Movies and me

Whats up dudes?

Just a quick one to say -

1) Don't watch Ghost Rider, the Marvel comic adaptation starring Nic Cage and Eva Mendes. I am a comic movie fan. All the Batman's, Blade, Spidey etc. This, unfortunately is absolute gash.

2) Instead, why not rent the best films i have seen recently.
- The Science of Sleep - starring the excellent Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Ginsbourg, directed by the fantastic Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine. Such a weird, quirky and uniquely beautiful film.
- The Fountain - starring Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weizs and Ellen Burstyn who are all excellent. Seriously, if you only know Jackman as Wolverine, check this shit. It is by the writer director Darren Aronofsky who also made Requiem For a Dream, also a must see. This film is unusual. I sat through the first half n hour thinking i was hating it and it resulted in me absolutely loving it. Beautiful, emotional and original. Do it. Do it now.
- A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints - with Robert Downey Jr and written and Directed by Dito Montiel. This guy Montiel wrote book about his life growing up and this is the film based on that story. It is really very good.

3) That part i went for yesterday. I only went and got it! Can't believe it, i am really chuffed to bits. Had a chat with the writer/director just now and i am really excited. Basically it is a pilot for a sit com for the telly. In case you don't know, what people do is, when they have an idea, they assess levels of interest and test the water. If that is positive they make a pilot of one episode o how the show will look. This is then touted around all the channels to see if someone wants to buy it. So that's the next stage. Get together, talk it through, see the script, learn that, then film it baybee.

In the vain of some other blogs out there - its like flopping quads.
