What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

watched Wolf Creek last night. fuck me, very nasty

I know, and nothing even fucking happens, it's the waiting!


Me?

Confidence.

Verdict?

Feh.

It Happened Here - old film about what Britain would have been like had the nazi's won. Very interesting, and quite good. Colin Jordan is most unpleasant in it.

Sullivans Travels - from where Oh Brother Wher Art Thou got its name and a few idea's. Decent, but not earth-shattering.

Syriana - aah, the wonders of file sharing. Need to watch it again, there's far too much going on to get in one viewing (espoecially pissed, late at night), but it's fuckng excellant. Clooney deserves an oscar!

It's all gone Pete Tong - not a bad film for a sunday night

 

[Dubversion]

I think I've seen that advertised in my Moviemail catalogue and thought about buying it. Think it's the one anyway.

Are there shots of Nazis walking through the streets of London?

Time of the wolf. Directed by Michael Haneke who directed Hidden (Caché).
Deeply disturbing in the sense that I wished I hadn't watched it. Also, it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about human kind and wasn't good enough to bother seeing. Very disturbing nevertheless.

when you've finished watching it on repeat any chance i could borrow it??

i watched A Beautiful Mind on Saturday on telly. much as i hate Russell Crowe i had to commend him on his acting, his little mannerisms and facial expressions were supurb. i found the film a touch long but it was interesting and the scizophrenia was played out in a way which showed the both terrifying and comforting aspects of delusions.

and then i went and read the wiki entry for John Nash and discovered just how different the film was. ho humm

no worries

There are indeed.

It's all made with non-actors, people meant to be TB sufferers were played by TB sufferers, quite a few of the 'fascists' are real fascists (eg Jordan, there is a seven minute sequence cut from many versions where he and other nazi's are discussing the 'problem with jews' and the need for euthanasia for the disabled - went down well as you can probably imagine!)

In the beginning some of the acting and the sound is so poor that I considered not bothering, but it really picks up and is well worth sticking with.

I finally watched Aguirre: Wrath of God yesterday. Not quite as good as I'd hoped, but I think that was because I'd built it up in my mind as being the absolute best thing ever made. It was still v.good though.

 

[Belushi]

The first two episodes of the seocnd series of The Wire, new set up this season as its set up around the docks but excellent as always.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There are indeed.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was made with a very small budget, maybe that's why?

Watch it again - youy're wrong!

It is absolutely the best thing ever. Well, the best thing not in english that's a flim anyway.

It's quite amazing really - Brownlow developed the idea when he was 18, and started filming it then, taking 6 years. Kubrick gave him a bunch of spare film from 2001 (or one of them anyway) to help him finish it. The main actress does notably age during the film - but then, given what she goes through, she would!

Yeah, I think I will - it seems like the sort of thing that you can watch a few times.

Better than Hana Bi though?

Tonight I am watching Once Were Warriors - v.good so far, but I keep being interrupted.

 

[wiskey]

no worries

cheers - no hurry though, like pie eye i've never really seen it. too young i guess.

I've got that. Very sad

Have the follow-up as well "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted"? Not watched it yet though but it's meant to be just as good as Once Were Warriors

yup! HB....could well be top ten.....five even on a good day......but there's no Klaus Kinski....or monkeys....

 

[starfish]

Dune. Hadnt seen it for years. A fun way to spend a lazy sunday.

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

I Heart Huckabees. Great stuff, slightly demented comedy with the most accurate inner monologue I've seen that I can remember!

 

[jodal]

The Ice Harvest and Hustle and Flow and Ae Fond Kiss.

Lilya4ever.

Someone from here 'insisted' I watch it (ie raved about it).

Played two hours of Leonard Cohen afterwards to cheer myself up.

It was very good tho.

The Hulk - what a rotten piece of shit - there's not one thing to recommend about this film. The plot doesn't make any sense (esp the bit with Hulk's sense), the acting is atrocious (even from Nick Nolte), the script is clunky and the direction is woefull - I though maybe there might be something in it worth watching considering Lee and Shamus being involved but, alas, no. They should be embarrassed and ashamed.

Great film, I really love this kind of thing.
