[Nanker Phelge]

Is there an app for smacking you in the mouth?

 

[marty21]

Wise words, listen up fat boy.

Then read up on Jules Dassin. Very good stuff.

Have you seen Le Samouraï?

If not - do it!

Then jump ahead a bit and watch Johnny To's 'Vengeance' and see how Nouvelle Vague, Spaghetti Western, Japanese Samourai, noir and heroic bloodshed films all collide into one fucking beautiful chaos....you will not be disapointed.

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck yeah.

 

[discokermit]

rififi is fucking ace.

 

[discokermit]

so is night and the city.

 

[discokermit]

night and the city has better shoes, though.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Fuck yeah.

Ok.....so it aint all socio-political films with you then

 

[belboid]

Obsession. Edward Dmytryks finest British movie about jealous husband turned acid bath murderer Robert Newton. Magnificent.

 

[imposs1904]

The Wackness.

A 2008 comedy-drama that won the Sundance Audience Award, and which is set in New York City in the mid-nineties.

Nice turn from Ben Kingsley as the pill-popping shrink trying to recapture his youth.

 

[Bajie]

Iron Man and Somers Town, both very good for very different reasons.

 

[Reno]

Thirst by Park Chan-wook. Not sure what to make of this one. It doesn't really re-invent the vampire genre as some critics have claimed (Let the Right One In did that much more effectively) and it's a very long film for what is a relatively slight story. It looks great and it does have some good moments and a fantastic performance by the lead actress. Still, it was a bit of a slog at times and the whole subplot of the ghost of the husband haunting the murderous lovers was rather silly and superfluous.

 

[jeff_leigh]

The Brothers Bloom

 

[Pie 1]

Inglorious Bastards.
Really rather enjoyed it - hadn't really been expecting to for some reason.

(Oh, & also now have a big new crush on Mélanie Laurent).

 

[DotCommunist]

The Road

Visually perfect. Can't work out where Aragorn picked up the lethal radiation dose though, unless it was the ship.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Breaking Bad - S2 EP3 (in a drunken haze)
Great series, darker and more serious than I was expecting.

Crosses the dark line & just keeps on going too. You're in for a real treat.
Absolute gem of a series - Enjoy

 

[marty21]

more shield - season 6

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Night At the Museum 2" - enjoyable mindless entertainment that required no thought and was perfect for a laying on the sofa evening!!

 

[dlx1]

Battle Royal - Sat afternoon I need to get some new films
15 Minutes - on telly

 

[DotCommunist]

Predator is on tonight. I shall be watching that

 

[Part 2]

First 2 episodes of The Corner.

It's looking okay so far.

 

[Zabo]

Nicholas Nickleby. Reminded me once again that Dickens was a damn sight smarter, compassionate and political than Shakespeare.

 

[Badgers]

Bit of Dexter on at the minute. Not sure later but I feel the rest of today will be spent watching stuff and junk

 

[thriller]

Legion (Paul Beateny).

Thought it was a good pop-corn movie-despite the plot holes.

 

[pboi]

Ricky Gervais Show

animated Podcast, good fun

 

[marty21]

Steer well fucking clear of American Gangster.

It's a Poor Mann effort and doesn't make the grade as a genre piece.

it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be , going from your post, sorta reminded me of Carlito's Way (and I hated that film Sean Penn <shakes fist> )

it was better than Carlito's Way, which isn't much of a recommendation tbf

 

[snackhead]

Milk, excellent.

 

[mentalchik]

Watching Aliens as nowt on tele-box...............


"we got nukes, we got knives, we got pointy sticks"

 

[Voley]

Spent all afternoon and most of the evening watching 6 or 7 episodes of Deadwood, you blowhard cocksuckers. I love this series. Nearly at the end of the first series now and I'm already dreading it ending.
