[imposs1904]

Fever Pitch

The American version. Cracking wee film that never got the plaudits it deserved.

Nope, I am definitely thinking of Ip man 2.
It's not a bad film but it's a very standard Chinese marshal arts film following a fairly well trodden plot.
Worth watching but not as good as Ip man 1. I don't think I would have sat through the lot if it wasn't for the fact that there was the history if Ip man 1 behind it. That would be a bit of a shame though because it's not a 'bad' film. Like I said before, it's not as good and far more generic.

Can't disagree...but def worth watching if you've seen the first one.

Watching MA movies is a bit like when there's a tory on the telly for me...I shout a lot.

'What are you doing!!!' 'Why is your foot there?' 'Jesus christ man can't you BREATTTTH!'

 

[DexterTCN]

Rotten Tomatoes says Onibaba is quite erotic.

Maybe watch that later myself.

True Blood season 5 episodes 1-4. I thought season 4 was weak, but I'm enjoying this season so far.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Down Terrace. For some reason I had the idea that it was going to be some kind of Ealing comedy type effort. I was wrong. Decent film though.

 

[Idris2002]

Slacker.

Richard Linklater's first film. Better than I remembered. Of course all the conspiracy loons he depicts are on the interwebs now. The only other film I can think of that goes from one short scene to another with different characters is The Phantom of Liberty.

I tried watching The Sea Shall Not Have Them, but the file was damaged, and missing the last 15 minutes. Anyway, it was part of the British film industry's effort to make the Second World War boring.

Oh, and I watched Chopper, or 'Australian Psycho' as you might call it. I don't know why I watched it - it's not like you'd get any enjoyment out of it, anyway.

 

[TruXta]

Drive. Bit surprised at this - had heard the hype but wasn't really sure what to expect. Calmer and cooler start than I expected, but I wasn't really ready for the ultraviolence. Still a good filum.

Tried to watch the rest of Looper, am about 2/3rds in, it's alright but somehow doesn't quite click for me.

The Raven. Edgar Allan Poe in Endless Action Poo.

Break out the cod liver oil, grandad - I've just started it and I've only got 10m24s left.

 

[rubbershoes]

It's good enough to pay to see

 

[DaveCinzano]

Try-before-you-buy, dude!

Killer Joe, which didn't really do much for me and I generally love films about criminal plots unravelling because they have been set up by complete idiots. Good performances, but somehow I saw the twists and turns coming.

Agreed, it was a film of performances more than story. All good fun in a sick way....

That what they said about the bearded lady.....

A Bullet For The General

Good film which ever so slightly petered out towards the end.

Great film.....was it also called Quien Sabe????????

 

[Idris2002]

Billy Liar.

Tom Courtenay is the eponymous fantasist, Julie Christie and her radiant smile is the love interest. Some of the fantasy sequences foreshadow what the Monty Python team would be doing a few years later. John Schlesinger directs.

The Bourne Legacy

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1194173/

I struggled with it. It's not an especially complex story with lots of twists and subplots, it's just... not that good. It is the same as the other Bourne films, impossible chases, incredible shooting skills, brutal unarmed combat and stern looking men and women in offices underground who watch everything from a spy satellite. So nothing new really... but Renner.

Might watch it again when it comes on TV but I am in no hurry.


Cat Shit One

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt2368669/

Seen it once before on Youtube or Vimeo but thought I'd watch it on a large tv in HD instead of on a tablet. Still a good little animated short.

Touching the Void

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0379557/

Fell asleep watching it. Supposed to be good though.

 

[Idris2002]

Dead Man.

Jim Jarmusch flick from 1995 (has JJ done anything at all in the recent past?)

A lot better than I remembered it being. Johnny Depp is the greenhorn who gets more than he bargained for (like several bullets) when he goes west to take up a post as Robert Mitchum's accountant (this was RM's last role, if memory serves).

While there's a touch of 'noble savage-ism' in the depiction of the Indian guy who saves him (for a while), it's a good enough film to overcome that.

One of those ones that linger in your mind, while never spelling out exactly what it means.

Beautiful B&W cinematography as well.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Tv series called Engrenages, or Spirals in english. Really good.

Great soundtrack too, isn't it Neil Young?
