What film are you currently watching???

[Lustmord666]

Today I'm in the mood for some Cronenburg, Crash :D :) :D

[uksatanica666]

My all time fave film has to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show but I've recently seen My Little Eye at the cinema which was really good, and bought Requiem For A Dream which is my fave film of the moment. only watched it once but have to watch it again soon! :twisted:

[redSpikes]

oooh... crash. mmmm.

if you liked that, you should read the atrocity exhibition, also by JG Ballard. The book Crash was inspired by one of the tamer chapters... :twisted:

[DjGloomy]

:twisted:
I saw Resident Evil - worth seeing if ya´ dig sci-fi, but not as divine as his previous movie Event Horizon!
Anybody know when the new Croonenberg movie "Spider" is hitting the cinema?

Cold greetings from a viking
Dj Gloomy (Copenhagen)

p.s. Any dj´s in this forum?

[Lustmord666]

oooh... crash. mmmm.

I think I read that some time ago.
But for confirmation, I should have a look at my bookshelf. But the title rings a bell :) :D :)

[RingWurm]

Just watched Pollack. Going to pop in an Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress soon.

[Rivetmike]

Next film I will be watching will be Mullholland Drive but only when I get a bit of time as I hear it's quite long.

Rivetmike

[Lustmord666]

It's only a bit more than 2 hours. By the way, the David Lynch Site (http://www.davidlynch.com) is very interesting http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/cool/cool014.gif http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/grinser/grinser019.gif http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/cool/cool014.gif

Today I'm gonna see The Lord of the rings - The two towers http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/aktion/aktion078.gifhttp://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/aktion/aktion078.gifhttp://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/aktion/aktion078.gif

Blow Up.

I saw it once and want to see it again, but finding a copy of it has been nearly impossible.

I may have to rent it....and not return it.

Shhhhhh.

[redSpikes]

just watched minority report, for the first time.

much better than i had anticiplated and further proof of the (slightly twisted) genius of Phillip K. Dick, even if it wasn't as good as Bladerunner.

[evilbitch]

my favourite movies of all time are
1 Pi
2 Hedwig and the angry inch
3 gia

the movie i watched last night was being john malcovich and it was excellent and im watching good will hunting tonight

would like to see mulholland drive
im obsessed with art movies...find them very intresting
:twisted:

[Lustmord666]

Clockwork Orange :D :roll: :D

[faticeira]

Saw Dare Devil and don't recommend it. Wait to rent it.

[Darkstone]

Just watched Reign of Fire for the 5th time.....by far the best dragons on screen since Dragon Slayer, tho the script could've used some help.....just too bad Secret Lab(the fx house that created and animated the dragons) was shut down right afterward....

[7thStranger]

Just saw Memento ..... excellent film.. why it is so overlooked i'll never understand.
I'll definitely want to see it again... hmmm.... let me just make a note of that before i forget :wink:

[redSpikes]

It is a great film, i'll give you that.

Maybe its overlooked since those people in the establishment didn't get it: its not that hard to understand, but it does do strange things to your head. As we all know the word unconventional tends to be interchangeable with overlooked...

But take heart... look where it is in the top rated movies of all time (http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films) at IMDb.

[bloodredleather]

recently watched Ed Wood which was a gem of a movie.. johnny depp was excellent but the guy playing Bella Lugosi stole the show.. a modern black&white classic.
anyone seen stephen kings new Dreamcatcher movie yet?

[Taberah]

I like a wide variety of films. A list might do it:

Clockwork Orange
Pride & Prejudice *cringe* SOOOO not goth, baby.
Gia (great film, LOVE Angelina in everything she does... the lesbian action is top class too)
Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon (in order of decline. Red Dragon doesn't QUITE follow the book, so it loses popularity points)
The Last Unicorn (animated, but nonetheless)
I would write The Crow but... :?
Schindler's List, Conspiracy, anything that tells of WWII

That reminds me- a GREAT book: House Of Dolls. I can't quite recall the author's name as it is not actually given. Instead, it is Ka-Tzetnik 899 something, basically the number they were branded with in a ghetto in Warsaw, Poland. The author recounts the experiences of a 14-year-old Jewish girl, Daniella Preleshnik, in the ghetto AND in a brothel set up for the German armed forces. READ IT. Anyway, I'm all done now.

[Malekith]

Few of my favourites.......

Pulp Fiction- Brilliantly made and put together and one of the best casts in a film ever.

Rosemary's Baby- Occult horror by Roman Polanski.

Labyrinth- One of my favourites, great kids fantasy film.

The Lost Boys- Classis vampire flic.

[kelx]

The best films i have seen this year are:

Bad Boy Bubby - really dark film, truly great! :)

Ghost Dog, Way of the Samurai

And.......

Matrix Reloaded.

[7thStranger]

Agreed... Bad Boy Bubby is an absolutely amazing film, i saw it on the telly few years ago and was cracking up with laughter not to mention a little taken aback by it's crazy plot and situations of Bubby both at home with his mad mother and in the real world.
Annoying thing is i can't get hold of a copy of this film anywhere, it doesn't seem to be available at any shops, and has still not yet been repeated on t.v.... :( damn.. i wish i recorded it when i had the chance, but who could have imagined what this film would be like?
Watch this film at all costs... it's a classic of MAD proportions :wink:

[Rivetmike]

Oi 7th,You can still get but only on VHS I'm afraid no DVD release is yet scheduled.It would cost about a tenner and we have loads in stock at work.

Rivetmike

[7thStranger]

Thx Rivetmike 8) that's great news, although a shame it's not coming out yet on DVD.
Only problem is my sodding VCR knackered itself out a while ago.. and i have not yet had the chance to replace it. But now it seems i'll have to if i want to see this gem of a film again :)
So where is this shop hiding? :wink:

Yeah it rocks! And you know what else made me laugh? it was sponsored by the Australian tourist board. :lol:

Can you think of a worse advert for Australians.....

[Skylizard]

Most bizarre, fucked up film i've seen lately, Happiness of the Katakuris (Asia extreme film) it's like Little shop of horrors meets, Sound of music.

[bezerkangel]

Just watched Ichi the killer. From the guy who brought us Audition and Battle Royale. Although our version has around ten minutes cut, there is still enough violence, blood and gore to keep you happy. A fantastic film, and Kakihara has to be the best character :D

[Lustmord666]

*gg* Miiike seems to be hip 8) :roll: 8)

I 've just seen battle royale & the audition. Nice romantice movies :twisted: 8) :twisted:

[Skylizard]

i'm on the hunt for the uncut version of Itchi the killer and have been for a while now. Bloody British Film standers have to screw everyting up. He has a Battle Royale 2 out at the moment as well, where the kids are teenagers so that should also be good. Some of Mikes other films are been shown on Sky at the Moment, Dead or alive 1 & 2...Cool

[Lustmord666]

As I can see the same problems everywhere. In Germany you don't find a lot of distributors for that kind of movies. And if they release it, they cut....
Some distribute the movies only as VCD's and even there seem to be different versions out :roll: :? :roll:

PowerPuff Girls movie, jus saw, is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
must watch

[Lustmord666]

Perdita Durango ( uncut) 8) :D 8)

[kelx]

For anyone interested the original Japanese version of 'The Ring' is showing on channel 4 on thursday night.

This is a great film and in my opinion well worth a watch. 8O

[SP]

Nice one Kelx ... sounds like a must!!

:mrgreen:

[Rivetmike]

Perdita Durango ( uncut) 8) :D 8)

Do you know what is missing from the cut version?

Rivetmike

[Lustmord666]

As far as I know the DVD that was released in Germany was the only uncut version. That's what they claimed on some webpages that compared all released versions.

Cuts were made at the rape scene. Another cut I can think for the UK is violence against nipples in the bank. And the scene in the dessert where one guy is run over by a truck. ( but I don't know for sure, since I haven't seen a cut version)

By the way his film " El dia de la Bestia" is excellent as well 8) :) 8)

[Rivetmike]

Cheers fella :) and thanks for the recommendation.

Actually, Tarantino > everything. Tarantino is GOD. And Uma Thurman is hot. Really, really hot.

[lipstick_trash]

release date for battle royale 2 is apparently march 2004.... 8O

is that the remake of batttle royale? with all due respect to hollywood, i have a feeling its going to suck. battle royale isnt a hugely dialogue film obviously, but the thought of horny teenage american dialogue kills me. i cant imagine theyl pull it off well. why remake something when the original kicked arse?

or of course, u cud be talking about a sequel. in which case il shut up and go sit in the corner :roll:

[SeanH]

I assume they mean the sequel, since remakes are usually simply given the same name rather than having a number added. Didn't know there was to be a remake. The sequel does indeed look very good, though I've only seen the trailer in Japanese (of which I speak not a word).

[Skylizard]

Saw The Last Samuari a couple of days back and although it was rather long was still very good, worth a watch.

[Rivetmike]

Apart from the fact that the samurai is playing my a white American bloke.....????

Rivetmike

[fad]

Shut up and go find a corner miss 'Lipstick'....they're talking about the proper sequel...made by the original director's son, or something, I believe...coz the original director went and died before he could get 'round to it.

Sorry, back on topic, I'm not 'watching' it right now, but I'd LIKE to be watching the climactic battle from 'Return of the King'....I hate to use the term, but it was fucking awesome!!!
Anyone ,who hasn't seen it and can stomach about an hour of close-ups of Hobits with wet eyes is missing out on something a bit special, film-wise.

[lipstick_trash]

screw LOTR, i just watch Narnia; the lion the witch and the wardrobe. the only true adventure film! i havent laughed so hard in a while, i swear it was good quality when i was a little 'un, but... oh god. its just great. hahahahaa. love it.

Watched the extended version of 2towers last night and if you have read the book this is a definite must, the cut scenes put in are right in line with the book which is really cool, loads better than just the original.

[Jessevision]

A good movie to hire out is '25 Hour', Edward Norton as lead.
This is probably one of my most recent favorites, an excellent script with very powerful diologue.

[Voodoobutter]

Recently saw 'Buffalo 66' which I thought was excellent, and half of 'The Brood' but the tape was knackered... :(

[Skylizard]

Had to watch lovely Kate in Underworld again, she is gorgeous.....

[alicethegoon]

"One In The Pink, One In The Stink"

Classic stuff.

Still, it keeps me off the streets.

[Rivetmike]

Out of all the films I have seen recently one I'd recommend is Secretary.

James Spader stars as a lawyer who takes on a new secretary who is straight out of the loony bin (but is she really mad....or just a bit different).

Well things spice up quite a bit for the both of them at work as this develops into quite an unconventional lovestory.

A film about fetishes done in an adult manner (manages to not snigger behind it's hand at the characters),is really sexy (well I think so) with no nudity and darkly comic.

Go watch

Recently picked up Battle Royal (special edition) and watched it for the first time...what a fantastic film! :)
Absolute quality i tells ya!

Found the sequel; Battle Royal II - Survival Program on dvd from Japan, so that's winging its way to me now!

[denial_os]

saw tim burton's new film, 'Big Fish' on the weekend.
was so very very good. would recommend to everyone. its heartwarming without being annoying or corny, and is definitely up there with the nightmare before christmas and edward scissorhands. see it...

[Skylizard]

Infernal Affairs, lets wait for our american friends to bring out the remake and fuck it up totally. Remake due out i think the end of the year.

[BlackAria]

ok, heres a short list of recent highlights
-monsterman -> ultracheesy and ultraviolent american horror-comedy, great stuff
-lost in translation -> slow, but very effective.. bill murray rocks!
-dirty pretty things -> what? a love story set against a backdrop of illegal organ-traficing in the seedy underworld of london? strangely uplifting
-rules of attraction -> the dark side of american pie, american teens killing and raping themselves and puking on each other and taking drugs.. dreams are made of this shit. watch it!
-bowling for columbine -> any movie that takes a complete piss out of americans scores in my book.
-thirteen -> more dysfunctional american teens
-kite -> great anime, check out the velvet acid christ samples
-requiem for a dream -> can't leave this one out of any top movie list even tho seen it like a 100 times.
-kung pow -> 'my finger points'.. do not take hallucogens and watch this movie, you'll be scarred for life

this could go on 4 a while, so i think i'll stop now...

My favourite episode is when they enter Robotwars. Totally over the top.

Nah! It's gotta be the one when the bicycle courier fella comes round on a come down and the kettle,toaster,phone and other household objects all conspire to make a "choon".

Rivetmike

Hehe, that episode was brilliant :)

[Skylizard]

Or the last episode from season 2 where Tires ( the bike courier) is in the middle of the road pushing the button on the traffic lights so pedestrians could cross the road, then going mad dancing to the sound of the green Walk signal.....brilliant.

[xyberpix]

The cover makes it look like a cheap porn film, but the film is well worth a watch. Would rate as one of my all time favs.

The Evil Cult - Jet Li film that made no sense whatsoever.

Hehe, tis a top film :) The only thing I found disappointing was that it finished just as Jackie becomes the so called Drunken Master...I guess that's what the sequel's for tho!


The Evil Cult - Jet Li film that made no sense whatsoever.
I've got this but haven't watched it yet...

I recommend checking out Armor of God (another Jackie Chan film, the one where he almost killed himself no less) and Five Venoms, a quality Shaw Brothers movie ;)

True, and while I agree that they're all fantastic to watch, only Armor of God has the outtake where a stunt goes drastically wrong & Jackie falls quite a great distance, through a load of branches and busts up his neck & back, almost ending his career & his life :(

have only just recently seen Blue Velvet,its a must see,david lynch,is an absolute genius!

[Rose]

David Lynch is amazing.. I recently saw Wild at Heart but there was a problem with the DVD and so I don't know how it ended. :evil:

Mulholland Drive is another amazing film, need to watch it a few times though to understand it, and the list of things to look out for kinda helps.

Eraserhead is really really weird, but worth watching....

[Blink]

I just watched Bubble Boy. with Jake Gylenthall (however you spell it)

I'm not even going to try & explain what this film was about. All you need to know is if you like action and crazy Japanese sylised action at that, you'll love it. It looked like it could've been a Capcom game thru a lot of the film, which was no bad thing. The action sequences were fantastc with top fighting & destruction, and the CG was really quite amazing too.
Story-wise, well, I don't think there was a single person in the cinema that understood it! :lol: Buddhist_Insect & I decided it's one to watch when you're very "unsober" and make up your own plot tbh.

A highly entertaining film and well worth a watch.

[untermensch]

Tokyo Godfathers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388473/) - cute Christmassy Japanese animation movie about a hapless trio of homeless people who find an abandoned baby and their adventures as they attempt to re-unite it with its parents

The Machinist (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361862/) - slight headfuck movie, kind of a cross between Memento and American Psycho (also starring Christian Bale, who rocks my socks)

Casshern (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405821/) - if it hasn't been mentioned already - movie adaptation of the 70s manga "Casshan". Wild story, hard to follow unless you're familiar with the original manga, but some of the most breathtaking and original action sequences you've ever seen. Worth watching, even if you remain confused throughout the film.

2046 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212712/) - Very weird Chinese love story, the sequel to "In The Mood For Love" (which you don't need to have seen to watch this). Beautiful cinematography with a dark and compelling take on romance vs sex

Touching The Void (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408144/) - Re-inactment of a contraversial mountain climbing incident involving two young British mountaineers in the 80s. Gripping story, and a reasonably accurate depiction of the actual events.

Wild story, hard to follow unless you're familiar with the original manga, but some of the most breathtaking and original action sequences you've ever seen. Worth watching, even if you remain confused throughout the film.


Hehe, yeah, I mentioned this a page back...think I said pretty much the same thing too ;) Lovely to watch but wtf was that all about then eh?! Still, a highly entertaining film nonetheless :)



I just got a double dvd Japanese Zombie movie thingy yesterday...It features Junk, and Wild Zero. Wild Zero looks utterly insane, and Junk sounds kinda cool...updates when i've watched em ;)

Casshern and Wild Zero.

Great choices there. :)

All Quiet on the Western front (original version)

[the_void_becomes_me]

The Butterfly Effect.

Although I am aware it has Ashton Kutcher in it, a great film nonetheless with an ending which echoes many desires, if only our moments of precognition came earlier, we might be able to solve the problem which is ultimately ourselves.

[Skylizard]

Wedding Crashers---- This is by far the best comedy I have watched in years, brilliant.

[eroticnightmare]

Naked killer.
All the joys of a cheeky chinese film, essentially a snuff film, but the women are the killers, and as they get away with everything then i guess its allowed!

Shaft
a film about a big black man (samuel L.) who kicks arse, and his name is Shaft. need i say any more...

Blackball
the joys of british comedy, the best comedy there is (remember snatch?!), made in devon, has johnny vegas playin a fat lout(which im sure was an effort for him). set in devon which is where im from(yes it explains alot)

I watched ripley's game the other day, about a wierd rich bloke, and a wierd dying bloke. didnt really know wot to make of it!

Bram Stokers Dracula

oooh Gary Oldman in tophat n tail coat, wiv a cane

*melts in a puddle of goo*

sorry, really gotta stop that. personally i dont think dracula was truly evil, his wife died under false circumstances n his faith failed him. frankly i'd b slightly pissed off 2. true he cld have handld it a little better but thats besides the point. a tragic n dark love story if ever there was one (and Gary Oldman in tophat n tails. wiv a cane)

[PapaLazarou]

I have trouble taking Keanu Reeves seriously in that film (well, in most films to be fair) although I thought he redeemed himself somewhat in Constantine.

[gothicbikerbabe]

"i know where the bastard sleeps! carfax abbey!" *sniggers* best line in the whole film......

[PapaLazarou]

I keep expecting him to finish the line with "...dude!"

[gothicbikerbabe]

LMAO!! unfortunately u jus cant get the full effect of the crap english accent thru the medium of internet....

[PapaLazarou]

I think British accents are hard to fake convincingly (and probably lots of other countries/regions too) but there is a tolerance level eg James Marsters in Buffy - ok you know its fake but you can let it go. Keanu just doesn't even get to that point.

[gothicbikerbabe]

keanu is jus funny throughout bless him.....

the girl who play mina n lucy (there real names escape me) r quite funny 2, but in a good way.

[Crash_Dark]

I really enjoyed 'Constantine', and it was a role that suited Keanu's wooden-ness.

They're all rip offs of Cheech and Chong though obviously...

On-topic the last film I saw was Fantastic Four (predictably bad). The last OK film I saw was Family Guy : The Movie (not actually a movie at all, but still OK).

[A4266]

Filmes I've recently watched/waiting to watch with a some of my thoughts.

Watched:
War of the Worlds (Great adaptation. Gotta watch it again.)
Alien vs Predator (w00t!)
Queen of the sex vampires (Some sex, not enough vampires. Basicaly it sucked in a bad way)
The Manchurian Candidate (Damn fine remake!)
Batman ("insert original Batman cheese here" Its the 1966 original, what can I say :D )
national Treasure (hmm, not to bad. Sahara was better imo)

Waiting to watch:
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992: Should be interesting)
Happy Gilmore (Where'd I leave the fooking DVD?)


Well those are the movies I've watched so far since monday last week. Might of left out a few though.

Lets hear your thoughts on those films!

Agrees with you entirely about the film.

I like my carnage to be accompanied by swords and such things, Conan is one of my heroes! Still, films and such are a matter of opinion. People liked "Saving Private Ryan" for example, I personally thought it was a festering pool of wank.

"Alexander" may not have been in the same league as "Gladiator" and other such masterpieces but it had its moments. I can't say I was bothered by the lack of Jolie in every scene, but then again I'm female and straight :P

That's just what I think anyway :)

Agree with you on 'Saving Private Ryan' LOL. After the first superb 30 minutes, it went precisely fucking nowhere, and went there V-E-R-Y bloody slowly too.....

'Alexander' should have been a truly great movie, Oliver Stone directing, a compelling historical figure with which to set out a truly epic film, but it just didnt work. Macedonians having Irish accents was just STOOOOOOOOOPID, Colin Farrel was just plain wrong in the main role, the whole 'is he/isnt he having a gay relationship?' thing was just crap, just get on with actually showing it, or leave it alone and the script was pretty awful. A totally wasted opportunity.

Not as bad as John Wayne as Genghis Khan, but definitely on a par.....

Saving Private Ryan made me want to slowly eviscerate myself just so I wouldn't have to suffer through the awful "plotline" any longer. Or maybe it's just my burning hatred for Matt Damon and Tom Hanks :P

Haha, not a John Wayne fan then? Granted, he was a bit too tall to be Genghis Kahn but, let's face it, it was him or Errol Flynn :P

I agree that Colin Farrell was wrong for the lead role. I think Russell Crowe would have made a better Alexander, or possible Ralph Fiennes. Someone with a real command of the screen. As to the gay relationship, I think that was played down a bit because gay relationships were so commonplace in Greece at the time. Haven't you ever watched Spartacus? ;) I think Alexander had all the makings of a great film, for the reasons you stated. Admittedly, it didn't live up to its potential, but I don't think it was as bad as everyone makes out. I personally enjoyed the final battle very much.

Now, if you'd like to try an absolutely woeful film, you should watch Hitch *shudders*

Oh no, I think you misunderstood, I have no doubt that Alexander probably did have a gay relationship with his mentor, I was just annoyed about the tip-toeing around it. Ralph Fiennes would've definitely been my choice for Alexander.....

'Hitch' is utter crap....LOL. I agree

I think I read somewhere that Alexander was a rampant homosexual, so he probably had many, many gay relationships. However, the film was designed to target as wide an audience as possible, and a lot of the public are still uncomfortable with the idea of watching two blokes get physical on screen. I expect that is why it was tip-toed around. Just look at Troy, there wasn't even an allusion to anyone being gay, eventhough most of them probably batted for both sides. Incidently, I think Alexander was much better than Troy. Achilles was just too awesome all the time, its hard to empathise with "perfect" people!

Wild Zero

I don't even know HOW to start explaining this film, so it's probably best I don't try...it's a Rock & Roll JET Movie (apparently)...and was ohsovery Japanese & crazy.

There were zombies, aliens, rock and roll, Guitar Wolf, some strange looking pimpmeister wearing disturbing hotpants and carrying a grenade launcher...and of course lots of explodey head death among the utter carnage.

'City of lost Children', visual confectionery, absolutely delicious. I also watched the rather recent Asian horror film called 'The DollMaster'... it was a bit dry, the storyline was lacking..

I still have atleast ten more movies to watch, all of which I bought last week in London. Arriving home again last night was quite depressing in the way that I suffer from the Reykjavik blues (i.e. the realisation that there is nothing here at all)..

I might also mention that I saw the movie 'unleashed' last June, then dubbed 'Danny the Dog'. It's pretty good fight- and actionwise, but don't expect too much in the Luc Besson department. I have the feeling that it's been edited in the light of the altered title.. I found it funny that it still hadn't even been premiered in England!

Local black comedy called 'Strákarnir okkar' (our boys) about the star of a football team coming out and announcing he's gay. He gets kicked off the team and starts playing with "Pride united" instead. I felt it was a sort of Full Monty ripoff..

Hmm, that's encouraging about 'Crash' - since they named a movie after me, I thought I ought to go and see it, but the publicity didn't really make it look very good....

I still want to see 'Dukes of Hazzard' for reasons of pure nostalgia.

I went to see 'The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D' at the weekend. Pretty poor, unless you're under 10, but that's about what I expected anyway.

Recently, I've also seen 'Herbie - Fully Loaded', which was fun. They'd used modern CGI effects to give Herbie a lot more expression than he ever used to have. Purists will no doubt say that's a bad thing.

'Madagascar' was remarkably unremarkable.

A Hole In My Heart

From IMDB:

"Just when you think that the film has done everything it can to shock and disgust you ... it gets worse ! Thinking about scenes in isolation, they shouldn't be too bad - but I guess it's the whole development of the characters that make events so disturbing.

The director was on stage afterwards (London Film Festival) and said that he thought there were something like 68 different messages in the film, but wouldn't expand on any of them, and wouldn't answer questions about why he had blanked out all the logos - other than to confirm that he had done it on purpose. He also claimed that he didn't understand the film himself, and that he would much prefer to be making children's movies rather than this type of film.

Before the film he had predicted that 9% of the audience would walk out during the film - he seemed pleased that the dropout rate was lower than expected !

Worth seeing, if you like being made to feel uncomfortable"

Yeah, it did make me feel a little uncomfotable in places.....

I went to see A Hole in my Heart, completely oblivious of it's content.. I hadn't really been keeping up with the whole media fiasco that was on about it, and well, lets just say I won't be seeing it again. D:

I did however venture to see Charlie and the Chocolate factory at the theatres, again, despite the murderous prices of tickets. I'm happy to announce that I found it was even better than the first time, not to mention the EXTREMELY juicy trailer for the Corpse Bride that was shown before the movie..

While a remake of the Thing could be one of the best things ever (no pun intended), it's unfortunately likely to end up paling in comparison to the original.
Past experiences dictate that remakes of classics end up unfit to clean the boots of the original (of course there ARE exceptions to this), there'll be no Kurt Russell, instead they'll probably opt for someone rubbish (Jude bloody Law or something), and there'll be lots of computer generated special effects, which, generally speaking, can look pony.

just wondering if anyone's seen a british made psychological/thriller called
'Dead Man's Boots'?

its very well written and has that almost hitchcock type of style.

its also rather good.

I know of one called Dead Mans Shoes that I have just picked up (on the recommendation of Buddhist_Insect) but have not yet had a chance to watch.....

Heh, I lent it to my ma (as she likes British films) but she said that she had to turn it off after a while as it was so depressing.

Now there is a recommendation if ever I heard one.......

Depressing? hmmn...yeeaaaasss
but the use of drugs to inflict violent revenge on folk does lighten the mood.

In case anyone hasn't mentioned it, Serenity totally rocks.

Reiver party anyone?

I'm currently "watching" Fahrenheit...well, I say watching. I'm playing Fahrenheit. Tis a PS2 game in the interactive movie mould, only this time they've actually got it spot on...none of this namby pamby shit.
It's a gritty psychological horror/thriller with top graphics, animation, interaction and best of all a wikkid plot.
So far it's already made me jump a few times and is more than just a little bit freaky! Am loving it :)

Went to see Wallace & Gromit and The Curse of the Were-Rabbit over the weekend. Definitely worth going to see, very funny.

i think I am loving this movie

Really made me want to go back to Moscow

Ah, yes. In order to do well these days, all films must have a hot woman on the poster, preferably holding one or more swords, knives or automatic weapons. Double the popularity if she's wearing rubber or leather.

How I managed to watch so many films since sunday morning is a mystery to me but there you go...

Casshern (Japanese-2hours and 21 min of awsome images and soundtrack)
Open your eyes (Spanish-NOT Vanilla Skies, pleeeease!)
28 days later(BRIT!!!!)
Dolls (Another japanese...)
A Chinese Ghost Story :)(Chinese,... of course)
Life is beautiful(Italian)

Enjoy them if you can if you are (like me) utterly bored of Hollywood crap or have(again like me) a soft spot for European and specially for Far Eastern cultures...

It's called "time magic"...we manage to get thru insane amounts of films in a weekend using this blessed witchcraft ;)

This'll be why I've not been about recently

Excellent films :) Haven't seen the others you mention but the ones above are great.
Casshern makes very little sense (or at least it did when I saw it at the cinema) but it's a fantastic visual audio feast (^_^)

Btw, you might wanna check out the Korean film Doll Master, tis much goodness.


We recently watched:

Versus
Sky High
Azumi (1 & 2)

All Japanese, all fantastic. Highly recommended.

Gots us some more madness for this weekend too.

Spirited Away
The Yin Yang Master

[crowboy]

Hellboy and War of the Worlds.

[gothicbikerbabe]

Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy

[ecclecticbb]

The last Samurai and The House of Flying Daggers: Pure beauty on screen...

Sin City... Yeah, it is a well adapted comic but apart from that, I am honestly not impressed, always the same old bloody stories... I guess I should like the comic itself in the first place to "savour it"...
