David Kelly 1260 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I watched most of Paths Of Glory last night. I've not seen the end yet but I'm really enjoying it. I'm finally starting to enjoy Kubrick's films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Watched 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' again. Still class. Also saw about 20 minutes of Underworld 2 - Jesus Wept The end scene is absolute classic tbh. The banter is also quality throughout. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is gash though.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan Couldn’t wait for the DVD so I watched that very shit quality pirate stream online. Even though I couldn’t read any of the sub-titles and would have missed half of the jokes it might still be as funny as any film I’ve ever seen. I was thinking what I’ve ever laughed more at. Probably only South Park and The Life of Brian. Whether the shock laughs in Borat continue to amuse me years down the line like they do in the others mentioned, I’ll have to wait and see, but the hotel wrestle where I was convulsing with laughter long before the situation got to it’s peak of breathtaking hilarity will forever be ingrained on my brain. Cars Don’t quite understand why the critics turned on this one out of all the Pixar films. It’s easily better than A Bugs Life and Monsters Inc, and I think it’s probably better than Finding Nemo too. How can you beat a kids film where cars compete for the pissed in cup (Piston Cup)? It doesn’t have the laughs throughout to make it a classic of Toy Story 1/2 or incredibles proportion but the story itself is lovely stuff, it looks brilliant and the final credits are hilarious. Considering the message (winning isn’t everything and not worth being mean to achieve) it was strange to choose Michael Schumacher for a cameo. Strangers On A Train Touch of Evil I’ve never been so freaked out as when, in Strangers On A Train, Bruno watches Guy play tennis while everyone around him is watching the whole game. Hitchcock was a genius. But not a showoff, he could show a murder reflected in the victim’s glasses which have fallen off and though it looks fantastic and fresh even now, it’s not showy, just creepy, adds to the suspense of it all. Orson Welles was a genius too, but he was always pulling out all the stops to get as much of himself on screen as possible, there’s no need for the 3 minute opening crane shot in Touch of Evil, it adds nothing but wonderment at how it was achieved and appreciation of how Welles is always trying new stuff. Hitchcock only put something in if it helped tell the story. Best Hollywood director ever. Both superb films though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Took mrs hips to see Borat yesterday. Pretty funny Pity about these fuckin charvas who have to go to the fliks at the same time I do. Oh, how I would love to exterminate them. And I'm not kidding.

Happy Face 29 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The Apartment I always thought I hated Shirley Maclaine, even though I'd never seen her in anything, now I realise I love her to bits. It was a fantastic film altogether, but most especially scriptwise. Pom Poko The Raccoons in the countryside surrounding Tokyo fight back against the humans destroying their habitat by shape-shifting. Everything you expect from studio Ghibli. Lovely satuff.

The Fish 10963 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I enjoyed Jarhead, showed how utterly futile that "war" was. don't you find that the horror movies coming out these days go more for the shock/gore factor, rather than genuine fear? going to go rent a DVD tonight... dunno what's worth it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) don't you find that the horror movies coming out these days go more for the shock/gore factor, rather than genuine fear? going to go rent a DVD tonight... dunno what's worth it though If you like a slow burn thriller Hard Candy has just come out on DVD and is well worth it. Central Station A cynical old bird who never got married and has gone to the dogs escorts a young lad on a road trip across Brazil to find his only surviving parent. Lots of lessons are learned, laughs are had and tears are shed. Worth a look. Edited November 12, 2006 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Accepted - total rip off of van wilder and old school. Should be done for copyright tbh!

JawD 99 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The Prestige Canny that was. Two friends become rival magicians. Not quite what I thought it was gonna be but turned out to be a very watchable film. Decent cast (Michael Caine, David Bowie, Andyt Serkis, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson & Christian Bale) and despite its length didnt feel long at all.

Guest alex Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Malena - good film about war time Sicily. And it stars the most beautiful woman in the world, which helps. Worth a watch. Rope - classic taut Hitchcock thriller with James Stewart stealing the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canny but not as good as the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Aye, I probably prefer The Birds and Psycho and (off the top of my head) Rear Window and Vertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
