Butthole Surfers - Blind Eye Sees All.

classic mid-80s Butthole live footage and interviews. Now who'd have thought lovefilm.com would have THAT? :D
 
I watched Code Unknown. It was good, though watching it twice was definitely beneficial.

That's enough Michael Haneke for me now, I think.
 
Stewart Lee - Standup Comedian.

Very very funny in that slowburn accumulative way of his. Really thought one of the Scottish audience was going to lamp him during the "William Wallace = paedophile" segment :)
 
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai...

I was really reluctant to watch it, but it turned out to be one of the best films I've seen in a while! :eek: Very funny!

The hero is a tramp who sleeps in pigeon shit! And the mafiosos are all pensioners! Great stuff!
 
Thelma and Louise... I loved it, I was laughing throughout most of it, my film class must have thought I was insane. I was seem to be the laughing weirdo whenever I watch a movie without a friend.
 
I watched Drugstore Cowboy thankyou Urban for recommending yet another movie i may never have come accross. Awesome quality movie loved it, how fit is Matt Dillon Yes purleease !

Great story spot on even down to the gurning :D
 
A History Of Violence,I was disappointed with this having seen some favourable reviews,i was expecting something out of the ordinary,sadly the much lauded themes explored in the movie have been done with much greater elan by Leonne and Pekinpah in Once upon a time in America and Straw Dogs Respectively.

The Final Act rapidly descends into a bond style farce which would not have seemed entierly out of place in a mike myers spoof.

I give it a four (brothers) out of ten
 
Memoirs of a Geisha - enjoyed it but got myself distracted playing the old "Where have i seen him before? Where have i seen her before?" game :)
 
Watched the newest Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Pretty darn surreal and quite a diversion from the book in its feel. Couldn't help comparing Depp with Gene Wilder whose performance is still legendary. I think this new version is more for kids though, I'm sure the old one had some good aside jokes and of course Gene Wilder will for me be Willy Wonker.


"The suspense is terrible, I hope it lasts" :D

"Two, well I can't work out 2 can I?"

I hope you meant to say Willy Wonka :oops:
 
Capote. Not a bad story but Phillip Seymour Hoffman's "impersonation" of Capote grated on my nerves. Then again, it's not his fault that the bloke spoke so irritatingly.

:p
 
Kekexili - Mountain Patrol.

Stunning film, true story about a bunch of amateur gamekeepers fighting poachers to save the Tibetan Antelope from extinction.
 
When the Wind Blows - Classic animation and I didn't cry for once!

Anyone know if the BBC film Threads was based on this - lots of similarities.
 
The Business ~ Utter Tosh! Cockney gangsters in Spain in the 80's. All Ellese tracksuits and big mouths !!

Looks interesting, I'm on a roll discovering Asian cinema gems atm, what with Mongkok and Kekexili, mind you, I just couldn't get into Mr Vengeance.


One I'm waiting for which looks like it might be quite funny is Welcome to Dongmakgol. Available on Amazon.com but not Amazon.co.uk. Waiting for price to go down a bit :oops:


This looks interesting as well

Watched R Point a couple of weeks ago, fairly average but then ghost stories are not really my thing. Strange to see Koreans fighting with the Americans in Vietnam, I never realised that they did. Can you imagine the friendly fire casualities what with the "kill all gooks mentality" :eek:

Not really into ghost stories myself and it's not top of my list. Want Welcome to Dongmakgol first.

This looks quite interesting as well
