What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

2001 a space odysey

wicked movie, seen it dozens of times still can't get the end bit though

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Clerks (just picked up the 10th anniversary edition for a tenner at Virgin!) and Xmen 2. Both excellent movies.

Any different to the original?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

'Ray,' the Ray Charles biopic. Really enjoyed it.

Any different to the original?

probably a fancy box and few more extras

I haven't read the book, but I quite liked this film. A bit disturbing though...

That's exactly how the author intended it.

If you get a chance, i highly recommend the book. I goes into a whole bunch of detail that they just couldn't fit into the movie, and actually helps make sense of some of the stuff in the film.

For example (spoiler warning):

Do you remember that the handmaid was surprised when Robert Duvall's character pulled out a game of Scrabble? Well, something that wasn't explicitly mentioned in the movie was that none of the handmaids (or women in general, if i remember correctly) were allowed to learn how to read. That's also why their shopping token had pictures, not words, on them.

Great film. Worth watching just for the Nothing Ever Happens On Mars and Stool Boom tunes.

I loved the scene when the town leaders are trying to persuade Corky to return to the production after his walkout. The look on his face as they basically the whole state is depending on his talent is priceless.

 

[Cadmus]

'Birth' with Nicole Kidman and Lauren Bacall.

I think he isn't S. btw.

Personally I think that's because it's rather sloppily done. Read the book (that was written in tandem) and you will understand everything quite clearly.

IMO like most of Kubrics stuff this is an extremely overrated film.

 

[souljacker]

Last night I watched 'Terminal' with Tom Hanks. What an utterly fucking stupid film. Zeta Jones Douglas is a honey though.

 

[jodal]

A Cock and Bull Story... very very funny.

 

[Phenol]

'Crash' - absolutely fantastic, itelligent, engrossing. See it!

 

[andy2002]

Land Of The Dead – least interesting of Romero's zombie films and not a patch on either 28 Days Later or the Dawn Of The Dead remake. Not bad though...

 

[oneflewover]

McVicar, why the need for Roger Daltry i'm not sure. Adam faith is slightly better. Worth watching for all the 70's cars!

 

[shoddysolutions]

walkabout (nic roeg)

Great film IMO, with an ending that makes you

Why isn't 'Performance' available on DVD?

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

wicked movie, seen it dozens of times still can't get the end bit though

thank god for that, wasn't sure if it was my inability to sit still that'd made me miss something real important/explaining

 

[walktome]

The 4th Harry Potter movie. I read the book when it came out but the movie confused me so much. It just didn't flow very well.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Fucking Sapphire and steel again, I've got fifteen shitting hours of this crap to wade though. Not half as amazing and well thought out as I remember (hey I was only eight).

 

[Orang Utan]

Garden State

Customers who bought this title also bought:
Coldplay
Dido
Zero 7

You get the picture. Utterly banal toss.

 

[Orang Utan]

The Life Aquatic - I wanted to like this but stunning production design and quirky but captivating soundtrack are not enough to make a satisfying film. Disappointing.


Downfall - excellent - made me have another go at Beevor's mighty tome. The Goebells family subplot is horribly chilling.

i didn't mind it, in a sweet sickly way. but as soon as it was over, i forgot it.

 

[CharlieAddict]

The Descent - not the girlie flick I expected.

 

[shoddysolutions]

Mon Oncle

A gentle comedy poking fun at modernity. Jacques Tati plays the uncle of the title, whose nephew lives in an ultra-modern house in which everything is electronically controlled. Lots of nicely composed visual comedy in Tati's gentle signature style, if you like that sort of thing.

Isn't it the rebirth of man?

That film used to give me the fear. I picked up a copy when I was last in France and could not believe that it was in fact in 'French'! So that means that in the UK they just had never bothered dubbing it, instead they just made rhubarb rhubarb noises over everything. I had no idea it had dialogue!!

Still gives me the frickin' fear!

That reminds me of a French film I once saw called My Uncle

er... *shuffles feet and hope sir asks someone else in the class*

 

[wiskey]

Plunkett and Mcclaine. which was as good as i remember it being.

 

[MR G]

Peter Jackson's 'Bad Taste'. There was a time when I was more into gore. And my friend couldn't watch it anymore after dinner. So we stopped it. Will carry on watching it on my own though
