oh i went and saw the invention of lying today. interesting plot but with a lot of flaws that the film didn't even try to cover up. like, just because people dont know how to lie doesnt mean they dont know how to keep their mouths shut. characters in the movie just say the first things that come to their minds. except for ricky's character who just stands there taking abuse lol... why doesnt he say whats on his mind?
and when he first gets the idea to lie.. its so anti-climactic. they should have built it up since its supposed to be such a momentus achievement that noone else can even imagine what it is.
and the ending was just terrible, ugh.. typical hollywood trash.
ricky gervais is a funny man, and his writing does have its moment (there are still individual scenes and lines in his movies that are very funny), but overall as a movie writer, he is very very lazy. |

Both of Gervais's Hollywood films have looked really average, from what I've seen. Considering that he's responsible for brilliant shows like The Office and Extras, I can only imagine that he's given little to no creative freedom by the studios. Kind of sad to see, really.

That is possibly the most appalling thing you have ever written. Lol.

Have you seen that bit though? It's hilarious. It's the way she cries in the movie, it's funny!! I must say there were at least two other people who cracked up too.

Haha, I'm way too soppy. The 1968 version of the film still makes me teary!

The movies are pretty good, but the books are better.

The last movie I saw was Paranormal Activity, on Halloween night. I really enjoyed it. It's funny how a movie set in one house, with two people in it (well there's another bloke briefly) can maintain your interest throughout but this movie certainly achieves it. Excellent movie. And if you're sharp you can catch the sheila in it pouring herself a glass of Australian [yellowtail] shiraz in one of the opening scenes.

That's my all time favourite movie!
At the cinema I saw "New Moon" last Thursday night. Wasn't as good as "Twilight" I thought, but as that book was my least favourite in the series it was to be expected.
The last DVD I watched was "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". Not as creepy as I expected but an interesting movie. Had me googling the real story 2 minutes after it was finished!
I've been taking advantage of the free Foxtel movies before they're cut off and since last week have watched some old favourites including;
16 Candles
An Interview with a Vampire
The Bridges of Madison County
Zoolander
Patch Adams
Braveheart
Terms of Endearment
JFK
Big Trouble in Little China
10 Things I Hate About You
Mary Poppins
Yep, I'm gonna miss those channels when they take them away. But not enough to pay extra to keep them!
