I went to a special showing at my local flea pit of The Dark Knight and Watchmen - they were absolutely brilliant - vaguely remember Watchmen from the DC Comics - but both films were visually stunning, dark and twisted - few films i'd want to see again so soon after the first watch but i'd go see them again soon - if you like comicbook heroes [which i think a few of you on here might?] then i'd go seen them if you haven't already {yolkfolk}:cheers:

gutted i missed Watchmen on the cinema, saw a rough download copy which didnt do the film justice, im gonna get in on blueray. The Dark Knight is just the best film ever made.
I didn't like the Watchmen. A bunch of boring & overblown crap in my opinion. Not that it was bad, but I wasn't entertained.
The Dark Knight is good, but not nearly as much as everyone is making it out to be. A gigantic improvement over Batman Begins though.

be interested to know what kind of film has entertained you anatoly? even though the storyline in watchmen was a bit convoluted i think it was visually stunning. {yolkfolk}:tongue:
Not seen watchman. doesn't interest me one bit.
But the Dark knight was okay.. very very over rated.. it didn't have the batman feel or spirit.. its meant to be a comic, i also have issues with the while 'its more realistic' debated.. realistic my arse.
And that actor was not Oscar worth in my opinion.. brilliant performance but not that good. i mean those types of roles can be played by any actor they are an actors dream. i thought the chap who played Dent was much better,
However it was entertaining, better than Begins which was a yawn fest.. but Returns is still the best Batman on Evey level... but its more Art-house than batman.
Most recent film i saw was Coraline, and Dark Portals.

So far this year, and I've seen every major release, I've enjoyed only three movies: 'Gran Torino' which I have seen three times in the theater and bought on blu ray, 'Star Trek' which I've seen four times (one is IMAX) and Sam Raimi's 'Drag Me to Hell' which while being a not so great horror film is still so much better than any horror film of the last few years.
I tend to watch a lot of movies. At home and in the theaters. I also own quite a lot. All of them watched to death with all the extras/commentaries gone through. Here's the list:

I've really enjoyed Coraline (never read the book) and preordered a blu ray already. By 'Dark Portals' I assume you mean a Pitof flick 'Vidocq' which I enjoy a lot if only for its visual style.

Yes Vidocq, i have the R1 dvd which is been re-titled.
Its a great film but he ain't a very good director.
Still have 9 to come out this year.
and in 2010 looking forward to Tim Burtons Alice in wonderland.
and Micmacs ? tire-larigot which should be out Jeunet is one of the fav film makers.. i just love his attitude and the way he shoots a pictuer. this one is said to be more like his Delicatessen. fantastic.
I have Brotherhood of the wolf on the list to watch when i get round too it.

i love tim burton films but didn't know he was making alice in wonderland so i'll be watching out for that - i did see sling blade with billy bob thornton it was a great little film, i'm also a fan of david lynch films but he hasn't done anything decent for a while, keep hearing good things about clint eastwood in gran torino so gonna see that and definitely drag me to hell, delicatessen would be on my list of top 10 films i loved it {yolkfolk}:clap:
Comes out March 2010.. But its a Sequel.. a return to wonderland.
and its a Disney production. whats more exciting is its mix of live action, CG, Motion capture, Cell and Stop-motion animation.
mad hatter.

Been looking forward too this.. comes out in October..
Looking at the poster and trailer its appears to be like Delicatessen,
i love the way hos shoots his films.. nobody does it like this.. well they never used too im sure some 'copy's' are around.. anyway check it out.
Can't wait for this one too. Amelie is my favorite movie of all time.
Can't wait for Alice too. One of my favorite books of all time and I think the Tim Burton 'twist' will do it justice.

It was alright.. i quite liked the suicide goldfish, traveling gnome and all the other typical trademarks he does, being a different sort of film for him at the time i was worried all those little details would go. Many people didn't notice theses and 90% of people had never seen his previous work.
certainly something missing since his collaborated went solo (Dante 01 was ok but nothing mind blowing)
At least he started getting good story's with great visuals.. City of lost children looked good but was hard to follow and was a bit messy.

I, for one, love City of Lost children, itt was the movie to introduce me to Jaunet/Caro/Pitof's work. Since the split up all of them do different things, but you can clearly see in their separate films what each one had to bring to the collaborative effort.
Jaunet is great though. I literally cried at the end of Amelie (something that doesn't happen to me a lot and I watch A LOT of movies) and couldn't call it anything but a perfect film. And I really, I mean really liked A Very Long Engagement despite all the bashing that the movie got at the time.

I'm going to see Coraline soon. Looks quite good from the trailer.
Something interesting I've seen recently:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fears_of_the_dark/
It's a small collection of animation movies with a horror-like theme.
The last one is really good.
Dark Knight I've seen last year when I was in London, at IMAX. The experience made the movie better :smile: But I can't compare it with the first two Batman movies.
Terminator 4 was better than expected.
Also I recommend Home, Arthus Bertrand documentary - not so convincing as Baraka, but the photography worth it. I wonder if it is available in 3D IMAX format. That would be a killer!
