i saw man facing southeast many years ago .. did not see kpax.

in the 1st film a man in an institution claims to be from another world. people think he's crazy but he insists so passionately that the psychiatrist becomes convinced (i cant remember in the end if it was determined he was or not)

now - you tell me .. is kpax a coincidence ?

Sounds pretty much the same to me. I guess I'll have to try and track down a copy, do you remember if it was any good?

Subterano


This has been sitting on my shelf gathering dust for months, so I figured I might as well watch it. I got it for $3 in a bargain bin, so I wasnt expecting much at all, but I got a rather pleasant surprise! Sure, it's not a great movie by any means, full of plot hole and continuity problems, but the actors were actually pretty good for a low budget flick like this. Same goes for the effects. The plot wasn't anything we haven't seen before, but it was handled well. I was pretty disapointed with the "Embo Man" villain in the end....looked like a bad Power Ranger villain. Oh well, it was still alot better than expected for $3!

7/10

i remember enjoying it ..
i thing i have a dub on beta somewhere buried ... havent seen it around since.

it's brazilian or argentinian i think ..

Well, hopefully it gets a DVD release eventually. I checked out Amazon and Ebay, and the cheapest copy I can find is a used VHS for $30. I would really like to see it, but not that bad. Oh well...

The Constant Gardener


To avoid starting to sound like Amalthea, I really should run down to the store and rent Boogeyman. I dont think Ive given a film less than 7/10 in weeks, and this is certainly no exception. Rachel Weisz whole-heartedly deserved her Oscar, though I cant quite understand why it was for supporting actress rather than actress in a leading role. In fact the entire cast was phenominal, with special nods going out to Bill Nighy and, of course, the always great Ralph Fiennes. The plot had me guessing until the very end, and while the final outcome was unavoidable, I was still somewhat surprised. A word of warning however: If you're like Posher, and dismiss movies simply for being "boring", this is not for you. The majority of the film is talking and there is very little action. If that kind of film bothers you, leave this one on the shelf. Otherwise, I highly recomend it.

8/10

Watch Son of the Mask and this will all change.

Ive actually been considering it, if not just to see if it really is as bad as Ive heared...

Trust me, it is! Though, as much as I hate to say this, I think ytou should rent it. See if this 7-10 streak stays or, most obviously, ends.

Heh, I have Cinderella Man rented. Im not expecting much from that at all....
