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

[Pieface]

Waitress - it's twee in a deliberate and self conscious way but only just held my attention. The story is very thin too but again, it's too self conscious for this to be accidental so I can only assume it's a sweet little homage type of film with kitschy touches like the mad pies she makes.

Good for a lazy sunday though...

 

[sojourner]

I've just been told it was two actresses that played Edith Piaf?

I didn't cry....

Well, three actually,if you count the kiddy ones

Hard hearted cow

Apparently 3 actresses played Piaf as a 5 year old, 10 year old and Marion Cotillard as the adult version.

Death Proof. It was very shocking in places. I thought it was great, awesome dialogue and stunning visuals.

 

[Ranbay]

Dan in real life., rather good, great story and kept me intrested all the way through..

 

[Orang Utan]

V For Vendetta - much better than I expected. Not exactly subtle though, and Natalie Portman's English accent sounded South African.
Well political for a Hollywood film though so props to the Wachowskis, even though they're not great writers

 

[Sunspots]

Tenacious D: The Pick Of Destiny

Rather patchy tbh, but I laughed like a drain several times.

(-Of course, I'm sure this film is much funnier if you're stoned. Dude.)

 

[Yetman]

Hana Bi - pretty good, gets better the more you think about it which is why its probably one of those films you've got to watch a couple of times to really get it

I thought it was pretty funny. Ridiculous, and full of terrible acting, but funny.


And yes, it is much funnier when stoned

Agreed - I can't understand why everyone slagged it off so much. Admittedly I'm not familiar at all with the comics, but I really enjoyed it. I was quite impressed with Portman's accent, personally.

One of my all time top 5 favourite films. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, I've got Bitter sweet life, lady vengeance and sympathy for Mr. vengeance coming this week - any views on them?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Now those are three I haven't got round to watching yet...

 

[corporate whore]

Watched Red River which is really, really good until the very, very end.

Also watched Die Hard 2, which is dumb as fuck all the way through.

 

[foamy]

Superbad.

I now have an massive innapropriate crush on Michael Cera

Atonement – good film, good story, good ending. I think I can safely say this film is good. The more you say the word good the stupider it sounds. GOOOOOD. To describe something that is good, you’d think we’d have a less stupid sounding word than good, its not a very good word is it? But hey, it works, which, y’know, is great

Is he also the guy in Juno? If so, definitley don't fancy him. He's so geeky looking.

Loved the book, but everything I've heard about the film has mostly been negative... Should watch it though...

You weren't planning to watch it or to like it?

 

[Reno]

It had mostly rave reviews and has been nominated for just about every award going. Everybody I know whose seen it liked it too.

neither, really!

I guess I pay too much attention to all the negativity on Urban!

Must be good then!

Is it a true story?

 

[chemn]

Grave Of The Fireflies. Certain scenes are still stuck in my head today- very powerful, sad story.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Skeleton Key - pretty dreary 'atmospheric' horror film set in the Deep South. Gena Rowlands is in it, so it's not all bad.

 

[mentalchik]

Just watched Stardust......


*sniff*


loved it !

 

[May Kasahara]

The last two episodes of S3 of the Mighty Boosh. One was quite nice, one was pretty lame.

 

[rekil]

Imagining Argentina. Antonio Banderas turns into a psychic after his missus (Emma Thompson fs) gets disappeared. There must be better films about Argentina's dictatorship than this.

 

[fishfinger]

Just watched the first part of Stalingrad (a 3 part documentary). Fascinating but grim.
