What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Orang Utan]

Severance - a surprise cos it had Danny Dire in it and it was good! Very funny and suitably gory - not particularly original, apart from the fact that the baddies don't just keep coming back like in most horror films - it plays with this convention quite cleverly actually

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, I know what you mean - it really grated for the first five minutes or so, but then began to establish a good flow. I thought Joe Mantegna was especially good at making the words and repetition seem natural.

First thing of Mamet's I've seen actually Must rent more.

Oooh, you're in for a treat then - The Spanish Prisoner is excellent and Heist ain't bad either - oh and don't forget Glengarry Glen Ross

 

[Badgers]

When the Wind Blows
One I have not seen for years and really well done, just not that cheery!!

 

[renegadechicken]

i watched Killer Klowns from Outta Space again last night.............still love it and find it very funny, especially the shadow puppets.

understatement of the yeah tbh

 

[mr_eko]

Sugarhouse - pretty good enjoyed it. A really great performance from Ashley Walters. Definitely worth a look

 

[CharlieAddict]

Shooter - i swear mark wahlberg is the carbon copy of matt damon - they seem to make similar films...and i don't know how this one slipped under me radar, would loved to have seen it on the big screen cos it sure beats the ass out of the bourne ultimatum.

it also has an indian man in it.
not seen an indian man in a major (hollywood) film since harold and kumar/the guru.

Deathproof - well enjoyed, cracking soundtrack

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Deffo seconded on the first two of those - not seen GGR.

I actually really enjoyed Heist. The more actionny nature of it made it flow a bit better.

Today I watched the first half of 1408 with John Cusack, which was shit-scary, in fact too scary for me to watch by myself at 1am, so I'm going to watch the second half tomorrow, in daylight, or something. It's one of those shining-type films which does it all by suspense rather than gore... very well done but a bit too well done...

 

[Glamgurl36]

We randomly rented "The Ex" with Zach Braff I didn't think it would be goo because there was a lot of copies. but it was suprisingly really funny. i recommend it

Catch A Fire: good movie about the ANC in South Africa, during apartheid days.

All M Night Shyamalan's films

Although I doubt they have large roles, this will have quite a few:

The Darjeeling Limited

Also this summer there was a film with this character in it.

Admittedly, not many that I can think of, although it's not something that I look out for.

 

[themonkeyman]

The Girl Next Door - really like this film - Elisha Cuthbert in it too, which always helps

North By Northwest - Classic

 

[sojourner]

The Illusionist - quite enjoyed it, bit bored at times though. Loved the camerawork

 

[fear-n-loathing]

platoon, haven't seen it for ages. its bloody great

 

[May Kasahara]

Ooh, I haven't watched Platoon for years - must obtain.

[Reno]

The first two episodes of Season 6 of The Shield. I'm hooked (again).

 

[Belushi]

The first two episodes of Season 6 of The Shield. I'm hooked (again).

I love the Shield, I've been recording all of this season and am going to watch them all in one marathon session of corrupt polic violence.

I did the same, I can't just watch one episode at a week with The Shield. If I didn't have to go to work the next day I would have stayed up all night watching it all.

I've just watched a 1985 South Bank Show about Francis Bacon. At some point Bacon and Melvyn Bragg are in the Tate Gallery looking at slides of his paintings, and Bacon keeps going -- "That one is rubbish", "I didn't get this one right", "That is a complete disaster", "This one doesn't work at all", "I wish I'd just burned this", "I really hate this", "Oh I should have destroyed this one" and so on On Rothko: "Oh I HATE that dirty maroon colour that's used in those things... If I ever wanted to get depressed I'd go spend a few hours into the Rothko room to look at dreary maroon"

[rollinder]

*starts kicking self for not getting Bacon's paintings when went to exhibition with college*

watched Fight Club in my pyjamas - you really do not want to be nibbling on toast just they start rifalling through the bins for *fat* /ick

 

[foo]

i went to bed early and watched the Defininte Article and Unrepeatable - all over again. somewhat dated but worth it for the giggles.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Watched second half of 1408. Superb. Best US horror film in years.

 

[dada]

28 weeks later

very good film.
love it.
the betrayal from the husband and forgiveness from the wife.
and at the end the husband kills the wife!
how ironic.
that's one unlucky woman.

 

[Orang Utan]

you are a bit of a twat, dada - edit that post to get rid of the spoilers

 

[Badgers]

Watched Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire last night.

I think it is the best film adaptation I have seen so far and enjoyed it.

 

[corporate whore]

Watched Blood Diamond and thought it was pretty good. Easily to dismiss as Hollywood hand-wringing, perhaps, but at least it got made, and made well.

My di Caprio tolerance is on the rise, and has been since that awful Gangs of New York shite
