What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[mhendo]

Fort Apache, The Bronx, with Paul Newman, Ken Wahl, Pam Grier, Ed Asner, and Danny Aiello.

Seen it before, and really like it.

 

[Dj TAB]

Peter Jackson should go back to making good films like Bad Taste and Brain DeadQUOTE]

Gotta be two of my two favourite films!

e2a - I'm watching the box set of American Dad series 1, if you liked Family Guy then watch these....!

 

[jeff_leigh]

I watched Team America thought some of the stuff was quite amusing, like the "America Fuck Yeah" song and Kim Il Sung with Cartmans voice but not the belly laughs the reviews led me to expect

 

[Bomber]

"Stoned" with Leo gregory as Brian Jones & I thought it was bloody excellent !

Thought it was a bit patchy, a bit TV movie if you like. But Paddy Considine (sp?) is a class act(or) and saves the film from obscurity for me.

I watched three 80's films last night:

Pretty in Pink - shit
Some Kind of Wonderful - worse than shit
Planes, Trains and Automobiles - Class

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Payback - Meh
Miss Congenitality 2 - Disapointingly my virus checker has not flagged this yet. (Nor have i watched it, my sister asked nicely is all )

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

DIG!

Pretty good stuff. I thought it was a shame I bought it because I could not imagine watching it again (all my freinds seem to have watched it 10 times) but now (the next morning) I think I could. Just to see the wacky fights and fucked up loons. Did that guy really only play the tamborine?

 

[tastebud]

Match Point. I can't remember the last time I watched a film whereby I hated every single one of the characters as much as I hated the dreadful appallingly bad film.

 

[Phenol]

V for Vendetta - I thought it was excellent - great atmosphere, great concept. Hugo Weaving was brilliant even though he's behind a mask all the time!!

 

[dlx1]

London Kills Me imdb

Was one of my fave films, seems to have lost it maybe I seen it to many times now

Muffdiver

 

[Juice Terry]

Tzameti (Thirteen)

Low budget B & W french thriller about a kid trying to make some easy money who bites off a bit more than he can handle. Pretty good.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Factotum - I was looking forward to this as it looked right up my street but it was in fact dull, depressing and boring. I didn't find the camera work very inspiring and I only laughed once despite it being touted as a masterfully shot comedy. I bought it as well.

Maybe there should be some U75 DVD swap shop.

 

[gsv]

The Limey
Steven Sodebergh directing Terrence Stamp on a small budget and still being really creative just before he got really huge. Atmospheric, funny, cool and very sad.

The rhyming slang is well irritating though

Last night I watched 'Dig!' which despite the rather predictable Rock-Doc format was nevertheless an interesting peek behind the scenes.

I've got a ticket to see Brian Jonestown Massacre, could be 'different'

Tonight I start my own personal season of Jean Luc Godard movies with Détective

Their old drummer - who's in the movie - is now a jungle DJ who played with us in Italy on the Unsound rig

Heard jungle, loved it, quit the band, bought some decks et voila

 

[Dubversion]

we just watched Visitor Q

Jesus fuck

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

The last few weeks I've been avidly watching CSI. Now up to Series 4. Excellent, addictive stuff.

 

[ruffneck23]

finally got round to watching V for Vendetta , was a bit put off by all the bad press it got but i enjoyed it , some good ideas in it

 

[Julie]

Rumor Has It.

It wasn't great but it wasn't as shite as I'd heard it was.

 

[Orang Utan]

we just watched Visitor Q

Jesus fuck

Told you it was a bit mental

 

[jodal]

Cars, Nacho Libre, 40y.o. Virgin

 

[Dubversion]

Told you it was a bit mental

there was a point when we were laughing hysterically and i suddenly had this moment of clarity where i realised quite WHAT i was laughing at (when he gets stuck, basically ) and felt quite confused.

excellent, but so so wrong.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

we just watched Visitor Q

Jesus fuck

That film has everything, I love it to bits. A few years ago when it came out I stuck it in a DVD review show I was producing. I had to severely cut all the clips in the show despite it going out at 11.30 and the film passing at an 18 rating.
Fucking lawyers, I couldn't even show the man sawing the kids head at full length and had to cut down the 'miracle of nature'.

I love you Miike!

for the first few minutes, i thought it was going to be really shit - just an unconnected stream of 'shocking' vignettes. But then when it pulled together i was just in fucking stitches for an hour. SO fucked up

bearing in mind Miike makes 700 films a week and some are shit, and that i've seen this and Audition, what should I look out for next?

 

[bushphobia]

Ah....visitor Q!
Fuck. Will never be able to watch a lactating woman in the same way....again!
That guys a genius. Even Katikuris was mental.

Watched Blade Runner again over the weekend. Carefully watching what kind of bollocks they are going to make with the new dvd se next year. So far, i've heard that there will be about 4 different cuts available, including a new directors cut. Talk about milking it!!

A remastered transfer of Blade Runner has long been overdue. So far there only has been one release which came out when DVD was a relatively new medium and the picture quality isn't very good by today's standards. The new directors cut is the version Ridley Scott was going to release in 1992 as the DC, but couldn't due to money, time and copyright issues which finally have been resolved. For anybody who is a fan of the film and knows a bit of the films troubled production history this is a bit of a holy grail really, but feel free to feel incensed anyway. I'm looking forward to see a version that is closer to Scott's original vision for the film, which had been heavily compromised by studio interference.

In the end nobody is frog marching you to a shop with a gun to your head forcing you to but the new release.

If you liked those I would highly recommend ichi the killer, it's funny in the same way as visitor Q.

Dead or alive 1,2 and 3 are all pretty brilliant, violent and silly in different ways.

Gozu and Zebraman are brilliant in a less violent way.

Two of may favourite Miike films are simply beautiful and emotional - the bird people in china and Kishiwada shonen gurentai (young thugs of kishiwada)

there are tonnes of good bloody yakuza romps like graveyard of honour etc (the best of which I think is blues harp'). Odd stuff like Izo might be for the more hardcore miike fan However I recommend you stay away from - silver, andromedia, white collar worker Kintaro or tennen shoujo mann..

So what's the best bit torrent site for Miike movies?
