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

[Orang Utan]

Imitation Of Life - it made my eyes hurt and then made them water. Classic Sirk melodrama, surprisingly progressive for 1958!

 

[TruXta]

My sister is watching Point Break on my dad´s humungous screen. The film is almost as old as her. Makes me feel ancient.

Paper Heart - Mrs21 rented it - awful self indulgent shite

 

[DotCommunist]

Outcast it sounded qiute good from peoples descriptions. Grimy and bleak. James Nesbit having his throat ripped out=win

 

[Orang Utan]

Bicycle Thieves - (rubbish subtitling though)

Bicycle Thieves - (rubbish subtitling though)

Fucking great though eh?

 

[Orang Utan]

yeah, it's brilliant. the final scene is so harsh. it's not exactly a xmas film.

 

[Belushi]

Fear Eats the Soul 1974 Fassbinder about a elderly German widow and much younger Moroccan Gastarbeiter.

And possibly his best film

 

[Part 2]

Kill List.....great all the way through, then spoilt within ten minutes of the end by my narky teenager being proper mard about his broken bike.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

It's probably been mentioned in this thread, but Black Swan was awesome. Best film i've seen for a while, on so many levels. Natalie Portman, stunning performance!

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - I'm sure i'd seen it years ago. Beautiful yet sad story. Amazing performance from a young DiCaprio.

 

[DotCommunist]

Kill List. Was creepy as fuck

 

[The39thStep]

Attack the Block- very enjoyable light wieght romp ( which is what you need after a few too many beers) but I couldn't find any redeeming qualities in that little gang at all.

The Guard- Hats off to the witers and the wonderful Brendan Gleeson one of the best comedies I have seen this year.

 

[krtek a houby]

Mesrine part 2.

 

[Part 2]

Outcast....had many things in common with Kill List, although it's a different film. It was okay I thought, well made budget horror, woman from Red Road was good, probably the first thing I've ever seen other than adverts with James Nesbit in.

 

[DotCommunist]

it is the best performance I have seen from him- grey/black bearded like some old irish sea king, merrily throat chopping scallies and gutting birds. The bloke who plays the laird also played the PIRA priest in Sons of Anarchy series 3.

 

[Orang Utan]

kill list - shite and incomprehensible

 

[Mapped]

Lars Von Trier - Melancholia

The film? I don't know. I'm still trying to work out why he allowed one of the drunk wedding guests to operate the camera?!

0/5

Watch it on drugs

I thought it was a masterpiece, but my critical faculties had probably completely left me

 

[Belushi]

More festive Fassbinder fun with The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

 

[TruXta]

Just take some sedatives and whip yourself, Belushi. Much the same effect.

 

[pianissimo]

Becoming Jane -

it was alright.

 

[TruXta]

Midnight Meat Train. Some great scenes and elements, ultimately let down by a weird ending that didn't do the start justice IMO. Loved Vinnie Jones too.

 

[jeff_leigh]

What's Eating Gilbert Grape - I'm sure i'd seen it years ago. Beautiful yet sad story. Amazing performance from a young DiCaprio.

Innit he was only about 12 when he gave that performance.

 

[mentalchik]

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - muchly enjoyable

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"X-Men: First Class" - an enjoyable lounging on the sofa film

 

[Belushi]

Cat People Enjoyable supernatural thriller from the 1940's.

 

[Reno]

Cat People Enjoyable supernatural thriller from the 1940's.

Wonderful film and my favourite horror film from that period.

 

[Orang Utan]

Have you seen/read Kiss Of The Spiderwoman, belushi/Reno - it references Cat People a hell of a lot. Ace book/film about a political prisoner who keeps himself going by recounting old favourite movies to his cellmate.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh, and I watched the first half of The Expendables. I'm not sure I can be arsed watching the rest. I think it might be dreadful. I convinced myself that it was a postmodernist work of genius, but I'd consumed the best part of two bottles of wine, so think I may be wrong about that.
