I'm halfway through A Scanner Darkly - I'm not sure about it yet, but havn't got very far. Loads of people have recommended it to me.

What do you guys think?
 
ghosts, vampires and werewolves!

The Eye 2 and The Eye Infinity
...although the real title of the latter should be The Eye 10, or even Seeing Ghosts 10. The English subtitled and packaged releases call it The Eye Infinity because the manufacturers and distributors or someone believes our tiny little minds would get confused otherwise.
You see first was The Eye. But the real title was Jian Gui which means seeing ghosts. Then was made The Eye 2 (Seeing Ghosts 2). The third film in the sequence is called Seeing Ghosts Ten.
The reason here is that the first Eye centred around one of the ten ways in which living people can see a ghost.
The Eye 2 centred around the second of ten ways to see a ghost.
The Eye 10 or Infinity or Seeing Ghosts 10 rushes through in rather comic fashion the other eight to allow the Pang Brothers to move on to other filmic adventures.

Whereas the night before last I watched The Devil's of Darkness. Directed by Lance Comfort in 1965, this is a British vampire film set in Brittany and fairly Hammeresque.

The night before the night before last I watched The City of the Dead starring Christopher Lee as a Devil Worshiping witch (although that is a spoiler) concerning 'witchcraft' and human sacrifice.

The night before the night before the night before last I watched Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning. This is a prequal to the earlier Ginger Snaps and Gingersnaps Unleashed all of which concern two sisters plagued by lycanthropes and lycanthropy.
 
Watched a bit of Bill Hicks (just to angry up the blood) last night.

Film screened in my front room was Badlands and I really rated it. I think somebody in this thread recommended it so cheers for that.

The influence on True Romance and NBK was clear to see, right down to the music. Really well put together and a very easy watch.
 
Green Street

Any good? I liked the eye but didn't think it stood up to repeat viewing.

I just watched Grow your Own. A lovely uk-produced film about racism and allotments :)



This finally arrived yesterday :cool:

Opened the lovefilm case to take it out and watch it last night - really looking forwards it......only to find Shaun the fucking sheep, the other lovefilm rental that arrived earlier in the week and had already been watched.....and that heo had supposedly returned earlier that day.....




.......you can guess the rest can't you? :mad: :rolleyes: :D











<puts it back on the list>
 
Oh noooo!! I hope you gave him what for sheo.


I watched 3 Iron last night - someone on here must have recommended it, either OU or Leica. Whoever it was - thank you. What a great film :cool: Sooo different without being up its own arse. I loved how the 2 main characters never spoke, the life they lived (I soo wanna do that :D ), the simplicity, the grace, the humour...wow. I really really liked it :) :cool:

Oh don't you worry, I did!


Started off with the standard 'I would NEVER have done that.....' speech (it's true!!! :mad: ) and ended with the old constant stream of cups of tea coming my way whenever I requested one, in exchange for me shutting up about it completely ruining my fucking life :mad: for the rest of the evening. :)



I may start up again around 7 tonight if I fancy anything fetching from the kitchen. :cool:
 
That's some pretty impressive ranting you have there...I admire your persistence :cool:

I think that's where I go wrong - I would have exploded with 'you stupid fucking twat, are you fucking blind', all pop-eyed and spittle-flecked. THAT doesn't get you cups of tea all night, let me tell you

yes, the Eye 2 is good and has no link with the Eye except in terms of theme.

Eye 10/infinity is er over the top, funny, silly and verging on slapstick. A parody of the earlier films. I enjoyed, but t is silly. The breakdancing ghost is especially fun.
 
Sweeney Todd - The one with Ray Winston playing the role expected it to be more violent but came over as a tortured soul / unrequieted love kinda thing, still good though
 
Yesterday I watched House Party again for the first time in ages. It's so great :) I remember the first time I saw it, being blown away by a culture where teenage kids would have a house party not to get pissed or smoke cruddy reefers, but just to dance. Well cool.
 
my blueberry nights - a wong kar wai film.
so glad norah jones didn't disappointed. some great actings there. nice storyline and soundtracks.
love the kissing scene on the diner table top.
 
Live Free Or Die Hard (crappily retitled Die Hard 4.0 in this country). Not a patch on the first DH but pretty good all the same. Nice to see a Hollywood film right now in which the bad guys are white rather than moustache-twiddling Muslim stereotypes.
 
recent viewing
Red Dwarf - Bodysnatchers set
both the unmade Bodysnatchers episode & the other unused script extracts - Dad etc. (reconstructed with new storyboard illustration & Chris Barrie doing all the voices:D )

love the idea that Rimmer has a shopwindow dummy in his locker so he can practice undoing bras:eek: :D
both with and without Rob Grant & Doug Naylor's commentory.

The first few episodes of Henry's Cat series 2
episodes 1&2 of Doctor Who: Talons of Weng Chiang - Tom Baker dress as Sherlock Holmes getting attacked by Ninjas and chasing (NOT)the phantom of the opera:cool:
 
House of The Dead by Uwe Boll, the German one man tax avoidance scheme ....:eek:
Does anyone know how to remove the memory of watching this "movie" from one's brain, short of repeatedly hitting oneself over the head with a rubber mallett....
 
^^I recorded A vs P.

I watched Bus 174 on Dvd. Brazilian documentary about a bus Hijack.

Reminded me of One day in September, police were fucking useless.

Also had a lot on the background of the hijacker, a street kid.

Well worth a watch.
