What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[jiggajagga]

Took a look at Cold Mountain
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159365/

I know its a bit old now but if you havent seen it take the time to watch.
Its a classic. Visually stunning, superbly acted ( especially Renée Zellweger as Ruby Thewes). A tear jerker with all the emotions in it to boot.
If you haven't seen it yet you are lucky, I envy you.
Brill 9/10

saw it last night. Zellweger steals it doesn't she? but her part is the only one with any real character


beauitifully shot but it drags a little

Belleville Rendez-Vous, a French animated film with almost no dialogue about a Granny who trains up her son to be a Tour De France cyclist, he then gets kidnapped and granny and dog track him down, funny and very watchable.

I don't know Rub. I felt that the characters were hidden intentionally so to effect the ongoing 'respectability' of the times. Very staid and formal. I thought the way that Rene opened up the heroine has the film progressed was fantastically well done.
You had the 'quality' of Ada and the 'roughness' of Teague and his henchmen. I thought the movie was a perfect balance actually. But everyone to their own eh!

sweet childhood memories...(i was about 6 when i saw it at the cinemas)

Visually stunning, superbly acted ( especially Renée Zellweger as Ruby Thewes).

Now i really have to see it.

A "superbly acted" performance by Rene Zellweger has to be seen to be believed, because in my experience she's been annoying and unconvincing in just about everything she's ever done.

I couldn't agree more Mhendo but believe me, in this she was superb.

She won an Oscar for ' Best Actress in a Supporting Role' for this and it was well deserved.

Thelma and Louise

 

[Shirl]

Strangers On A Train.

 

[jugularvein]

Lemony Snickett - A Series of Unfortunate Events

never read the books so couldn't be 'let down' by it. i thought it was going to be just for kids but enjoyed it and was very impressed with the directing... the sets and costumes effects were beautifully done. Brad Silberling was the director, i've never heard of him but will watch out for him.

 

[walktome]

Godsend... I thought it was horrible and made little sense, but that kid in it was creepy.

A Better tomorrow

 

[maya]

just finished O Brother Where Art Thou-
rather surprised to see an actor who i usually hate with a vengeance (George Clooney)
putting up a more than decent performance...(and looking hot, too!)
...and that music! ...woof. (maya approves)

see, i think Clooney's actually a good actor, at least in roles that demand he coast through more on charisma and presence than astonishing acting. i like him in a lot of stuff.*






* but mainly that little gingham frock

well he's ok, i guess- good actors come short in hollywood/us these days,
and he's one of the more-than-mediocre ones, it's just that he tends to float more on his personality rather than really acting and creeping into the roles imo, and i hate that...but fair play to him, he's not bad or anything, just...sometimes a bit annoying.

it struck me how he looked just like cut out of an old 1940's movie,
clark gable or something...and it seemed like he's practised that old-fashioned mumbling mock-southern dialect growl, too...
< melts >

(still hated his blasphemic molestation of solaris, though- )

 

[Bajie]

HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy film, and it was so crap I had to turn it off half way through.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Watched some of an abysmal Hugh Grant film called Two Weeks notice. Switched it off after about 25 minutes. Then watched some of Supersize Me, which I liked, but Mrs RD got bored and we went to bed. Will watch the rest today...

Have noticed that my housemate has left 'Supergirl' behind in the pack of DVDs in the front room. Am toying with the idea of watching it just to see how spectacularly bad it was.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

I finally bit the bullet because walktome convinced me a while back that "Garden State" deserved another chance....so i watched it again and ok i was wrong ...it was really good and quirky...i was pleased

Absolute disgrace of a film.

I watched The Woodsman, that paedo thing starring Kevin Bacon. Pretty good, bit of a trite ending though - suddenly he realises!!!

I'm glad you liked it better this time.

I liked George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou, that movie greatly amused me.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

episodes 1 and 2 or 'carnivale'. i'm liking it, it's odd and i'm not entirely sure what's going on

 

[Bob_the_lost]

I watched Layer Cake, good film if a bit slow at times but i definitly liked it.

how could u? I thought it was awful!

 

[purves grundy]

The Exorcist (Director's Cut)

Still shit twatting scary, even more so with those extra demonic shadows and images popping in. That famous deleted 'spider walk' scene was hilariously daft though

 

[jeff_leigh]

The Killer

 

[purves grundy]

'The Wounds', a film about Serbian wannabe gangsters Was alright

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Hotel Rwanda - very very good film.
