Happy Face 29 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Once in a life time The story of the New York Cosmos "soccer" team and the doomed North American soccer league. Superb documentary. Most of you will have heard about the Zidane film that's out. Has anyone seen the George Best one? Zidane arrives in cinemas simultaneously with the rediscovery at festivals of an earlier and very similar work, Football As Never Before by the German director Hellmuth Costard, in which eight 16mm cameras track George Best through 90 minutes at Old Trafford in late 1970 as Manchester United beat Coventry 2-0. It's a nothing game, and Best was already bent upon drowning his gifts in white wine. But like Zidane, the film is a time-and-motion study, wherein the audience learns nothing about team formation but rather - through the fabled integrity of long lens and long take - is urged to appreciate individual mastery. Best and Zidane repay our attention, instructing us in what becomes a legend most. http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/review/3421/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras 266 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The Cosmos one is actually quite interesting. Giorgio Chinaglia was a right shit (still is the stock-fixing cunt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6783 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Agree Ewerk, the ending was as weak as piss. It was a good film imo, but not a masterpiece and not want I'll be wanting to watch again in a hurry. I also found the whole shared girl friend thing pretty contrived. The Departed. Just got back from watching it. Spot on by Rents & to a certain extent Ewerk. Edited October 18, 2006 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been me who mentioned it as I saw it for the first time about 6-12 months ago. It's a strange one isn't it? Quality though. There are some class performances but (as usual) Hoffman steals though the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 'Happiness' - Basically a series of interlocking stories that are about lust, perversion, middle America, loneliness, coming of age (excuse the pun, if you've seen it) and paedophilia! Phillip Seymour Hoffman is class, as always as a bloke who rings up random lasses in the phonebook to knock one off while asking them what they're wearing. It's a funny film (in both senses of the word) and I would definitely recommend it. I thought the way the paedophile was portrayed as a seemingly normal middle class dad was both scary and (probably) as realistic as the media stereotypes of these people. Luckily there are no actual scenes of child abuse taking place. 158374[/snapback] The Russian singing in his brown underpants is hilarious. Storytelling is another hilarious Todd Solondz film you might want to try. I still haven't seen welcome to the Dollhouse which is meant to be his best. Got it on DVD... weirdest fim i've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 From Here To Eternity I've been watching loads of old films recently and thoroughly enjoying their upbeat outlook, they always cheer you up unlike the cynical modern films. I thought I'd get a nice cheer up off this love story set around Pearl Harbour 50's film, but christ it's bleak. I wanted to top myself. Bloody good though.
