What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

David Lynch's "Dune". Forgotten what a sumptuous and detailed (and occasionally grotesque) film this was. Very much underrated IMO.
 
Rejkavik 101 - alright, but not as good as i remember everyone saying it was. nowt special

Peeping Tom - unalloyed genius. Still seeing new things in it twenty years after first (and probably every year since) watching it
 
Amercian Cousins - Jolly little jape about NY mobsters hiding out at their cousin's Glasgow ice cream parlour. Put a smile on my face.. which was nice :)
 
i watched The Cooler last night. i really enjoyed it. a nice twist at the end and a lovely happy ending. the lead actor (sorry cant remember his name) i thought was excellent.
 
Temps Du Loup

Relentlessly grim post-apocalyptic drama from Michael Haneke. No obvious story arc, just a daily struggle for survival, very little by way of 'action' but plenty of atmosphere. A frustrating viewing experience, but ultimately satisfying as it's a slow burner that leaves you thinking about it for a long, long time afterwards.
 
Mondo Enduro

"44,000 Miles by Motorbike in 440 Days - The longest possible land route in the shortest possible time"
 
Farenhight 9/11

This was good at the start and lost its way towards the end. Best bit was watching GWB after being told the country was under attack, just sit in a children's school clearly unsure sure what to do?
 
Battle Royale II - what a load of tedious wank, jostling for the position of worst movie seen this year along with "Somethings Gotta Give", "School of Rock", "Dark Water" and "Feardotcom".

I guess 12 year olds might enjoy it.

Didn't have a wire innit.
 
My Own Private Idaho - Rather like River Phoenix's character I kept falling asleep too.

Gangs of New York - enjoyed it a bit more the 2nd time. Still patchy at best though.

Gosford Park - Thought it was quite good.

Twin Peaks Series 1 - even better on the rewatch. The owls are not what they seem. :cool:
 
The Elephant Man. Me and the girlie sat there and bawled our eyes out. I'm taking her on a journey through the world of David Lynch.
 
Meet the Feebles. Its a midly amusing rip off of the muppets. Quite disappointing given that he had so much material to take the piss with.

Classic Peter Jackson grunge, on the whole OK, just.

Dark Water is quality :mad: :mad:

This afternoon I watched the old 80s film explorers, which I loved as a kid. Great stuff, and surely one of the trippiest of any 80s cheesy kids films?

A great film. Usually I dislike Lynch, but that is his one film to contain genuine emotion. Very, very beautiful

Sorry didn't do it for me, but then I didn't like the Ring much either, something about this sort of atmospheric horror style that I find very frustrating and tedious.

Fair play. I like this sort of thing...

in which case, I suppose you';re highly unlikely to check out the Thai film Nang Nak...

(one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen - horror or otherwise - must pm ff now as h never reads film forum)
 
Man On Fire.

Amusing and entertaining, but I could have lived without all the flashy editing and cutting, because it did nothing for the overall play of the movie, just made the subtitles hard to read when they were there (although these were often unessecary anyway).

Still, well worth a watch though, definitely the best action film I've seen in a while - although the ending was a little flat and somewhat disappointing.
 
Farenheit 9/11 - even better than I thought it would be. Chilling, depressing and a frightening indictment of that monkey-faced, piggy-eyed, election-stealing sack of shit in the White House. The only thing that puzzled me was a quote from the Daily Mirror on the DVD box, describing the film as 'Laugh out-loud funny'. Erm, did their reviewer watch some alternate version packed with gags and hilarious repartee because the version I saw made me fucking blub like an infant.
 
"Infernal affairs" fantastic chinese film, A Triad leader plants a bunch of young hoods in the police force as moles and one rises quite high. In the meantime the police have placed a young cop deepundercover and he is a mole in this Triad, both are trying to find out who the other one is.

Hollywood are planning a remake but i recommend watching it if you can get a hold of it.
 
Alien v Predator avi

I had to see it to make my own mind up about it.

Just lovely how the leading lady when skiping of into the sunset with Predator so sweet :rolleyes:

ok
 
Over the last two weeks I have watched every episode of Twin Peaks. Still can't figure out exactly what happens in The Red Room mind :D
