I've not liked alot of Scorcese's more recent output, but I'm reaaaally looking forward to his 3D version of 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret' which he's about to put out, I thought it would have been a dead cert for Tim Burton to make and it's kinda nice to think Scorcese managed to get it.
Watched 'Into the wild' dir. Sean Penn recently, he's turning into the new Clint Eastwood, hasn't made a bad film yet. Lovely slow films about manly mysteries. Not brilliant, but, y'know, nice.

nah, nah. It's fucking great. Nicholson was rubbish, but the rest was great ensemble acting. Not qutie Glengarry Glen Ross, but in the same universe.

Watched Hanzo The Razor: The Snare yesterday
very good. funky ass pimped out porno-esque soundtrack.
think Zatoichi + A-Team + Rapeman + Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant and you are in the neighborhood
the opening credits show him tempering his weapon by striking it and thrusting it repeatedly in a large straw bale filled with dry rice
and by weapon i mean penis
(same director as Blind Beast btw)

if you like Kelly McDonald, then get Stella Does Tricks. Mind you, she's amazing in most anything she does.

I wonder if anyone can help me with some work I'm doing - which films depict the experiences of children affected by war in the developing world? I have seen Johnny Mad Dog, but few others come to mind...

Come and See, if you consider Belarusse the developing world, (...) I got a copy if you want to see it, you should anyway. Seminal film about kids and war.
Lord of War has lots of depictions of kids/guns in it a la Johnny Mad Dog but isn't really about it. Children of War was the documentary about the Ugandan kids army thing, don't have that but can ask around if you like.
Interesting question, will keep thinking.

This is what immediately sprang to mind - one of the most powerful films I've ever seen. You should watch it even if it isn't directly relevant re: developing world.
this was great...oates's performance is almost subtle, his jealousy sort of looms over everything. he isn't totally unhinged, more brooding.
unrelatedly, i saw the marriage of maria braun which i loved, trying to get into fassbinder.
Does anyone else think that The Seven Samurai goes on for too long?
City of God perhaps?

i'm undecided, but wouldn't argue against this film being his personal best.

i've got a bag full of Argento, so what are his best films? i've seen Suspiria, Tenebrae and Four Flies on Grey Velvet. all three films were decent enough, but a bit clumsy. wonderfully imaginative at times and a real pleasure hearing Goblin alongside Argento's garish imagery. there seems to be lots of disposable characters, perhaps lost on me from watching dubbed english version.
forgot that I've also seen Inferno.

I'm a big fan of first one; 'The Bird with the Crystal Plumage', 'Tenebrae', 'Deep Red' (maybe his best overall?), the first half of 'Suspiria', 'Opera' and also 'Phenomena' although I'll warn you that's not generally considered one his best - but to me it is like a fever dream with pure Argento... 'Four Flies' and "Cat 'O Nine Tails' are enjoyable as are 'Sleepless' and 'The Card Player'... I need to see 'The Stendahl Syndrome' again... many of his films are variable in tone when he's on he is great... 'Phantom', 'Two Evil Eyes' and 'Mother of Tears' are all pretty poor however...
'Come and See' is great film... also a big fan of 'The Ascent' not a 'kids in war film' but a great Russian miserable war film nevertheless...
'The Wicker Man' (fairly obviously), 'Witchfinder General' (maybe), 'Cry of the Banshee' - which I've not seen...
