What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Sunspots]

Really want to see that.

Then you should've come along to The Cube last night!

 

[Sunspots]

excellent, just found a torrent for that, cheers

There's a fair bit of nostalgic self-mythologizing by middle-aged american men (-which reminded me of Dogtown and Z-Boys...). Then again, the mainstream wasn't particularly interested at the time, so I guess it's up to these guys to tell their story themselves.

Worth watching, anyway...

Blood Diamond.

There I am, watching this movie about brown people, sitting there in the family room, me and my brown kid.

I say to him, 'you can see how lucky we are'. Even though it's hollywood, it brings home how obscenely, perversely, grotesquely lucky we are here in the developed world.

 

[loud 1]

super troopers - one of the funniest films ever made

good aye!

 

[Orang Utan]

The Squid And The Whale - excruciating and hilarious drama about a family in the midst of divorce. Reminiscent of Happiness, esp the scene in which a little boy drinks whisky and masturbates whilst listening to Tangerine Dream's Love On A Fast Train

tis just as educational.

Today/this evening I watched a superb Korean film called Memories of Murder. Add it to your list if you like Se7en-type murder/mystery/thriller films, and korean films.

Oz season 1 ep 1-4 - megagrim

it's good, isn't it? Laura Linney specially. Thought Jeff Daniels wasn't quite right, but the rest was great

 

[Orang Utan]

I dunno, I thought he was ideal!

 

[Belushi]

The new King Kong, didnt think much of it.

 

[Orang Utan]

Not even the penisworms?

 

[tastebud]

I watched A Short Film About Love.
The beautiful music score always distracts me when I watch his films.

 

[purves grundy]

Notes On A Scandal - not bad

Bobby - bloody excellent

Hellraiser - for the umpteenth time. It left my girlfriend feeling depressed

And yesterday I was overjoyed to receive in the post the first series of The Thick of It and ManStrokeWoman - read so many good things about the former, know nothing about the latter. Nice gift though

 

[Onslow]

Not last night but the night before, i watched Capote and have been annoying every fucker since by trying to do the voice.

That's a really good film that is.

I bet loads of people try to do the voice after they see it.


I halfheartedly watched "Big Fish".

 

[corporate whore]

The Hot Spot - engaging, kinda smart, swooned over Jennifer Connolly

 

[sojourner]

11:14

Bought it off the telly. Was quite entertaining in a stoned-on-the-couch kinda way

 

[fear-n-loathing]

Superman Returns - too long, too slow and not enough action

 

[foamy]

Pans Labyrinth. but scary - i had to bite on my finger 3 times, not that i'm ever jumpy at films but there was something about the bottle and the rabbit hunters eye that got me

 

[Dubversion]

The Good Girl. great cast - Tim Blake Nelson, John C Reilly, Jake Gylenhaal, the ever lovely Zooey Deschanel - but not all that. An inconsequential faux-indie movie that I think wanted to be more haunting or affecting than it was. And Aniston just isn't up to her role, IMO

 

[mr_eko]

The Prestige - a really original and stylish film. Excellent acting and superbly shot.

Yes, I loved it. One of my favourite films this decade...

 

[corporate whore]

A Very Long Engagement, from the people that brought you Amelie.

Lots of beautiful washed out colour, some great editing and I'll be damned if it isn't an anti-war movie dressed up as a romantic melodrama.

Lots of the same cast as Amelie, including the excellent Dominique Pinon, Ticky Holgado and Audrey Tatou, plus an unheralded, French speaking cameo by Jodie Foster

It's ace.

 

[May Kasahara]

Hooray! My dad has, um, gifted me with series 2 of The Wire, which has prompted Mr K to start watching series 1 - so I've been watching that again. Still awesome, can't wait to start the second lot.

 

[Dubversion]

Art School Confidential - same team as Ghost World, but not as good. Fairly enjoyable but didn't seem to be able to decide quite what it wanted to be.

 

[mr_eko]

Little Miss Sunshine - not what I was expecting and the beauty pagent stuff at end was a bit disturbing but I really enjoyed it made me smile.

 

[axon]

Cocaine Cowboys. Documentary about where Miami got it's money from. Had some interesting facts, apparently in the early 80s there was more actual cash being deposited in Miami banks than there was in the rest of the whole of USA put together!

 

[G. Fieendish]

Borat.....(Aaaarggghhhh....!!!!)

 

[Pie 1]

Thank You For Smoking - kind of amusing while it's on, but it's really just an off the shelf satire by numbers jobby.

Wolf Creek - 'Kin ell
I thought it was really, really well made, the cinematography is stunning & the build up is fucking intense. Not a nice film at all though.
