Excellent, it's definitely the best thing he's done although rumour has it, his next film is pretty special or so says producer Del Toro which is no surprise I guess lol. Continuing on, numbers 70 to 61.

McLennan;
you have quite an ecletic taste in films, not all to my taste, but each to his own.

In The Loop, must be 1 of the funniest, crudeist, politically incorrect films I've ever seen. Thought it was a pity that some of the out-takes were'nt included in the original, especially the "Hellraiser" gag.

They were both part of the recent World Cinema series on Film 4 I believe.

The actress enlightening the two yoofs was a hot piece of ass.

Maribel Verdu. Absolute stunner. And a good actress to boot. Y Tu Mama Tambien is pretty high up in my favourite films list to be honest. Superb stuff.

Just thought it was a mesmerising film, from the beginning when the lads were swimming ballocko in the pool, till the last scene, on the beach, when were informed she had passed away.

It has plenty to say for itself as a piece of work.

If you've made mistakes in life, (some of us aplenty) then it was, strangely cleansing. Aranofsky is a genius by the way, Requiem For A Dream, which I only saw for the first time last year, blew me well and truly away.

She is stunning and the film isn't to bad either.

I'm hoping to do a piece on The Wrestler and Black Swan in the next month or so, time permitting. Requiem is a definite favourite of mine so stay tuned lol.

I didn't like it at all, thought it was pretty poor and can't think of any redeemable features it has.
