What movie did you watch last night? (15 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Watched Kick Ass... unexpectedly brilliant! Much better than all the Marvel superhero films by miles.

It was so good that I watched the sanitised airline version again on a flight recently.

The end.

I was at the premiere of this at the Toronto Film Festival.
Enjoyable.

Emma Roberts is now my new official semi-legal-horn.

Gary Daniels and Sugar Ray Leonard in Compton vs the Crips, the IRA and a roller hockey team. Gary Daniels also teaches kids to take pizza out of the box before putting it in the oven.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Chow Yun Fat, shooting, exploding*.


*Chow Yun Fat does not explode. Other things do.

Four Lions

Occaisionally very funny and occaisionally very irritating. Chris Morris just can't right charachters, he can write very funny scenes though.

Spoiler

By the time it reaches the end any hope of poignancy is lost by virtue of the fact that the charachters are too thin to really care about them. Energetically and admirably un-PC throughout it saves its most telling criticisms for the vignettes which depict the british security services. Not so much a brave or bold statement movie as a raspberry blown into the mic at a speaking engagement.

If only there was room here for a little more heart the final scenes may have reached the gloriously depressing highs of Withnail and I or Only Fools and Horses as all british comedy should do.

Good but not good enough to get Morris killed.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

on an Australian buzz....

Razorback any use? It's on my list of stuff to watch in the near future.

yeah its grand, kinda like but not as good as Tremors.

and the other oz movie i tried to mention was this -

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

that looks amazing.where'd you pick it up?

 

[ratmonkey]

Amazon, for £1.86. Also, it's set at Christmas so it'd go nicely before or after Die Hard.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i watched The Killer Inside Me last night. i thought casey afleck was very convincing but the film was quite boring

tonight i'm gonna watch this. heard it's not great though

 

[HMD]

Hadn't a clue what to expect and thought it was very good. I realised i don't hate Banksy, i hate a lot of the cunts that like him. Loads of his stuff in this is great.

Dogtooth

Brilliant. Probably the best film I've seen this year. Reminiscent of early Lars Von Trier or even a (whisper it) funny version of Micheal Hanek or even a restrained Harmony Korine. Surreal, engaging, unique and affecting, ingenious and un-nerving this will no doubt be remade by yanks in 2 years time with everything good about it bleached out to make an enjoyable romp with Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams and the latest line of Shitehawk Lebouf and Megan Fox clones. See this now so you can righteously piss on the seats of your local omniplex when the Yankabortion version is released.

I was randomly walking down the street in Toronto last weekend and spotted a piece of his in an alleyway.

It's quite small - about a foot high and had a perspex cover when I saw it.

 

[washingcattle]

I saw a few of his pieces on walls in london about 5 years ago and they are really catchy. I think I'm in the same boat as HMD. If one more person insists on showing me his coffee table book I'll vomit on them.

Peacock - Enjoyed this movie, it stars Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Susan Sarandon. Cillian plays a schzoid charcter who acts out the role of both husband and wife and his carefully structured routine of domesticity is shattered when a train carrier derails and crashes into his back garden. It gets stranger and is definitely worth a look. Cillian Murphy is outstanding in it and he carries the film really well.

just watched this. i thought it was very good, your man's motivation for all the stuff he did wasn't terribly convincing though...i know you could say he was just mental, but..

I'm sure there's worse. Have you seen Black Samurai or the Ultimate Warrior (the Yul Brynner / Max von Sydow piece of crap, not the wrestler)?

 

[pete]

The Other Guys. Enjoyably ridiculous ("AIM FOR THE BUSHES", etc.) but i was not expecting what they did with the end credits at all.
