'Dark Water' - the original version. Taped it off Film Four the night before.
Quite creepy but very predictable. Not as good as 'Ring' but pisses all over the teen shite that the Americans are churning out.

Well we agree on Ghost World
The women in Sideways were cardboard characters, apart from that one scene where The 'Maya' character waxes lyrical about wine. There's no way such a luscious character *drool* would have fallen for Giametti's miserable, self-loathing, alcoholic wine geek.
(I haven't actually seen 'Road trip' btw)

Suitably creepy french "chainsaw massacre"-esque horror flick.
Some good killings.
Terrible twist at the end though.

Korean film called Shiri - shit tbh. And the first two parts of Takashi Miike's TV mini-series, MPD-Pycho. Makes Twin Peaks look like Emmerdale Farm.
as part of the continuing Loughborough Junction Film Festival, we watched Last Night.
fucking fantastic Canadian movie about people spending their last 12 hours before the world is destroyed, concentrating on the human relationships rather than the whys and wherefores of said destruction.
"Only connect", innit?

yeh, i was amazed it isn't better known. i love the fact that the end of the world is just seen as a certainty, a fait (soon to be ) accompli, so the film can get on with the important stuff. Fantastic cameo (or more.. ) from David Cronenberg and the first film i saw Sandra (Sideways) Oh in...
excellent stuff

Yeah, it's just like: '-Okay, so the world's fucked, end of. Now, what do I want to do with the rest of my life? When it really comes down to it, what's important to me?'
All about accepting our mortality, blah, blah, blah, I guess...

Oh yeah, I hadn't realised that was her!
(Idle gossip: -Isn't she in a relationship with Sideways' director?)

well, it must've technically been "last night" in a way, since we finished watching before midnight:
*** Children of The Damned, which was a bit dull and got very tedious,
but still lightyears better than the disastrously bad film-adaption of The Triffids.

City of Lost Souls - the worst Miike movie i've yet seen and with an absolutely terrible performance by the lead actor.

Great film from 1981, starring Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, and Fred Ward. A small squad of National Guard soldiers are on exercises in the Louisiana bayous, and their antics draw the ire of the local Cajuns. The resulting clash makes for an excellent suspense film and a great psychological thriller.
While the film was made in 1981, it is set in 1973, and the undertones of Vietnam are obvious in the movie.
Fantastic, eerie score by Ry Cooder.
Highly recommended.
