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

[May Kasahara]

Little Monsters (with Fred Savage) – remembered this from when I was a kid. Was better when I was a kid.

I remember this too. Sad that it hasn't stood the test of time...

 

[Orang Utan]

Nuts In May.....I swear it was someone on here who recommended it STUPID 70’s film about a couple of twats who go camping, get pissed off with other campers and move pitch. That’s it. TOSH. Cant believe I watched the whole fucking thing expecting something to happen

Rubbish - it's a fantastic film - one of my favourites

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Rubbish - it's a fantastic film - one of my favourites

Seconded.

 

[sojourner]

Seconded.

Thirded





I watched Primo last night - absolutely OUTSTANDING performance by Anthony Sher

 

[boohoo]

I watched Billy Liar - very good film!

 

[Mapped]

The Bucket List - cheesy and sentimental, so OK for a lazy sunday afternoon.

Oh Yeah, we also watched Juno and I loved it, I hope she gets the Oscar.

 

[Yetman]

Rubbish - it's a fantastic film - one of my favourites

Er....why?? Nothing happens in it, there's no point to it and it just seemed like a waste of time....

What did you like about it?

May, guess what film I'm downloading to watch with the kid next weekend?

Batteries Not Included

One of the best films ever.......I hope this one stands the test of time....surely it will

The characters - nothing needs to 'happen' in a film as long as the characters are interesting, and Keith and Candice-Marie Pratt are hilarious.
It's just a very funny film

 

[lighterthief]

I watched In the Lives of Others finally last night -

 

[sojourner]

It's just a very funny film

I think most of the time it's the viewer's 'need' for what they think should be in a film that disappoints them, not the actual film

 

[Yetman]

Yeah I did spend the first 15 minutes pissing myself at them tbh, but I dunno, I like films with a bit more depth, ones that leave you thinking afterwards.

KEEEEETH

 

[sojourner]

It's also a fairly old film that, and I do think it's a bit dated now. Still funny mind

 

[Phenol]

Watched Saw IV last night - I know, I know!!!!! - it was quite entertaining actually, a bit over the top on gore though!!

Got Juno for tonight!

 

[jeff_leigh]

A Bittersweet Life

 

[foo]

Capote

rather good i thought.

 

[sojourner]

Capote

rather good i thought.

I loved that - PSH was brilliant in it



I watched Edmond

Fuck ME!

 

[Orang Utan]

Edelweiss Pirates - a German film about a ragged band of kids and an escaped prisoner in Cologne in the closing stages of WW2, mounting some kind of resistence against the Nazis - an excellent film about how loyalties are tested and changed during wartime and how betrayal can come from the most unexpected sources.

Never heard of this one. Sounds interesting, where did you get hold of it ?

Lovefilm - it seems to be quite a big German film - strange that I've not read about it, but only heard about it word of mouth.

Cheers, it's on my rental list now.

 

[Orang Utan]

Cheers, it's on my rental list now.

It's quite an eye-opener cos I'd never really considered that there was any type of resistence fighting going on in Germany - it's not what we were taught

If this interests you also check out "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days". She was part of The White Rose, one of the most famous German resistance groups during the Third Reich. She was one of the best known resistance activist against the Nazi's and a heroine to many people growing up in post-war Germany.

Cheers - I was recommended that by the same person who told me abour Edelweiss Pirates - will check it out

 

[corporate whore]

Polanski's take on Oliver Twist.

Is alright, if a bit hard to see why he bothered. David Lean did it better, and Polanski's Fagin and Bill Sykes both seem to be a tribute to the musical versions.

Oliver Reed is Bill Sykes, mind. There should be no argument about that..

 

[The Groke]

I remember this too. Sad that it hasn't stood the test of time...

neither has Monster Squad

 

[CharlieAddict]

Felony Fights.

didn't know what to expect at first.
pressed play.
some woman was stripping. showing off her fake massive tits.
then two guys start punching the shit out of eachother.
then two different guys...
and another two...

this goes on another 45 mins.

pretty good.
enjoyed it.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Russell Brand's stand up show at the Hackney Empire.


I laughed.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Oh and we got the complete 'Mr Benn' through from lovefilm today too!
