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

[El Jefe]

The Grifters - great movie, Huston is stunning

 

[colbhoy]

Episode 8 (The Last Patrol) of Band of Brothers. Watched episodes 6 and 7 on Wed and Thursday night respectively. They are quite probably the 2 best episodes of the whole series.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Mean Girls, on Film 4. Thought it was pretty excellent, love these dark kind of US teen films, like that, Heathers, etc.

Righteous Kill

 

[isvicthere?]

"The Sopranos" series 5, episode 3. The one where Junior starts to lose the plot and Tony hastily cuts him out, then thinks better of it.

the color purple

 

[Voley]

Naked, the Mike Leigh film. Been years since I saw it. Weirdly, for a movie that made very little sense to me, I really enjoyed it.

 

[The Octagon]

Episode 8 (The Last Patrol) of Band of Brothers. Watched episodes 6 and 7 on Wed and Thursday night respectively. They are quite probably the 2 best episodes of the whole series.

Seconded, been watching some of these recently.

 

[Pie 1]

The Wrestler.

Wonderful.

 

[Badgers]

Buffy
Have I got news for you

[ViolentPanda]

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

 

[Pie 1]

Wall-E.

Absolutely gobsmacking animation & refeshingly smart too.

Loved the fact that there wasn't even any dialog for the 1st half of the film - Beautifully made - an animation classic for sure.

 

[dlx1]

Got round to seeing Bond - Quantum of Solace
Rubbish and slow

 

[rollinder]

just had a mini Dexter marathon, catching up on the lasst four episodes of season two that'd missed
knew spoilers that she'd

Spoiler: last episodes

kil Doakes and then get killed by Dexter but not like that or that she's set up Angel for rape then try and kill both Dexter and the kids by having them burn to death too

now all I need is to find a reliable stream to catch up on the last few episodes of The Wire before season two starts

 

[breasticles]

into the wild. christopher mccandless was a bit of a fool, fair do's, but its a beautiful film and emile hirsch is my new imaginary boyfie.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Kill Bill 1 & 2

 

[kropotkin]

The first half of the original Manchurian Candidate which was really good.

 

[Badgers]

The Devil's Advocate

 

[sojourner]

Dead Man

A Jim Jarmusch film, black and white, set in western frontiers, funny, violent, intelligent - stars Johnny Depp whose name is Bill Blake, and a character of a native American who is convinced JD is THE William Blake and keeps quoting at him - I fucking loved it

Oh, and Robert Mitchum fucking rocks in it as well, as does Lance Henriksen

Over the past few days:

Juno - yeah, a nice film! I didn't find her as annoying as my friend said she is, actually I thought she was very good.

The Wave - interesting concept, I like how we aren't supposed to view any particular character or aspect of the group as necessarily good or bad - it's just what's happening.

Into the Wild - lovely film; great soundtrack, beautifully shot!

Osama - about a family of women living in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. They need to daughter to pretend she is a boy so she can work and make money. It's really not a happy film, but I'm glad I watched it.

The Story of the Weeping Camel - beautiful! About a nomadic Mongolian family and their camels... they love their camels! I would recommend this to anyone, it's a lovely story and not that long. Patchy subtitles but they're not really needed all the time anyway!

The Circle - a series of short loosely interconnected stories of different Iranian women. Nicely done, lots of symbolism, plenty of tension but not a happy ending, or beginning, or middle.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I found that Osama quite upsetting.

I recommend a film called Five In The Afternoon. It's a lot subtler than Osama but covers a lot of the same issues.

 

[moonsi til]

Oh man just watched the last 2 episodes of S3 of The Wire...been a real roller coaster with plenty of twists and turns..

 

[smmudge]

I found that Osama quite upsetting.

I recommend a film called Five In The Afternoon. It's a lot subtler than Osama but covers a lot of the same issues.

I loved At Five in the Afternoon!

 

[sojourner]

Blair Witch 2 - it was on the telly.

Did the usual stupid thing of being alone in the house, telling myself not to be scared it was only a stupid film ffs, but closing the blinds anyway...and then fucking SHITTING myself when I heard noise in the living room

was the daughter who'd come home early from a party

 

[mentalchik]

Day The Earth Stood Still - Ok'ish i spose as long as you don't compare it to the old film.......

 

[pboi]

Fanboys


loved getting all the geek jokes and cameos

 

[ViolentPanda]

The first half of the original Manchurian Candidate which was really good.

Pisses all over the re-make, that's for sure.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Stargate-Continuum. A nice attempt at keeping the franchise ticking over. Good to see so many of the main characters get killed, even if it wasn't permanent.

Pirates of the Caribbean-At World's End. I'm a sucker for pirate films, and this one had plenty of LOL moments. Got to love the monkey and the parrot!
