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

A Very Long Engagement - beautiful as always with Jean Pierre Jeunet's films, went on for a bit and kind of dragged in the middle but got going again toward the last quarter when you started to understand the story better and the intrigue picked up.

Recommended, for those who like sceneery & stories over action & drama.
 
:confused:

Theres actually a german fokker in a very long engagement.

This is the 2nd time I've had weird coincidences happen today. Hmmm.
 
Southland Tales - WTF? Even more wilfully obscure and incoherent than Donnie Darko - it's the worst kind of pretentiious toss - plumbs new levels of shallowness, whilst hoping forlornly people will misread convoluted and confusing as deep and interesting.
And The Rock and SMG are fucking terrible actors.
I didn't like it
 
Do you think you are unconsciously trying to make yourself more grumpy?

perhaps - though i'm at lovefilm's power when it comes to films to watch - next up is a film about a a miner's strike in West Virginia in the 20s - I doubt that will cheer me up and Saw IV won't either
 
aye! Any good? A commie mate highly recommends it and it is a John Sayles film, so I thought it was bound to be quality
 
well I've gone all serious and am watching a torrent of Adam Curtis docs - the first series is Pandora's Box - which so far seems to be about Soviet uber rationalism. applying sciences like engineering to human behaviour - some great use of arhive footage. He works hard, that Curtis.
 
Watched "Let the Right One In" the Swedish vampire flick last night at the Genesis cinema on the Mile End Road for £3.50. Wasn't what I expected but very good none the less even though it was quite gory for my tastes.
 
Did really enjoy S2, last few episodes were wicked :cool:

Seems that a lot of people have found the quality starts going downhill now but I will stick with it and see how we find it.

I haven't actually watched series 3 properly, but I found 4/5/6 just started getting really samey. There was much more variety with S2 and the whole stitching Tom up was done really well.
