Me and Pika saw Hard Candy at the cinema last night.

Was mediocre, some cliched Hollywood lines, nicely shot, acting was average, kind of interesting.....Meh :)

far too technical for me to be worried about. I haven't got a widescreen tv :oops:

Can you tell me anything about this print of "City of Lost Souls" please 'cos it's total shite

I'm not sure if that's the same one I've got. I got it from CD Wow and it's DVD Region Free
It's the Tartan one isn't it? As far as I am aware it is only called the city of lost souls in the uk, so if thats what its called you have the tartan disc. Some of the early tartan DVDs were region free for some reason, but they were also not DVD9s (gasp) which would explain the shiteness, I can't remember if this was one of them or not but I can check later at home.
The one to go for is the Japanese copy (called the hazard city) which includes english subtitles.

I'm going to have to check. I'm not sure that's the picture on the front. It DOES have subtitles and I got it from CD Wow.

DVD9s? :confused:

I don't remember the tartan one being a particularly bad picture. If it is non anamorphic you have the Mei Ah hong kong or Tai Seng american region 0.

DVD9 is something about the amount of info you can get on a disc, tartan started with DVD5s which really isn't good enough quality for a relased DVD and is usualy what DVD recorders print at. It's something like that anyway, i'm not an expert.

Can't remember the picture. WIll check it out. Nothing wrong with the picture on the front of the cover. It's the subtitles. They're horrendous. It seems to be very badly translated or it was a horrifyingly bad script :D

Sounds like a hong kong disk. I wish I had bought the J disk it when I saw it in a cheap shop in Mitaka. I knew I would regret it, and I'm not going back until christmas now.
 
watched 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' but fell asleep half way through, watched the rest of it last night and thought it was ok, maybe it would have been better if i hadnt fallen asleep :confused:
 
Just watched the Aristocrats. While the odd bit dragged, there were also stretches - including Billy The Mime - where I swear I have never laughed so much in my life.
 
finally got round to Lady Vengeance. What a beautiful, moving movie. It's amazing to see the director's style change with each movie in the trilogy.
 
Watched Lucky Number Slevin.

One of my favorites lines..

"You must be Nick Fisher."

"Must I? It really hasn't been working out for me today."

How did you rate it against the other two vengence movies? (Mr is my favorate).

He also does quite a good vengence short on the three extreames. It's rather like a play.

I thought they just got better and better - Mr Vengeance was good, Oldboy was excellent, Lady Vengeance was absolutely fantastic..

I think they go the other way for me.
 
Everything is Illuminated. Not bad, often quite funny.Worth seeing for the two great performances by Eugene Hutz, frontman of the band Gogol Bodello and a dog called Mikki as Sammy Davis Jr Jr, the "seeing eye bitch". Frodo Baggins is in it as well, but he has most of his acting done by a pair of enormous glasses.
