Flawless - with Robert De Niro and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I love it.

Barney's version is based on the last book written by Mordecai Richler, he died in 2001 four years after it was published. I don't like all of Richler's work but his best books are brilliant. The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (made into a film directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Richard Dreyfuss), Joshua Then and Now, St Urbain's Horseman and Solomon Gursky was Here are all worth reading. His early book Son of a Smaller Hero is flawed but I read it at 16 and was very influenced by it.

Richler was a Canadian Jewish author whose non-fiction writing often annoyed the Canadian Jewish community, English Canadian nationalists and (especially) Quebec nationalists. It was probably those attitudes that made his writings so interesting. Barney's Version gives a reasonable flavour of Richler.

If I am ever looking for a reasonable flavour of Richler, I will ask him

I watched 'Invictus' last night. It was really good. Never thought I'd get so excited, and have a football freak out, whilst watching a movie

Love always, Alyssa xoxo

Had a look at the mechanic with the bald pom starring a few nights back. Not bad. A few good twists, bits of gratuitous violence, overall 7/10.

Saw the Holocaust documentary Night and Fog followed by Hiroshima Mon Amour last night at the Cinematheque (weekly Wednesday night affair at ACMI in Fed Square). Not exactly a bundle of laughs, but both great films.

Also caught Eraserhead at the Astor a couple of Sundays ago. I'm a fan, but seeing it on the big screen was a little hair-raising.

Watched Switch last night...Interesting flick....just wondering if Jeff Goldblum has aged since the 80's?

Cheers

I liked "The apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" as a film - brought Richard Dreyfus to the big screen (many years ago).

I reckon you'd like Barney's Version on screen & one I saw & noted earlier in this thread "Four Lions" - film of 2010, I reckon.

Took my niece and nephew to see RIO in 3D a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty good! First 3D I've ever seen and I was surprised that the 3D glasses are not longer those blue and red lense things (a little more like Buddy Holly glasses now)!

I hadn't seen a movie in almost a year and over easter I managed to see three

Thor- &^*%$^&% awesome movie. I loved the 'interpretation' of Norse mythology. Loki is my sort of badass, weak and wiry and a congenital liar. Still the plot was transparent and I could see things coming.

Paul - a delightful celebration of nerd culture. I have been a fan of Simon Pegg's work for a while (Shaun of the Dead anyone?). Funny how the alien was in fact not a nerd. Still the plot was transparent and I could see things coming.

Fast and Furious 5 - not my usual sort of movie. I watched it in the hope that the criminals would get what they had coming. Unfortuantely they didn't and somehow amazingly the scriptwriters had managed to differentiate between 'bad' criminals and 'good' ones. Bullshit. Chuck them all in a volcano and let god sort them out. Still the plot was transparent and I could see things coming.

I must be some sort of movie oracle. They can't write a story that surprises me any more.
