The wife and I watched Trainspotting last night, got the DVD for my birthday a few weeks ago, haven't seen it for a few years. It is still excellent.
 
had a couple of mates round last night for Beer, Joints and Pringles

Big trouble in Little China
Lost Boys
American Werewolf in London

now thats a saturday night worth staying in for :cool:
 
Mystic River was a pile of poop. That bit when Penn looks up and goes "noooooooooooooo!! made me crack up!

Anyway, last nights viewing for me was the last half as the excellent Finding Nemo! I love that film, simply one of the most beautiful animation committed to film.:)
 
hotel rwanda - harrowing as hell, intense, but well delivered.

don't know if i could watch it again. but im glad i saw it.

Well, if it takes you two nights to get through Finding Nemo, i can understand why Mystic River might be a bit of a stretch for you. :)
 
just watched terminator 3, first dvd i've watched in ages, bought it about a year ago off e-bay, never got around to watching it until now...quite enjoyed it really...
 
finally got round to watching the dvd I rented from tesco about a month ago, vera drake... very good too.

don't often watch dvd's, but am looking forward to whatever they send me next - it might be hotel rwanda or city of god.
 
The Loughborough Junction Film Festival got off to a cracking start on Saturday and in one day we watched

Bonnie & Clyde. (absolutely flawless)
Napoleon Dynamite (even better the 2nd time around)
Hellboy (lots of fun, pisses all over Batman Begins, for example)
Dead Man's Shoes (a brilliant film, but still probably the bleakest thing i've ever ever seen. just left me feeling desolate).
House Of Flying Daggers (only lasted 30 minutes, tiredness and drunkeness took over).

Unfortunately, a packed Sunday programme (mooted to have included Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, Criminal, Badlands and The Last Picture Show) was scrapped when the organisers went and got pissed in Greenwich instead.
 
tatie danielle - it was pretty odd, but hilarious.
the wicker man - to try & conquer my fears. it seemed to work as no nightmares last night.

tonight: elephant.
 
and on saturday we saw Donnie Darko in the park..

movie wasn't as good as i remember it but it was interesting to have a live performance of the soundtrack first and then match up the bits of music we'd heard with the scenes.. was rarely as expected.

also had the score composer Michael Andrew singing that song.. which was brave of him :)

i watched that over about 3 days :eek:

it was stupid, but i still kinda liked it
probably the best way. the plot holes stick out rather more, but it sure is fast fun!
 
Secretary. missed this at the pictures and had heard conflicting reviews. i saw it for sale £5.99 (Bargain!).

I thought it was really good.....shame James Spader makes me feel ill just looking at him though. :-\

but his cold clammy quality is what makes him so watchable :)
 
i know. i agree. no one else would have played that part as well (probably)

it's wierd when someone's looks actually make you feel ill though isn't it? :confused: it's not as if he's ugly or anything....just shudder-inducing.

edit: actually, it obviously isn't about his features as such. he'sfairly ordinary looking - so it's probably more to do with that cold clammy quality as you say Dub...

I watched Van Helsing- absolute shite, hysterically bad :eek: :D

Really fancy that one, the main actor is good in X-Men, enjoyed both 1+2. Should not waste my time then?

Saw Consitine? with K.Reeves, Really good watched it 3 times. Think their is a directors cut comming out soon. Big fish is a nice little film ,feel good and all that.

If you want a good scare Hellraiser or am I a big wooz.

Another really bad one is Electrica. waste of dvd space.
 
THX 1138

George Lucas's UCLA film school project was later expanded into this full-length feature that mixes elements of 1984, Brave New World, Farenheit 451, 2001, etc to make some kind of statement about consumerism and state control, I think ... In Lucas's future dystopia people are willingly oppressed by a daily cocktail of drugs and religion and sexual contact is forbidden. A very European film - apart from the cyborg LA cops, one of whom is played by the son of 'Tarzan' (Johnny Weismuller) :cool:

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Is this what passes for comedy these days? How much did this pile of bilge cost to make? How could Willem Dafoe stoop so low - and how did he get so short? What the fuck???? The film meanders all over the place and only really comes to life when they get boarded by pirates. Kind of reminds me of a Tom Robbins novel, but don't ask me which one.

:confused:
