What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[boing!]

Watched Old Boy last night. Probably not the best thing to watch when recovering from the previous nights Unsound activities but it was a great film all the same.

Check out sympathy for Mr vengence also by park chan wook, it's even better.

Yeah, I've had that on my shelf since the first week in Jan but have not had time to watch it. I've got a backlog of films that Mrs Suplex cannot even bare to be in the same room as.

'the neighbour No. Thirteen' which I mentioned above has been in waiting since last year. Actualy come to think of it kim ki duks 'the isle' has been on the shelf since November.

 

[andy2002]

Hill Street Blues Series 1 Episodes 1-3. I'd forgotten just how damn good this is and was also surprised at the amount of humour in it. A long way from the bleak cop drama I remember (maybe that all came later with the likes of NYPD Blue?).

 

[souljacker]

I watched 'The Assasination of Richard Nixon'. It was good, but I'd been on the beer all afternoon so I wanted someting a bit more fast paced.

Sean Penn is fucking good though.

 

[Flashman]

had a "crap vampire films" night:

first The Fearless Vampire Hunters (by Roman Polanski)
..which was dreadful,
(

One of my childhood favourites that (although it was called Dance of the Vampires on telly back then) and I still think it's funny now.

Same here. It's such an atmospheric and strange film. Maybe you'll have to have seen it as a kid to really appreciate it, but it's my all time favourite vampire film. Must have watched it about 15 times by now.

Maybe you're right. Or maybe it's shit and we're cunts?

I bought it from HMV in Japan, genuine R2. I go over a couple of times a year so I always grab a few DVDs that take my fancy while I'm there.

I don't do downloads or fakes unless I really really really have to (not available etc).

 

[Yetman]

War of the Worlds, not too bad for light entertainment, shit plot towards the end.

Hostel.....starts off good, gets worse til it falls apart miserably

Hostel.....starts off good, gets worse til it falls apart miserably

Noooo, don't say that, I really want to like this one.

 

[Juice Terry]

The Assassination of President Nixon - one for the Bleakest films thread.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Bit of the new battlestar galactica tv series. A friend said it was amazing, it's pretty good so far but I think it needs to be a lot better to really be 'amazing'. Wouldn't mind seeing more of easy on the eye cylon sleeper 'boomer' yummy. My mate tells me there is a sceane coming up where there are thousands of naked boomers in one room. rrrrrooww, I would be there telling the boomers what to do and they would all be saying 'by your command'.

Also watched a couple of stories from the US sin city extended disk. Nice looking pack.

 

[foo]

Quills - the film about the Marquis de Sade. it was ok, interesting & funny in bits. lovey cinematography though.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes that one is a bit harsh with the paddleing pool and all.

Makes me want to watch them all again but I have a huge back log of films to watch now.

Spring summer winter fall
the isle
samamritan girl
sympathy for lady vengence

All Korean, whats all that about?

Oh wait no I also have 'neighbour number 13' to watch, that's Japanese.

All asian? what's that about?

Oh ,and 'sin city'

You must watch Spring, Summer.... it's beautiful.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

You must watch Spring, Summer.... it's beautiful.

Shit, I still have not got round to watching that. I wanna watch lady vengence first.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

Season 4 of 24, episodes 13-16, was so tempted to crack onto episode 17 after that ending of 16!!

 

[jugularvein]

ray - fucking amazing

 

[Reno]

Tombs of the Blind Dead, Spanish horror film from the 70's. Silly but quite atmospheric.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Me, You and Everyone we know. Brilliant stuff. Quite moving.

Probably my favourite film of last year and I now have a bit of a crush on Miranda July.

 

[electrogirl]

A Life Less Ordinary

Seen it before, but I swear this is one of the most underrated films ever. It got bad reviews, and it does have its flaws but I still think it's a nice twist on the romantic comedy, and is genuinely funny and heartwarming.

But maybe I'm just a sappy girl.

 

[Cloud]

Berlin (and fuckin fab it was too)

 

[Juice Terry]

Punch Drunk Love, superb and its got the lovely chloe from 24 in it as well

 

[maya]

Alejandro Jodorowsky- El Topo

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

50 First Dates - girl (Drew Barrymore) loses her short term memory. Guy (Adam Sandler - who I normally can't stand) falls in love and has to start afresh with her every day due to her memory loss.

Pretty schmultzy crap but funny in places


Have Clean Slate, Finding Nemo, Save the Green Planet lined up for the weekend (assuming they arrive)

Have Clean Slate, Finding Nemo, Save the Green Planet lined up for the weekend (assuming they arrive)

Nemo is ok and save the green planet is good but a little too long.

Saved you a weekend, go out and get pissed.
