It’s eighties, Seattle. Before Nirvana, there used to be jazz. Two guys struggling to earn a living by playing piano tunes and a call girl who moves their act into the spotlight. The rest is parsley, okey?

I was a teenager when I first watched it. It left me with that funny sentimental feeling you get after losing a girl. When I finally managed to see it again, more than a decade later (thanks Martin), I realized it hadn't lost its charm for me at all. It must have been the soundtrack I was listening to during all those years (thanks Dave Grusin).

A smooth jazzy flick with a memorable scene of Michelle Pfeiffer singing on top of a piano. Jeff is supercool. Worth seeing. Once. And then again.

While in Sydney a few months ago, we went through several movie marathons. One of the midnight chillers was Paul Thomas Anderson’s second feature, Boogie Nights, starring Mark Wahlberg’s manhood.

Man, did we have fun watching it! We only wish it was a bit shorter. Talking about the film, of course.

And regarding the same number of stars; we keep promising and promising, yet we seldom deliver. We guess we must be men or something!

Dirk Diggler - what an iconic name!

Martin

Marky Mark grew into an actor as he demonstrates in this overlooked movie. However, his penis probably didn't. That's why he's showing a prosthetic.

This is neither a movie for a broad audience, nor an indie flick. However, worth seeing for all those Edward Norton fans around (like two of us). Just because he is such a nice guy. And because Naomi Watts is such a lady. By the way, sorry for the same number of stars again. We’ll try better next time.

Lovable company of actors, but characters evolve too quickly to be convincing for my liking. Maugham's novel might work better.

Martin

Edward Norton is as good as ever. Movie might be a bit condensed, yet still enjoyable. Quiet night and good wine might help, too.

Finally, we both saw a movie that we have a different opinion about. It sucked, and it was pretty hard to find beauty in it. Except for Ms Johansson, of course.

Gabriel

Is this an attempt at film noir? Disappointing.

Martin

A typical example of a bad movie. Plot is so incoherent that it makes one wonder if at least makers knew what was it all about.

Today, we were discussing if there ever was a movie that two of us went to see together. We actually found one in last ten years, so we’re quite happy to present another. That will probably be it for a while, we guess.

Being in Surfers Paradise (where we do absolutely nothing), we decided we would see and comment on a British flick, one that was given a positive reviews from both audience and critics. Mind you, it’s pretty hard to find such a gem.

Gabriel

One star for funky British accents, another for handful of gags. Pretty lame reasons, innit?

Martin

What an experience! 75 minutes of painful boredom nailed by a thrilling finish of unstoppable laughs.
