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

[kalidarkone]

Donnie Darko with matserdk1 and his mate- masterdk1 is quite obsessed by it!

 

[dada]

taste of tea -
japanese.
it was bizarre funny sweet.

 

[May Kasahara]

A few episodes of The Mighty Boosh series 3. Even though it's not that funny, I still enjoyed it.

 

[Part 2]

The Sweet Herafter. It looked alright but I think I missed a bit or the story doesn't quite tie up properly.

Most likely I lost the plot a bit and assumed stuff that wasn't anything to do with the film.

 

[Annierak]

The filth and the fury. Seen it many times but never get tired of it

 

[cliche guevara]

Control. It was incredibly good. Really hard hitting too.

 

[foo]

spent the evening snuggling in bed watching series one and two of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

that man can walk

 

[Ranbay]

Saturday - Control , really really good.. but very dark. and black and white..
Saturday - the perfect stranger... got bored so fast forwarded to the end, which made it 10 times better.

Sunday - Lars and the real girl... - great film and funny in parts, but sometimes really boring.
Sunday - Season 4 peeps show... again

 

[sojourner]

Bowling for Columbine


Don't know why I haven't watched it until now. Very glad I did watch it though. Charlton fucking Heston

 

[corporate whore]

Over the weekend I saw For Your Consideration, which is a chuckle-fest, and Runaway Jury, which is fairly predictable but was on telly.

 

[cliche guevara]

Saturday - Control , really really good.. but very dark. and black and white..

What's wrog with black and white? I thought it made it beautiful.

Bowling for Columbine


Don't know why I haven't watched it until now. Very glad I did watch it though. Charlton fucking Heston

It's a good film, also very refreshing after the shit fest that was farenheit 911.

 

[Ranbay]

nowt wrong with it...

 

[Reno]

The Towering Inferno. It's a comfort film and I watch it every couple of years.

 

[Sunray]

Pirates of the Caribbean at worlds end. 2nd try, 2nd time I've fallen asleep fully clothed with all the lights on. I don't think there is much left so 3rd try should finish it.

 

[sojourner]

It's a good film, also very refreshing after the shit fest that was farenheit 911.

Never seen that

On the propagandist side is it?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think I convinced myself that "Flight of the Navigator" was the second half of Explorers.

That film would have been better if the ship didn't go all 'wacky' half way though.

What's the name of that film where . . . . Oh I have just remembered "the last starfighter".

ACE

 

[Orang Utan]

Mystery Train - classic Jarmusch

 

[Sunspots]

Come And See

Now, this is a horror film.

 

[El Jefe]

Come And See

Now, this is a horror film.

I keep meaning to watch it again.

And then not being able to face it.

 

[Reno]

Let's Scare Jessica To Death. Strange little indie horror film from the 70's about a woman who either is seeing vampiric ghosts or is having a nervous breakdown. Quite slow with the odd eerie moment and a great central performance.

 

[Annierak]

Mayor Of The Sunset Strip. Great doc about DJ Rodney Bingenheimer with appeararances from Bowie, ramones, Joan Jett, Costello, courtney love and many more. Fascinating and touching story of Bingenheimer's life in music

 

[Leica]

Party Girl by Nicholas Ray.

 

[boskysquelch]

Into the Wild. lovely & heart breaking at the same time.

Loved it!

 

[El Jefe]

Morvern Callar again.

What a great movie. Also, never seems to get included in "Best Portrayals of Drug Use In Movies" lists - the party scene near the beginning is really unsettling in its portrayal of really woozy pills. Something it's notoriously hard to get right.

Also some of the best use of music in movies I've ever seen / heard

Yes, one of my enduring favourites of recent years, for the reasons you mention.

The party scene is as close to an accurate depiction of any good house party I've been to; really nails that messy mood. And yeah, the music (-and it's use) throughout is blummin' great.

 

[sojourner]

^ I absolutely LOVED the book

It's one of those marmite-type books though

 

[Leica]

On Dangerous Ground, by Nicholas Ray
with my hero, the amazing Ida Lupino.

 

[foo]

series 1 of Nighty Night again.

made me feel all warm inside on a cold night.

 

[Orang Utan]

Love + Hate - a rubbish Romeo and Juliet story about an Asian lass and English lad in Blackburn with entirely predictable plot - Ae Fond Kiss does it much better.
Atomised - not sure what to make of this. It has a really hateful view of humanity but I don't know whether that's just down to the characters, rather than the writers (of the book AND the film). I need to read the book as it's obvious a lot was left out.
