Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin
A german film with English subs.

Quote from IMDb
This is a real diary from a real woman. The woman cast in this film is too young too play the real woman. The diary was written by a woman in the basement of her bombed out building during the invasion of Berlin by The Red Army in the last months of WWII. It details the way German women survived the rapes the Red Army officers felt they deserved in victory. Anonymous uses one soldier to her advantage and essentially considers him her lover not her rapist. Her real fiancé returns from the front only to spurn her for being raped. The inginuity of the survival techniques used by the Berliners of this time round out Anon's tale. The diary should be read by every priveleged person, man or woman. Americans especially. War is no place for socialites.

War is not a pleasant experience. Those who follow the news know that there have been several of our own soldiers accused and prosecuted for rape and murder in Iraq. In all wars there are local citizens who prostitute themselves to feed their family. It is often hard to make a choice between honor and survivaL.

I can reccommend this film.

Godzilla - Final Wars, - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399102/
Multi monster mayhem and sub-standard Matrix style Mutant fighters, great fun though.

I am just about to put on Casino. This was inspired by a really cool post that GS made earlier today on the 'violent movies' thread, you see I never realized that this was a true story until I read that. So I wlll watch it now with renewed interest.

Am watching The Empire Strikes back on ITV1 , only i soon discovered it`s been edited for television as they`ve cut the part where Luke hacks off that snow creatures arm . Along with the scene where Han slices open the stomach of his steed to push Luke into and help keep him warm . Which is well weird to see , because the way it`s been edited if you didn`t know better you`d think Han was intending to shove Luke up the things backside ?. Because they didn`t show him cutting anything , so how`s he going to put Luke inside if not rectally ?

Class film though , just a shame about the adverts .

Bloody stupid scheduling if you ask me , why didn`t they save the two trilogies until Christmas and show one a day till new years eve ?

At a time where editing isn`t needed !

Not that i think it was anyway , bloody films a PG for gods sake

I'm watching it as well. The light sabre duel with Darth Vader still holds up well nearly 30 years on. Luke is just finding out information he could have gleaned from reading his birth certificate.

Just reading up on Lucas now (As you do) and it`s telling me what i always thought . That being Lucas only made Vader Luke`s father shortly before the pre-final script draft and after exhausting other plot possibilities. Lying neck-less slug , i`ve seen him claim at least five times that Vader was always down as Luke`s father and that he created the entire "Star War`s " universe based around that link.

Talk about a re-writer of his own history !

The guy could even give lessons to Jeff Archer !

Oh and right now i`m half watching Kung Fu Hustle

Just finished watching "Watchmen" - a visual masterpiece, but it deserves all the scathing criticism heaped on it.

Save yourself some money and buy the graphic novel instead.

Ditto - still my fave Star Wars movie, but all I kept thinking was: how did Lucas go from this slice of cinematic heaven to JAR-JAR BINKS????....

Psst - here's a clue:

Just finished on TCM. Stagey, but well acted and a really clever battle of wits between blind Susy Hendrix (Audrey Hepburn, superb) and a gang of highly dangerous and ruthless conmen villains who want her to produce a doll containing contraband which is somewhere in her apartment. The divided and disfunctional personalities of the villains are all nicely observed. Alan Arkin is splendidly creepy as the murderous, sexually twisted (he wants more from Audrey than just the doll) and loathsome Mr Roat; Richard Crenna also puts in a good turn as the light heavyweight villain, suave, plausible, quietly menacing, but determined that Mr Roat will get the doll and nothing else...But Susy Hendrix is not as easily victimised as either of them thinks.

It was a real treat to watch an old fahsioned dramatic thriller in which character is fate.
