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

Just watched A Complete History of my Sexual Failures following recent posts.

The first hour is the funniest stuff I've seen for ages. The bit where he's talking to the scottish fellas on the street is fucking ace. Once he takes the viagra it goes downhill a bit and the end is a bit shit but I've really not laughed so much at a film for a log time, a great tonic. :D
 
The Illusionist -

After watching The Triplets of Belleville, I was looking forward to this one.
Simple plot, rather depressing and bittersweet. Though I was rather irritated by the girl's demands of flashy things, on hindsight I understand better of what the story is about.
Beautifully drawn.

i started watching it because of recent posts also but found it incredibly cringeworthy and had to turn it off.
 
Stone - What is happening to De Niro? Why is he doing a Travolta with such shit movies? Real bad. Boring - even the sight of Milla's tits couldn't save this trash.

Season of the Witch - I can't remember a thing except it starred Nicholas Cage.

Insidious - I recommend this one. Real enjoyable. Starts off as a conventional haunted house horror and then transcends into Speilberg's Poltergeist. Nice journey...creepy more than scary.
 
Tonight I'm watching Gumnaan

Love Letter - Japanese film about girl who sends letter to her dead fiancee and gets a reply. More "Double Life of Veronique" than "Ghost"...

Chungking Express - Wong Kar Wei's classic introducing Faye Wong. 2 stories of obsession, heroin, fluffy toys and California Dreaming... QT loves it but don't let that put anyone off it.

The Proposition - Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone in Oz western, written by Nick Cave. Slow, brutal and haunting.
 
Did a few over the BH weekend:

Nude Nuns with Big Guns
This is pretty much summed up in the title.
It is pretty crude as B-Movie comedy's go and there is a fair bit of rape going on.

London Boulevard
Not a bad easy watching gangster film. Pretty good cast and some good local London landmarks. Nothing ground breaking here but worth a watch if you want something light.

Neds
This was the winner of the weekend for me. Is a bit like Shane Meadows with This Is England.

I've though about this, but I say fair play. Fuck doing a Brando, making a few classics then disappearing up his own island for the rest of his natural born.
Let him act, even if it Toilet. :)

You know, I was watching Once Upon a Time in America last night.
And thought WTF! I mean, is it the same person?
Why not do an Eastwood and direct some amazing films instead?
Why? Why? Why is he doing this? Surely it's not for the money?
He's fuckin' loaded? How much do you need?

Wake Wood - Hammer House of new. Pretty okay if you remember them from the 70s.
 
Explain why it's shit? Because it's a mainstream romantic version of serious stuff that elides the elitist nature of their action behind a popular visual front. And boring.
