Title: The Village.
Genre: Horror and drama.
Good actors: Adrien Brody, Bryce Dallas Howard, Joquin Phoenx, Sigorney Weaver.
Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: One.
Attractive males: Joquin Phoenx
Attractive females: Bryce Dallas Howard is really pretty and sweet.
Best Quote: “Some people, just a handful, mind you, give off the tiniest colour - like a haze - it's all I ever see in the darkness”.
Highlight: All the characters and story are really deep and complicated and important. It is really pretty and peaceful. Also, the secret twist is really surprising and smart.
Lowlight: It is pretty slow, sometimes, but it is sort of helpful to explain everything and also develop everything properly; it is like a book, I think.
Score: 9 secret floorboards out of 10.

I liked the village, although I understand why many many many people didn't. 9 is quite kind though, 7/8 imho.

I think I remember a scene in The Persuit of Happiness where Will shaves... But I may be wrong.

Rating: 7.76 rapping bunnies out of 10.
I like it. And that smartarse reviewer who said you should stay well over 8 miles away from this movie has no taste.

Read my review, it's better than Claires! 
Title? The Number 23.
Genre? Weird with funny bits.
Good actors? Yes, Jim Carrey gives a great performance and the kid/mum are great too.
Products Placements? The number 23. Duh, Claire
Minutes too long? The first 20 mins were fine imho, I can see how they would be loseable to some people but seeing Jim Carrey on le grande screen was entertainment enough for me.
Deaths? Claire is right with 3, I think.
Attractive males? Jim Carrey is quite hot in some bits
Attractive females? The 'suicide blonde'. Too bad she commited suicide. Well, with a name like that it was always going to end badly....
Best Quotes:
Kid: Wait a minuite, we live at *makes vague connection to number 23*
Jim Carrey: (Slowly and loudly) OH MY GOD!
Jim Carrey: (To policeman) We're not crazy! We just circled every 23rd word on every 23rd page of some book and it told us to come down here!
Highlight: Finding out who the author is.
Lowlight: Why does the old man kill himself?
Middlelight: I thought finding out who the author was a horrible idea when it happend, but they made it work.
Score: 8 out of 10.
Go and see it. Don't argue. Just do.

I actually reckon it worked really well as a serious psychological thriller too.
Your mention of token white guy reminded me of what you were saying about 24 the other night at bop... About how when the main black character leaves the show they bring in another one almost instantly as if to say "Look! We've got a black guy! We're not racist!". Brilliant 
Quote: Iris
I think the violence works a lot more in the cinema....I went to see it a couple of weeks back with Margaux, we were cowering in our seats at those bits because it was so...shocking.
Also, does anyone else think scary man with eyes in his hands looks like he's been made out of the fat you see around kidneys when you dissect them in biology?
I finally got to see it - hurrah!
Title: Pan's Labyrinth
Genre: Fantasy/War
Good actors: The little girl was really good, and Mercedes. Thought the mother was a bit wooden...
Products Placements: Grapes?
Minutes too long: None. Infact i'd have liked it to be longer.
Deaths: Yes
Attractive males: none
Attractive females: the mother was frequently referred to as pretty/beautiful...so her.
Pervs in the audience: Zero
Highlight: Revenge on El Capitain.
Lowlight: I'd have enjoyed more fantasy time I suppose.
Best Quote: I can't think of anything either
Rating: 10 out of 10.
You know what? I was actually expecting this to be way more violent and gory than it is from what I'd heard. I'm glad it wasn't. I really loved it. I'd recommend it to everyone, even if you don't watch many subtitled films, this definitely a must-see. Only wish I'd made the effort to see it at the cinema instead of on dvd.

Title: Stranger Than Fiction.
Genre:Romantic Comedy.
Good actors: Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhall, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Queen Lativfah.
Products Placements: None.
Minutes too long: None.
Deaths: It is a secret.
Attractive males: Will Ferrell?
Attractive females: Maggie Gyllenhall is really pretty.
Best Quote: "Harold nervously tried to make small-talk, 'You have very striaght teeth'. Very small talk.....He quickly calculated the odds of making an a*se of himself if he continued talking. 'I have to get off! This is my stop!' ".
"But a person who knows when he will die, and how, and yet willing is ready to die; isn't that a person you should try to keep alive?".
Highlight: It is really funny and smart, but also really sad and sweet too. It is like Being John Malkovitch and The Truman Show mixed together, I think. It is really sweet Harold and Karen noth make eachother lots more hopeful and happy, but they do not realise.
Lowlight: None.

So… Posting a new thread is Fission Mailing… so I’m putting this here.
Emma:
I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.
Emma:
I think it will be going offline around the end of May
Emma:
It’s been almost 10 years since James passed away… and I feel like it’s time.
