I seem to be revisiting some of the old movies in my DVD collection lately. They've sat there for years just collecting dust. Watched Donnie Darko again last night and I know many don't like it  ..but imo it is such a great movie.

Hmm, don't know this film but I've seen Donnie Brasco with Al Pacino & Johnny Depp which was not bad but far from spectacular.

Meanwhile I've seen a new French film: The Prophet by Jaques Audiard who won the Prize of the Jury in Cannes last year. Pretty good prison movie with an awsome actor in the male leading role. The actor is maybe 'my' discovery of the year. Btw. my absolute favourite movie that I also discovered right at the beginning of the last year was an Italian film about the Neapolitan Mafia: Gomorrah. In my opinion the best Mafia movie of all times. Hasn't got anything to do with Mafia glorifiying movies like e.g. Godfather etc.

LoL, of course I also watch movies of a different genre.

Donnie Darko is fabulous IMHO, but definitely an acquired taste. That was the first thing I ever saw Jake Gyllenhaal in and needed to watch it a second time to understand the movie. I am going to watch it again this week because of all the fab actor's in it

For more information on Donnie Darko go to......

Funny, this last time I watched Donnie Darko is actually the first time I realised it was Jake Gyllenhaal. Quite a bit younger than anything else I've seen him in. He really did a great job!!

Jake is a brilliant actor with a great future IMHO.

The only other movies I've seen him in are Brokeback Mountain and Jarhead. Two movies that I really wasn't very keen on, but his performances in both were excellent.

Haven't seen either of those movies (by choice). I acquired Donnie Darko this week and have yet to watch it
My friend Helen went to see Avatar last night but it's not really her kind of movie. She kept calling Avatoir like Abattoir, hilarious. I haven't heard her verdict.... yet!   

Worst movie of all time is finally revealed
From: NewsCore February 03, 2010 2:37am

Batman And Robin voted worst movie
Battlefield Earth voted second worst
The Love Guru voted third worst

EMPIRE magazine has just released the verdict on what's been voted as the worst movie of all time.

It's George Clooney’s comic book adventure Batman And Robin even though the actor, a former Oscar-nominee, is tipped to  be in the running for a Best Actor trophy for his role in Up in the Air.

The 1997 Batman and Robin, co-starring Chris O’Donnell and Uma Thurman, cost $US140 million ($158.5 million) to make and was blamed for almost killing off the Batman film franchise, The Sun reports.

Voters in the magazine poll slammed the film for its anatomically-correct Batsuits and an "overblown" script.

An Empire Magazine spokesman said, "It has become a byword for franchise-killing and bad movie-making."

The film got almost three times as many votes as the next entry, John Travolta’s sci-fi flick Battlefield Earth.

And Austin Powers funnyman Mike Myers’ comedy The Love Guru came in third place.

I own Battlefield Earth I bought it and enjoyed it before I learned it was based on the teachings of Scientology Originator L. Ron Hubbard  

I am looking forward to seeing the movie starring every single actor in Hollywood

I have just seen "Bran Nue Dae" I just loved it, would highly recommend, worth a look,
Filmed in Broome, (a place I love) and Perth (Freo), and Magda is very funny        

BRAN NUE DAE (PG) 87 mins
Directed By : Rachel Perkins
Starring : Geoffrey Rush, Magda Szubanski
Austarlia's first Aboriginal musical is set in 1969 with young Willie living in Broome Western Australia, an idyllic old pearl fishing port. He spends his days fishing with his mates until sent to Perth for school. He then runs away from school and embarks on a 2500km adventure on his way back to Broome while pursued by by Geoffrey Rush, a Catholic Priest.

^^^ I am very keen to see 'Bran Nu Dae'. The stage show was brilliant as well ...evidently.

its just one of those movies that makes you go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

and I was taping my foot to the music  
I do want to see it again

My entry in evsc is       a great talent. Aussie singer, songwriter, plays guitar and piano (since age of 6yrs) and she debuts as actress in that  first Australian Aboriginal Musical.... Bran Nue Day.

Hmm... I wonder who this mysterious artist could be  

So much for anonymity, good thing most of us have voted....lol
