What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

Loads of episodes of Frasier :) , since I was given series 1-4 for Christmas. My dad has managed to mix up all the discs so that they're all out of sequence, not that it makes much difference I suppose.
 
The Break Up - :oops: not too bad but a bit of a :confused: ending
Hard Candy - dragged a bit for a thriller, not sure i'd recommend it.
 
Ray - very disappointing :(

Just dragged and dragged and then it was all 'oh and they all lived happily ever after the end' in the last 5 mins. And apparently the bit about being banned in Georgia isn't even true :rolleyes:
 
apocolypta - entertaining and defo a cinema event - unlike any other film on release.

cons - historically inaccurate and felt like a 1930s tarzan movie at times - "savages, the whole lotta them..."
 
Blood diamond, excellent, several relationships, anti hero, victim, reporter, love interest, global syndicates, money and idealistic dreams. The catch phrase, T.I.A., This Is Africa. A diamond, insurgents, the horrors of war, and the chase with an ending to satisfy most ardent film goers.

All the ingredients for an evenings entertainment. Leonardo DeCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou, all make strong contributions to the story and the ending underlines both failed and realised dreams and achievemnts.

1990 Sierra leone is the setting and civil war is the reason, a family seperated and almost destroyed, a young son indoctrinated into the RUF, a father and husband desperate to find his family, an anti hero seeking the one last chance to flee Africa, a reporter wordly wise to the infamy of the war zone and seeking the world exclusive, big business seeking to gain control of the Pink Diamond, coloured by the blood of warring nations for control of Sierra Leone.

All in one film, well worth watching.
 
My two oldest friends were up to stay this weekend, so overall I watched:

Dolls :D
The Thing
Scissors :oops:
10 Things I Hate About You
Mallrats
The Lady Vanishes :cool:
 
The Man who fell to earth.

I used to quite like this and still sort of do but it did have me nodding off in places this time round. It's no Walkabout.

OMG hope you had something fluffy and nice to bring you round after watching that fucker. Almost as scary as the official 1960's public information video giving you practical advice in the event of a nuclear attack (positions to asume during explosions and what do if with any dead bodies in the house etc :( )
 
Remake of The Omen

Why copy a film to the letter like that? Because they couldn't be arsed to change bits, they had David Thewlis as the probably the only photojournalist still working in print (I'm ready to be corrected on this one). I mean, it's a decent watch, but there's already a film like this called The Omen. Lazy fuckers.

The dream sequences were scary though.
 
Crank.


I think Jason Stratham is so bad he's good and transporter 1 was dire in a good way. Crank is just dire in....erm....a real dire way. Total and utter shite. Shockingly bad.
 
Watched Far From Heaven with my mum since I thought it might be one of the things that she might like, twas good, I didn't know much about the storyline going in so was pleasantly suprised. And seems so strange to have the word 'jeez' frowned upon!
 
My Sassy Girl.

Quite long but didn't seem so bad on this my second viewing. Still seems a bit messy, but despite that it still had me balling though the whole of the last act.

I like the fact that the Koreans seem to think they have to go to england to escape their love troubles.
 
untold scandal
a korean version of dangerous liaisons.
not a big fan of copy.
but gotta admire those picturorial scenaries.
beautifully done.

Yeah it was pretty harrowing stuff, I've got Oldboy and Dobermann to watch this week as well - my mrs asked for something lighthearted so I got those three :D
 
The Angels thing really put me off Wim Wenders but I just saw Alice in den Städten - fantastisch! 1million times more affecting and mesmerising than any other road movie I've seen.
 
Fudoh.



I bought the J DVD about 2 years ago but never got around to watching it. I'd seen the US DVD which has to be the worst DVD ever made. No menu, no chapters, unskipable trailers, crapest picture ever + non anamorphic, burnt in subs.

Much nicer to watch it looking slick. A fun little jaunt but not Miikes best.
It still has enough weirdness with it's infant assassins and fanny blow dart hermaphrodite school girl assassin.

The Gods must be Crazy... WHAT A FILM!!! :D

Yes :D

Quality quality film. One of my favourite comedies. I really like the way the different strands interweave, and it has a couple of moments of genuine poignancy too.

The scene where the white buffoon guy is trying to drive his car through the gate is priceless.
