Do tell how you liked it. I have not been able to find a copy of this movie for sale in the US yet...

I am still reading Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer by Chris Salewicz, which I highly recommend. I just finished the part where Joe produced Hell's Ditch and there is some great stuff in there for any Pogues fan to read.

I'll let you know Clash Cadillac, will be watching in around two hours from now.

And I'm still reading that too, only taken me six months and I'm not up to that bit yet, just don't get the time. :wink:

It was really good, really worth the money, the only thing I was disappointed with was that there was only a brief mention of the time he spent working with The Pogues and they only mentioned Straight To Hell once also. I don't think they showed a clip of Straight To Hell either - don't remember seeing one anyway.

Other than that we counted at least four sightings of a young Shane MacGowan in the audience (blink and you miss it), and my partner thought he saw Philip Chevron at one point, although if he did I missed it.

Well worth seeing.

Saving Private Ryan

Though I now do not see why it was such an epic success back when it came out, seeing it again made me remember once again how important it was that America came over and saved Europe from itself.
What kind of fuckery is this?

Samsara, (for the third time) directed by Pan Nalin who is a really cool Indian guy. It was filmed in Ladakh in the Himalayas. It's a spiritual love story, about a Buddhist monk who falls in love with a village girl. The sound track is very beautiful.

Deliverance & BIG FISH

...which apparently both feature Banjo Boy Lonnie, Billy Redden. I was reading that when they filmed the dueling banjos scene and the kid is supposed to turn sinister... he didn't. He liked the other actor in the scene, Ronny Cox, too much. So they had Ned Beatty, whom Redden really disliked, step forward. Ha, ha. Cool kid.
