Saw it about a year ago and absolutely loved it. The length of of the whole thing and subtitles might put a few people off? Cassel was absolutely brilliant in it.

rlHaving post-Halloween thoughts on [iThe Shining[/i?rl

Can anyone recommend any films along the line of Inception/Source Code/The Adjustment Bureau?

Do you mean films that are an ongoing puzzle? If so try theseeXsitenZ
Dark City
Total Recall
Twelve Monkeys
Primer [/i(you'll need to watch this more than once to feel that you've satisfactorily got it)
[iGhost In The Shell [/i(Japanese animation but don't let that put you of because it has big ideas and the squel is every better)
[iTimecrimes [/i(Spanish)
[iThe Ninth Configuration [/i(dated a bit this)
[iStrange Days[/i (sort of)
[iVertigo[/i (not sci-fi though lol)

Some horror which all contain plenty of gore but are similar (none of them are an easy watch)
[iTriangle
Switchblade Romance
Inside
Martyrs[/i

I'd add Minority Report, Cypher and Paycheck to that list. Paycheck isn't really anything special but falls in with the sci-fi mystery type genre.

Jacobs Ladder too

It was a depressingly bleak snapshot of not so very long ago.
Stan wasn't a happy chappie.

Terrific soundtrack.

Defo aye.

rlMy October in filmrl.

Contagion 7/10

Quite a good film surprisingly. Was expecting the usual, over the top, heavy handed American treatment about mass destruction, but turned out to be quite thoughtful on its subject without offering a different theory as to where germ related death comes from. Only real quibbles were, a few of the sub-plots remained unaswered at the end of the film and Jude Law's cheesecutter. how very English...

Next week, The Haunting, which looks quite promising from the trailer, but remakes of The Thing and Straw Dogs look avoidable. Through viewing the trailers, both look to be lacking the aptmosphere of the originals.

rlThe Dude abides. Can you?rl.

On BBC4 now.

I'm just tuning in.

Mmmmm.

I was getting flashbacks, deja-vu stylee.
I think I'd seen it before.
Sat and watched it anyway.

The Public Defenders were class-acts.
The Homicide teccies a bunch of inept w@nkers!

Into rlmy top 20 films of the 00srl.

Some great choices there.

Thought Fassbenders portrayal of Bobby Sands was depressingly brilliant. He certainly got bodily into character.

Caught Tony Manero on Film4 a while back.
The pitch blackest of comedies. found it fairly transfixing.

Enjoyed Dogville although I nearly gave up on it early doors.

Got Kaitlin Varga recorded after your recent recommendation so will be getting an airing shortly.

Have you caught this one Mc ? www.film4.com/reviews/2006/lights-in-the-dusk Observing the gritty bleakness of some of your selections I think you may possibly enjoy it. I did. Film4 late tomorrow night.
