The Magdalene Sisters (2002)
amazing tragic brilliant
it's hard to believe that the country we're all so proud of today is the hell hole depicted in this movie. this is such a shocking film. maybe we are used to hearing about priests preying on young children but to see Nuns do it is very disturbing. isn't it crazy that having children was treated as a mortal sin and that this legacy was only finished 9 years ago.
i only saw this movie last night and i'm too disturbed to write much more. the performances are incredible. absolutely gripping. nerve wracking and heart rendering. Eileen Walsh is better than Nell. She should have got an Oscar. They were all brilliant.
i wonder how many other secrets lurk in the Irish closet of shame.
The Time Machine (2002)
OK of a wet Tuesday afternoon Sam looks GREAT!
I've seen way better movies about time machines and the like but the sets in this were brilliant. very imaginative and at times surreal, kind of timeless quality which was nice. this was Sam's big debut and I was looking forward to seeing what she could do. she was excellent with the role she was given and has a body to die for. should have been more 'LOVE'LOVE'LOVE' scenes with her - I would have watched that! A bit too much crying for my liking although she seems good at that. best bits were her climbing the ladder. the yolks from under the ground and when she got put in a cage. the stuff dreams are made of!other than that it was pretty boring!
Messaggi quasi segreti (1996)
7/10 some good scenes and a great ass
Not a bad picture. I still don't know why a stuck up boring Italian lad would fall in love with a drugged up goth who keeps telling him to F off. some great talent here though. funny to see Eileen Walsh at the beginning of her career. not much to do in this movie but shes still very good. Brendan Gleeson is really funny especially with Gavin Keilty. Niamh O'Byrne is a total ride and very good at playing a mixed up teenager from a mad house. love the swimming scenes, should have been more shagging though, only got a glimpse! highlights of the film are the scrap scenes, the skinny dipping scenes (great arse) and the fathers getting stoned with the hippies. 7/10. not great but not terrible.
