Educating Rita. Bit naff/dated but worth it for Michael Caine's funny performance, stumbling about as a pissed-up, washed-up lecturer!
 
Ring - not as scary as I'd been led to believe but OK I s'pose.
Dead Man's Shoes - Ace. Really enjoyed this. I've yet to see Paddy Considine in anything shit. 'You, ya CUNT!' was a very good line. :D
Slumdog Millionaire - Chick-flick drivel.
 
United Red Army - the title gives it away, it's about the Japansese Red Army Faction uniting with the Red Left Faction in the early 70s to create the army of title and play at being silly buggers. Pisses all over the Baader-meinhof film, the first hour alone which is a largely documentary overview of Japanese radical politics from the very early 60s struggle onwards is a batter film tyhan BM. I then switcehs into a drama proper. The fact it was made by Kôji Wakamatsu who was involved in all this stuff rather than wannabe Tarantino helps. I'll not get into the politics of it beyond pointing out that these people were idiots.
 
Oh god, we've started.

Buffy. Season 1. Episode 1.

Only 143 to go. :eek:

We have just done the lot and really enjoyed it.
Wifey had seen them through once but I had never seen a minute of it.
Really got into the 'Buffyverse' and plan to do Angel when we can find the DVDs.

Got season 1 of Buffy on DVD this weekend for £2 from the car boot which was a touch :cool:
 
does it include that band some of whom jacked in radical music and hijacked a plane instead?
There was crossover with that lot yes but not covered in this film. In fact, the cultural types were far more into the hardcore political end in japan then most places in europe, except possibly Berlin -people like Les Rallizes Denudes (where the hijacker came from - fantastic band as well) Flower Travellin' Band etc. It seemd completly insane over there.

yeh, Cope's Japrock did a fair job of herding all that into a coherent(ish) narrative :)
 
Watched a pirated Funny People online. Not out yet over here, it's the new Judd Apatow one with Adam Sandler playing a famous comedian who has a life threatening condition and mentors Seth Rogan, who gets dragged into his nightmare disfunctional world. It's a very, very strange film indeed. Really funny at times, really sad at times, probably a bit too convoluted with pacing issues and a great cameo from Eminem. And one from Sarah Silverman too. Oh, and even Raymond from Everybody Loves Raymond.
 
I watched James and the Giant Peach, cos it was on Film4 yesterday affy and I was kernackered

Quite enjoyed it actually :cool:
 
Overnight - documentary about how a total douchebag and one-man bullshit machine called Troy Duffy got chewed up and spat out by Hollywood. Despite his utter cuntishness, I actually felt quite sorry for him.

Has anyone seen the film Duffy wrote and directed, The Boondock Saints? It looks shit and seems to star Billy Connolly as some kind of gun-toting madman.
