These are the current films I would like to see.
Iron Man
I may have missed the bus on this, as it is only on during the day in Dublin's cinemas, but maybe I will catch it at the weekend.
Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamao Bay
I love the idea of a stoner comedy politicised enough to even mention the USA's Caribbean torture camp.
Mongol
After Cave of the Yellow Dog and Tale of the Weeping Camel I am a sucker for Mongolian films, though I suspect that this one (a biopic of Genghis Khan) may have less cuddly animal & cute kid action.
Sarker Raj
I know nothing about this except that it is from India.
Joy Division
Apparently this documentary covers familiar ground to the Control feature, but I missed that. In any case, I reckon the subject matter is better served by the documentary format.
That's about it. I think tomorrow night will by Harold & Kumar night. Dude!
I want to see this film too, although there is a part of me that anticipates disappointment that it no time will anyone utter the line "Mongol Smash!!"
ReplyDeleteIron Man is surprisingly good, largely because of Robert Downey jr.
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, I watched the first Harold and Kumar film last night. It wasn't as funny as you might hope, but was quite good. Also relatively political, in a racial politics way.
I have seen Iron Man. It is very good in the sense that as a 14 year old I would have loved that life. Now that I am older and more sensible I am less interested. No, really. Oh go on, I'll take some of the money and things. Only a little though, I'm far too mature to enjoy it properly.
ReplyDeleteI would like to go to Harold and Kumar. Sometime next week?
Too late Kvlol, I saw it last night! initial review - it is a good film even if it is chortlesome rather than totally hilarious. And yeah, the politics is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think tomorrow I will go to the Joy Division film straight after work, if I can get out of work in time and if it is still on.
I will need to bribe a friend to go. 1 film I like = 1 film they like that I will have to read, won't understand wtf is happening and end up hating furreners and their artistic ways ;_;
ReplyDeletewhy don't you go and see it on your own?
