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

[TruXta]

Let the bullets fly - this is how action comedy drama is done. 20s warllord China , yojimbo, brains

Saw it last night, thought it was a bit overlong, but all around very enjoyable. Strangely fast editing for such a long film. Loved those sequences where they did the same thing over and over and over. And of course, great stunt work.

Episode 21 of Rosy Business -
Fuckin' Awesome!! Addictive shit. Can't believe it's so good!

 

[The39thStep]

Oooh, not a remake of the remake?

No. same title but new film

 

[The39thStep]

Shutter Island. OK, but not one of Scorcese's best.

I really liked that but the ending was too drawn out

 

[Kippa]

Just watched 'Die Hard' in HD 1080p for the first time last night, it was amazing. It is nice to see good transfers of old films to HD working out alright. It is one of those sort of films that you can watch over and over again and never get bored of it. Whilst we are on the subject of Scorcese, his classic film 'The Conversation' is going to be released on BluRay. Personally I think that 'The Conversation' is Scorcese's best work to date, it isn't well known as his other works but that movie is a masterpiece.

 

[Idris2002]

Divorcing Jack

Piss-poor British crime film from the late 90s that only got the funds because of people's addiction to scratch cards.

Loved the book. Hated the film. Thewlis is a one-tic actor.

A friend of mine is an extra in one of the crowd scenes, though I've never been able to pick her out. It's not as bad a film as 'Cycle of Violence', but you've got a point about Thewlis. His performance as a comedy Provie in Mr. Nice was Stage Irishry of a type I thought had gone from this world.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Inception.

They get in your dreams, but how? Ok I guess that doesn't really matter, it's already about five hours long, lets not waste any more time.
I dunno, fairly entertaining jaunt, but I still gave up half way though.

 

[r0bb0]

dylan dog: dead of night! Dum film, good film name

 

[redsquirrel]

An excellent film . I got a copy of a new French thriller 'Point Blank' last night which is supposed to be as good.

Made by the same bloke that directed "Anything For Her" isn't it?

 

[Termite Man]

I watched Splice last night. It's a very good film but the ending seemed like they either didn't know how to finish the film or did know but chickened out of it.

 

[100% masahiko]

Finished the last episode of Rosy Business and I can't believed I cried to some fuckin' Cantonese cheesy shit.

 

[TruXta]

Saw Super, about this bloke that goes on a vigilante mission from God. Alright I suppose, albeit a bit uneven.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Just watched Red Cliff

Great battle sequences. Didn't have the slightest idea who was fighting who most of the them, but it was an enjoyable watch

[rekil]

Kuhle Wampe. 1932 Brecht scripted film about a Berlin family who get evicted and go live in a lakeside camp similar to the Hoovervilles in the US. Contains suicide, pregnancy, heavy drinking and the like. On google video here (with massive subs.)

The Dawns Here are Quiet. - Beautifully shot 1972 soviet ww2 film about members of a female antiaircraft unit that set out to capture two german paratroopers.

Miracle At St. Anna. - An expensive Spike Lee shambles. Quite possibly one of the worst war films ever made.

KPD funded the first. Second great. Third i agree.

 

[rekil]

KPD funded the first.

Gah, you replied before I could fix the glaring spelling error. Expected they did yeah. What was the story behind the censorship. Might as well mention Our Own and Cuckoo. Two quality recentish Russian ww2 ones.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

The director of The Cuckoo also made a bleak Glasnost-era film called , which is worth checking out. It's about Russian conscript soldiers brutalising each other while escorting priosners on a train. Nothing much happens, apart from the soldiers' boredom broken by really petty and nasty bullying. The cramped conditions of the train add to the horrible atmosphere.

 

[rekil]

Ta, I'll make a note of it, but I've got cramped conditions and horrible atmosphere coming out my ears atm.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Fair enough.

Which version did you see?
The two part one (5 hours) or the 2.5 hour edited feature?

 

[100% masahiko]

Started No Regrets (kinda like a Rosy Business part 2).
I left the room after episode 3. It was good but with such period dramas, I'd need to invest a good 35 hours of my life just to watch it.

Great film - we are half way through the two part version....anhhh..Takashi Kaneshiro *heaves bosum and sighs"

 

[belboid]

I've Loved You So Long.

Another cheery little number, but very well done, even if the ending is a bit of a cop out.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (watched the first of 2 Discs)

 

[The39thStep]

Made by the same bloke that directed "Anything For Her" isn't it?

yes.Might try and watch Point Blank over the weekend

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I only realised after watching it and googling it that I'd watched the 2.5 hour one and there was a 5 hour one (which is what I linked to I think). Would rather have watched the 5 hour one as I had trouble keeping up with who was who, but I'm crap like that anyway

I take it you've already seen it then?

 

[sleaterkinney]

King Arthur on the tv right now. It's basically a load of crusties and a blue Kiera Knightly fighting each other. It's so shit.

 

[dlx1]

Tron last year or this year the remark what a lot of shit.
Don't remember the original if it was good as see it ad a kid.

I was going to watch it 'til I saw Keira Knightly was in it

 

[Voley]

Mr Nice. It should've been very easy to make an entertaining film out of this story but they managed to make it very, very dull indeed.
