Watched a few:

The Eye-loada shite
Slackers-sorta funny but nothing special
Dead Man's Shoes-gripping, dark, tense, funny, shocking, brilliant stuff.
 
Chopper was on telly last night so I watched it again - the scenes in which he is about to kick off and does kick off are so squirmy but hilarious too. He's someone you would never ever want to look at, let alone speak too, he's so volatile.
Also watched Final Destination 2 - I enjoyed it only, for the imaginative, over-the-top gory deaths
And a couple of days ago, I watched La Grande Bouffe - four rich friends gather in a big house and proceed to eat themselves to death - like the Exterminating Angel, it's another explicit pop at rich Western decadence - very obvious but very funny.
 
The Death Of Mr Lazarescu - I think it's supposed to be a black comedy - more black than comedy - great stuff though.
 
Vantage point. silly conspiracy popcorn thriller, mildly entertaining. Forest whitaker was a big let down. After the Last King Of Scotland and The Shield was expecting good things. Ho hum...
 
Minor Mishaps

I'm not sure WHY I stuck so many Danish films on my rental list, but am not complaining. The humour in them is very different to UK/US humour, very 'quirky' if I can use that word without sounding like a complete tosser
 
CJ7, a chinese film about a poor kid whose dad finds a toy from space on a rubbish tip. It's a bit bizarre and stupidly funny in some parts but very cheesy and the dubbing is almost unbearable.

My 7 year old loved it though.

Watched Paul Calf's video diary after with the eldest. Still a good few laughs there. "You've got shit on yer shoes an' I'm the shoes shine boy":D
 
A film Fat Bob said i "just had to watch" called 'Midget Mayhem' which had these two dwarves dressed up like Frankenstein DPing this young lady in a paddling pool full of luttuce and cabbages.

I'm sure there was more to it than that but by then i think i had seen enough to get the general idea of what 'Midget Mayhem' - either in this DVD or as a general lifestyle choice - consisted of.
 
I watched Bobby last night. Word of advice: don't watch Bobby.

My gf summed it up quite nicley by saying that it was a bit of an ordeal getting through to the end of it. There just seemed to be a load of overwraught, over earnest and over repetitive scenes where one character gave another "a talk" - the kind you only see in films, complete with strings and piano - and they seemed at one stage to be happening every 5 fucking minutes. It would've been a lot easier to care about the characters had the film not tried to force us into caring about them. Finally get to the end of it and found out that none of the characters even existed in the first place!

Also, how do you do a spoiler?
 
Watched "Breach" last night - twas rather interesting, cause you didn't know who was telling the truth and who wasn't. Got a bit bored after a while though cause it took too long to get going and the story was just slow in general - so I didn't watch the end :p will have to ask the peeps how it ended; I can't be bothered to sit through it again.

Anyone seen Awake??? I really want to see it but don't want to have to buy it (cause we're sans rental places where I am, they all closed down :(). Is it any good?

There's a sticky in this subforum

Is that the Sean Penn film about the RFK assassination told from all the witnesses' viewpoints?

Yeah, but it's Emilio Estevez directing, not Penn. Far as I know anyway...

The whole thing strongly reminded me of F.A.G. from Team America. Like, I'm liberal in my political sensibilities but, damn, some libs or leftys are so fucking wet! The whole thing could've easily lost about 30 mins to make it's really very contrived end point as well. The only good thing, for me, was the performance of Lindsay Lohan (I know, I was shocked too...) and the RFK exerts.
