What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

I watched two rubbish films last night. Elektra - a Marvel Comics film - I think you need to be familiar with the comics to understand cos I found it incoherent and confused. I also saw Hide & Seek - a chiller that proves how poor or indiscriminate Robert De Niro is at choosing films these days. It wasn't scary and the twist was obvious and poorly executed. Better than telly though.

Just watched an Australian film called 'Kenny'. Brilliant! Funniest film I've seen for years

Heh! Mad isnt it :D

Crank – watched this on a lot of K. Didn’t understand a thing. Very weird. Enjoyed it though :D

Oh dear it was a bad film wasn't it. So bloody obvious too. When I got the review DVD I was pleased to see four alt endings. Sadly the only difference is the picture the girl draws in the end. Rubbish.

does it involve a car splitting in half? that's ALL i remember.. is it the same one?

There is a scene with banger racing but can't remember one splitting in half. I actually thought it was a documentary until after the race when the fans started firebombing the portaloos
 
The Wicker Man
The original, not the remake. Couldn't get the director's cut to play, but that's just as well cos an extra 20 minutes of twee inbreds would have finished me off. I was expecting something a macabre; mostly it was just plain silly.

ah, different movie i think..


We watched Intolerable Cruelty - far from the Coens' best work but still a lot of fun
 
Oh god, I appear to be on a Peep Show odyssey. Started watching series 1 a couple of days ago, and am now on series 3 (I love TV choice on demand sooo much)

Funny as fuck! How did I manage to miss this?! I'll tell you why - because I'm probably in bed when it's on :oops:

The bad thing - fantastic :D
 
Mean streets, first time I've seen it. Made me realise how good an actor Robert DeNiro is, having seen him in so many later roles I had to keep reminding myself that the skulking, charmless Johnny Boy was really him.

I'm now watching all of Spaced



but last night TV choice on demand stopped working :mad: so I watched My Name Is Joe instead, which was alright. The guy playing Joe was very charismatic (Peter Mullen)
 
Actually - I'm running out of films on my selection list, any suggestions?

I don't like slush, I like challenging films, don't like spy/cop/war stuff...am going to stick a load of dogme films on there cos I rather like their attitude

I've only seen 2 off that list - Hairdressers Husband (which I can't watch again as it reminds me of someone) and Red Road which I watched recently and really loved


They all look really interesting - cheers again :)
