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

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (This must be like the 4th or 5th Woody Allen's I've seen this month)

I liked it. What you want vs. what you don't want in life. The search is constant.
 
End of the Century, The Ramones documentary. I didn't know much about them and it was pretty informative and had some good footage etc Interesting that they were the band whose gig inspired others in America after watching my next film since the Manchester films/docus always have to mention the Pistols gig.

Joy Division, another documentary. I already knew enough but there was some new stuff in there too. I do like Barney, he's always been my favourite but they should've left out the silly regression tape recording. Good to see Genesis P on it too, put a much different slant on things (as you'd expect). Also interesting to hear Anik's take on things.

Loads of similarities/cross references between the two films in fact, never meant to watch em both same night but a good evenings viewing nonetheless.
 
episodes 7 - 13 of the Wire S4 - phew! couldn't sleep so it turned into a 'fuck it' marathon. i think i have a bit of a thing for Snoop now though :hmm:
 
That's sounds like a cracking night in. :cool:

Oh yes yes yes, it was. :)

Im a sucker for all those films, the ones I watched and the ones like, '16 Candles' 'Pretty In Pink' 'The Outsiders' 'Oxford Blues' 'Betsy's Wedding' etc.

You get my drift. :oops:

I freakin' loooove them films so much. :)
 
Tonight I saw Dr. Strangelove for the first time, and a few nights ago O Brother, Where Art Thou. Loved both.

Am nearly through Amores Perros at the moment as well, which is also excellent.
 
Episode 3 of The Wire Season 2.

Good, but I miss the projects still.

And I really want someone to smack 'Ziggy' in the face hard. Does this feeling go away (no spoilers please)?
 
Angel A - beautifully filmed but rather empty B&W Besson with a leggy blonde angel helping out a pathetic loser and falling in love with him - if only life was like that. At least I have a new obsession, Rie Rasmussen:

The Escapist - brilliantly tense and impressively structured Brit prison escape thriller. Great performance from Brian Cox, though Joseph Fiennes or Stephen McIntosh don't look hard enough to be psychos.

Mum & Dad - as if Mike Leigh had directed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre featuring Fred & Rose West - some gruesome scenes, but nowhere near enough tension for it to be a successful horror film. No doubt the Mail will make a fuss about it for being torture porn but it's not particularly shocking or upsetting
 
The daughter had expressed interest in watching The Wire.

So on Saturday night, we watched the first 7 episodes of S1, back to back :D She was like 'more, MORE' after each one :D It's a fucking disease!!
 
I'm seriously considering buying a boxset of the Wire...it really bears repeated watching. I picked up on tons of stuff rewatching S1 that I missed first (and second) time around
 
Dazed and Confused. It was ace. Strange seeing Ben Affleck in the cast though. Thankfully he was playing a total arsehole.
