Watched the sonny chiba street fighter trilogy and anyone who is remotely interested i would recommend it highly

the first one is exactly what films should be
 
Over the weeked I watched Leon, The 5th Element and Taxi.

Liked Leon, thought the 5th Element was silly but ok, and Taxi was mildly entertaining. Mixed it up with a few episdoes of Brideshead Revisited and Yes Minister.
 
I watched 'Meet me in St Louis' again, it's a tragedy but I can't get enough of it. When you hear the song 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' in the proper context of the movie, well, weep openly. Plus 'The trolley song'- need I say more? It's actually a really dark movie when you re-watch it- the doll cemetery, the fake body on the tram tracks, the persecution of the clearly Jewish neighbours on Halloween . . .

"Christie Malry's Own Double Entry"

I had to double check IMDB to make sure you weren't trying to subvert this thread with filthy pornography... a movie about accounting - whoda' thunk it?!

I found this to be unoriginal, nasty, exploitative, highly offensive trash. A nerdy MTV director's wank fantasy, that's as informative about drugs as the Conservative Party conference. It's political uncorrectness gone mad, I tell you!

havent read the book - but a really cool film. spent years trying to track it down. - very good. very cool. :)

The book is still in print. I think it's published by Picador. Amazon have it and any decent bookseller should be able to order it for you. The author was B.S Johnson.

I got the dvd for £1.49 from 'The Works'. They had stacks of them.

Next on the list 'Rabbit Proof Fence'. Anyone seen it?

Ooh, no - I wanted to see it but I didn't get around to it!

I'm going to order it from Blockbuster now, cheers for the reminder!

I got that from Amazon yesterday and watched it last night, brilliant film.
There's a documentary on the disc too which you must watch. But I was shocked to discover just how badly the Aborigines were treated. :mad:

Yea, not up to much.

Didnt represent the real high's and lows, ins and outs.. just bollox with nasty c*nts who should be shot.
 
Watched A Time To Kill. Pretty good film considering it was based on a John Grisham novel. Good performance from Samuel L Jackson, Matthew McConnaughey and also Kevin Spacey, who for once avoided being Kevin Spacey and acted like a different character. In fact I forgot it was him. Not that I think he's bad when he does play Kevin Spacey, but it does get repetitive, as whether he's playing a police hostage negotiator, an arch criminal, or a suburbanite suffering a midlife crisis he plays the same character...
 
I watched Elephant. I liked it but it had some random long shots that were more artsy than needed for a movie about high school shootings. Oh and my favourite character was the one who ended up shooting everyone, that is a classic thing for me to do, somehow pick out the most fucked up person to be my favourite then find out about their deep psychological issues. :rolleyes:
 
A few more episodes of Brideshead Revisited.

Charles has left Brideshead, after Lady Marchmain found out he gave Sebastian money to go to the pub. Eastenders it aint :cool:
