Last night I watched Alejandro Jodorowsky's "El Topo" for the third time, I still don't get it but I was in the mood for something weird.

I would consider Cars to be the weakest Pixar offering. Saved by some utterly heart-breakingly beautiful visuals.

Curious, I thought that it had been very well rated, and that Cars was the runt. Anyway, I think Ratatouille is probably my fave Pixar film, and Anton Ego is one of the most wonderful characters I've seen in animated films.

I saw 'The Hangover' at the cinema on Saturday.

Excellently funny film.

It also sets the bar for my coming Stag Do in October.

Wall-E made this prematurely middle-aged cynic all warm and fuzzy. It made me feel like a kid. Really.

I struggle to name a top 10 of movies generally cos I like so many, but Wall-E would be in the top 3, no doubt.

Last nights weird film was "Freaks", for the millionth time.

I love Freaks, it's like a twisted Disney story or a Tim Burton film. It also has a fascinating background, what with it being banned for years & its use of an all star cast of genuine freaks. The best example being the Hilton Sister's (siamese twins) gruesome end.
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The Hiltons' last public appearance was at a drive-in movie theater in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their tour manager abandoned them there, and with no means of transportation or income, they were forced to take a job in a nearby grocery store.

On January 4, 1969, after they failed to report to work, their boss called the police. The twins were found dead in their home due to the Hong Kong Flu. According to forensics, Daisy died first, with Violet dying perhaps 2-4 days later.

Just watched Public Enemies. It is a typically slick Michael Mann effort, with pretty visuals and an excellent bang shoot out. Johnny Depp is effortlessly cool and Christian Bale is his usual gruff self. Good, witty fun and a gillion times better than Miami Vice. 8/10.

Christ, 'The Departed' is a bit good. Forgive my tardiness, I've just borrowed the blu-ray off my brother.

A 150 minute film that buzzes past so quickly, you'd swear it was only 90 minutes. Lots of blood, nice convoluted plot and Ray Winstone's worst attempt at an accent yet! Loved it.

It was indeed brilliant, and one of the recent films that shows DiCaprio can actually act (another notable one being Blood Diamond - although his South African "hey broo" had me giggling to start with).

Ray Winstone can't even do a convincing English accent, so his effort here wasn't a surprise.

Hmm, I'd have to rewatch both to decide, as it's been that long since I saw either, but I'd be minded to agree.

Yes, I really enjoyed it, having had it on DVD for ages but only recently sat down to watch it. You have to concentrate, though! The bit early on where it does a fairly rapidly cut montage that skips over a year or so had me thinking for a minute I must have dozed off and missed something.

You need to have a stern talk with Mrs DavPaz, matey. "Worship" was in the marriage vows last I checked. She's obliged, like. Mind you, so are you.

That's why I felt it was shorter than it really was. The scenes are generally very short. Some of Leo's intro to the gang world is literally, 'wham, bang, next', and Damon's love interest goes from nowhere to moving in in few minutes it seems

Now, Scarface, that's a bit of a blind spot for me. Only seen it once, was a bit drunk and kind of missed the middle. So opinion paused until I've seen it all.

It didn't feel too truncated to me, though; that's a tricky thing to balance and I think Scorsese judged it perfectly.

Yeah, I liked The Departed even though I wasn't too sure about it when I first heard about it. It's worth looking for the original, 'Infernal Affairs', I wouldn't say either is better but I preferred Hong Kong's version.

It's my wife's choice, this one. It features Bill Mosely, Anthony Head, Sarah Brightman and Paris Hilton, who would all be on her "favourite people" list if she had one, so she's been dying to see it.

I finally got round to watching "Anvil" last night. I can heartily recommend it to anyone who likes a) Spinal Tap b) music c) documentaries or d) very silly uber metal. While the lads themselves aren't the sharpest tools in the box, their enthusiasm and optimism (although bordering on the pathalogical) is very endearing indeed and you find yourself cheering them on although you know in heart of hearts that it's going to end badly and probably for their own emotional and financial sake they should just give it all up.

Anyone who is not moved by the concert in Japan has a rock for a heart (and not a good rock...like one made of purest METAL).

It's crap. Massive fan of the original and watched a dvd-rip of the sequel a couple of months back.
Let's just say I'm not in the slightest bit surprised it went straight to dvd......

Reagrding "Anvil" though (as mentioned above), brilliant, funny & moving documentary (despite the fact I HATE the old-skool metal produced by the band of the title - or any type of metal in general - this film is about the characters, not the music).

Edit - If you like ANVIL, check out the Metallica documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" - Again, a band who's music I have no interest in, but an utterly fascinating documentary regardless.
