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

Yeah, a typically powerful documentary from Herzog.
I was only joking about the robots.
No I know you were joking - I just wanted to know how you felt about it
Really?
But the interviews with people were...almost comical. And the guy describing how he found them...it just seemed too bizarre, almost surreal. Plus the actual Timothy Treadwell himself - I mean, come ON! He just seemed like the last person on earth that would be in that situation! And pretending he was Australian as well...

His story is well-documented though - I'd heard of him before Herzog made the film. It's just the way Herzog makes documentaries - focussing on the downright absurd. You should watch Little Dieter Wants To Fly - another true story which is so remarkable, it's almost unbelievable.
Well his story has completely missed my radar. Thanks Werner Herzog - my frown line got so much deeper last night
I shall check that out then - cheers OU *sticks on rental list*

I knew that you knew I was joking, etc...
It was a couple of years ago that I saw it, so tbh, my memory of it has faded a bit. I think I'd already read the rumours beforehand that questioned the film's authenticity, but I still believed what I was seeing onscreen.
Herzog being Herzog, his narration of Treadwell's footage is ultimately only ever going to be Herzog's interpretation of what happened, based on the footage and the additional interviews Herzog makes as part of the film. Treadwell was undoubtably a bit of an unusual fella, but Herzog is often drawn to the oddballs and the dreamers.
I guess I just trust Herzog; if it ever turns out that he's fooled me though, I'll just have to laugh.

Masters of Horror 2: Dreams in the Witch House.
Another enjoyable slice of schlock, with a surprisingly effective and fun lead performance from Ezra Godden, who was a couple of years above me at school

I watched Before The Devil Knows Your Dead - very good, excellent acting, not one to see if you want cheering up though.
The Kingdom - not bad, started off well with a story which had quite an interesting political angle but by the end it just descended into a standard Hollywood shoot em up.

Its sunny somewhere.
Shoot em up
Dried up trodden in trail of shit that has not one single thing to recommend it. Evil life sapping thing only serves to show how bad films be, but I had real difficulty not switching the wire back on.
Its IMDB 1st rating failure. I only download movies that score 7 or more, which is fairly rare. I reckon the crew have been at the voting button.

This Is England. Brilliant and disturbing and hilarious.

Shrooms - bog(trotter) standard low budget druggy horror with very poor acting but strong visuals.
I somehow ended up watching Mr Deeds on C5 last night - it made me laugh quite a bit, but it was utterly nauseating by the end.

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved that film. A really jolting ride back down memory lane for me.
I watched Saving Private Ryan. It's a very loud film, isn't it? Best scene was the beach landing, which really encapsulated the utter pointlessness, depravity, and degradation of war. The rest just dragged on a bit
Yep; the more I think about it, the more it is quite clearly the standout film from either the US or UK of about the last 5 years.

Don't trust IMDb - it's populated by poltroons - I bet they've rated a lot of decent films less than 7 and you've missed out.

The first 30 mins of Sweet Movie – a strange low budget 70’s film about some kind of weird shit. Couldn’t be arsed with it.
30 Days of Night……pants. It was a cinema rip so had people mooching around and the vampire translations fell off the screen but apart from that it was a very standard plot and typical end section. Waste of time.
Trailer Park Boys the Movie – seemed weird, like the TPB we know and love but in big screen high colour format, and assuming we’d never seen the show before. Dunno, it was good but I preferred the series (which I’ve now sadly watched all of)

A waste of time watching a cinema rip, surely?
I managed about 30 minutes of that before the utter predictability of it numbed my brain into a trillion little pieces and I had to GET.THIS.SHIT.OFF
Agreed. It's pure idiocy to base one's viewing on that place...

Up the bum - no babies!!!
Whereas I watched 3 Iron, which is a very quiet film, isn't it?
I seriously didn't even realise I needed to turn on the subtitles till the bit where they got arrested, cos it had such little dialogue!
And then The Bourne Supremacy.

3Iron is one of my favorite films ever ever ever. I love Kim Ki Duks stuff, the main characters hardly ever speak but not really in a gimmicky way. I bought real fiction a while back but have not got a chance to watch it yet.
