The Changeling - Excellent movie Clint Eastwood's turning out to be an ace Director

 

[DJ Squelch]

Starcrash 1979 - so bad it's good space epic, kind of Barbarella meets Star Wars. Plenty of hilariously over the top performances.
Worth watching just for the baddies evil laugh & Caroline Monro's leather space bikini -

phwooaarr

 

[Fictionist]

In Bruges

 

[Badgers]

Buffy at the moment.
Never seen it before but not bad.

 

[Fictionist]

Buffy? As in the vampire slayer?

 

[Badgers]

That one

 

[madamv]

I started re watching series 1 of the Green Wing when I went to bed a bit pished....

May continue the trend though coz I had a lovely dream about Stephen Mangan

 

[Fictionist]

That one

Featuring the rather lovely David Boreanz. Yum.

 

[Pie 1]

Clint Eastwood's turning out to be an ace Director

Turning
He's been directing since 1971

Maybe in 1992, the year he made The Unforgiven, you could be forgiven

 

[baldrick]

a shonky copy of seven pounds lent to us by a mate with taste issues.

i had no idea what was going on until most of the way through it - a lame plot device deliberately employed to disguise how fucking poor the film was.

will smith attempting to be serious - he has two expressions and used them both liberally. irritating.

 

[belboid]

La Vie En Rose. great performance by Cotillard, and a good film, quite engrossing, but also quite confusing in many places, why the need for the constant jumps back and forward in time? left us both wondering who was who at a few points, and wasn't even sure who'd been shot at first. well worth a watch still, tho

 

[El Jefe]

Stewart Lee - 41st Greatest Stand-Up. Which proves, again, that he is in fact FIRST greatest stand-up.

Plus series one of The InBetweeners, which is infantile vulgar crap and absolutely wonderful "oooh - new car fwiend"

 

[rollinder]

saw Deathtrap on the telly - quite fun
Unusual role for Christopher Reeve
and

Spoiler: twist

him and Michael Cane snog

I watched Rec last night. Spanish zombie/infected shocker 'scariest film ever made' it said on the box The best thing about it were the amazing apartments.

The DVD menu was over a scene from the film which consequently failed to shock half the people I was with but I didn't notice so jumped, even though it was clear what was going to happen.

I had the feeling that if it was in English it would've been clearer how bad the acting was.

Spoiler: Rec

The skinny woman at the end was really properly skinny. Did they raid an anorexic clinic for players?

 

[Yetman]

Eastern Promise - pretty good film about russian mafia in London, not your typical Cronenburg but engagine enough and has Vincent Cassell in it. Worth a watch.

I know quite a few people who hated it, but I thought it was a good 'un myself.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Escape from LA" which we recorded a little while ago.

A bit rubbish but kinda hard not to enjoy it - an undemanding film for a lazy Sunday evening

 

[Sunspots]

This weekend, I've watched season one of Mad Men. Enjoyed it far more than I expected to. (-Is season two the last, or is it ongoing?...)

Also, Fur. Not at all the biography I expected or wanted; that it's a film about Diane Arbus seems almost incidental to the plot. A strange one.

Prog Britannia

Fantastic programme - we ended up watching it twice as we made my from-the-golden-age-of-prog-rock brother watch it with us just to see the tears of recognition and remembrance roll down his face

And dig out Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" and a few similar albums afterwards!

 

[El Jefe]

Is that on iplayer?

i got it from a torrent - working through dozens i've had kicking about and not got round to

 

[Orang Utan]

I loved the ELP trucks

 

[Sunspots]

I've recently re-discovered Matching Mole's . Lovely song, gorgeous arrangement, and a typically fragile Robert Wyatt vocal.

And speaking of BBC4 music documentaries, coming up this week: Do It Yourself: The Story Of Rough Trade. Should be good stuff.

(-And thinking about it, Robert Wyatt is one of the few artists that could conceivably feature in both that and the Prog documentary!... )
