Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais and Tea Leoni (pictured) who was executive producer no less as well as actor in Kill Me. Prominent product placement for UPS as well as Bulgari along witha few other names I was too lazy to grab hold of and remember this evening.

Ghost Town
Dhurai
I am new to Tamil films, and this is the second one I have seen without subtitles, nor is there an imdb listing. Chennai fare is grittier than it’s Bollywood cousin, more raw, more racy. And that’s just the editing. In answer to how do you understand what’s going on? By watching the picture as [...]
Burn after reading
One of the images that stuck with me after seeing this film. I liked Philip French’s review: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/19/comedy-coenbrothers Imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887883/
Nue propriété
Isabelle Huppert stars in this Belgian production prominently featuring an AMC jeep. Another offering from the Birmingham International Film Society for which I cut half of French class. Well worth it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0855895/
Obsluhoval jsem anglického krále
I have seen a couple of films at the Public Library theatre this week screened by the Birmingham International Film society, ‘I served the King of England’ was one of them. This Czech film has not been released in the UK yet although it was made in 2005. In a talk before and in questions [...]
Mýrin
Although I heard the characters distinctly talk about something I thought sounded like ‘Krykke boken’ which might translate into jar dwelling (this film and book are known as Jar City in English), the Icelandic title Mýrin means: moorland or swamp which presents another dimension of this story. This is a thriller underpinned by a morality [...]
Il y a longtemps que je t’aime
‘I’ve loved you so long’. This is one of those films where when it ends people stay seated and when you get up after watching the credits, look around to realise that 90% of the audience did the same. That’s all I am going to say other than if you like film see this one. [...]
Gomorra
I picked up the book on this film but didn’t have time to get through it. The film itself felt almost like a documentary. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0929425/
88 minutes
Second of two films released in the last two weeks that is both directed by John Avnet and starrring Al Pacino. Another in what seems to be a long series of films affected by the writers strike earlier this year. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/05/oscars Al Pacino plays a slightly Columbo looking forensic psychiatrist with a taste for expensive [...]
Brideshead Revisited
If you haven’t, then read the book, in the meantime read Philip French http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/oct/05/periodandhistorical.drama but I still think it was worth seeing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412536/
