What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Sunray]

Being John Malkovich

Probably the most twisted movie of all time.

 

[passenger]

smoking aces went to turn it off about 5 times managed to watch it

a bit ott but not bad ish

 

[corporate whore]

Idiocracy. Good premise, bad result, few laughs.

It's no 'Office Space', that's for sure..

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

The Simpsons.

Bit and some and a little

Actually, it was far better than I was worrying, althought may just be because I've had a Simpson-deprived 6 months cos of those Cuntsacks @ Virgin Media...

i watched it too

it's.... not as good as i hoped... not horible but i found they ended up pushing boundries rather than just being straight up funny


and does havering barts little elephant on screen make it shotacon?

 

[Geri]

Watched Zodiac last night - it was good, I had to fight from falling asleep once or twice though.

 

[N_igma]

Detroit Rock City.

Good fun, like these sort of films.

 

[Orang Utan]

Severance with Danny Dyer.
Gruesome black comedy about Arms Dealers getting massacred in the woods in Eastern Europe. Class premise for a movie!

And, the boy's got talent!

Danny Dire? Do me a favour! He's terrible. He's a cast-iron guarantee that the film will be shit

 

[May Kasahara]

Been on a Wire marathon this evening - series 3, hotting up

(slowly)

 

[Badgers]

Peep Show (3 episodes)

LOLathon!

Forgot how much this makes me cringe (in a good way)

 

[sojourner]

Unbreakable - because I couldn't remember how it ended

 

[corporate whore]

Watched Idlewild, the Outkast movie, which is really nicely made and not in anyway as terrible as I thought it might be. Kicks shit out of Purple Rain, lets put it that way..

Oh, and considering it was always Dre who was "gonna do a little acting", though Big Boi was good too.

Also saw Ripleys Game, in which John Malkovich does his usual thing and Ray Winstone does his usual thing and Dougray Scott looks baffled.

Not nearly as bad as "The Talented Mr Ripley", in which everyone's a cunt.

 

[Dubversion]

a big Wire splurge, to get to the end of Season 2. Not as good as Season 1 - somehow Ziggy, Nicos etc didn't engage quite the same way D'Angelo and the Towers kids did. Also, played for laughs a bit more in S2, which worked sometimes but less so others (McNulty's English accent).

But still absolutely fantastic stuff, can't wait to get stuck into S3.

 

[Orang Utan]

Unbreakable - because I couldn't remember how it ended

That's why I watched it again too and I was much more impressed by it this time. I'm not so sure it's overrated now. It's certainly way better than MNS's other films.

 

[Orang Utan]

I also watched Following, Christopher Nolan's no-budget debut, a black and white hour long film about a writer who starts following people for inspiration and gets involved with a charismatic burglar. It has a similar chronologically shuffled narrative as Memento. Very impressive.

 

[sojourner]

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would tbh - think I was too stoned last time I watched it

 

[Orang Utan]

Me too! There are so many films that I've watched whilst stoned that I've subsequently had to re-evaluate

 

[llantwit]

Danny Dire?

Do me a favour! He's terrible. He's a cast-iron guarantee that the film will be shit

Slightly unfair. He was good in this - where he played someone stoned and on mushrooms while being chased through the woods by head-fucked mercenaries.
He was also good in the two Nick Love films I've seen him in - Goodbye Charlie Bright and That one set in Spain - The Business or something.

Embarassing isn't it?!

I watched a film tother night with me daughter who swore blind I'd watched it before with her, but I couldn't remember anything about it! Then again, she DOES talk through most films we watch together, so it's quite hard to remember anything

 

[stroober]

smokin' aces - nae bad at all
solaris - bit odd

Oh no he wasn't

 

[llantwit]

Alright then.

 

[elevendayempire]

Children of Men. Fuck me, that was bleak. Very good though.

SG

 

[CharlieAddict]

the pursuit of happyness -
why on earth did he send his son to a chinese speaking daycare centre?
a bit stupid but okay film.

 

[rollinder]

just watched Until The End Of The World
random library rental - (probable sublim urban influance ) don't want to give it back
1/2 hour later & been reading imdb & finding it on amazon - still can barely begin to process what I've just watched

god that was beautiful i think we need an oh wow smily

 

[May Kasahara]

Lost Highway

Some nice moods, but overall pretty meh I thought. Balthazar Getty was cute though.

 

[corporate whore]

Once Upon A Time In America.
Very good
V e r y l o n g

 

[ramjamclub]

Blood Diamond

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.


All in one film, well worth watching.

Watched it last night. A watchable film and plenty of action.
The Rhodesian accent Dicaprio tried was patchy. He tries to act the tough guy but he's not in the same league as Sean Bean, Bruce Willis or even Humphrey Bogarde. Miscast. The reporter played by Jennifer Connelly is a double for

BBC's Suzanne Reid.

 

[zenie]

Went to see The Science of Sleep last night, was quite sweet but a bit meh...It's always nice to see films @ the cinema

 

[Orang Utan]

Lots of BSG Season 1 - loving it! Loving the ladies in it too

 

[May Kasahara]

At last, you're on the turn! *cackles*
