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

[Strumpet]

Lately I have seen...
9 - cute, weird
District 9 - woahhh weird as fuck but I liked it!
Julie & Julia - adorable
Duplicity - nice twist

 

[Cm7]

The Chaser, a korean thriller -

It was really good.
*Spoiler* but why the hell they have to make the woman died?! So disheartening especially after she 'escaped'.
I like the fact how the guy confessed from the very beginning which made me wondering how they gonna play it out in the film - what's else is there to capture the audience.

 

[sojourner]

Buffalo Girls - fictionalised account of Calamity Jane, with Anjelica Huston playing Calam. Phwoar, but the real Calam really could pass as a bloke, AH just couldn't pull that off!

Still, thoroughly enjoyed it, and the Western scenes were filmed in New Mexico, so I had landscape to drool over too

The Chaser, a korean thriller -

*Spoiler* but why the hell they have to make the woman died?! So disheartening especially after she 'escaped'.

Because it's meant to be bleak.
But I'm sure Hollywood will change all that.

 

[100% masahiko]

The Hangover - it was amusing enough.

 

[andy2002]

W. - Oliver Stone's biopic of George Bush. Quite a sly and subtle assault that manages to paint him as an utter failure in most areas of his life without stooping to caricature or political name calling. Interesting to note the film hardly features either the presidential election controversy of 2000 or the attack on the twin towers. I thought for sure we'd at least get The Pet Goat scene.

Caprica and Spartacus: Blood and Sand


Caprica was OK and Spartacus was evrything I have come to expect from this prog. Cheap, foul mouthed and violent. I like it.

 

[Bajie]

Goodbye Solo, the only movie I have watched in a long time that made me misty eyed.

 

[Lea]

Joy Luck Club - my friend made me watch it. I didn't like it much. It was very sentimental.

 

[imposs1904]

The 1959 Soviet film, 'A Ballad of a Soldier'.

Brilliant film imbued with humanism.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Caprica and Spartacus: Blood and Sand


Caprica was OK and Spartacus was evrything I have come to expect from this prog. Cheap, foul mouthed and violent. I like it.

I'm really enjoying Spartacus. Good sex. Good Violence. Bad Language.

I liked the underworld fighter who wore the carved off face of his dead opponent.....very nice touch.

 

[DJ Squelch]

Marco Ferreri's La Grande Bouffe - four friends go to country mansion where they try to eat themselves to death with some prostitutes & a teacher as company. Some of the must epic flatulence you will ever see/hear .

 

[imposs1904]

Allison Anders' 1999 pic, Sugar Town.

John Taylor, Martin Kemp and Michael Des Barres as aging 80s pop/rock stars who are trying kick start their career as part of a super group.

Also stars Rosanna Arquette, Beverly D'Angelo and Ally Sheedy. Excellent film.


365Watch (New Year's Resolution: Watch a film every day.)

 

[Part 2]

Watched the rest of The Corner.

Excellent little series, any fans of The Wire who haven't seen it should take a look.

 

[marty21]

more Shield season 6, last season ordered, I will miss Vic and his chums

 

[imposs1904]

Ken Loach's The Navigators.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Caprica EP4
It's just boring and irritating now. I can't see this lasting the corse.

Breaking Bad series two, whatever episode I am on - its still great!

 

[DotCommunist]

Agreed on Caprica. Nothing is happening and annoying blonde woman is not dead. It needs to perk up.



I watched episode 1 of Carnivale which was good and the last ep of Survivors which was crap.

 

[Sunspots]

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.

I watched the first series last week, and have now started on the second...

 

[Sunspots]

Last night: Dead Man. -What a wonderful way to go.

Continuing the stoned western theme, I'll probably watch The Hired Hand sometime soon. I already know it's got a beautiful soundtrack.

 

[pboi]

midway through S2 of the Shield. its like the more epic brother of the Wire.

 

[Sadken]

More epic than the Wire?!

 

[pboi]

personal preference..the crazy violence and corruption appeals to me

 

[Reno]

I love The Shield and actually enjoyed it more, but The Wire plays out on a much larger scope, therefore it's more epic. : pedant smiley :

 

[pboi]

yeh, Dickensian Epic. Shield is OMGWTFBBQSAUCESHITYOUPANTSONFIRE epic

 

[Cm7]

Caprica EP4
It's just boring and irritating now. I can't see this lasting the corse.

Agreed on Caprica. Nothing is happening and annoying blonde woman is not dead. It needs to perk up.

Can't agree more.
I'm a little disappointed and please please make the blonde woman go away.



Survivors -
Watched 5 eps, her son Peter finally shows up!
Will catch up the latest ep 6 tonight.

 

[sojourner]

First 2 eps of Deadwood S2

ewww, thumb!

 

[Orang Utan]

xxy - an argentinian film about an intersex teenager struggling to be allowed to make a decision about their sexual/gender identity. brilliantly played by the lead, it's sensitive and compelling and it looks great too.

 

[marty21]

I am loving the Shield, probably a bit more than I loved the Wire tbf, rooting for the bad guys, Vic the ultimate anti-hero, you want him to stitch up suspects, kill cops, drug deal, steal from mobsters, you want him to take take take, and then take some more

 

[Pie 1]

Just caught Local Hero on Film 4 & I feel all warm & fuzzy now.
Such a great little film

(1st time I've seen it since Peter Capaldi's been doing Malcolm Tucker too - funny to see him as a sweet young lad again )
