What movie did you watch last night? (36 Viewers)

[ratmonkey]

BLACK SWAN. Other than the lack of funky music, afros, pimps and the usual stuff you get a film has black in the title, this wasn't bad at all.

AB TAK CHHAPPAN. Indian film about cops who do two things. When they have information, they kill criminals. When they don't, they kill time. The high ranking cops may or may not be up to no good.

This definitely show its budget, things like firing a gun towards the camera and no flash when it shoots are a bit off-putting. I did like the way the main cop and the main gangster spend half the film on the phone calling each other assholes.

Three days of epic drug binging become a meth-induced odyssey for college drop out Ross when he becomes the local Crystal Meth cook's personal driver in exchange for free drugs. Bouncing from one bizarre situation to another, Ross slowly slips deeper and deeper into the crazy anonymous world of speed freaks in which there exists no boundaries or morality. With an all star cast including Brittany Murphy, Jason Schwartzman, John Leguizamo, Patrick Fugit, Mena Suvari, and an unfortunate green dog, get ready to see the city through eyes that can't sleep. It's spun.

Watched ths for about the 4 or 5th time - still as enjoyable as the first time..

IP MAN 2, or Donnie Yen's Rocky IV. Not quite as good as the first one but still pretty good.

CLASH. Solid Vietnamese action film. Whoever cut this for DVD could have left it in it's original ratio, there's a few times people seem to get kicked by disembodied legs coming from he side of the screen.

EBOLA SYNDROME. In which Anthony Wong is a sleazy and despicable bastard running around raping, killing and spreading ebola.

LOLAnthony Wong not being 'a sleazy and despicable bastard'.

They point it out on the back of the box in case you didn't notice.

Ann Post - you need to see this one too:

I have an old exrental VHS of it somewhere..

 

[ann post]

I'll check it out for sure. thats some cover art. looks like the inside of a transition years folder.

 

[Cormcolash]

That film is meant to be fucking amazing, in a completely hilarious kind of way

A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL. Wasn't gone on this. Could have done with more Kinski, and Kinski not dubbed with someone else's voice at that.

RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY. A Sam fucking Peckinpah film with Joel McCrea hired to transport some gold and Randolph Scott with notions of transporting it elsewhere. This is good stuff.

If you like poorly executed and acted horror its worth a look,don't take it serious and you'll be grand.

A few jumpy moments but never really takes off.

Well i liked the book and the movie stuck to it so no surprises,an enjoyable little film.

no way - it's awesome. have the black & white version here on the TO BE WATCHED pile.

 

[Ferox13]

I had expectations for this so I was alittle dissapointed. That being said its still a very funny/sad coming of age film. The 2 biggest reasons I wanted to see it, Noah Taylor and Paddy C did not dissapoint. Reminded me a little of Rushmore. Worth seeing especially for marine biologists and pyromaniacs.

LOVE EXPOSURE. 4 hour love story covering such things as religion, family, Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, three section staffs and upskirt photography. Really good.

Amazingly mental film. It's great how everything that happens lmakes sense in its own odd way.
