Swingtown/Hancock
Have any of you seen the terribly bad and sleazy TV show "Swingtown" with lots of 1970's pop hits providing the background to the oh-so-scintillating action?
And...anyone plan to see "Hancock"? It's not the sort of movie I would normally see, but I think it's set in LA, my home town...:)

Here's a of what you'll get to sit through. Be sure to lay in a good supply of snacks and drinks as well as something to piss in, since I'm sure that you won't want to miss one exciting moment.
Last night I watched a South Korean movie titled Oldboy that was really good in a sick, twisted, completely over-the-top comic book sort of way. It reminded me a bit of Ichi the Killer which is a classic for those with strong stomachs who like this sort of thing.

Oldboy is tame compared to ichi the killer. Oldboy is a pretty good story. A Tale of Two Sisters Click Here Is a good one too. The link has a link in it to IMDb which has trailers.
My kids are into these movies. I know I better not piss them off.;)

it isn't a 'movie', but maybe one of the best possible trailers.
only, i think - you may not find it funny or felicitous unless you know the original movie.
whatever.
here is:

We also saw these recently, all recommended:
10 Items or Less (Morgan Freeman may be the best actor working today)
Conversations with Other Women
The God Who Wasn't There
Betty Blowtorch and Her Amazing True Life Adventures
Oddly enough we watched 10 Items or Less and Conversations with Other Women one after the other, then discovered they were both made in ridiculously short amounts of time (10 Items, 15 days, Conversations, 12 days!)

This movie surprised me. It had some funny parts and at times had almost a cartoon quality about it, although it deals with a very serious subject.
Everything is Illuminated
The music was strange but good. There is a band that could play with T Waits.

i was just going to ask if anyone had seen in bruges too. i didn't like it. i thought it could have been fantastic, and there were performances i liked (i actually liked brendan gleeson better than colin farrel), but i thought the movie tried too hard to be an allegory about redemption, guilt, blah blah blah. plus, while scene stealing, ralph fiennes didn't really add anything new to the unhinged british gangster stock character.
Gleeson was excellent...Fiennes overacted a bit, but have to disagree with you on your overall impression of the movie. I loved it...thought it worked well.
Just watched Hearts of Darkness, the documentary on the making of "Apocalypse Now." It really shows how much Coppola risked making the film. The scene where Sheen has a breakdown in his hotel room is pretty amazing...along with the fact that he had a real life heart attack soon after.
I've caught a couple of good films recently. 'Zodiac' which was another fine film from David Fincher, the docu-film 'American Hardcore' about the 80's early hardcore punk scene and a couple of films by some German bloke called Werner Herzog 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'Aguirre, the wrath of God'.
