What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

[Mephitic]

Leningrad Cowboys go to America. ~ Most enjoyable, despite the considerable weirdness.

 

[frogwoman]

dot:

Wickerman, directors cut on recc from reno.

couldn't spot may of the 'extra' scenes save lord summerisle talking about animals while two snails twined together- plus an extended 'Gently now johhny' scene

still good though, christpopher lee ftw

had forgotten how dirty them ditties are lol

 

[Firky]

Enemy at the Gates

Utter shite, especially that little speach on his death bed about equality and envy. I thought I'd watch it again to see if it was better than I remember but it wasn't.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Sunshine. Hadn't seen it for a few years. Still good.

 

[la ressistance]

intermission . enjoyable dark comedy with every famous irish actor in the world (except gleeson) and a great opening scene.

 

[Mephitic]

Bad Boy Bubby ~ I disliked it, a lot. It was supposed to be funny cept it wasn't.
Far North ~ Excellent.

 

[Orang Utan]

Wut? Bad Boy Bubby is hilarious genius

 

[Mephitic]

Wut? Bad Boy Bubby is hilarious genius

The first 15 minutes kind of reminded me of Eraserhead, I didn't like that either.

 

[Orang Utan]

Well I will just have to dismiss your opinion as worthless then. Soz

A Dirty Carnival - Korean Crime Movie

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Finally watched Banksy's film 'exit through the giftshop'. It had a nice playful wit you'd expect from the Bristol joker. I hope the hipster fuckwits and bourgeois art collectors that were raving about Mr Brainwash's risible exhibition watched the movie and realised what an utter waste of oxygen they are.

 

[andy2002]

Showed my eldest a few episodes of Ren & Stimpy. Some of it looks pretty tame compared to the mad cartoon shit kids watch nowadays (Billy & Mandy, Adventure Time etc) but it still has the power to disturb. The banned episode 'Man's Best Friend' in which a character with definite sado-masochistic tendencies buys Ren & Stimpy from a pet shop is seriously fucked up.

It's a fake documentary.

 

[DotCommunist]

Natural Born Killers, not watched it in ages. RDJ as wayne gale remains the funniest thing about the whole film. 'Waaaaayne? have some dignity'

 

[Mephitic]

Seven Pounds ~ i really liked the storyline, the way it comes together in bits and pieces as the film progresses.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

It's a fake documentary.

I have no doubt that it's manipulated and for all I know 'Mr Brainwash' is a Banksy sockpuppet, but the art exhibition actually happened and its attendees were bona fide.

 

[DexterTCN]

The Raid Redemption.

How cool is that film. Slightly on the violent side, fair to say. A cross between Big Trouble in Little China and Scum. I think I missed some plot stuff coz it was the dubbed version.

 

[redsquirrel]

Sunshine. Hadn't seen it for a few years. Still good.

Which one? The one about the sun or the one set in Hungary with Ralph Fiennes?

Touchez pas au grisbi - French crime thriller from 1954, does pretty much everything you expect from that description. Not quite in the very 1st tier IMO but it's still very, very good.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Night of the Demon" - excellent!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

The Raid Redemption.

Saw this on the plane to China and thought it was great! The fighting sequences are amazing, it's quite poignant at moments and yes it is violent. Very violent!

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Which one?

The sun.

 

[Yetman]

K Pax - excellent mental person/alien movie with Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. Reminded me a bit of One Flew over the Cuckoos nest

 

[rubbershoes]

"Night of the Demon" - excellent!

great film. now you can have fun passing runes to anyone else who's seen it

 

[DotCommunist]

crap monster at the start

 

[QueenOfGoths]

crap monster at the start

I didn't mind the monster but felt it would have been better not to see it at the beginning so all the way through you are uncertain whether or not it is all true or all in the minds of Dana Andrews and Niall MacGinnis, giving you more sympathy with Dana Andrews character.

'Cos tbh Niall MacGinnis/'Dr. Carswell' and his devil worshipping ways seem much more fun

 

[butchersapron]

Finally got round to watching The Bothers Cervi about a family of partisans who forced the resistance to act militarily in Emilia-Romagna (i,e in the occupied north). It's fucking rubbish despite being talked of in awed tones - mostly because of its limited distribution through an institute set up to memorliase the families actions. Good stuff from Volonte though. (There's a Kate Sharpley Pamphlet that covers these, it's on-line but i'm not linking to it in the hope that people might order the pamphlet)

Juan Moreira about a social bandit in late 19th century Argentina. Also rubbish but very influential and made a time when JM stood in for wider revolt, so must be viewed with that in mind.

 

[Mephitic]

Mr Nobody ~ Best thing I've seen for a while,

 

[DexterTCN]

Prometheus which I liked and disliked at the same time. Could've been much, much better.

 

[Firky]

Red Lights (2012)


Paranormal thriller. A clever twist in the plot, Cillian Murpy and Ripley didn't really rescue this from being run of the mill.

 

[JimW]

Finished Bill Brand, excellent and great insight into the times (I was wrong with my guess about the plot trajectory too). They have another Trevor Griffiths thing on same site called Adam Smith (!) about a kirk minister in a little border town which is pretty good so far too.
