What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Hi-ASL]

Cicade de Deus (City of God): Brazilian film about it's teenage crime lords, shot with a Tarantino-esque flair and realism. No. 18 in the IMDB's Top 250 Films of All Time.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Average, I'm afraid

 

[kakuma]

i watched animatrix

it's alreet....

 

[Diamond]

CARS

Absolute shite. Solid bid for the most republican-corporate principles in one film ever. The story/characters/execution are rubbish as well.

 

[Leica]

Paolo & Vittorio Taviani, Good Morning Babylon (1987).
The story of two close brothers, Andrea and Nicolo, who emigrate to the United States from Sicily and get a job in Hollywood working in the construction of the set for D.W. Griffith's Intolerance.

 

[purves grundy]

They Came Back

A French Canadian zombie film in which nobody gets eaten and nothing scary happens... in fact nothing happens at all - it's fucking shit!!!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i watched animatrix

it's alreet....

some intresting animation but crap stories

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Flash Gordon - A perfect film to drink to, that way you laugh your head off at the beginning, but have something else to do when it get towards the end and starts dragging.

Dodge Ball - Funny film, i like it.

 

[kakuma]

some intresting animation but crap stories

yeah, i think the people who made most of them already had these animations pretty much done and just bolted the matrix onto the side so they could get some free promotion.....

 

[The Pious Pawn]

hudson hawk

a great film, and a reminder that i should try and track down a copy of their movie Kaos, which i haven't seen in 20 years but first watched just before i went to live in Italy..

I know Kaos by heart. In fact all their films are very good. My father grew up in an environment very similar to the rural settings and situations they describe (for example in Padre Padrone) and their images and landscapes are familiar to me.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Trauma - could seen to hold my attention, couldn't figure out who killed the singer was it Spider from Coronation Street? thought about giving it a 2nd viewing but is it worth it?

 

[Strumpet]

Saw Over The Hedge last night. LOVE it!! Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Needed something light and sweet and it delivered.


Might watch The Secretary later tonight.

 

[lordaragorn]

I watched Enemy at the Gates( I know it's not a new movie).İt was very nice movie.

 

[Dubversion]

watched All The Pretty Horses this afternoon.

Pretty dire, really.. I loved the book so much, the film was always going to struggle, but in attempting to fit the book into 2 hours it lost everything that gave the book meaning - the sense of dread, Cole's transition into manhood. The prison section is the heart of the book and they glossed over it.

I also wonder if the film would even have made any sense without reading the book, it was so weirdly episodic.

missed opportunity

 

[Skim]

Watched Rebel Without A Cause again and was surprised at how little of the film I could remember from when I last watched it almost 20 years ago. I was a bit disappointed, in that I found it hard to engage with the film – Jimmy Dean just doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid.

 

[DRINK?]

A Room for Romeo brass....highly enjoyable, much darker than I expected mind

 

[Bomber]

Nothing ! However tonight I will be watching The Getaway ~ Steve McQueen and Cape Fear with Peck, Mitchum etc.

 

[Dubversion]

i've been downloading much faster than i can watch. Tonigth it might be Fantastic Planet (been after this for ages!), Chronos, The Searchers or Don't Look Now.

something chirpy at any rate

 

[belboid]

Casablanca. Colorized.

Wrong, just wrong wrong wrong.

 

[Orang Utan]

I watched the rest of Kingdom Of Heaven last night - dreadful dreadful crap, thought the siege machinery was cool. Orlando Bloom is the woodenest matinee idol since I don't know when and Marton Csokas played the worst leering panto villain I've seen in a while.

 

[Dubversion]

watched some more Black Books last night.

I respect their decision to leave it at 3 series, but even still - fuck, i could watch that programme forever.

I know what you mean. For me only black books and futurama can take so many repeated viewings.

It also makes me feel quite good and romantic for being a awkward sod and smoking and drinking to much.

 

[Juice Terry]

Firefly, first three episodes and Serenity, how did this manage to fly under my radar so completely? Liked it a lot

By being canceled half way though by fox and not shown on TV here?
The fuckers even paid for a compleate season and just wouldn't let them finish. What did they have to lose?

 

[Dubversion]

Finally got round to watching Come & See.

not entirely sure i'm glad that i did

 

[belboid]

stunning tho innit?
