story line?.
I enjoyed it
I enjoyed that one as well

Likewise. Thought the plot was pretty clear in that one as well. Added bonus of Winslet looking like she would take a length....
Black Swan (if you don't get this, then you should stick to Gulliver's Travels - won't spoil it for anyone who is planning on seeing it. Excellent film BTW)
The Matrix (reality is a construct invented by artificial intelligence to keep humankind compliant as they exist only as a power source for the AI)
Fight Club (Tyler Durden is the narrator)
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (Girlfriend's memory has been erased. Boyfriend undergoes procedure to erase his memory too - only to decide he doesn't want to forget her, having spent years working on their relationship)
The Fountain (this is the most difficult of the list - and there are several different possible interpretations. The 'cleverest' of the films listed as it 'works' on various different 'levels')
There are some films out there that are deliberately 'difficult' and all the more shit for it. None of those lifted above even remotely qualify as 'wilfully obtuse'
I liked Moon very much , Sam Rockwell is a very underated actor.
Just finished watching black swan , very very dark and I can imagine it not being to many peoples taste but I enjoyed it.
If you can take subtitle films then "a prophet" is a blinding film about a young french arab who gets put in prison in paris and gets taken under the wing of some corsicans who are up against a group of muslims.
Wilfully obtuse eh ? mmmmmmm
Well Mr Ambrose , if they are all that easy to explain how come you only managed to explain only one of them , vaguely (Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind) . I'm not buying what you wrote for The Matrix. That explanation might as well be in japanese and pretty much sums up what i mean.
So go ahead , explain it for me.
cheers in advance
I think you need to get the Lego out mate.....
