Lost in La Mancha – a great way to cure yourself of ever wanting to be a director. I’m only actually half watching it right now because it is just so damn painful seeing Terry Gilliam grimace in horror as fighter planes and freak hailstorms completely ruin his shoot.

The Lake House – I expected a soppy movie, but this is just flaccid. By now people expect Keanu to be a bit dull, and Sandra Bullock isn’t about to win best actress, but this… it’s just so awful! Even the vaguely interesting supernatural premise is completely wasted– and the letter writing concept isn’t even properly maintained, as the script slides lazily into exchanges which just sound like two people having an extremely boring phone conversation. I walked out after an hour, when I realized it just wasn’t going to improve.

Night Watch (Nochnoy Dozor) – I saw this on DVD and really regretted having missed it at the cinema. Like a Russian (and much better) version of Underworld, with some really nice direction and photography.

Lost (TV) – Why did I get sucked back into watching this? It’s just going to keep dragging on, isn’t it– until it’s so awful and inconsistent that no one bothers to watch it, and then it will just be cancelled. Why can’t season 2 be the last? Why couldn’t the whole island have been blown up? And why the fuck does Charlie just wander back to the beach to sit around a campfire after seeing Lock, Echo and Desmond essentially nuke themselves? (or did they??? etc etc)
