What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[stereotypical]

Scarface, seen it loadsa times but only this time did I realise Oliver Stone did the screenplay.

Learn somethibng new everyday A.

Last night I watched Requiem for a Dream and Secretary

I loved Secretary, its such a cool film

I've seen them both... Secretary is a cool film, I agree! Requiem for a Dream made me so, so sad, especially the mum's story - it also made me see my fridge in a whole new light! The soundtrack is fantastic!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I watched School of Rock last night.

It was just above the line of "FFS let's turn this off and do something else". My sister reckoned I'd love it.

Watched the Clash "Rude Boy" film earlier in the week tho, which was loads better despite (or maybe because of) being more "amateur". Weird the way it blurs fact and fiction and some nice footage of early 80s London. I need to check the interviews and stuff now as well...

a mighty wind

potatos on the paddywagon

genius

 

[Juice Terry]

Talk To Her - Absolute genius, Almodovar IMO must be the greatest living director now Kubrick and Kurosawa are no more. Everything about this film just oozes class, the acting, the script, the screenplay, the camera work etc etc makes me want to watch all his films again and again.

Antonioni's "Blow Up". Tres cool Brittania in the 1960s, I'm sure, but I still couldn't see what the fuss was about. Hemming's misogynistic and superficial character didn't appeal, and the film has dated somewhat.

 

[Cloo]

Actually got a video out for a change - 'Big Fish'. A lovely film, I thought. A tad uneven, but effective overall. I think I was in just the right mood for it, as I decided that 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' was too braindead, but 'Pieces of April' was too realist.

great soundtrack though

SWAT is ok then Big blue on TV

 

[twister]

Van Helsing..

.. has to be the worst film i've seen since Godzila.

even the lovely Kate Beckinsale couldnt save me from switching it off after suffering an hour.

.. i spent that hour, slightly stoned, trying to work out if alot of it was tongue in cheek or not... worked out it was just plain crap

 

[ck]

I've started to watch the first season of "Northern Exposure".

 

[G. Fieendish]

The "Collectors Edition" of Audition....

 

[Errol's son]

Nine Queens

Two con men in Buenos Aires team up - fast moving and you do not know where the plot is going as it just keeps twisiting and turning.

Very funny film, I thought.

And great shots of BA.

One of Argentina's best fims ever IMO.

 

[nadoya]

Gothika.... SOS...... SOS.... SOS

 

[Roxy641]

Doctor Who ;-)

DOCTOR WHO dvd "The Green Death" Episode 1

Roxy641

 

[belboid]

Frida (Frieda? Freda? y'know the one about Ms Kahlo. The scene where Trotsky grabs her and they make mad passionate love is kinda cringeworthy)

Secretary - it's very silly.

 

[Pie 1]

Shawn Of The Dead. Very enjoyable

 

[starfish]

Well not quite last night but recently, Kill Bill 2, great film, really enjoyed it, Shaun of the Dead, funny but not Spaced & House of Sand & Fog, very beautiful, very moving, very recomended.

 

[Kameron]

I watched The Butterfly Effect, all I can say is Oh My God, that is fucked up.

 

[golightly]

I watched Alien v Predator. Oooh! It is soooo shit. At least I haven't wasted good money to go and see it.

 

[shoddysolutions]

King Of Comedy

Excrutiatingly painful viewing. De Niro surprisingly good as the awkward Rupert Pupkin, living with his Mum and going nowhere at 34, obsessed with the TV host Jerry Langford. Not so much laugh-a-minute as a squirm-a-minute. 3/5.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Bubba Ho-Tep

An ageing Elvis versus a soul-sucking Mummy. Got to be good.

Has the line "Nobody, but nobody fucks with the King!"

What a great film

 

[Louloubelle]

Night before last...

The Plague Dogs

The film was meant to be about the cruelty of animal experimentation, but I couldn't help but see it as a metaphor for the Kafakesque situation faced by refugees and asylum seekers who had suffered torture.

a really very powerful film.

in tears just thinking about it.

 

[g force]

Pieces of April

Wasn't expecting much seeing as it has Katie Holmes in it...but wow what a beautifully measured film that managed to be touching without being melodramatic.

It's all happens in 1 day, Thanksgiving, when April is making dinner for her estranged family and everything that could go wrong does. I won't say too much as it spoils it and the wonderful ensemble of characters who live in her apartment block.

Superb cast - Patricia Clarkson playing the mother recovering from breast cancer, Oliver Platt as her dad and Alison Pill as the bitchy sister from hell

Plus music by Stephin Merritt - nice and miserable. Top film

Shaun Of The Dead......


(any of you C##ts need a drink)

 

[walktome]

I just watched the Virgin Suicides, maybe I will get around to reading the book one of these days.

 

[Loki]

Das Boot (The Director's Cut). For the second time. What a great film!

 

[Jo/Joe]

Fear X with John Tuturo. Really gripping and claustrophobic. Screenplay by Hubert Selby Jr

 

[Louloubelle]

Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within
rather good I thought

 

[Louloubelle]

I'd give it 5/5
but then I enjoy squirming
