What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[starfish]

Sin City. Thought it was very good, quite gory & funny & a bit uncomfortable but still a good film.

 

[stdPikachu]

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

If you'd stuck it out for another five minutes, you would have seen an actor!

For those who don't know, OUATITW is quite possibly the most drawn out western ever made. Quite a good film, but incredibly long - if they'd left out all the fancy camerawork, scenic vistas, flashbacks, harmonica solos and footage of creaky windmills the film would be over in ten minutes

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

withnail & i, never loses it's charm, and a perfect companion for our daytime drinking

 

[walktome]

The United States of Lelan. I don't know why the teacher was so nice to Lelan in that movie, he was a murderer. That kind of annoyed me, but I liked it well enough.

actually, i've watched it all the way through 5-6 times and it's one of the best films ever made. like i say, we stopped watching it because we were exhausted.

Big trouble in little china

 

[Vencedor]

Cracker "To be a somebody", can't get better acting than Robbie Coltrane and Robert Carlyle

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I started watching Schindler's List. I've never seen it before. I've gotten about halfway through, then had to stop. I'll try to finish it tonight.

 

[Orang Utan]

I started watching Schindler's List.

It's not as good as ET.

 

[maya]

erm, some loooong and v. incomprehensible arthouse b&w film about hungarian smugglers or something- was too wasted then to remember now gotta love those "artsy" action scenes- new school cut-up galore...yay anti-dogma crew!
(-it was rubbish, though... )

 

[Pie 1]

School of Rock.

Oh dear.

 

[maya]

School of Rock.

Oh dear.

not exactly "spinal tap 2", then?

 

[shoddysolutions]

School of Rock.

Oh dear.

Thank fuck there's someone else out there who hates this steaming pile of horseshit. I was beginning to think I had no soul. It's a kid's film about adult music, it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

It's like having Slayer on The Muppet Show or something.

I'm still having trouble getting my head around the fact that Richard Linklater was at the helm too.

I also wondered how the genius that created 'Dazed and Confused' could stoop quite so low.

Let's cross our fingers and hope that 'A Scanner Darkly' will represent a return to form.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Donnie Darko - still haven't figured it out

 

[walktome]

Tiptoes. It was kind of bizarre.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

It's not as good as ET.

I finished Schindler's last night. It was ok, but the ending where he leaves the factory after the armistice, kind of sucks.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

The actual story of Schindler, is nothing less than amazing. It's lucky that a few people like that exist amongst the rest of us.

I love that film, youre right, it's the FEW people like that in the world that keeps it from completely self destructing.


And people like that are few and far between.


I watched the sex & the city complete dvd series BTW.

Cracker "To be a somebody", can't get better acting than Robbie Coltrane and Robert Carlyle

is that the episode where Carlyle plays the liverpool fan? traumatised hillsborough survivor IIRC

 

[butchersapron]

Stray Dog - one of the first Kurosawa films to recieve any attention in the west. Very much like a Japanese counterpart of The Third Man (made in the same year in fact), the hunt for the recovery of a stolen gun revealing the corruption, the squalor, prostitution etc and the terrible effects of the war on the japanese psyche. Higly recommended.

edit: and in answer to the above - yes, it is.

Big trouble in little china

[Juice Terry]

Family guy, the one where Brian becomes a police sniffer dog and ends up addicted to coke. Freakin' hilarious!

 

[souljacker]

Hostage, with Bruce Willis.

Fucking shit. Not even good action.

True, and where where the laughs? Even 1941 was funnier.
