Yeah, you're right. You put that film on and it's a fair bet you'll have krs knocking at your door within five minutes...

So, as you say, why ruin your evening?

Alien is better - I was a bit disappointed by Aliens to honest - seemed to descend into a standard action film for most of its duration.

I agree.. In fact I prefer Alien 3 to Aliens.

I often get the same way whenever the urge to listen to Joy Division hits me...

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

spongebob the movie. damn disk was playing up at the end but this was good anyway, and any film with a cameo from david hasslehoff as himself has to be worth seeing!

'Who are you?'

I'm David Hasslehoff

'YAYYYYY!'

I still haven't seen it all the way through yet tho :eyeroll:

Oh yeah, and last night's DVD was Disc's 1,2 & 3 of Dark Angel Season 1.

Jessica Alba is the first sleb in a LONG time I'd consider stalking. She is SOOOO cute. And muh better as a brunette, altho allegedly since going blonde she's landed loads more film work...go figure...

 

[jeff_leigh]

House of the flying daggers
... was expecting another crouching tiger hidden dragon quite disapointed really

 

[Jo/Joe]

she is seriously cute kyser..look at those lips

ahem..last night I watched the Bergman classic The Seventh Seal, brilliant brialliant brilliant study of death and faith.

 

[STFC]

Assault on Precinct 13 (the original, not the remake). Very disappointed indeed.

 

[maldwyn]

Merchant of Venice (2004 Pachino/Irons) gorgeous scenery, gorgeous costumes, gorgeous actors, smelly looking canal’s.

 

[LDR]

I watched Whale Rider last night. I had been putting it off for a while despite many of my friends that had seen it telling me how good it was. I expected it to be predictable and over sentimental. However, the character development was excellent and it brought a lump to my throat to see a young girl’s unconditional love for her bigoted grandfather. I found it extremely moving and highly recommend it.

I’ve just right this minute finished watching Sin City. If I were fourteen agin, I would have loved this movie. As it is, I only just liked it a wee bit. It was like just reading a comic book which I suspect was the point. It had great cinematography and an interesting story but still a movie aimed at teenager boys or at least adults who think like teenage boys IMHO.

I preferred Whale Rider to be honest. Is this a sign I am getting old?

 

[Orang Utan]

Assault on Precinct 13 (the original, not the remake). Very disappointed indeed.

One of the tensest films I've ever seen - fucking great soundtrack too

 

[maya]

ah, dark angel had some quality episodes, i always like the ones were her kitty powers made her on heat!

just finished watching tin drum, it was odd, i'm not sure what i think

 

[jeff_leigh]

Catch me if you can - well good really enjoyed it

 

[Zimri]

Full Metal Jacket

"I didn't know they stacked shit that high!"

 

[belboid]

Before Sunrise.

oh, had it only been the summer solstice...

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Episode 10, Season 5, the Sopranos.

At least I think it was ten. It was kind of boring, all a bunch of dreams that Tony was having. But at the beginning, his girlfriend sets herself on fire as she makes some coffee, post-tryst.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

the notebook (again)

howwwwwwwwww i wept!!


i always do though

 

[jeff_leigh]

A Bullet in the Head - classic john woo stuff

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

'DJ' - it came free with DJ magazine a while back and I finally got round to watching it. It's just a load of, er, DJs testing out Technics decks and stuff for 20-odd minutes...and that's it.

 

[butchersapron]

The Spirit of the Beehive, Victor Erice - a very good but very slow and heavily symbolic film about the effects of the Spanish revolution/civil war on a group of adults and then onto their children. I think Lynne Ramsay must have seen it a few thousand times before making Ratcatcher....

 

[Dubversion]

we managed the first 25 minutes or so of Once Upon A Time In The West before collapsing

 

[Juice Terry]

Casshern

Anime with real people, sort of Akira meets 1984 meets Terminator meets Frankenstein, this is what cgi is good for, premier league eye candy all the way through, very good indeed.

 

[shoddysolutions]

Solas (Alone) Spain 1999

Mike Leigh fans would be on familiar ground watching this downbeat and sometimes glum story. Its focus is the fractured relationship between an boozy 35 year old single woman at the end of her tether and her stoic mother, both victims of a domineering and abusive father/husband.

While their initial relationship is frosty, mother and daughter slowly develop more of a bond as the film progresses through their shared exerience but also through encounters with a variety of other lost souls, most notably an elderly neighbour.

A very moving story which effectively conveys some of the hardships and emotional pain faced by women while avoiding unnecessary stereotyping or sentimentality.
