What movie did you watch last night? (7 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

That was the pre-Expendables weekend marathon, think I got in 13 over Friday to Sunday. Didn't do much else all weekend. Most productive weekend in a long time.

nice work. i don't think i could manage 13 films in a weekend

It helps that most action films are about the 90 minute mark.

Yeah by the time I was done with Das Boot Ratmonkey had watched two full films and was at the point in the third where the bad guy gets a slightly rapey ride on, thereby proving he's the baddest.

fell asleep 40 minutes into vampires kiss with nic cage.

Another cool 70's sci-fi film. Beats the shit out of Logan's run

 

[xsteox]

saw Welcome to woop woop, which is a quirky oz film about an american who "marries" a girl from a small backward village, where noone ever leaves. Not bad, passes the time, the whole super natural red kangaroo bit seemed bit out of place though.

Earlier this evening watched The Manchurian candidate, ( '62 version with Frank Sinatra) very good, gripping film.

no idea why i quoted xsteox

 

[ratmonkey]

So called because he transports bad guys to a world of hurt. I'd recommend getting this guy instead of DHL if you have shit needing transporting.

Going to watch 'Paper Man' this evening - has anyone seen it? Ryan Reynolds is difficult to watch, but Emma Stone is one of my biggest girl crushes right now, so. Worth sacrificing a few hours of my Epic Mad Men Catch Up (seriously, I'm only on season 2!)??

ratmonkey, have you seen this yet?

It's not that bad.

 

[ratmonkey]

Nope, but it's on the list of things I need to see in the not too distant future. Thought there was some Filipino film Batista (or Bautista as he is there) was in as well, but I can't find mention of it now.

wings of desire,
A beautiful movie

Im goin to watch more wim wender's tonight, "alice in the city"
​

Wim Wenders is one of my favourite directors. 'Paris, Texas' is great too. I love the Nick Cave scene in Wings of Desire... ugh Wenders can do no wrong really.

 

[ratmonkey]

One of your post-apocalyptic type things, except everyone looks like they're in a western and there's loads of fisticuffs. And footicuffs too. Isaac Florentine directing, so loads of whoosh sound effects every time someone moves and people doing smersaults after being shot. Amazon have it in a 4 pack for £2.35 with some other Gary Daniels film and an Oliver Reed one, and a Bryan Genesse one (he's the bad guy in this, but he comes across as a poor man's Gary Oldman in Leon).

Good, but not as clever as it seems to think it is.

Watched Barton Fink again on TG4. Probably my favourite Coen brothers film.

Oh yes, granted I've not actually seen that but heard similar reports. Thinking about it on a clearer head, Wenders can certainly do wrong. I had issues with pretty much all of the ones I've seen, if not with the actual filmmaking then the actual thematics... but I can't help but overlook them because I just love watching his films. I might actually give that a go, just to see.

This would be your Hong Kong gangster film done with Western trappings (as in the films that have Lee Van Cleef in them, not the direction). Nicely styled, if you like that sort of thing, which I do.

Starting with a motorbike coming out a window is always a good sign. First time a passenger doesn't throw up, but then that guy's been known to eat things that'd make billy goats puke.
