What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Bob_the_lost]

Coach Carter:

Just what you'd expect, a more grown up version of "Remember the Titans" definitly worth watching if it's on TV, possibly not to rent (unless you rent too many as i do). I enjoyed it.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

seeing as i missed it on telly i decided to finally watch nausicaa vally of the wind (Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä) .... it's pritty damn good ..... very much a miyazaki piece
the closest other film to it has to be laputa but nausicaa felt a bit darker and to me somewhat more satifying than laputa but to be honest i felt it was just a touch rushed as i could have happly explored a little of the political tentions between the nations of perhaps some more information about the insect world in the end i felt just a little disapointed as the film doesn't really go anywhere there appears to be a whole world and vast mythology created but the film barly scratches the surface of that world

in all it's just like a lot of the ghibli films ... wonderous moments of flight a vaugly nostalgic look at the lives of people and a something of a message about the "wonders of nature" so basically if you liked mononoke hime or laputa this is more of the same

i think now i'll have to go read the manga which aparently is far longer and more complex ... well it should be it took the guy about 13 years to do..

Watched After the Sunset, one of the worst films I've seen in ages. Salma Hayek notwithstanding. See Inside Man and this for how to do, and not do do, Heist/twist films, respecitvely.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Godsend - pretty crap I thought non existant plot, shallow character development and too predictable was expecting a M. Night Shyamalan type twist but no such luck

 

[dilute micro]

Tae Guk Gi

pretty good film.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

none, but I'm going to Snakes on a Plane tonight.

I think it's similar to laputa, mononoke hime, konan and a lot of miyazakis stuff in that there are no cut and dried 'baddies'. Far more complex than the usual stuff fed to kids that relates very much to the world we live in.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Oh and I watched miikes 'Kishiwada Shonen Gurentai Bokyo' . One of the greatest films ever. I had never noticed before that the kids ripped off the teachers trousers to see her fanny, even though you don't actually see anything I found it a bit unnecessary and out of place.

There is a great wanking scene were a young boy romances a porno with ambient lighting and music before flying out the window to the moon on ejaculation. Everyone should see this film.

The Ladykillers (1955
The Score (2001)

nothing new

 

[Jim2k5]

A Scanner Darkly... i liked it and then wanted to go see snakes on a plane but my flat mates a pussy and cant cope with two films in a row

 

[foamy]

The Chronicles of Narnia - couldnt live up to my expectation from the TV series and book, and i fell asleep.

Broken Flowers - not great, apart from the 'Lolita' character. Does Bill Murray ever do anything apart from stand about?

The Constant Gardener - Good but seemed slightly overlong, maybe because it started with the end and didnt have the pace to forfil my intrigue

just finished the manga .... much deeper than the film. it actully tells us more about what is happening and why and even more importantly it really fleshes out the charactors ... like the anchient giant warrior actully become a fully fledged charactor in it's own right

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

A lot of people post regularly on this thread

would they consider fleshing out their opiions on what they watched a littlew more and either recording them or sending them as text to the urban radio and tv project?

first and last time i mention this on this thread i promise

I thought it would be so bad it would be good. It wasnt

The cinematic equivelant of pulling teeth...Domino.

Keira Knightly truely is the most talentless turd ever to grace our screens.

Panda Kopanda.

Mrs Suplex borrowed it off a workmate. Basically it's the only miyazaki ghibli thing that I don't have apart from omoide poro poro mostly because it's a really kiddie flick from 1972. However I quite enjoyed Miyazakis TV series Mirai shounen konan which follows some quite adult themes along the same lines as his later features.

Well Panda Kopanda was most definitely for kids but it was sort of cute, and surprisingly good and vibrant animation for the time. It's better than most kids cartoons though and as per other ghibli it has an intelligent side and there are no clear cut goodies and baddies.

I don't think I'm going to get myself a copy but the Music was amazing so I think I might grab a soundtrack.

Nah, that crown goes to Clive Owen, more wooden than Pinnochio on K, a truly, monumentally, shit actor.

Watched The Missing last night, which was shit. The night before was Lucky Number Slevin which was good.

I actually thought he was quite good in Closer. Not brilliant but ok. Mind you everything else Ive seen him in he is absolutely dire.

 

[maya]

a documentary about the bitter rivalry between Scrabble enthusiasts.
i could look up the title, but i'm not that enthusiastic about the subject, tbh.

 

[Jim2k5]

watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells again last night, calssic film. oh and the night before The Transporter on TV.

 

[Dubversion]

watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells again last night, calssic film.

horrible horrible piece of mockney crap

I watched part 4 of Soul Deep - the one about Stax. Just fantastic TV like only the BBC can do. Very moving, very exciting

 

[sojourner]

Cold Mountain night before last - I only really watched it for Jacky. They should have given him a bigger part Was okay I suppose - nowt spesh. Renee Z grated, big time, Jude Law does pathetic bastard quite well.

Will be watching It's All Gone Pete Tong tonight, looks okay

Wish I'd been watching Soul Deep

 

[fear-n-loathing]

Will be watching It's All Gone Pete Tong tonight, looks okay

Watched that the other night not too bad, a bit of a mockumentary type thing.

I watched the remake of the amityville horror last night. Thought it was pretty good but I haven't seen the orginal yet so could be complete shite in comparison

Ha - I googled Frankie Wilde first thing and thought 'blimey he doesn't half look like dennis pennis' Took a moment to realise what was going on...I've not been well though eh?


You haven't seen the original amityville?! Shocking! Seems to be a regular occurrence these days though, watching the remake and then the original - my daughter does it all the time. I just sit there and feel old cos I watched the originals when they came out

 

[Dubversion]

well, come on, it's absolute toilet. One of the most embarassing films I've ever had to watch. I wanted to slap everyone in it, especially that twunt Moran. Ritchie's a talent-free twat, the movie's a series of clichés and pop videos strung together.. Pathetic film.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

yeah i know i've done it the wrong way round i usually do watch the oringal first just screenselect sent me the remake before the orginal

 

[Jim2k5]

i liked it and still do

 

[milesy]

kidulthood. nit quite the shocking slice of gritty, bleak, urban realism that it would like to think it is. corny script, hammy acting, and funny in places where i don't think it meant to be. and the music didn't seem to fit IMO.

It's absolute shit isn't it milesy.

 

[milesy]

um....yeesss?

teenagers can not do in one day all that they did in kidulthood. exactly what time of day did the two girls do all the coke and pills? cos they seemed right as rain when they went shopping a little later.
