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

[white-trash]

I watched scarface last night and got bored after about half hour, but then again i'm not one to sit still and watch a film all the way through. Apparently its a really good film, i wouldn't know as i never finished watching it.

 

[heinous seamus]

Started watching Cinema Paradiso last night, quite a long film so gonna watch the rest tonight

Finished it now, brought a few tears to the eye

 

[DJ Squelch]

Film version of Coogan/Brydon's The Trip, I watched the series but this still made me laugh. They kept most of the best bits (although they'd chopped the "hello I'm Holbeck Gryll" bit ) and seemed to have less emphasis on the food. Didn't seem to be any extra footage apart from a few shots but still worth watching if you liked the series.

Dr who the web planet.

Brilliantly laughable aliens (that no amount to Vaseline in the lens can cure) and slow vintage who pacing. Yawn.
In episode two Hartnell gets the hump because they started 15 minutes late and he is worried he won't catch his train.
I managed to get four episodes in before discovering that there are actually 6 or (8?). Jesus, it's painful stuff.

The Score

Robert De Niro & Edward Norton

It's awesome isn't it, went straight to the top of my list (or somewhere abouts). First time I watched it, I watched it straight after again, and then the next day. The only other film I have done that with recently (well I watched half again and then watched it the next day) was 'super' I think.

Oh wow, I didn't realize it had not even been on at the cinema here. It's on now people, you should go and see it.

"Monsters" - not sure what to make of it tbh, it kept my attention, I enjoyed ti while watching it, it was thoughtful but ultimately left me feeling a little empty

 

[DotCommunist]

three episodes of boardwalk empire. Like.

 

[Part 2]

Alice in the Cities - 70s Road movie directed by Wim Wenders - Excellent.

Carey Mulligan in "An Education". Great actress.

 

[gavman]

"The Transporter 2" - not as bad as "The Expendables" is the only good thing I can say about it!

i don't think anything could be as bad as 'the expendables'. that's gone down as the worst fillum i've ever watched the first ten minutes of

i quite enjoyed this.
you could say i watched it by mistake; i swore to never watch another film featuring any of the cast of adulthood / kidulthood gangster wannabes, chief suspect being the guy playing the lead in this one. perhaps it was all the familiar ladbroke grove landscapes, but i really found this to be in a different league, much better written, performed and directed

Not good, still it was never going to be easy adapting threads on a forum into a film.

 

[imposs1904]

Killing Bono

For the first ten minutes it looked so promising, and then it was absolute rubbish. Surprised to see Clement and La Frenais were involved with this.

 

[starfish]

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Was alright, had a few funny bits.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Was alright, had a few funny bits.

I watched that on a plane with my daughter. Not anywhere near as bad as I had expected.

 

[Part 2]

One of the better kids films of the last few years IMO

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Was alright, had a few funny bits.

I love that film, could watch it over and over again.

 

[jodal]

Curb Your Enthusiasm, first ep of new season.

Night before last I watched Ordinary People (dir: Robert Redford). Genuinely loved it despite some soppy, over-the-top moments.

 

[stethoscope]

Les Valseuses.

The Darjeeling Limited

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I was fairly underwhelmed by the Darjeeling Limited.
It's not a bad film but I think I am just waiting for another Rushmore from him.

 

[Yetman]

The Killing Fields, which was alright. Eurotrip, with Vinnie Jones, which I somehow got confused with Hostel

 

[Captain Hurrah]

The Killing Fields has shite Coca-Cola product placement, with the baddies attacking a bottling plant.

About 5:40.



I don't like Oldfield's score either.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Recently, I watched Andrei Konchalovksy’s 1965 film adaptation of Chingiz Aitmatov’s novel The First Teacher.

Basically, it's 1923 and an overenthusiastic but superficially Bolshevised Red Army veteran, demobilised after the Communist victory in the Russian Civil War, struggles with ridicule and distrust at the hands of villagers in his native Kyrgyzstan, where's he's been sent to do propaganda work.

The opening scene:



At his makeshift 'school,' he points to a portrait, telling his little pupils, who're a world away from what's been going on elsewhere, 'Here is Lenin, leader of the world proletariat.'

Saigon - not the best of the Ladd/Lake pairings but still good. Lake as great as always.
