What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[corporate whore]

Watched Pollock yesterday afternoon. What a cunt he was when he's had a drink..

Ed Harris is excellent, as is Marcia Gay Harden as Mrs. Pollock.

 

[Orang Utan]

Aaltra - a hilarious Belgian black comedy/road movie about two utter cunts who manage to permanently disable each other in a quarrel and set off in their wheelchairs to seek compensation for their accident - the final scene is priceless

28 days later - still blown away by the early scenes of a deserted London.

They just filmed it really early in the morning (look at the light). It was nearly ruined by a load of ravers.

11:14 - too polished and made too much sense.

hard candy - amazing! excellent stuff. what other film can make you cross your legs so much?

The Isle?

. . and I'm not even a girl.

 

[May Kasahara]

28 days later - still blown away by the early scenes of a deserted London.

Very much inspired by the BBC adaptation of Day Of The Triffids, apparently - the similarity in tone is striking. DOTT is great all the way to the end, however.

While off sick last week, I watched:

Dead Man Walking: a powerful film. Susan Sarandon is always watchable. I cried, although tbh at the moment I seem to cry at anything and everything.
The Birds: totally ace, what a fantastically well made movie. I love Tippi Hedren's character, so forthright and quirky.
Pirates of the Caribbean (again): to counteract all the intense emotion with some riproaring Johnny Depp action

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

A few chuckles, but on the whole, two hours i'd like to have back.

Phew, I'm glad I didn't buy that on Saturday then.

Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan

 

[Pie 1]

1st 2 episodes of Twin Peaks. I remembered much of it like 1990 was yesterday. Great stuff

 

[Iam]

300

Exactly as expected. Nice battle scenes, but absolutely nothing else.

 

[Maltin]

Billy Bathgate - not bad but nothing special

Oh God, You Devil - pretty poor but it was good to see George Burns with a twinkle in his eye

 

[CharlieAddict]

the wig - it's a korean film. it's slow. most people that have seen it, hate it. me on the other hand, thought it was amazing. and it's scarey too (the film is about a demonic wig btw).

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Borat. It is to scream.

Also, an effective, piercing look at American culture, done with a subtlety uncharacteristic for a UK filmmaker.

 

[Badgers]

1st Lord of the Rings film last night which is always good......

You freak!

 

[mhendo]

First five episodes of Season 1 of Rome.

Really enjoying it.

 

[rollinder]

Khaaaaaan!

yeah I was at chearing/lsughing at that part and the "I never forget a face...Checkov" line. Haven't seen it since I was @ 14 (or under) still good - I'd forgotten some parts.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

children of men - thought it was going to be shite, but its pretty damn good. Didn't know Clive Owen and Michael Caine were in it.

 

[8ball]

Think I might give that a go.

Saw Pan's Labyrinth - which you'll find a good deal less confusing if I tell you now that Pan isn't in it. Nor does the labyrinth belong to him.

Good, though.

Just watched this tonight. Thought it was outstanding.

 

[Badgers]

Not a DVD or Video but saw Planes, Trains and Automobiles on Film4 whilst dozing off on the sofa

 

[Orang Utan]

He is in it.

Pan is the fawn creature with the horns

I think 8ball was being literal, along the lines of the movie's Wikipedia entry:

Its original Spanish title is El laberinto del fauno, which refers to the faun of Roman mythology and directly translates to The Labyrinth of the Faun; the English title refers to the faun-like Greek god Pan, though del Toro has stated that the faun featured in the film is not actually Pan.

 

[Grandma Death]

Episode 12 of Season 6 The Sopranos. As per usual just amazing television. I am so going to miss it when it finishes

 

[Iam]

This week, I've been watching series one of Tour of Duty, the 80s Vietnam war TV show.

Cracking stuff, really well done.
