bsag blippd No Country for Old Men
I was surprised by how faithful the movie was to the book. Tense and thoughtful, McCarthy has a wonderful ear for authentic dialogue. =D. -
bsag blippd Death at a Funeral
A modern farce in classic Ealing Comedy style. Great ensemble cast, but Alan Tudyk's accidentally stoned character is brilliant. Great opening scene. =). -
Saturday October 04
bsag blippd The Imagined Village
Truly excellent collection of folk songs 'Retold' by a mixture of folk, world, dub and rock artists. Exciting and fiercely topical, yet rooted in history. =D. -
bsag blippd Be Kind Rewind
Slightly disappointed by this. Had some good, quirky moments and lots of imagination, but didn't quite hold together somehow. =|. -
bsag blippd Wiffle Lever To Full!
Fischer, a passionate sci-fi and fantasy fan in his childhood, renounces geekdom then rediscovers it at a series of conventions. Nostalgic and affectionate. =). -
Sunday September 21
bsag blippd Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
Great fun, with some brilliant jokes, particularly 2-D one. Great cameo by Stephen Hawking, but not enough Zoidberg as usual. =D. -
Sunday September 14
bsag blippd Son of Rambow
Very funny and sweet film about being an outsider. Nostalgic but not cloying, and some great low-key jokes. =D. -
Thursday September 11
bsag blippd In My Father's Den
Taut storytelling, which evokes the fevered, claustrophobic atmosphere of small town New Zealand very well. =). -
bsag blippd Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
I'm rapidly becoming a Gaiman fan. This is a lovely collection of very varied short stories and poems. Gripping, funny, poignant and horrific by turns. =). -
Sunday September 07
bsag blippd In Bruges
Pitch black comedy. Lightning changes in tone between laugh out loud funny and violently tragic. Hugely surreal in places. =D.

I'm about a third of the way through, and I like it a lot, but finding it a bit scattered - not very cohesive. That's the nature of the beast, I suppose. There are some very good ideas in it, but I don't yet feel that I've been drawn into its world, if you know what I mean.
