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

[sojourner]

No Country For Old Men isn't all that either.

I thought that was ace myself

 

[Goatherd]

LOVE this show. I honestly think they got better with each series and series 3 has "the fairsley difference", which is maybe my favourite bit out of many, many to choose from.

I just started on Series 4 last night and have changed my mind. It's surprising and a bit depressing that Mr.Show has never been given a proper release over here.

There's lots to admire about it (it's superbly acted and looks beautiful) but the last 20 minutes didn't work for me at all. Avoiding the big Hollywood ending we were all anticipating was a nice idea but they didn't replace it with anything very interesting. It just sort of spluttered to a halt.

 

[El Jefe]

Fuck - I was gonna watch that! Dogme innit?

dogme-ish.

sweet and sad and a small, simple movie.

 

[grubby local]

again on TV, my God, what a doc. I'm tearful, speechless.

'Stranded'.

The story told by the survivors of the 1972 plane crash in Chile.

"It is simply one of the best stories of human perseverance ever and the film conveys this with absolute accuracy."

Black Book - which i really enjoyed apart from the dodgy last few seconds

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

on TV, Wilbur wants To Kill Himself. A sad and lovely little film

God that brings back memories. What a dreary film that was.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Fuck - I was gonna watch that! Dogme innit?

I would say no.

 

[butchersapron]

Late Bloomer - Japanese film, bloke in wheelchair with muscular dystrophy becomes a serial killer. Sounds like a typical piece of exploitation junk, but it's not. It's a film about frustration and obsession and dealing with bad thoughts.

 

[starfish]

The Wire S5 ep 10 . Now what?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Black Book - which i really enjoyed apart from the dodgy last few seconds

You mean the final scenes with the Dutch humiliating the former collaborators?

 

[butchersapron]

noi the albino - not entirely succesful film about a juvenile empty space in Iceland. It's complulsory when talking about Icelandic films to say something like lovely scenery. There was no scenery in this film. A fitting start to my iceland season.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Wicked City - Japanese movie, It's basically the Nightwatch Trilogy crammed into 90 mins.

 

[derf]

I just started watching series one of Blackadder.
Very good.

 

[Fictionist]

Bolt.

Loved the Hamster.

 

[breasticles]

1980 and 1983 of the red riding trilogy. ehhh. maybe because i was sewing, and not watching properly (probably because of that) but just could not engage with it, and that's despite it featuring The Heavenly Considine. i just thought it was... quite boring. and i feel quite guilty about saying that, probably because the critical response was a Massive Lake of Journojizz and i feel like i have missed something very crucial and meaningful.

 

[andy2002]

Baby Mama - Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are in it, which makes watching it just about worthwhile. It's incredibly fluffy though.

 

[May Kasahara]

I watched most of the first one on telly and felt the same, tbh.

Finally got round to watching The Bourne Identity on Friday night and really enjoyed it. A superior glossy action flick.

 

[dilute micro]

I saw a western staring William Shatner called White Comanche. He always acts like hes tripping out in every thing he's in.

 

[zoooo]

Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.
It was good.

 

[isitme]

I watched Waynes World last night

 

[butchersapron]

Angelopoulos' fist full length film - Anaparastasi/Reconstruction - bit like Rashomon with biting social commentary - a great debut.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I watched Waynes World last night

The Waynes World and Bill and Ted films are masterpieces. Probably the high point of US pop culture movies IMO.

 

[Sadken]

Watched Semi Pro for the third or fourth time. Like all Will Ferrell films, it gets better with every viewing and has now reached the level of being "pretty funny as it goes" for me. It's better than Blades of Glory, not as good as Step Brothers.

 

[Voley]

Angela's Ashes. A hoot from start to finish.

 

[Badgers]

A-Team

 

[butchersapron]

P.V.C.-1 - woman has bomb strapped round her neck in Colombia and tries to remove it. That's the whole plot. Interesting but mostly for technical reasons - it consists of a single continuous 80+ minute take and looks absolutely exhauting to have made. Nice to see someone trying something different.

 

[El Jefe]

over the last few web free days in hospital:

House of Sand & Fog. If you wrote the plot down it would sound like a ludicruous melodrama, and maybe it is, but I absolutely loved it. And Jennifer Connelly
Memories Of Murder. Pretty good.
The Getaway. Wonderful film except for Ali McGraw who can't act for shit.
The Night James Brown Saved Boston. Decent telling of a familiar story
Dark City (Directors Cut). A great movie that needed a better budget.

Wow, three films in a row I agree with you wholeheartedly about
