whats the last film you watched? [Archive] - Page 30 -

It was perfect for her. The only thing was missing was Irene Papas as the the killer's protective mother and Kate Bush singing Mother Stands for Comfort.

I'm inclined to agree, but that wasn't quite what I had in mind. I was thinking that it may not have been a very good idea as a career move. The film does seem to have received a lot of (to my mind unjust) adverse criticism. :o

Last night, I watched The Abominable Snowman (1957 black & white Hammer film). :)

Oh, yeah. But I couldn't give a fuck about her career. She seems to do a good job of fucking that up off the silver screen. The negative criticism doesn't surprise me a bit. I mean, what sort of reception did the true Giallos receive in their day? I doubt that, outside of Lohan's salary itself, the film cost much of anything to make.

Excellent re-do of the old Giallo genre.

Ah, good to see this get a mention - makes me want to dig out my Argento & Fulci stuff.

Might start with one of my faves, "Suspira" - I'm a sucker for the Goblin soundtrack as an added bonus on an already cracking romp.

Plein Soleil, the French 1960s version of The Talented Mr Ripley, starring one of the most beautiful men ever, Alain Delon. Interesting that the ending was quite different to the Hollywood one. I've never read the book, so I don't klnow which is closer to it.

It was pure crap from the second it started until the second it ended, then to top off the shit sundae that was the movie was the shit cherry of that Black Eyed Peas song......

I saw an ad for that G.I.HoBag movie before Harry Potter, and i've got to say, i was a bit sickened by the effects, because most of them didn't look realistic. like, when that guy crashed through the bus, or something, the glass was like "we're fake little pieces of pixels added in post production!!", it made me barf.

but I just watched AI: Artificial Intelligence, and it was interesting. it was a very touching movie.

Chakushin Ari (One Missed Call)

19964

No, it's not the recent western remake but the original Takashi Miike J-horror from 2004.

I'm typing this from behind the sofa....with all the lights on...and my mobile in the bin.

That was bloody scary!

It's amazing how western cinema can copy films from the east, even sometimes scene by scene, but never quite capture the atmosphere the original manages to get across. This was probably best described as somewhere between The Ring, The Grudge & Final Destination but made by the enfant terrible of Japanese cinema that made Audition.

If you fancy watching something through your fingers then this should do you well :D

Watched the remake of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three last night. Didnt find it too bad and was quite enjoyable but certainly prefer the original 1974 version with Robert Shaw. He was a much better villain than John Travolta in this new version (he overplays the role a bit too much).
It was quite entertaining to play "count the word motherfucker" in this film as well!

Went to see Mesrine part 1: Death Instinct at the weekend - French true-life crime drama about a famous 1970s gangster. Thought it was pretty good, quite violent though of course. Vincent Cassell was really good in the lead role. I always like him in films - he's kind of strange-looking, but really attractive and charismatic with it.

It's like a mopey teenage drama, trying to be intelligent and complex, but just ending up rather messy, and it is complete with Chuck from Gossip Girl trying to be James Dean like, and brooding in every single scene.

Donnie Darko was effortlessly brilliant. S.Darko was just trying way too hard.

Dear man or woman, that was the least of it. Besides, I adored Bubo.

I actually used to show this to my Latin students during our mythology unit. Their job was to identify the discrepancies and to discuss how myths changed over time--even in ancient times--to suit contemporary needs. Some of the more brilliant kids were able to identify characters from non-Classical myth and legend.

"Resident Evil: Apocalypse" for about the third time.

There's not enough Milla/Alice goodness, obviously, but it's a decent enough zomb-em-up romp if you like the whole Resi universe. Sienna Guillory looks great as Jill Valentine but acts like she's been caught while doing a photoshoot in costume. Shame.

Not seen the third "Extinction" one yet - is it as bad as people make out and, more importantly, is there a big slice of Milla action in it? I need to watch it at some point, before "Afterlife" eventually comes out.....

District 9

Very enjoyable indeed. Plenty of action but also a hell of a lot to make you think - some of it obvious but other stuff more subtle. Cracking special effects - you never doubt that the prawns....sorry.....aliens actually exist. Well worth the money for the cinema.

Completely agree Carpy! I really enjoyed District 9 - I wasn't expecting it to be quite so relentlessly violent, but that didnt put me off, i was completely gripped all the way through. And the way it skipped from a documentary to a full on action film totally seamlessly was awesome! The way the main character turns into this completely unlikely unexpected hero is so well done as well!

I would highly recommend!

The idea is... ehm.. well, not brilliant but decent enough.
But the acting and the overblown ending blew it all.

Oh, and I'm completely pro David Lynch aswell..Mulholland Drive is one of the most intense films I've ever seen.
Don't think I've come across anything else so intensely complicated yet somehow incredibly powerful at the same time.

*hugs*

It's one of my all time faves.
It seems to turn into another movie every time you watch it depending on your mood.

District 9

i dunno... i didnt hate it, but i didnt love it either... i liked it, but i probably wont watch again. its one of those sci fi films thats a little bleak, bit like children of men, its kind of melancholic but still leaves you wanting to carry on watching it out of interest...

District 9.

Enjoyed it. More action oriented than I expected but that probably got it in to the multiplexes. On the train home yesterday, I noticed a guy watching it on his laptop. Definitely a poorer viewing experience.

I wonder if we'll have to wait 3 years for District 10?

I'm really puzzled about whether I should go and see 'Antichrist' or not.

I have seen all of Lars Von Trier's films up until now (his early Danish films, Riget - his take on hospital series, and all his later films), so it would seem like a big miss not to see it.
But on the other hand, there's been so much said about this film that..well, scares me a little.
I'm not a good one for 'horror' and when reading that this can definitely live up to 'Saw' and the likes, I'm pretty damn scared!

On the other hand, I do like the whole idea behind this film, especially the whole 'man versus nature' thing, which I find really intriguing.

I'm really puzzled about whether I should go and see 'Antichrist' or not.

Have you seen the trailer for it yet? What do you think of that?

I with you on the "it's Von Trier so I'm tempted to go and see it" side of thing.

Ooh.La.Lisa

16-09-2009, 09:01

Yeah, I have...and that just makes it more difficult, because on one hand I'm thinking 'wow, this looks really great' (especially visually), but on the other hand it's also really easy to take it 'one step too far' and that would ruin it for me.
As I know how easily he crosses the line between 'masterpiece' and 'over the top'...

The Carpathian

16-09-2009, 09:12

Reviews vary greatly - some saying it's a violent masterpiece and others saying it's simply a bad misogynistic mess.

Talking animals and sexual violence in the same film? Yep, that could only be Von Trier :D

The Dude (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000313/): Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Walter Sobchak (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000422/): And you know this!
The Dude (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000313/): Yeah, and five fucking years ago you were divorced.
Walter Sobchak (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000422/): So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish?
The Dude (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000313/): It's all a part of your sick Cynthia thing, man. Taking care of her fucking dog. Going to her fucking synagogue. You're living in the fucking past.
Walter Sobchak (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000422/): Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax...

Got the DVD for £3 in the HMV sale and it was money well spent. Somebody had told me that it was just another action movie but they couldn't have been more wrong. Not only was it quite funny at times but the characters had some depth and it didn't shirk from showing the human consequences of the violence nor the ultimate tragedy of it all.

For some reason a lot of folks hate Alien 3.......but I'm with you on this one - I really like it and think the change of style added a lot to the series.

i think its because of the mood, and the tone? i think it has something to do with the colours in it. its very bronzy and orangey its just not as pleasant. or am i totally talking bollocks here and people just hate the story? :p

originally... didn't the alien come out of a bull? im sure ive read about it. but what the hell is a bull doing in a prison anyway??? lol

sigourney weaver + shaved head = kick ass.

ive never actually seen it, only heard if it. but why the heck was an ox there in the first place???

as cool as the ox bit may be... i think it works a lot better with the dog.

edit - just watched it (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/847382/alien_3_the_ox_scene/). interesting :)

Old Mother Riley in Paris

The scene in the French restaurant that ends with Old Mother Riley hurling trifles, which I recalled from many years ago, was present (slightly to my surprise). Sadly, it was not quite the same as (and less funny than) my recollection. :(

Chicken Run. Great movie indeed.

I've never liked Chicken Run. I do love a lot of Nick Park stuff, but that and "The Wrong Trousers" I'm not keen on at all. I am very glad that someone is still refusing to use CGI though. Those CGI animated films (except possibly for "Shrek") leave me cold. They always look rubbish, and soulless.

Chicken Run. Great movie indeed.

Don't meant to name drop (i do really), but the person that voices Nick the fat rat in Chicken Run, Timothy Spall, is my cousin. True story. Well second cousin, but a cousin's a cousin right? He plays a rat in Harry Potter too ...

One of the best uses of a tune in a film soundtrack - using Moby's "God Moving Over The Face Of the Water" for the big finale is genius..

Coraline.

Really, really brilliant - believe all the hype around still. It's a true modern classic fairytale. Much, much darker than Nightmare Before Christmas and is far better for it.

The 3D specs with the dvd are crap though - they've still not got that bit right but I'd still score it 11/10 for the film.

It's good indeed.
Though I must admit I was surprised (not having read the books) it used quite a lot of stereotypes
Ranging from the bisexual goth hacker-girl to the secretive family with a nazi past.

Considering his political background the Nazi part is no surprise.
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stieg_Larsson
".........känd från sitt engagemang mot högerextremism och rasism."
........known from his commitment against right-wing extremism and racism.

He was a journalist and writer. His crime-books were just a sidekick.
"Larsson beskrev i en tidningsintervju kort före sin död detta författande i en ny genre som "sin pensionsförsäkring"."
Larsson described in a newspaper interview shortly before his death, this writing, in a new genre, to be "his pension fund".
Sex (and Violence) sells.

"Moon" by Bowie's son Duncan Jones

Awesome movie, one of the best story-driven science fictions I've seen for some time.
Sam Rockwell delivers an amazing performance.
And to top it all off Clint Mansel did the soundtrack. 'nuff said ;)

The soundtrack is incredible for that movie, Mansell really does a lot of great scores.

Moon is one of the ones on my list to see - good to hear yet another good report on it. Bodes well indeed.

Mansell's "Requiem For A Dream" score is so iconic that I'm still hearing things on TV & film lift part of it even now. Only issue I have with it is the film fucks me up so badly when I watch it that even the music gets to me. Still genius though.
