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

[sojourner]

Beautiful Thing

Not bad, not exactly great

 

[jeff_leigh]

Slaughters Big Rip-off

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Linda Linda Linda.

First film I have watched in ages. Not as good as I had hoped. The set up sounded fun - 'girl band lose their singer, and find a new one but she is Korean and can't speak the language properly. They only have a few days to get their shit together for a rock concert'. This all seemed fairly inconsequential and the Korean lady (Du-ne Bae from Sympathy for MR Vengeance) seemed to speak Japanese just fine.

More of a mood piece with very nice shot framing. Good but not worth a second watch.

I thought it was interesting that the box highlights "London Film Festival Official Selection". Mrs Suplex wanted to go and see this but it only played once on a weekday afternoon. I bet only about two people went.

.

Hold on a second. How can Du-ne Bae play a school girl? She must be pretty old, she's been in films as an adult.


EDIT
A quick IMDB show her age as 28. So she was 25 when she made Linda Linda Linda.

 

[LDR]

I starting watching "30 Days of Night" but gave up halfway through. I used to enjoy horror and martial arts movies when I was a kid but I just find them tedious these days.

I moved on to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and it looked promising until I fell asleep after about 20 minutes. I woke up just before the ending. I feel no need whatsoever to catch up on what I missed.

I managed to watch the entirety of "American Gangster". Not a great film but still quite enjoyable. I didn't turn off half way through or fall asleep.

 

[ramjamclub]

Little Buddah
Really two films in one. The story of Siddhartha becoming the Buddah and the finding of the Lama Dorje
The first good the second not so good.

 

[Orang Utan]

Lucky Number Slevin - average crime paper, above average wallpaper
The Prestige - pretty shit, the sound was shit, so I couldn't hear the voiceover and one of the two major twists was evident almost from the onset. And it cheated with the other twist. Infuriating rubbish.

yep. hated it.

 

[andy2002]

Working my way through the 30 Rock Season One boxset – great performances, some terrifically funny lines. Am having indecent thoughts about Tina Fey...

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh yeah, I also watched Jarhead and am now convinced Sam Mendes is a director of stunning mediocrity

 

[LDR]

I also watched K-Pax which is the best movie I've seen in ages.

it's mostly toss isn't it? looks great but...

again, as with American Beauty, he's made a movie he wants to be important, to say something. And it says a big fat fuck all.

 

[Mr Smin]

The Cider House Rules - got to the point where the title makes sense. Will watch the rest later (film was fine - just getting too late at night to watch films).

I've avoided Jarhead the film as I enjoyed the book and thought the film was unlikely to do it justice.

 

[May Kasahara]

I'm watching Return Of The Jedi on ITV - have been loving these Sunday afternoon replays, takes me back to my childhood One thing that did strike me just now though, is how much the Emperor sounds like some cheesy BDSM top when he says to Luke "I'm looking forward to completing your training...in time, you will learn to call me 'master'." The old perv!

 

[oddworld]

Black Snake Moan - Mr Samuel L Jackson , Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake

Is different.

 

[May Kasahara]

Fucking hell, I wish George Lucas would leave well enough alone Every time I watch these stupid buffed-up versions it makes me so ANGRY!

 

[Belushi]

Fucking hell, I wish George Lucas would leave well enough alone Every time I watch these stupid buffed-up versions it makes me so ANGRY!

Innit

 

[Pie 1]

Fucking hell, I wish George Lucas would leave well enough alone Every time I watch these stupid buffed-up versions it makes me so ANGRY!

He's a fucking cock.
Star Wars looks so shit now with all that over remastering and extra added cgi monster bollocks etc.
Why doesn't he do something useful with it all and erase those sodding Ewoks.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Ewoks are the best thing in all six films, especially their party

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I also watched K-Pax which is the best movie I've seen in ages.

Have you read the books? I think I liked them better (people always say that though), still a good film though.

It's just a bit of a shame that the trilogy seems to hold your attention simply because you want to find out the truth.

I got me the laser disc versions but they are still pretty shit films. I like the holiday special though. Now that's entertainment.

 

[rollinder]

I've got the origanal videos from just before he fucked with them

just watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith

 

[ramjamclub]

Big nothing
Great laugh, love the black humour, which is very reminiscent of Shaun of the dead.

 

[Badgers]

Die Hard 4 last night.

I liked it.

Not something I would usually rush to see as I get a little tired of action films but this one was over the top enough to be funny and entertaining for a Sunday night.

 

[pootle]

I saw Eastern Promises last night....it was ok but the ending was v disappointing

 

[Yetman]

The Fountain - didnt understand a thing

 

[KeyboardJockey]

Secretary with Maggie Gylenhaal. Enjoyed it.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I watched a french fim called Hell last night. it was alrightbut nothing particularly gripping or spectacular. the most beautiful thing about he film was emmanuelle beart, who always looks divine

for tonight i have 'my life as a dog' which im told is quite good

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

ooh ive seen secretary. i enjoyed it too

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The Fountain - didnt understand a thing

Odd isn't it. Not half as good as I was expecting. I think I kind of got it but it's been a while. I seem to remember that it was too long and rambling for the small point it was trying to make. It sort of reminded me of an more contained Izo, but about love rather than violence.
