Sheaf Saint Posted 9 October, 2008 Share Posted 9 October, 2008 If yo haven`t seen it also try "The Lives of Others". Different type of story but almost as good. I'll take your word on that. I found the DVD for a fiver in the HMV sale so I'll look forward to watching it sometime. I am sat here watching "Mongol" at mo. Excellent movie. Went to the cinema to see that and I thought it was superb. Well recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Shearer Posted 9 October, 2008 Share Posted 9 October, 2008 army of darkness. never gets old. "gimme some sugar baby" Brilliant film. Hail to the king baby! The Happening - I dont know if it was deliberate or not but every single actor in that film just seemed to ham it up for me. Which I just found hilarious. The story was rubbish though. M. Shamalyn (spelling) really needs to re-think their ideas before churning out crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff leopard Posted 4 November, 2008 Share Posted 4 November, 2008 The uni library is selling videos at 50p a pop, so I came away with an unusual combination for a Friday night in. Animal Crackers - its starts off incredibly flat and wooden but as soon as the Marx Brothers turn up it comes to life. Not one of their drop dead classics but still a hoot. Aguirre, Wrath of God - if there is a more deranged performance in the history of cinema than Klaus Kinski (see him repremanding one of his monkey butlers below) in this film then I'd love to see it. Completely classic tale of Spanish conquistadors journeying deep into the Amazon jungle to find El Dorado, and going absolutely stark raving mad in the process. One of the greatest films of the 1970s, it was a MASSIVE influence on Apocalypse Now and all of Terrance Mallick's stuff and, despite the occasional ropey looking special effect, its still an amazing viewing experience 35 years later. Shoot the Pianist - one of the 60s French New Wave films that Tarantino was so fond off. Its brilliantly inventive and manages to be absurdly funny and deeply moving at the same time. You've gotta hand it to Joe la Frenchy, he's made some unforgettable films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the bit at the start of the video clip, where Klaus Kinski's character shoots the expedition leader, assumes control and then stares down every man around him, all of whom peed their iron pants fo sho. By all accounts he tried to kill the film's director on several occasions. Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, Pekinpah at his curmudgeonly best, all death and change and railing the man. And droopy 70s breasts. and droopy 70s bob dylan? you gotta love Pekinpah, blood, nudity, swearing and men being so masculine they go beyond manly in feminine, and then rape and kill all the women and go back to manly for right old whisky knees up cor blimey ****ells and muscles alive alive-o. :smt117 (they've censored my kock!)

St Landrew Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 (edited) Just finished watching Big Trouble In Little China, after not seeing it for years, and it's still just as much escapist fun. Kurt Russell is just this side of believeable bullsh!t [ready..? I was born ready..!]; the Chinese warriors were flying years before Crouching Tiger, and a younger Kim Cattrall looks utterly gorgeous. And the special effects are what we used to think of as special effects, and not wall to wall CGI. Good stuff.

jeff leopard Posted 10 November, 2008 Share Posted 10 November, 2008 Silent Hill. Good luck with that, it’s a bit poo. My girlfriend hadn't seen Robocop before so she had the massive joy of seeing it for the first time on Saturday night. It really is one of the greatest action movies ever made and one of the very few 80s Hollywood films that attacked Reagan and Bush snr administration. So many brilliant lines, my faves are still, 'can you fly, bobby?', 'he's a cyborg, you idiot!' and '*****es, leave!' :badgrin::badgrin::badgrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 11 November, 2008 Share Posted 11 November, 2008 Flight Of The Phoenix [2004]. The opening was OK, but as soon as the actors opened their gobs, I knew this would be another Hollywood film with Hollywood attitude. Of course the special effects are fine, but there was no tension, no despair, nobody appeared to suffer from the experience, and didn't even appear to get sun or wind burned in any great way. Even the plane didn't seem to take much effort. The only standout was probably Dennis Quaid, who deserves better than this. By contrast, the original Flight Of The Phoenix [1965] is a masterpiece of film making. Everything that the remake doesn't have, this one does; and the special effects are perfectly acceptable as well, and almost certainly much more realistic in scenario. The acting is utterly top notch, with every actor giving their best, and they really appear to suffer and despair. Frankly, why they bothered to do the remake is quite beyond me. There are legions of poor films of great stories out there to have a go at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recorded the remake Sunday and watched it last night. It was ok at best but completely unnecessary. It added nothing to, and removed plenty from, the original.

Sheaf Saint Posted 12 November, 2008 Share Posted 12 November, 2008 Went to see W. at the cinema lastnight. Wasn't quite what I was expecting - the trailers made it look like it was a satire - but it's enjoyable nonetheless. The only problem is that you just don't know how much of it is factual and how much of it is made up by Oliver Stone. If I knew it was all true then it would be a fascinating insight into the workings of the GWB administration, but there's just no way of ever knowing. Worth seeing though. Josh Brolin is absolutely brilliant as Dubya and Thandie Newton's portrayal of Condoleeza Rice is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
