What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

[ovaltina]

I just bought South West 9 on Amazon for a whopping 99p

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...ils?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1229430044&sr=8-1&seller=

Might watch it tonight.

David cronenbergs "shivers" 10p from tat shop ,worth every penny

I was about to watch Cronies Spider last night but it wouldnt work so I ended up watching The City of Lost Children instead.

Didnt realise it was by the same guy who did Delicatessen til I clocked the actor who is in both films and the same style - another beautiful film, pretty mad to get your head round, probably needs another watch. The geezer out of Hellboy was in it as well. Fucking ace.

 

[ringo]

Requiem For A Dream. Brilliant and nasty.

 

[geekpenguin]

"Home Alone" - we're going through a run of Christmas movies in the evenings atm. Tonight it might be "Elf", but I'm not sure.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Half of Horton Hears a Who: but then I Hit the Hay.

 

[corporate whore]

Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil.

Dull.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Ruins - surprisingly effective daft horror film about man-eating plants attacking dumb tourists
Iron Man - load of expensive shite

 

[Yetman]

Some porno starring my mates ex mrs and Omar

 

[sojourner]

A Room for Romeo Brass

fucking brilliant took me a few moments to realise that was Paddy Considine!

My Mrs went to school with Omar - what was it called? I have to tell her.

 

[N_igma]

American History X- I don't know, it just gets worse everytime I watch it. Pushes the message too far into your face and Derek's transformation into and out of nasty racist was not believable in the slightest.

 

[Sadken]

Ghostworld - Cheesy in parts but much better than I expected.

 

[ooo]

Match Point

Enjoyed it. I liked the way Woody Allen tells a story, especially where on the ghosty inner thoughts.

 

[Sadken]

Cool. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but that was a joke up there.

 

[ooo]

Not his best of course. But again I haven't seen enough of his films to know.

 

[Sadken]

I love you, ooo. I want to have sex with you. May I?

 

[100% masahiko]

Not his best of course. But again I haven't seen enough of his films to know.

Check out Sleeper, Deconstructing Harry, Sweet and Lowdown, The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Kinda stopped watching him, once I read he was fucking his Vietnamese daughter.

 

[rubbershoes]

Mrs Shoes decided she wanted to watch Titanic last night

and our internets was broken so

gggrrrr...I fucking hate that film. Always get full of the urge to bang the fuckers fingers when he's hanging onto the lifeboat get OFF

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

A Room for Romeo Brass

fucking brilliant took me a few moments to realise that was Paddy Considine!

I love the way that all the goodies are baddies at the end and all the baddies are goodies (apart form the kids) top film.

 

[sojourner]

Yep Paddy C is just fucking awesome in it, as were the kids - actually ALL of the characters are spot on. Loved the final scene with Knock's dad, in the front garden

 

[Mapped]

A dodgy VHS rip of Threads That was very bleak, dark and shocking, but Nuclear Holocaust is hardly going to be a tea party.

I'm glad I was too young in the '80s to be shown this stuff, also today it's hard to believe that a film like that was made by the beeb.

 

[The Octagon]

Last 2 episodes of The Wire Season 1.

More resolution than I was expecting, although it was good to see the symmetry of the courthouse scenes at the beginning and end of the season.

Interested to see what direction they go in Season 2 now, fingers crossed people have got the hint for my Christmas presents!

 

[sheothebudworths]

Cassandra's dream, which was imo a pile of absolute fucking pants!

Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrel doing Lahndan accents made it even more painful (presumably Woody Allen's not good at distinguishing between a decent go at the accent and an appalling one).

 

[Grandma Death]

Donkey Punch. It had its moments but overall quite a nasty piece of trash with some goddam awful acting I have to say.

 

[Mapped]

When I was laid up in bed I got a bit square eyed, some of the stuff I watched:

"Milk"

First rate stuff from Van Sant. Sean Penn is excelllent as Harvey Milk

"Frost/Nixon"

I really enjoyed this. It made me want to go round grumbling like Richard Nixon afterwards though

"Everything is Illuminated"

Great film. Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello is in it, as is Elijah Wood as an American tourist tracing his families roots in the Ukraine. There's some great humour, especially Hutz's translation of his 'blind' grandfather's Ukranian into English. It's essentially a Ukranian road trip film which starts off humourously and ends up becoming very moving and emotional.

"Lakeview Terrace"

Boring

"Sons of Anarchy" TV Series

Entertaining FX series from the people behind The Shield about a Californian biker chapter with a great cast including Ron Perlman. There's guns, drugs, violence and harleys, as well as decent plotlines....what more could you want I'm looking forward to the next series already.

"Russell Howard Live DVD"

I couldn't stop laughing, he's much funnier in this than he is on Mock the Week.

 

[purplex]

The last two of the bourne trilogy films, excellent

 

[Ranbay]

Angus thong and something about snogging... was ok, the bird loved it and shit.

 

[corporate whore]

The first few Our Friends In The North - how've I never seen this before? Great stuff
