What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Dubversion]

quiet liked hero ... it had some nice artistry in places although i found one of two of the fights went a tiny bit CG heavy at times ... all in all a good film though

apart from the might-is-right subtext...

i watched the directors cut of the Wicker Man - much improved

 

[passenger]

the grudge i want my money back it was shite and all the other films

i could have picked i choose that

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

it is a hard concept to be at ease with... the idea that even though your gonna be ruled by a man set to rule the world being at peace under his rule is better than being at war...

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

frida, didn't enjoy it as much as it'd hoped but wasn't in a good mood for having to sit still and concentrate on something!

Just watched my new DVD from amazon, i didn't even bother enquiring whether they sold it round here and it was well worth having to get a DVD player and new telly to watch it as it was a stunning, incredible, rivetting, bizarre trip. Much better than the earlier ones, they were good in their day, but a bit dated now. I loved it, and all i can think of is when can i watch it again.


Highly, highly recomended.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

honey. it wasn't amazing but then i wasn't expecting anything special from it but it was easy to watch, not least because of jessica alba

 

[The Lone Runner]

just got the box set and watched the first 4 episodes of Arrested Development...I think it was on bbc2 the end of last year? very very funny
(hello by the way - kind of new to boards x)

Sounds totally wrong. I'd rather not be at peace. Which film is this anyway? Hero?

I saw Matewan - damn good - and Mapantsulu - hard to follow, abrupt ending, nonetheless good.

 

[belboid]

ooh! can you get Mapantsula on DVD now then? Cool, I'll have to look oout for it, tis a good while since I've watched it (and I can't find my video).

Last night's dvd - Tranmere 4 Southampton 3

An absolute classic! Plus highlights of the previous rounds - god Kouomas' goal against Evertno was good!

Mts belboid wasn't wildly keen tho, i must admit - still good prep for her first ever Tranmere game this afternoon!

 

[Jo/Joe]

L'homme du train. Warm and witty. V.good.

 

[Dubversion]

9 Songs, to see if it was as bad as people said.

it was.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Shawshank Redemption - finally took it out of it's original cellophane wrapping

 

[stdPikachu]

Just bought the released-at-long-fucking-last Duel DVD. For those who haven't seen/heard of it, it was Spielberg's first film (made for TV) and is a pretty excellent and harrowing horror flick about a businessman being pursued by a mad truck driver. Simple yet highly suspenseful with some stunning camerawork. Beats Jaws trousers down IMHO.

 

[ill-informed]

Last night i watched

I've had it on video for 10 years but seeing my new dvd and on the new telly was like watching a different film, so many little details i'd missed and the colours and music were far more intense. It was also very interesting to hear the commentary afterwards.

A truly timeless classic.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Watched The Village. Didn't think it was as bad as some people on here have said...

 

[shoddysolutions]

9 Songs, to see if it was as bad as people said.

it was.

Gah you just wanted to watch some people shagging!

 

[foo]

9 Songs, to see if it was as bad as people said.

oh bugger. i'm seeing that later on this week. oh well, back-row shenanigans will have to suffice....

I bought two Bogie and Bacall films. Last night I watched Key Largo. Plastic palm trees, Edward G (the best villan ever!), loads of dialogue in place of special effects - superb stuff.

Bogart has got to have the most beautifully mournful and thoughtful face ever.

Tonight - To Have And Have Not....their first film together.

 

[belboid]

aah, you know how to whistle don't you foo?

 

[foo]

mm..yeh....how sexy is that film opening...!!

 

[shoddysolutions]

eXistenZ

Oh dear. Cronenberg for the gamer generation. The film's corny accents, crap acting and obviously fake locations probably were a deliberate devide to provide clues to the game-within-a-game plot, but it made for painful viewing. The intention was probably for the viewer to be so disoriented that he/she would keep asking himself "Is this real?" but instead I kept asking myself "Is this shit?" and unfortunately it was, especially the 'shock' ending. There were some great ideas in there (flesh and bone guns, consoles made from mutated amphibians etc) and I loved 'Trout Farm', but if you want to see Croneneberg at his fucked up best, get Videodrome or Naked Lunch instead.

9 Songs, to see if it was as bad as people said.

But you see it going in and everything!

Henry's Cat Vol 4

This is fucking mental. My daughter loves it.

 

[belboid]

mm..yeh....how sexy is that film opening...!!

anything with the two of them in is just incredibly sexy!

 

[foo]

too right.

classy!

 

[barbaragood]

watched the swedish film called "Together" (Tillsammans)

very dysfunctional but totally warm, charming and not too much abba in the background. and don't have to be in a good mood to watch it.

and also enlightened me to the fact that not all swedish people are blonde. who would have thought it?

you weren't fond? i really like eXistenZ, i find it's flaws quite endearing and how can you not like a film with a gun made out of the day's special?!

watched badlands yesterday, sissy spacek [sp?] seems really creepy, she looks totally vacant but then i guess that was what she said in the film that she had no personality

 

[dynamicbaddog]

Just watched Requiem for a Dream moving storyline, cool visual effects and a great soundtrack

 

[Apathy]

the freshest kids, its a b-boying docu, and its good, also watched hip hop history an old bbc docu from 84 which was even better, gonna watch 'bombin' and 'bad meaning good' 2 other bbc hip hop docu's soon as

 

[maya]

"children of the damned" -old cold war communist scare propaganda, except the word "commies" is never used, it's about a village whose children gets bewitched by aliens to destroy their parents and all society...
it was a bit boring, too...

so we ended the day with:
"Dark City"- praised sci-fi, it was OK but i failed to see what all the fuss was about...(must be getting old... ) hm.

 

[killer b]

the slave girls of morgan le fay - early 70s french exploitation flick... lesbianism, magic and dwarves: do you need anything else in a film?
