We Need To Talk About Kevin - a bit self-consciously arty and heavy-handed esp with the really obvious visual flourishes - tomatoes = blood, eyeball = target etc. disappointing.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

An Empress and Her Warriors, nice scenery, but practically everything else was awful in this 'war of the kingdoms' piece.

Just Another Saturday - first part of Peter McDougall & John McKenzie's (Play for Today) Scottish trilogy from the mid-late 70s. This one covers Glasgow sectarianism, the second - The Elephant's Graveyard - covers w/c refusal of work, the final one one - Just a Boys Game - does the razor gangs (of course, that's not the sole subject of them, they're handy hooks). Will say more when i've finished them all.

So many particulars. So many questions.
It wasn't that bad, unless you payed for it, then yeah I'd be annoyed too.

Blue Velvet, good film, going to digest over it awhile.

The World, The Flesh And The Devil (1959) - Harry Belafonte seems to be the last person alive on earth (such as in in Omega Man etc), but hang on, there seems to be another lady and hey at least he can sing a decent tune. Unfortunately the lady seems a bit racist and now another bloke has turned up up who seems racist too, lets hope they realise that when there's only 3 people left alive on planet Earth that acting like a fuckwit might not be a good idea.

Just watched the second two films in a Canadian documentary series about Pierre Trudeau and his would-be nemesis and Quebecois separatist Rene Levesque.
No, wait, it`s better than it sounds.
You can watch it all on the National Film Board of Canada site:

"V for Vendetta" - enjoyed it with a few minor reservations about the casting (didn't really like Natalie Portman or Hugo Weaving despite both being very good film actors)

Look it says so there in the wee box. I was pleasantly surprised by one of the locations, and the exquisitely nostalgic sense of time and place it evoked. But as it is introduced at a major plot twist, I'll hold my counsel.
Nowhere near as good as Il Conformista, but Sanda does here sexy Ice Queen thing again, which is always good.

I watched a good chunk of the third series of Black Adder last night. Started on the first and second series but I'd seen them so much I could predict all the jokes. Miraculously there was an episode on this one I'd never seen before. I'm hoping I see some new stuff on the one with Stephen Fry in WWI as that's the best series for me.

No Rest for the Wicked - odd little spanish thriller, sort of like if Torrente was a real cop. Interesting but the plot-lines were just all over the shop. Director had prevously done the far better Box 507 where he'd managed it all a lot better.

All 54 hours - fucking hell, well done!
Oh, is there another series?

Sorry mate, didn't mean to get your hopes up, it was just a crap joke about the very long German film/series called Heimat which has usually (and to some peoples anger) been translated as Homeland.

I taped "Deathrace" off the telly the other night. It was a pile of shit so watched "Bedazzled" instead (The original Pete and Dud version - not the dreadful Liz Hurley remake..) and that improved my mood no end.

...but did you watch the 70s Death Race or the dreadful Jason Statham remake ?

Lost in the wood
No it was the Jason Statham version (mind you - a true pedant would know that the original was "Deathrace 2000"
) that had none of the humour of its predecessor. The few clumsy "Shawshank" type scenes that they inserted to try and give it depth fell flat and other scenes made absolutely no sense at all. Mind you - his co-pilot was pretty foxy - but not foxy enough to stop it being dreadful.
