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

[The Octagon]

Some Buffy Season 5 episodes, specifically The Body, Forever and Intervention.

The Body is just as brutal as I remember, probably the best TV depiction of death I've ever seen.

US downloads tonight (Heroes, Prison Break and T:SSC)

 

[Sadken]

The Onion Movie. Much funnier than I thought it would be. I'd pay money to see 'Cockpuncher.'

Seconded, its a hugely moving episode.

Flashpoint - HK action movie

 

[chico enrico]

I started watching a german film called 'Skin' - about a young spotty jewish kid who appears to end up a neo-nazi in prison.

Only watched up till the point he gets chucked out of the club when the other group pof skinheads start seig heiling and has a fight with his black mate.

Found the other stuff about his sick mother quite exceptionally sad and heavy going so switched it of and watched a programme about an internet paedophile to cheer myself up.

is anyone else familiar with this 'skin' film? cant seem to find it on IMDB.

from the third or so i've seen it's a pretty amazing work. Suspect 'made in England' may have been based on it, though comparing 'skin' to that is like comparing Rashamon to pee Wee Herman's big adventure.

[Badgers]

More Weeds

 

[foo]

watched In Bruges again last night cos my sons wanted to see it.*

second time around - i didn't just like it, i loved it! so many good lines. my big lad said the director was usually a director of plays so that might be what made it seem different..?

*afterwards they spent all evening saying 'You never guess wat....' in a Colin Farrell voice. really fuckin annoying

 

[Orang Utan]

I saw the recent remake of The Hitcher - a thoroughly pointless exercise that just serves to show how brilliantly made the original is.
Venus - Peter O'Toole as an old perv exploiting and being exploited by a young 'chav' - typical Hanif Kureishi unpleasant misanthropism but with a soppy ending that rather betrays what's gone on before. Balls.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Pulgasari - Korean movie about a Godzilla like creature that saves the local farmers fighting the corrupt government officials

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Two: The Promotion. Very weird, but I liked it. It had that line about retarded masturbation.

The other was Speed Racer. It has a monkey in it. What else do I need to say?

 

[CharlieAddict]

juno - irritating.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Breed - the least scary horror film ever - it's about a pack of fierce dogs harrassing some young people on an island.
Dogs paddling are not frightening.

Passionate Life of Edith Piaf - Fucks me this girl had more trials and tribulations than Amy Winehouse, would love to read her Biography can anyone recommend one ? Thanks

 

[The Octagon]

Last two eps of Buffy Season 5.

I may have got something in my eye at one point.....

 

[Sadken]

Saw the Machinist again. Bit full on.

 

[Ranbay]

The Wire Series 4 eps 1-5

I like this season better than 3,

Resurrecting the Champ

 

[Voley]

This Is England.

Load of shite.

 

[Orang Utan]

This Is England.

Load of shite.

What? Why do you think so?

 

[Voley]

It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. A very obvious movie. Obvious discussion of racism, obvious coming of age story, rubbish abrupt ending.

The kid was good in it, and most of the acting was good, tbf, but if that's Meadow's 'masterpiece' I won't be seeking out anything else by him. Nearly turned it off 2/3rds of the way through

 

[gilroy]

If he has a "masterpiece", its Dead Mans Shoes.

I fucking love that film

 

[Part 2]

I think most people would say Dead Mans Shoes is the better film.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Taken.

Complete crap.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I preferred This is England but there isn't much in it.

 

[Ranbay]

Step Brothers... I enjoyed it some great bits

 

[gilroy]

Taken.

Complete crap.

Agreed.

I watched this, the version I downloaded had hard coded Korean (i think) subtitles.

I turned it off when I realised I was basically just watching the subtitles.

 

[dodgepot]

this morning me and the wife watched morrissey live in dallas in 1991 before getting up.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Cloverfield - Actually better than I thought it would be
