just watched Doctor Who - Horror Of Fang Rock :eek:
Underated story imo. :D but :eek:at Tom's manic grin on announcing they're all likely to be about to die. Didn't want Vince to
get killed
- he was sweet.
 
well i finished season 4 of the Wire - it took a couple of episodes to get with it - then get with it i did, and they broke my heart just a little bit more. don't know if i can cope with season 5 :( :oops: :D
 
The Miners Film, Cinema Action 1975. Lefty documentary about the Miners struggle and the 1974 strike, most notable for having an interview with my grandad in and some footage of a 3 year old me :cool:
 
Recent films I have watched are:

Gone Baby Gone - good film lots of talking points - 6.5/10
The Happening - with him from New Kids on the Block plot quite plausible - 5.5/10
In Bruges - Best of the lot very dark, funny and tragic - 8/10
 
News From a Personal War

Documentary on the Rio Favelas drug trade, comes as bonus stuff on City of God Dvd, a really interesting but depressing film. Well worth a watch.
 
Watched a couple of that ozzy pisstake documentary about that school where the bloke plays 3 different characters which was pretty good – gets better as it goes on.

For tomorrow night I’ve got a beautiful looking film called The Fall. About some dude in hospital who tries to convince the girl in the next bed to get the pills he needs to end his pitiful existence, so he creates this amazing story (which I think is where the main bulk of the film lies – in this wonderland he invents to entrance the girl).

Also got Cashback and Lucky Number Sleivin on the cards. No idea what they’ll be like.
 
The Ruins - a TV movie with that pretty blonde who had sex on a reality TV show. Average.

Bangkok Dangerous - Nicholas Cage was in it. And some very sexy Asian women. Bad film still.
 
Don't tell Mom the Baybsitter's Dead

It was fun! I like how Christina Applegate has to fake her way through a corporate job and the attentions of that boss. Kenny the stoner also makes me smile.

What is a tragedy though is the death of Christopher Pettiet (below in TV's Young Guns in 2000 at the age of 24 from an OD. What a bloody waste! :(

Sex Drive - it was a rubbish, cliched american comedy/road trip

The Visitor - Sad film, but it was a great relief to watch something of substance after the above rubbish
 
The Wave. Not sure, very interesting and requires a lot of thought, pretty shocking ending and unsurprisingly, not as true or inspired by true events as it's been marketted.

Well spent hour and fifty though, the teen enjoyed it too.
 
viddy felch for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Babylon
Not seen it for over 20 years on TV, unbelievably it turns up on DVD at my local video shop (who normally just keep the latest blockbusters and crap) :)
 
2 Elephants

Gus Van Sant last night followed by Alan Clarke this morning.

The Alan Clarke version had Danny Boyle and Mark Kermode commenting over the top. Thought I'd find it irritating but since the film has a miniscule amount of dialogue and sound it made it interesting.

Think I preferred the GVS film although they're much the same so far as being hard hitting.
