Shutter Island

This film is the reason I decided to go for a Netflix trial. Ive been dying to see it again since I saw it at the cinema. However, now I've started watching it I'm worried I won't enjoy it as much because I know the twist. I hope I do, I remember thinking it were right good. Yes, you read right. Right. Good.

NETFLIX

Ok, so I have signed up for the free trial of this. It seems that while LoveFilm entices you with a few good films that are included in the instant package, all the good ones are premium ones that you have to pay up to £3.50 a pop for. No thanks. There were a few films on there from The List that I will try and watch over the next month or so but depending on how Netflix goes I might cancel LoveFilm altogether and move to the dark side. What a ballache this is turning out to be. And I don't even have balls so to make my non-balls ache is quite the feat!

Change of tack

I've switched from my somewhat redundant 2 disc a month LoveFilm subscription to the unlimited online streaming subscription. Somehow watching online seems more convenient than operating the DVD player. I've plumbed new depths of slothishness.

Happy Valentine's Day

The Skin I Live In

O. M. G. Curveball or what?! This film was mental!!!!!! Twist centrale! You're sat there thinking, "Antonio, you weirdo, what you doing" and then BOOM it's all "woah woah woah, Antonio, you frigging weirdo, what the fuck you doing?! Settle down lad!" 



I don't even think that I can say anything about it because it would ruin it for all you non-readers out there. Fortunately someone at work has watched it so I have someone to let it all out to. Watch it people. Watch it.

La piel que habito

Buenos dias. I've gone all espagnol this evening and am in the process of downloading The Skin I Live In. I have a week of no hoosemate, no Bones and no money. Film enrichment it is!

The Rules of Attraction

Well, didn't I just enjoy this little tinker. Almost exactly like The Informers as I suspected, but set in school. Watched the last hour of it on the train yesterday morning, had to have it very much hidden throughout the journey although I'm sure as we went through tunnels, of which there are many, the sight of James van der Beek bashing one out will have been reflected to my fellow table sharers.


Pretty sure that the ending isn't the same as the book. Didn't Lauren and Victor end up together? Or Sean and Lauren? Think she got herself up the duff too. Could be making all this up though, I do that sometimes.


One of the best bits for me would be the introduction of Victor. Very clever a kind of fast forward introduction that both got all of the detail in while conveying the hectic fast-paced Europe times he was him. You know what that was right there people? Yes, film analysis. Claudia Winkleman can fuck right off, Rachel Higgins is in town. Yeah!*


Im giving it 8 on 10. Not one to watch in public though. Or with the rents.


*don't go too far claudia, sometimes I get ahead of myself and make wild assertions that I can't substantiate later.
