What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[foo]

i was rather drunk & stoned but i watched tsotsi last night.

i thought the ending was poor but the film kept me glued (albiet swaying a bit ) and the lead actor's definitely someone to watch out for. not only did he have an amazing face, he had a truly stunning presence and acted his socks off.

i'll definitely watch it again...sober.

edit: i'd like to get hold of the soundtrack. the music was thumping.

 

[Jim2k5]

My Super Ex-Girlfriend, was amusing to say the least and work watching if you not doing anything else.

 

[mhendo]

Syriana, finally.

Excellent film.

 

[Grandma Death]

[Dubversion]

Repo Man - forgotten how much I enjoyed this, but also what a fucking mess it is

"let's go eat some sushi.. and not pay for it!"

 

[Jim2k5]

lets see, yesterdays movies where as follows, Donnie Darko, Infernal Affairs II and then Pirates of the Caribbean again as my sister dragged me out to see it with her as no one else would go.... got free pop corn

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

and I really do. What a mind blowing film. Wonderful stuff.

I heart Mark Wahlberg. Interesting to learn that David O Russell, the director/writer had a bit part in Adaptation.

Great film, one of my favorates. Fuckabies!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Primer and The Bourne Supremacy. Enjoyed both.

What's primer like? Sounds quite interesting, but after seeing a few films like it and finding them dissapointing to say the least I have been keeping my distance.

 

[Phenol]

Got Wolf Creek and The Machinist to have a gander at tonight. Which would you recommend (if any)?

Have not seen The Machinist but would like to know what you think. Wolf Creek is good but there is only one viewing in it. Quite tense stuff, not a film for happy times.

Good bit of a head fuck. But I think its a film you may need to watch a few times to really get a proper grasp on the story.

Good performances held together by a great script that you really have to concentrate on.

Its short (only 1hour and 10 minutes) and a very low budget indie film-but if thats your thing I'd recommend it.

Machinist rock-watch it. The transformation of Bale for the role is fucking mind blowing.

 

[DarthSydodyas]

Final Destination 3.

Oh, what a waste of time.

 

[G. Fieendish]

Last 2 DVD's
V for Vendetta & Nigel Kneale's Beasts disc 1.....

 

[lynne8]

The Shining

After all these years, it still scares the shit out of me. Jack Nicholson's best film I reckon.

scares the hell out of me too!! It's on tv here all the time lately!

I just watched Run Lola Run, subtitles, but strange little film, quite good.

a mess?? a mess!! wash your mouth out with generic soap!

What about the interactive choose who dies thingy, how was that?

 

[Phenol]

Well I watched Wolf Creek - it takes about 55 minutes for anything to happen. Once things get going it's a decent shocker, if a little obvious.

Started The Machinist but I was falling asleep - I'll finish it tonight - absolutely astonished at Bale's weight loss to get into the role especially after watching Batman Begins the other night! Anyway I got 15 minutes in and it looks like my kind of film. Dark, moody direction.

 

[Jim2k5]

ive heard good things of the Machinist, let us now how it is

 

[purves grundy]

ive heard good things of the Machinist, let us now how it is

tis good, if slightly holy (with regards to its plot holes, not its biblical references)

Last night I watched Dias di Santiago - a grim story about a retired Peruvian marine. Gripping but ultimately depressing.

 

[DarthSydodyas]

What about the interactive choose who dies thingy, how was that?

Dunno. I wanted to die 3/4 of a second through the film.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Dunno. I wanted to die 3/4 of a second through the film.

I quite liked the first two.

 

[SubZeroCat]

I watched Rabbit Proof Fence on telly last night. It was very sad but a lovely film

I loved Daisie, the little girl, she was soooooo cute!!

 

[DarthSydodyas]

Same here. The second one managed to do the original some justice, but the 3rd is the nail in the coffin.

Well, I finished watching it this afternoon AND I think I'll watch it again. Absolutely superb!!!!!! Echos of Memento and Fight Club but Christian Bale is just so mesmerising he takes the film to a higher level. Utterly bleak and depressing but very intelligent and worthwhile. If you like dark, moody and shocking it's a cracker!!!
A future classic and cool as fuck somehow!

 

[Jim2k5]

bought my self Futurama all four box sets the other day and im slowly working my way through them although not in any particular order, ive seen season1 disks 1 and 2, season 2, disks 1 and 3 and last night we watched season3 half of disc 1, the reason for trhe crazy watching pattern is that my flat mate watched the ones inbetween while ive been at work and not gonna watch them again so soon.

Watched "The Sweet Hereafter", an incredibly bleak canadian film about how a community deals with the aftermath of a disaster, all the families' stories linked both by their shared tragedy and by the lawyer who goes from house to house, trying to generate support for a lawsuit.
I'm still undecided as to whether I liked it or not, but it was certainly memorable.
