Assault On Precinct 13 remake.
Not bad, but not a patch on the original.

Another excellent Kevin Spacey film.

The French version or the American one?

i.e. The excellent one or the shite one?

(Taxi I'm referring to, as far as I am aware there is only one Depeche Mode!).

i watched the american 'taxi'.
but i have a good excuse - i was on a plane. in fact, two planes in a row. and there wasn't much left to choose from, i watched 5 films in 24 hours. as well as watching some sitcoms, playing on the built-in snes 8) and reading a book.
but yeah american 'taxi' was trash...

I didn't think too highly of the French Taxi either; then again, Taxi 2 really ruined it for me!

I found it really funny.

Not knowing much about french culture and humour (having lived in Spain for 8 years I didnt really get the spanish humour!), but I did find Taxi very amusing, taxi 2 was just as amusing for me. Quite tacky films admittedly but some of the humour is very dark and I really liked the trip hoppy soundtrack.

Watched two over the weekend...

Its all gone Pete Tong - which was very enjoyable and Paul Kaye was excellent.

Be Cool - again very enjoyable and lots of laughs would recommend both for a lazy sunday afternoon!

Star Crap....

Star Wars Ep III, finally.

Yes I'm a big Star Wars fan & no I don't have a good excuse for not seeing it in theaters. After seeing it though I'm glad I didn't spend the $$$.

I'm so disappointed with nearly every aspect of it. Lucas should have just left it all alone, done the three original movies & called it quits! The only thing I really enjoyed was the final battle between Obi & Ani, & even the way that ended let me down.

I have so many problems with the new film's stories & they just got worse with each movie. Everything mythical & spiritual about the original three films has been destroyed IMO.

Argh... Just eye candy. What a shame.
