Bought 3 films today from Wal-Mart. Walk the Line, Crash and Matrix - Revolutions. I realise now that I have already seen that Matrix film and its actually revelations I havent seen, so Ill probably take it back tomorrow.
I thought Walk the Line was pretty good. I thought Joaquin Pheonix did a good job and even sounded a lot and looked a lot like Johnny Cash. Did I miss part of the film though? I always thought his career high point was performing at San Quentin, and that wasn't in the film. The Fulsom prison gig was featured though. Also, I was a bit disappointed there was no mention of Cash's appearance on the TV show Columbo, where he played a rebel singer who got caught for some dastardly crime or other :-) Maybe I watch too many shows like Columbo, Quincy and Ironside?
Crash was utterly great. Well deserved Best picture Oscar. Its just one of those stories that grab your attention in the first ten minutes and doesn't let go until the credits are rolling.
Im not giving any of the inter-twining plots away, but I did work two or three of them out about half way through.
I need to buy some more DVD's now. I want to see Capote, Syriana, Good Night Good Luck and Jarhead. Any other recommendations? Are they on DVD in the UK yet or should I buy them out here before I go home?

Well I just watched Nanny McPhee with one of the Evolettes. Not bad, bit of a Mary Poppins rip off though.
Phil - are you deliberately blanking my comments or have you just not got to grips with how it works yet?
Hazard those are exactly the words I was searching for last night. That sums the film up. Such a disappointment. Im wondering if Matrix Revelations with be worth shelling out the green for
Evo...I don't think Phil has worked out how to use the publish/reject buttons yet :-)
i havent had any comments left for ages i think something must be wrong, i have checked all my settings. seem ok
Thats weird, cos Ive left a couple of comments on yours?
I've left a feww as well. Just assumed since one of them was pro black and white that you'd ignored it.
