Sasha Grey's anatomy.

Only one scene with her and it wasn't even up to her standard quality (she's the best IMO).

Don't recommend it - the other girls were pretty unremarkable.

Just watched this slow moving film, Winter's Bone. About a young teenage girl from the backwoods of Missouri, her mother's catatonic and her dad gone done a runner from the law leaving her to look after her younger siblings. When the bondsman comes telling her in a week they're going to take the house because her father put the property up as security for the bond it's up to Ree to find her father. Her father cooks crack so this means she has to go visit some hard, pipe-hitting Hicks. The type that talk to their wives with slaps. One slap for "Yes" Two for, "Get me a beer". And hell you better not have me say, "No" to you.
The lead actress, the young Jennifer Lawrence, plays the part of the strong lead very well. She comes across as someone who is tough as a jockey's bollox. Probably, I imagine, the way Gallstones was at that age. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty, even skinning and gutting a squirrel at one point. Good support from John Hawkes and the rest of the cast who look like they've been pulled out of a Nascar tournament.
There's a lot here to relate to, especially if you're from the country. It may be a bit slow moving and humourless for some but well worth a watch for everyone else.

I missed a lot of the dialogue because I had a two-year-old babbling through a lot of it. It seemed like there were some interesting goings on though (specifically the lives of the wild things), and I was planning on watching it again soon to seally see what it was all about.

Yeah, but they've expanded it hugely, and added in a load of stuff which fleshes out the Wild Things.

Not for me, I'm afraid. Looked like a PC fest from here.

It's hard for me to say, without hearing the dialogue. :hehe:

Just got through watching the first part of Mesrine - a French film about the country's most notorious criminal. It was pretty awesome in parts but tended to jump about a little bit too much between the action scenes, not allowing enough character development sometimes. There are some really great scenes though - the torture in the Max Security Canadian prison is brilliantly done and a fabulous phone conversation with his GF and partner in crime.

I have the second part too but I will leave that for another day.

This is SO high brow, none of you will have heard of it... ahem...
I just pissed myself laughing at Chevy Chase's 'National Lampoons Christmas Vacation'. Never seen it before. Watched it with the kids at the end of a very stressful week, and just laughed till tears rolled down my face. I know. I am CLASS!!! Cheese-tastic.

Watched "Zombie Strippers" last night. It was exactly what I expected.

I started watching that in the hotel room on the way back from Wagga Wagga.

I stopped watching it five minutes later.

Then you missed the lolable parts. Zombie strippers seem to appeal to the customers more than live women. And the lap dances take on new features when done by a flesh-eater.
