What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Orang Utan]

mate, that was at the cinema, not on dvd

People are allowed to use this thread to tell us what they saw at the cinema aren't they? I know I do


I watched Sex Traffic last night. It made me very very angry.

 

[SubZeroCat]

but i don't even have a tv/dvd player in my living room!

(((szc)))

You don't even have a living room to be fair

Orang - nevermind her, she's just a big bully

 

[foamy]

Snow Cake - had low hopes for it but i really liked it

 

[rollinder]

bad cso windows
icky melting plastic orange goo
and an incredibly young looking Robert Powell

 

[Badgers]

Started watching City of God (Cidade de Deus) but fell asleep!

Wicked film but with some brutal scenes

 

[corporate whore]

Watced The Black Dahlia and have composed a short letter to the director.

Dear Brian de Palma,

Please stop making films.

Thanks.

Christ it's dull.

Not his greatest film, but otherwise one of my fave directors.

I'll give you Carrie, Scarface and Carlito's Way, but nothing else. Snake Eyes and Mission to Mars are fairly poor. (IMHO, naturally )

He's making an Untouchables prequel apparently. Joy.

Greetings, Sisters, Obsession, Phantom of the Paradise, Carrie, The Fury, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Casualties of War, Carlito's Way and Femme Fatale are all brilliant IMO and there is something of interest even in his weakest film for anybody interested in "pure cinema". Never rated Scarface myself, but Mission to Mars is underrated and only let down by a poor ending. Snake Eyes is worth seeing for it's first 20 minutes alone.

The Black Dahlia is based on a fairly dull book and sticks closely too it. If anything it's a truer representation of Ellroy's work than LA Confidential, but then I'm not a fan of his writing.

"I wanna make The Black Dahlia"
"But Brian, that's really dull."
"Don't worry, I'll be faithful.."

Never seen Blow Out, think I've got it recorded. I'll give it a look.

Babel

pile o' shite.

He didn't actually want to make The Black Dahlia. He stepped in as replacement when the original director left the project, so it makes sense that it would be one of his less personal films. Still I agree, it's one of his failures, but then almost no director has a perfect track record and De Palma takes more risks than most.

I think Blow Out may just be his best film, it's one of my all time faves.

 

[Orang Utan]

The scene in Carrie in which the bucket of blood is sploshed on Carrie is one of the greatest cinema scenes of all time - certainly the most heart stopping

 

[Orang Utan]

I watched A Room For Romeo Brass again last night <sobs>

 

[zed]

Blow Out is a very underrated film. It was made with Travolta in the lead when he couldn't buy a serious role in his post Grease/Saturday Night Fever period. That may have had something to do with it.

 

[May Kasahara]

Over the last few days I've managed episode 5 of Band of Brothers and a rewatch of Bill Bailey - Cosmic Jam. Now that I'm feeling better, I might go up the library and rent a quality flick.

 

[Orang Utan]

My BIL worked on Band Of Brothers and I, coincidentally, have just watched 5 episodes of it recently!

 

[foamy]

Last Kiss.
Laughs uncontrollably at self

umm, no.

its only redeaming feature is that everyone in Hollywood seems to call it 'Babble'

 

[rollinder]

episode 2 of Doctor Who - City Of Death
a Douglas Adams script, Tom & Lalla off on a jolly in Paris and Julian Glover as a one eyed green spagetti monster

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Casshern

lovely effects... pity about the rest of the film

i can see what they were aiming at but it felt incomplete....

parts of it were great for silly cool anime style action but... i think may have better in animation rather than live action

but also.... the end bits... if i wanted deep thoughts about humanity and life... i'd watch eva again...

 

[Sunspots]

Lights In The Dusk, the latest by Aki Kaurismaki.

I generally like his films, but I found little to enjoy or care about in this one.

 

[foamy]

(not last night - friday night i think)
United 93. really good although it annoyed me how they didnt subtitle all of the hijackers dialogue. i know the hostages didnt understand it so maybe we werent told what they we saying to give that effect but i think we could have had more subtitled.

 

[CharlieAddict]

severance - loved it.

the caretaker - loved this too.

 

[Orang Utan]

Northern Soul - a short film by Shane Meadows - a very silly, broad comedy mockumentary about a wimp who wants to be a wrestler. It turns out to be an extended music promo for a shit band but it's enjoyable enough and stars the brother of Paddy Considine's character in Dead Man's Shoe and the mum from This Is England. Has anyone seen Meadows' other pop video for the Arctic Monkeys called Scummy Man? I also saw Basic Instinct 2 which is in the Plan Nine From Outer Space school of movies that are so bad they're good - unintentionally hilarious. With the added benefit of an opening scene of Stan Collymore on ket, being made to wank off Sharon Stone while she's driving a sports car round the Docklands

 

[corporate whore]

16 Blocks - Bruce Willis doing his increasingly believable washed-up-old-git routine, good turn from Mos Def, not bad at all.

 

[Grandma Death]

The last episode of Our Friends in the North-simply put-one of the greatest TV dramas of all time.

Smokin' Aces. Good action, stylish violence; light on plot.
