What movie did you watch last night? (8 Viewers)

[Nate Champion]

Went to see 'Dark Horse' on Friday (the new film from the director of 'Noi Albino'). Enjoyable enough, although like extended Carlsberg adverts in places. I think a better film existed with the judge character at it's centre. Nice use of Labraford too.

Watched 'Shaun of the dead' on telly.

Then 'The Hidden Fortress', yet another staggeringly good Kurosawa film. Nearly two and a half hours long. Mifune is an animal. Sumptuous looking film.

[Umfufu]

Watched Babel last night.
Quite disappointed.
4 stories, 2 closely linked, the other 2 were kinda pointlessly linked.

Didn't really get a chance to give a shit about some of the characters because they didn't get much screen time.

On a positive note, it downloaded pretty quick!

I saw an amazing Herzog film the other night at the NFT, Land of Silence and Darkness. Anyone seen it? It's shot as a documentary about people born deaf-blind or who've become deaf-blind, and it starts off more or less as a documentary, centred on a woman campaigning for their civic rights as she meets different people from that community. And then, really really subtly, it starts to turn into a meditation on communication, and how there's almost a modern fascism of language. The last scene is amazing, the kind of thing where you're on the bus the next day thinking about something else and it keeps popping into your mind, all beautiful and strange. Incredible stuff.

[Janer]

European Gigolo for about the 5th time lol, tis so juvenile but alas very funny

exterminating angel:
the sheep entering the church, fantastic.
and once again, a dvd of taraf de haidouks live:
this is the stuff that music is all about, and shows just how much so called "expert" musicians are full of shit. incredible and invigourating.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Little Herman.

"I know a little German. He's sitting over there"

 

[flashback]

Half Nelson.
Twas very good altogether.
I really liked it. And, I was all geared up not to, cause its American, and I am a huge dickhead when it comes to Yank films.

Half-watched that again recently; was copying it for a fellow-trader. Simon Of The Desert was on the tape afterwards. Amazing movies.

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

hot fuzz.
really good, nice build up, loads of deadly little touches in the movie.
probably the most consistently funny cast ive seen in a movie for ages.
much better than the shitfest that was shaun of the dead.
best line
"its ok, its just bolognese!"

 

[Diddles]

12 angry men. Never seen it before. Excellent, excellent stuff!

Watched Chronicles of Riddick earlier. I really liked it. As long as you don't think too deeply about it. Anyone read the bukes? Are they any use?

I loved Pitch Black. I remember being very excited about Chronicles of Riddick. I remember it got bad reviews. I have no memories of what it was like though.

On Saturday

seriously good film. Roomy pace, due to stellar editing and cinematography. Strongly acted too particularily from Piccoli.
followed by

which I think is the best film noir I've seen yet. Robinson was heartbreaking as the naive artist with Joan Bennett as the bitch that fucking drove him to the edge. And Dan Duryea's in it. Masterful film-making.

Woke up the next day knowing I was gonna watch 'Rushmore' and that I did. 'Tell me, what's the secret Maxxie?'

Then

which is yet another ridiculous Fellini. Almost redeemed by it's last act.

Then

which was a bit wet, but had a likeable cast - 'we are the sons of the sons of the sons of Michelangelo and Leonardo!"
