Kermode isn't happy unless he's being reduced to tears by a foreign language film about a terminally-ill gender-confused hairdresser in a coming-of-age debut by an auteur who might-just-might be this

What makes the superhero genre stand out is the budgets / returns....

Spiderman 2002 - $139,000,000 / $821,708,551

The amazing Spiderman 2012 - $230,000,000 / $696,859,765

That is a mind boggling amount of idiots basically watching the same film :)

The "same film" except the first Spider-Man was shit and the Amazing one was amazing?

People piss their knickers these days about "reboots" as if it's anything new. The Maltese Falcon, from 1941, that timeless classic, was the third version of the film. The 1931 and 1936 versions were, each, a pile of shite.

The Total Recall reboot was just about the worst thing to have hit cinematic sci-fi in years, but the Robocop reboot, though not beating the original, was bloody good fun with many great moments ("you can book him now Jaaack") and legal to take your 12 year old son to see!

If you have no imagination, the ocean covers 70% of the planet yet I have trouble thinking of a big film that has really used it apart from maybe the Abyss.

Because for the most part films are about people and because for the most part people live on the other 30%?

Deep Blue Sea though... best shark film ever!

Just watched 'Dial M for Murder', loved it. I've watched a couple of Htichcocks other films (Vertigo, Rear Window) I did like them although i thought they were slightly overrated. This one however is a masterpiece imo and for a 60 year old film it hasn't aged too badly either. Defenitely one to watch before you die. Just make sure you pay attention to the keys. :P

Still to see that one. Check out North By Northwest and Strangers On A Train.

I watched The Prestige for the first time last night as my sister put it on and said the ending was great.

I am still not sure if I got entirely what happened with the ending (and the main trick )and why, but I found it quite captivating to watch even if I was confused for a good portion of it.

Not sure if Edison would really have had hench men to go around trying to burn down anything Tesla did :P

I watched Insomina last night, a Christopher Nolan film I wasn't even aware of with a great lead from Al Pacino opposite Robin Williams. It wasn't life changing or anything, but I enjoyed it all the same. I work nights, so some of the little moments brought a smile.

The good lady is away for bank holiday weekend...so I get the chance to watch some films that she won't watch with me...in between a list of chores as long as my arm naturally.

So film buffs, I have had these 4 on my list for a while...which would you watch and which should I avoid?
