What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Johnny Canuck3]

Undercover Brother.

Possibly the best film ever made.

Have remembered 'Vozvrashcheniye' (the return)

Undercover Brother.

Possibly the best film ever made.

That's a bold claim, Johnny... Mind you, the amount of times I've said something was the 'best film I've ever seen' and then forgotten about it 6 months later...

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Hostel.

Dissapointing. Not scary. The houmour of cabin feaver wasn't there. The charictors did stupid things that didn't make sence. Where was Miike Takashi?
*SPOILER*
How did the bloke know the other bloke killed his mate? He wasn't there.

Pistol Opera

Mental. Nice boots. WTF?
Looked very nice.

i watched "I drink your blood" last night, it is about this group of satanist hippies who move to a small town and take crazy lsd then their meat pies get spiked with rabies by this little kid and they go on a wild rampage and infect loads of other people, then they all get shot. it was excellent.

 

[Jim2k5]

Tell me about it! He only ever plays one character: Cockney Wanker. He's the living embodiment of a Nuts reader, crassly and brazenly delivering lines like 'I can't wait to see your fanny' with staggering ineptitude. He belongs in EastEnders, not on our cinema screens.

haha nicely put mate

 

[Dubversion]

watched the Virgin Suicides. Very good film, but wish I'd seen it before i read the book..

 

[Orang Utan]

Why's that? I've seen the film but been put off reading the book cos I know what happens now

 

[Dubversion]

Why's that? I've seen the film but been put off reading the book cos I know what happens now

The book is written in a really strange way - the narrative voice is a kind of anonymous non-specific voice of all the boys. It's all "we watched them... " and there's no defined narrator, if that makes sense.. The book is really much more about their reactions to the girls than the girls themselves. As such, pretty bloody hard to film, so Coppola shifted the emphasis to the girls pretty much. It is a very good film and does capture what made the book so absolutely brilliant, it's just different and it's a little frustrating if you have read it already. I really urge you to read it - some of the best writing i've ever come across.. a kind of hazy summery narcotic fug, but also very very witty and caustic in places.

 

[Orang Utan]

I'll give it a go, though I don't like knowing what's going to happen

 

[Dubversion]

doesn't really matter -it's not a thriller or anything.. in fact, the very first page of the book (and the opening narrative of the film) telegraph that they're all going to top themselves...

 

[Grandma Death]

Election-been meaning to watch this for ages. Im a big fan of Alexander Payne -wasnt disappointed either. Ive never seen a film with Reese Witherspoon in either-for some strange reason I thought she'd be awful. Pleasantly surprised!

How has this slipped past me? It sounds bloody great.

One of my favourite movies of recent years. I too was pleasantly surprised by RW; I always quite liked her, but I didn't really appreciate how talented she is till then. Truly teetering on the edge of grotesque, but still surprisingly sympathetic, especially compared with the gross levels of denial and self-regard practiced by all the other characters; at least Tracey Flick is honest about it, it's written all over her puggy little screwed-up face!

Yeah but he's spoiled the plot now.

 

[rutabowa]

Yeah but he's spoiled the plot now.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Curse of the Cobra Woman. 70's hippies and Phillipino snake women in the jungles of Mindanao.

 

[Moggy]

Hostel.

Where was Miike Takashi?

When the main guy was being taken into the warehouse miike was on his way out and warned him to be careful or he could spend all his money inside, or something like that anyway.

 

[Dubversion]

Pirates of the Caribbean Two.

the promise of another enjoyable first movie spunked away on a deeply disappointing follow-up

 

[krtek a houby]

Last ep of Extras series 2.

Genius.

Fair play to Roberts Lindsay and DeNiro!

 

[Dubversion]

Yeh, they really acted out of their skins for that, didn't they?

 

[Kanda]

The last 8hrs of 24 Series 1!!

Whole series in 3 sittings... how sad! Gonna buy Series 2 this w/e

 

[Moggy]

First 8 episodes of Heroes throughout the day - top stuff, is ever so slightly cheesy in parts.

 

[krtek a houby]

Yeh, they really acted out of their skins for that, didn't they?

I thought so...

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

When the main guy was being taken into the warehouse miike was on his way out and warned him to be careful or he could spend all his money inside, or something like that anyway.

Rubbish.

I like his cameo in neighbour number 13 where he gets chopped to bits.

No sunglasses.

 

[Moggy]

So when are we gonna have Takashi Miike night then?

 

[fear-n-loathing]

Evil Dead 2 - its boom stick time!!

 

[Julie]

Crash. Not bad.

 

[Dubversion]

Frida

I can't believe I hadn't seen this before, it's one of the most beautiful and moving films I've ever seen. Absolutely blew me away.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Accepted. Dumb american teen comedy. Quite funny though! nods to ferris bueller... Better than some of the other similar films recently
