What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[ck]

Almodavar's "Tie Me Up , Tie Me Down". I'd never seen it before and really enjoyed it. In the same way that Penelope Cruz only seems good in "foreign" films (sorry , that seems to be the common term) , so is Antononio Banderas...

I love Almodavar's work ; can anyone reccomend any other Spanish movies ? He seems to have the monopoly.

 

[sparkling]

Irobot which was a waste of two hours of my life.

 

[ill-informed]

I really like Almodovar too, especially his recent stuff ... 'Talk to Her' was simply beautiful film. There's a thread about Spanish films somewhere ... have you seen "Intacto"?

Watched Blade Trinity................

really like Blade 1 and 2, what a nasty suprise, its shite of the biggest order, had to stop watching in the end coz it was boring and could'nt stand listening to the dialogue a minute longer !

Party,Party and Human Traffic...

Both quality films set from the 80`s to 90`s

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

the manson family. the poorest film i've seen for quite a while. i know it was low budget but it was just laughable in places, which considering the subject matter pissing yourself as someone's getting butchered i wouldn't have thought [/hoped] was the desired response

 

[billy_bob]

Jean de Florette.

Always makes me want a pint...can't think why.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I watched Meet The Fockers. Bloody hilarious stuff.

 

[DJ Squelch]

The third part of this trilogy -"Naqoyqatsi "

 

[Leica]

Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 -- good, but I think Oscar Werner was a bad choice for the main character.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

what's up tiger lily. bizarre woody allen film where it's just been totally dubbed over, it was very funny i thought

 

[rowan]

Watched 2 this morning, just through from play.com

Swan Lake, absolutely beautiful, nothing more I can say



And Edward Scissorhands, awwwwww so sad

Rules of the Game (Fr, 1939)

A masterpiece of cinema, apparently. Made as Europe was on the brink of war, it offers a glimpse of how the decadence and narcissism of the wealthy classes helped pave the way for the rise of fascism. There is hardly a sympathetic character to be found among the film's numerous players, all of whom are struggling to better their position within the heirachies dictated by the strict social rules that bind them all together. Mostly set at the country retreat of a rich landowner entertaining his friends, where in one scene they partake in a 'hunt' and dispatch scores of wild animals with cool detachment. This behaviour finds a parallel later on in the film, where tragedy befalls one character who follows his heart rather than obeying 'the rules'. Even this does not prove enough to disturb the social order, however, and it becomes clear that 'the rules of the game' are more important than any of its individual players.

Last night ladies and gentlemen, I watched Sin City.

[walktome]

I don't want to hear any more about Sin City, this girl I know spent about three hours talking about it this morning.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Sahara, a couple of nights ago.

Good action flick.

Last night ladies and gentlemen, I watched Sin City.

Its as good as they are all saying....

Did you really think so? I was absolutely gutted, biggest pile of utter toss I've ever seen, I thought it really didn't translate well to screen, saying that, Bruce Willis was good, as was Mickey Rourke, Michael Madsen was fucking appalling, embarrassingly bad, Clive Owen was shit, Benicio Del Torres picked up his cheque, no one else stood out for me. There were some good moments but overall I was really disappointed.

However, Robots was fucking magic. What a great great film. Robin Williams is well on form.

 

[rowan]

I watched Beetlejuice today

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

dead man's shoes, again, it's just so good!

 

[tangerinedream]
