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

[Greebo]

Lola rennt.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Still Walking - Japanese film about a family coming together to mark the anniversary of the death of a family member. Sad and exquisitely acted.

Have you seen Okuribito? I think it was on telly recently.

 

[Part 2]

Great isn't it?

I'm enjoying it yeah, although I wish I'd not read about it being unfinished

I love that.
Love it!

Chasing Ghosts, the second film is much the same but without the good vs evil storyline. It's worth 90 minutes I suppose.

Is it the same people? Is it as good?

That's Departures, isn't it? Gods, that was almost too much. The washing of the body scenes; very emotional stuff.

Yes departures, that would make sense.
I didn't find it that emotional actually. Sentimental comedy.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Half of the second part of "Red Cliff".Excellent but was too tired to watch it all.

 

[Belushi]

Ressources Humaines. French film from 1999 about a business student returning to his hometown and interning for the summer at the factory his father works at and learning about the reality of business ethics the hard way. Very good.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Blitz. Jason Statham's British cop character teams up with a gay Inspector to combat an evil cop-killer who, in his introductory scene in the film, is lying on the bed wanking when Statham knocks on the door.

At one point in the film, Statham asks the gay inspector whether or not he 'interfered' with him in his sleep.

On a previous assignment, the Inspector had popped a pedophile's bollocks with a baseball bat, and then went on stress leave.

X Men - First Class

If I can choose my superpowers, I'd like to have two giant fruit-bowls as hands.

 

[Belushi]

Winter's Bone. Very good, Jennifer Lawrence is outstanding.

 

[little_legs]

Neds, dir. Peter Mullan.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Mechanic, with Jason Statham. It's a remake of a film by the same name from the seventies that had Charles Bronson in the role of Bishop, the Mechanic; Jan Michael Vincent in the role of the protege; and Keenan Wynn in the role now played by Donald Sutherland.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Pirates of the Caribbean - on stranger tides.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Something I haven't seen yet, but am wanting to catch, is Hobo With A Shotgun.

The remake is utter puke.

 

[krtek a houby]

Ridley Scott's "The Duellists"; did I mention that? Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine duke it out during the Napoleonic wars. Odd choice of actors but beautiful looking film, like a series of paintings.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The remake is utter puke.

The original wasn't that great either.

 

[belboid]

Neds, dir. Peter Mullan.

we watched that last night too. Cheery stuff Very well done tho

 

[miniGMgoit]

Something I haven't seen yet, but am wanting to catch, is Hobo With A Shotgun.

There's a thread dedicated to it somewhere on here.
For me, it's quite simply film of the year.

 

[miniGMgoit]

I watched Transformers 2 today. I didn't realize I'd seen it before until about the last 10 minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed it though, even if I felt more than a little exhausted at the end (too much action???)

 

[agricola]

A Town Called Panic. Expands the universe a bit from the shorts, and most of the action takes place out of the house. I would have never imagined that a town called panic could sustain a whole feature length movie but it does. It's relentless and it's bloody brilliant. There are many more movements in the characters which I wasn't so keen on but the general ramped up production levels didn't really ruin it. Awesome.

Its on Film Four now, and is absolutely brilliant.

Just missed it. I was gutted.
But I have watched it a million times. The penguin thing isn't so great but that's probably just in comparison with rest of it.

It's one of the only films I watched a second time straight after finishing it the first time. Nuts.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Shiri - again

not one I'll be rushing to watch again

 

[Will2403]

hanna with cate blanchett, eric bana and olivia williams
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993842/

its ok for the first hour and just rubbish action scenes for the second half

anyone seen any good indie film torrents recently?

 

[starfish]

Animal Kingdom, Australian drama about a boy who goes to live with his estranged gran & uncles who are nut case gangsters. Decent enough film.

 

[Belushi]

Cronos. Saw it first time around 15 years ago, well worth rewatching.

 

[100% masahiko]

The original wasn't that great either.

Are you kidding? That film was fuckin' awesome. The Airwolf guy's finest hour...

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

That film was fuckin' awesome. The Airwolf guy's finest hour...

That's not saying much when it comes to Jan Michael Vincent.

Maybe it was Bronson's finest hour, though; although Bronson's had some good ones: Red Sun, etc.

Actually, when I think back, that film did get us all enrolled in karate classes etc.

 

[pianissimo]

Beastly

A bit of a teen magical romance flick. Lame but watchable with moments of cringes.
