Lol, what have I started?

I hadn't heard of it, but IMDBd the film and it turns out that the director is quite highly regarded. Might have to check it out!

You should! It was really interesting. I especially like the ending(s). That's right, alternative endings.

Watched "The Fourth Kind" last night and have to it kept me engrossed throughout.

The opening scene in the movie has Milla Jovovich making claims that the movie is based around real events with actual video footage and audio recording to back up the claims made.

Searching the internet these claims seem to be heavily disputed and the argument of inauthenticity proven.

That being said if you watch it late at night with all the lights off, and allow yourself to be absorbed by the premise of the movie, you'll find it's one of the more frightening movies you've seen.

It's definitely one of those movies you'll either love (especially if your an X-files fanatic) or hate, I don't think there'll be much in between.

Buena Vista Social Club was great. I was lucky enough to see the premier of it in Australia many years ago at the Kino in Collins St Melbourne.

I'm a subscriber to PBS radio 106.7 & used to be a listerner of their Latin American the Latin Connection show & won tickets to the preview screening. Fantastic music, brilliant musicians. Great CD

who was this directed act?

anyway, everyday people is a day in the life of some 'ordinary' new yorkers et inside a diner that has sold out to the corporatons. it tries to portray the different perspectives and prejudices of about 6 core characters.

bella is set in new york too and is one of those movies that is premised on how an incident dramatically changes the forunes of one or two characters. this one focuses on a soccer start about to sign a multimillion dollar contract but for one fateful icident ends up as a cook in his brother's restaurant. here he meets someone who has her own angst to overcome and both are able to complement the other in their search for fulfilment.

Saw "Moon" last night and I have to say while it was a good movie and easily watchable to the end I was still left somewhat disappointed.

Sam Rockwell is very good as the lead and virtually only human character throughout the movie. Kevin Spacey's voice as Gerty comes across as robotic but also rapidly becomes very boring, and while I'm sure the aim was for his voice to be emotionless why employ such a gifted actor just to have him drone on for a couple of hours and not allow him to display his talent, it just seemed such a waste of a damn fine actor.

The movie has a twist in the middle and for the rest of the movie your waiting for that bigger jaw dropping twist that seems to threaten to appear, but unfortunately never eventuates.

There is one major part of the plot that is left open, I believe, so the viewer can make their own assumption about it's cause / outcome.

All-in-all it's a good movie made on a very low budget (5 million I believe) but for me it wasn't the sensation I was led to believe it would be.

I kind of agree, OEP. I liked a lot of things about the film, but there was something mildly unsatisfying about it. Still, it was pretty impressive considering the director had never made a film before (although being David Bowie's son, funding obviously wouldn't have been a problem!).
