hello people,

the last film i saw was Bad Santa. yes i have started a new thread with some high art!
bad isn't the word, i thought it was terrible. just billy bob thorton swearing at a fat kid for 90 mins. that was all it was a joke about a sad man, criminal dressed as santa (ho Ho ho) swearing and being drunk fighting, having sex.... oh what a concept, he is like santa but what a juxtaposition or not. some redemption in the end, a little bit of a sentimental hollywood ending, but it was crap.

your turn....

Well, the last film I saw was Borat but I already discussed it. The next to last was Crash (the Paul Haggis one), and I thought it was one of the best films I've seen in the last few years. Strange, because when I look back on it now, it seems a bit kitchy (do you use that word in English?) and cliched, but while watching I thought it was superb.
I saw Bad Santa and agree it's pretty bad, goes nowhere and very depressing. Billy Bob Thornton is good though.

I saw "Apocalypse Now" yesterevening, and man, it was a hard movie. Very well done, but of course no happy ending.



and I'm in love with the young Martin Sheen

I've considered seeing that.. is it worth it?

I've considered seeing that.. is it worth it?

Oh yes. But not if you're sensitive to violence. Do so at your own peril :)

Okey!

watched Mission Impossible 3 this morning. ho hum, typical action crap. good support cast but biggest disappointment was that Hoffman didn't get more screen time. Last film I saw at the cinema was The Departed which was enjoyable.

A chilean Movie called "Padre Nuestro" ,it was really OK

Last film I watched was a norwegian from the start of the 90's, really sweet about some young environmenatlists:)

I saw Tsai Ming-Liang's latest film "I don't want to sleep alone" yesterday afternoon as a part of London Film Festival.
He caused a huge controversy last year because of the very explicit sexual scene in "The Wayward Cloud" which grossed the highest box office taking in Taiwan.

The story takes place in Kuara Lanpor, Tsai's favourite actor Lee Kang-Sheng plays two parts, one of them is a man on life-support machine, the other is a homeless guy. We don't know they're the same person or the other may be dreaming/remembering of himself.

A homeless Chinese guy Hsiao Kang is robbed, beaten and left for dead;he is found and nursed by Rawang, an immigrant worker, who lives in the shell of a modern building abondoned during the construction. We don't know Rawang's feelings for Hsaio Kang, but a waitress Chyi who hangs out with him, moreover her mistress also fancies him which makes things really complicated.

Tsai's film is usually slowly revealing the relationship with the characters. Some people may find it hard to follow, but if you're patient enough to follow it'd be rewarding. I love his dead-pan sense of humour and the way shot the urban decay; in his film rundown buildings look really unsual and bizarrely beautiful.

Tsai's obssession with boy-meets-girl story is very unique. It's also very teasing because he hardly give us any information about the characters, audience are forced to fill the gaps by themselves.
I really hope it'll get a distribuiton in UK.

Severence as I have discussed. I beg you all to go and see it, I havn't laughed that hard for ages! Oh I nearly pissed myself!!

After watching the awful Bad Santa this week, I finally saw Lost in Translation (yes I have a lot of catching up to do in watching films).
I liked it, sort restored my "faith" in English language films, but what do get if you choose to watch a film called Bad Santa.
Bill Murray, well was like Bill Murray in the film, droll is the word, suitable for the films mellow pace. Two people bored by the luxury surrounding them, that they meet and develop a friendship (love) that won't last, I like that idea. Japan does seem like a more alien culture then you would expect, are there many films being made showing a 'fish out of water' narrative, I don't think so or don't know, to be correct. I enjoyed the film, dry in it's wit, thanks to Bill Murray I would think, then Sofia Coppola's script or direction.

The Fight Club(again)...it's the shit, great great great movie, I'm such a hyped simple mind :)

I just realized I have owned Fight Club on DVD for years and only watched it once. It was a good movie but all I can remember is meatloaf getting shot in the head.

I watched Sometimes In April this morning... I've lost all faith in the mankind... again.

I love edward norton when he's not in humor roles...Ed Nazihead was the shite

Was that the movie where the guy smashed the other guy's head on the curb? *shivers*

yeah, shivers

american history X, he looks the bomb in that film. tried to watch the italian job remark with him last weekend, but it was bad. he squeaked all the way through it.

Children Of Men.

Great acting, original theme and seeing Michael Caine as pot smoking hippie make it one of the best movies of the year.

Last film I've seen in the cinema was Red Road and it's undoubtly the best film I've seen this year!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471030/

And Love will Tear us apart by Honeyroots, playing during the final scenes, is one of the best covers I've ever heard! (can upload if you want)

Last films I've seen at home were La Diaganale du fou, De battre, mon coeur s'est arrêté, Se souvenir des belles choses, in a desperate attempt to improve my French.
All 3 films are excellent!

dammit fallen in love with fight club again...

damn fuckin god Bob is dead!

His name is Robert Paulson.

roflmao :)

I was watching telly and noticed they showed 'the man in the iron mask'. I kept watching and then realised how nice those musketeers looked (too bad D'Artagnan died) and how awful Leo Dicaprio is/was..

What channel was this on? I saw 30 seconds yesterday of something musketeery (could just be coincidence though...) but then we watched a DVD.

A Belgian channel - impossible for you to receive ;)

Coincidence then :D

dammit fallen in love with fight club again...

hey sir alec & Pervomartovtsi you are breaking the 1st rule of fight club....

Last night I saw "The Reckoning," the latest title in my Netflix Monkfest 2006. I was supposed to watch something else, but nexflix screwed up again, or maybe I ordered my queue badly :mad: But I digress (as usual). The film had everything: wintry medieval backdrop, religious overtones, a theatre troupe, angry townspeople, an evil aristocrat, and the plague. Bonus? Paul Bettany and Willem Dafoe. I give it four and a half cowls.

Oh, I saw a bit of that a few days ago but it was close to ending so I didn't stick around. Paul Bettany *sigh*.

paul was on british tv last night in Master & Commander. he is good isn't he. the film seemed like fun ( i mised bits of it) i wish i had seen it at the cinema. all them battle scenes and the the open sea, loses a lot on the small screen.

david hemmings had such style in that movie.

The Man From UNCLE, may not be a film but still. It's wonderfull:D.

yes it was. loved the theme too.

And it's still being showed here on SVT some nights, a good reason to be tired at school.

Anyone who likes House? (with Hugh Laurie).

I saw Phantom of The Opera. the last one I saw in theaters was ' Running with Scissors' which was also good and now I need to read the book

I love Hugh Laurie and I think he is superb as House, but don't you find the storylines are kind of repetetive? Patient comes in with mystery disease. It's one of two things, House decides to bet on one even though if he's wrong the medication will kill the patient! Dum dum dum! House was right, patient is saved. Am I wrong? :)

You're perfectly right, but still it's good and terribly addictive. Too bad we're only on season one here so I'll have to download each new episode from season three when it's aired in the US.

:D

Sorry to hijack (Chartres started it! :p ) but how come there's never any TV talk around here, only films and music? Do you peple not watch TV? :eek:

I tried starting up a few TV-related threads back in the days but I suppose they all died out by now. I watch a lot of TV (in fact, it's mostly turned on when I'm at home and, although I don't pay that much attention to it, I like the sound of it in the back).

I follow quite a few series but I must admit DVD has ruined all the suspense of waiting for 7 days 'till you see the next episode. As soon as I like something I get it on DVD and then I spend my Sundays going from episode one to episode 137 with short bathroom-food-mozsolo breaks. I am now watching Veronica Mars, next Sunday is reserved for Nip/tuck and a Sunday after that I'm all in The Wire.

There's still quite a few interesting stuff going on TV - on friday nights we get English criminal dramas so I make sure to watch it/tape it if I'm not there, I watch certain political shows and movies (if there's a good one on). I guess you could say I spend a lot of time in front of the TV but it really isn't that bad. I still get around a lot of other stuff and I don't miss it if I go away for a few weeks but I would find it hard not to have it for months (if nothing else then for that background effect I'm so fond of)

Sorry to hijack (Chartres started it! :p ) but how come there's never any TV talk around here, only films and music? Do you peple not watch TV? :eek:

Acctually, I rarely watches any TV at all.

"The Prestige". A really fantastic film. I really can't wait to see it again. Both Christian Bale *sigh* and Hugh Jackman *double sigh* turn out great performances. In fact, everyone in the film does well.

The only thing that I did not like about it was the ending. They apparently decided that they had to explain everything at the very end, in case any members of the audience didn't "get it". I don't like having my intelligence insulted that way, particularly in an otherwise very intelligent, fascinating film.

On TV: I suppose I don't technically watch TV because I don't understand half of it... I used to watch reruns of The Sweeney and The Professionals on Men And Motors (I love mentioning to people that this is my favourite TV channel, the looks I get! :D) but now I own them all on DVD, cause staying up till 12 whenever I wanted to watch something wasn't the best option. Still watch Minder every weekend at 8 (6 GMT...) though.

On The Latest Film I Saw: That version of Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio in English class. We're reading the play. All I can say is: :eek: What the heck were they thinking? It was really funny though in some twisted way...

Minder is absolutley fantastic. I grew up around the area / Arfur's manor and at the time it was on T.V. Therefore it's like a trip down memory lane... (Wipes nostalgic tear from his eye).

Last film I saw was Borat. Absolutley hilarious.

School Boy humour - bring it on oooer Matron.

There's a whole Borat thread... I'm almost convinced that I have to see it. I'm in love with the Minder feem tune. I actually listen to it more than I listen to some Moz tunes :eek: *hangs head in shame*

Touch of evil : I hadn't seen it since the early nineties I think. I don't know what the movie would have looked like if Welles could have shot it with the director's cut, but it is already a masterpiece.

From the first incredible and breathtaking first sequence - a three-minute uninterrupted crane tracking shot - to the end, the film deals with some very modern questions and is a model for most the (neo) noir movies

watchin again Moulin Rouge...i'm in the diamond dogs part...i quite liked the movie

The last movie i watched was a Porno called Pirates. I could tell you what happends, but since they are all about the same I will let you figure it out. I dont wanna ruin the film for anyone who hasnt seen it, but girl gets stabbed multiple times and one of them gets it in the end!

BR

P.S. i got it on soulseek if anyone hasnt seen it.

I watched a Brazilian film called Lower City. this was about two petty criminals in a love triangle with a prostitute. some parts of the film were violent and also it has some sexy scenes. one scene had a cock fight (the farm yard animals please!!!!).
it was ok. the narrative was pretty basic and I found it interesting to see the scenes outside in the streets, the poverty etc (a different lifestyle, then what I see in American or English films). acting was ok too.

This month NFT is hosting Japanese cult film season. Most of them are trashy, but one of the best is Kihach Okamoto's "Sward of Doom".
It's an adaptation of an uncompleted saga, the script was written by Shinobu Hashimoto who wrote "Seven Samurai", very influential film to Leone and Peckinpah alike.

It's a story about a nihilistic sward man who is kill to live leads him insanity. Tatsuya Nakadai's perfomance is awesome.

The season will travel to other part of UK later and next screening at NFT is November 12th 6:15pm.

I just watched a movie called "Bitter Harvest." It takes place in Ireland and is about a bitter man, his self-chosen enemy, and how that relationship affects their families. Cillian Murphy stars in it. I'm not sure if I liked it or not yet. I need to watch it again.

tonight I watched 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'. which was quite fun. Val Kilmer was for once good in his role. A sort of post-modern film noir. It skips along at a nice pace with it's witty dialogue and dark humour.

the actor Jack Palance has died. if you watch a film with him starring then make it "Attack"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6138310.stm

the last film i saw was called 'the moguls', about a odd ball bunch of small town americans led by jeff bridges trying to make money out a amateur porn film with the locals.Jeff was the narrator and was a film within a film. Ted Danson was in it too and quite good in his role.
quite funny, not laugh out loud. turns a bit sentimental in the end. annoying american dream myth, that to be someone you must have money, anyone else is a loser. so they try to make money from amateur porn!
i thought it be better.

how come there's never any TV talk around here, only films and music? Do you peple not watch TV?

I seldom watch Tv, earlier it was as good as never, now that I don't have internet where I live, I've started following some series

I dislike most films I see at the cinema, actually I have stopped going to see films at the cinema unless there is a good chance I will enjoy it! So I was very pleased to find the last two films I watched at the cinema were most enjoyable! The Departed (FANTASTIC) and The Prestige (Good :p ).

This morning I went to the preview of The Illusionist, a film with Edward Norton as the... well... the Illusionist.
It was a pretty clever film!!
It will only open in cinemas in January, at least here in Holland.
I thought it was mix between Romeo and Juliet/Usual Suspect/Wild Things.
At first I thought: o no here we go again, another cliche romantic drama, but no - a lot of very nice twists toward the end of the film!!


O, and check out www.angryalien.com for re-enactments of films by cartoon bunnies, in 30 seconds! Hilarious!!

last night i watched a film called Underworld:evolution. This movie continues the saga of war between the Death Dealers (vampires) and the Lycans (werewolves).it starred Kate Beckinsale as vamp Selene, kind of like the matrix but with bloodsuckers.
pretty dull really just a film that looked liked a computer game. kate looked good and the film seemed to be in a constant twilight (grey, dark blue). Just
shooting off guns & fighting werewolfs, alright if your about fifteen but i'm not and i haven't got a playstaion!

Little Miss Sunshine

Hilarious film with great music and script, especially the wonderfull dialogue. The audience (yes, a cinema) gave it spontanous applaudes.

4/5 is my rating of it.

I finally saw Borat the other day ... although it was mostly a laugh-out-loud experience, the movie did go over-the-top a few times and more then once was I kinda sick to my stomach (by both "Borat" and the people he encountered along the way). Pfff, weird.

^^That's the last movie I saw too. Bit weird, but effing hilarious!

^^^ i saw it too the other week, its funny how now the lads in the campervan are trying to sue the producers. the women at the dinner party is complaining now, to news networks.
it would seem the american's aren't getting the joke (surprise) as they are the butt of it in the film anyway.

Probably "Taladaga Nights, The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" which wasn't half as tastless as I imagined.

FUCKING HELL!! THAT WAS MY 666TH POST!! OOOOHH:eek: :eek:

Now, don't do a Chica on us! :p

Now, don't do a Chica on us! :p

did you hear that the Romanian village (posing as his native village in Kazahstan) is thinking of suing too?

Funny how everyone wants to grab a piece of the cake now that it's gotten big.

^^ Glad I saw it before it gets sued out of cinemas! (can't believe they let me in to see it though... ah, the wonders of the multiplex staff in Eastern Europe)

Green Street on Sky Movies last night. Words cannot describe my feelings towards this fillm... suffice to say I won't be getting the DVD for CHristmas

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

it's a very visually film with loads of odd little CG touches and subtle visual gags. The cutaway tour of the ship was a classic, and everything seem to be in pastals. i'm begining to get bored of bill Murray's deadpan performances but I also liked the smaller roles like Klaus. The soundtrack was wonderful with unexpectedly hilarious Bowie covers, scott walker and pounding, rocking tracks in the action scenes, which were very flamboyant. i wish i had paid more attention to it that is a probelm with watching films at home sometimes.

The squid and the whale- A battle of the sexes, tug-of-love, black comedy. I enjoyed it suprisingly.

I saw The Departed a few days ago. It was good and very suspenseful, despite some odd script choices, especially the sucky ending. Very good peformances all around, especially from Leo DiCaprio, who I usually can't stand and would never think of as a "hardass." :) Nicholson was also good as usual, though not as scary as you'd expect from a mobster. He's more the "he's off his rocker" scary, rather than "he has no conscience" scary, you know? Also, I could have done without the heavy Boston accents, especially from Mr. Damon (who really is from Boston, but it's no excuse, he never talks like that in real life).
I recommend it though, all in all a movie that makes you think.

I was bit sceptical about "The Departed" because I've watched the original (Infernal Affair) and didn't like the idea of remake.
However, Scorcese ditched confusing flashbacks and casted distinctive actors which worked very well.
Look forward to his next film "The Silence" which is an adaptation of Japanese Novelist Shusaku Endo.

"The Squid and The Whale", I'm very disappointed with the director's use of soundtrack.
The choice of the music is good, but he doesn't know how to use them effectively.
As sonof77 commented it's a very interesting film and worth watching.

^^So you liked it, huh? I read most people who saw the original didn't, they felt it lacked the emotional depth of the original. I didn't see the original but I think i know what they're talking about.

I finally saw Borat the other day ... although it was mostly a laugh-out-loud experience, the movie did go over-the-top a few times and more then once was I kinda sick to my stomach (by both "Borat" and the people he encountered along the way). Pfff, weird.

It was an experience, it just became too much in the end. Especially all that naked wrestling. You've got to be drunk to get everything out of this film, it's really vulgar. Could have done with more grace and still be vulgar and everything which is his goal.

2/5

Saw Casino Royale last night in a very packed cinema. It was great, Daniel Craig is Bond, he looks tough and looks like the type of man who can do the job. The whole style of the Bond film has changed, gone are the silly gadgets and when he is hit or punched he bleeds, he hurts etc he doesn’t walk away and just straightens his tie! He even ends up in hospital.
While you would like to say it gritty, it isn’t really, the pacing of the film is it’s only flaw. The action is exciting and the violence very brutal as it shows, what he has to do to get the job done and it isn’t nice.
Eva Green is stunning as Vesper Lynd and also it still has the exotic locations and flash cars.
Lets hope Eon productions stick to this type of Bond film, which they tried to do when Timothy Dalton played him but failed in the late 80s. It was a “gamble” with Casino Royale but it’s has worked.

You who have watched "Casino Royale", how was Mads?

Last night I went to see Paolo Sorrentino's new film "Family Friend" as a part of Italian Film Festival. The film was re-edited after showing Cannes in May, but they haven't managed to transfer to 35mm yet, this screening was done by Betamax video format.
Later my friend who works at the cinema said to me that there's some argument with the distributer and the screening arrangement.
Sorrentino seemed really tired and I missed the opportunity to ask his autograph...I'm bit unlucky with Italian directors. I still regret not make an effort to meet Fellini in 91 in Tokyo and I was very close to Francesco Rosi last year, but decided not to bother him:(

It's a similar mode of Sorrentino's previous film "Consequences of Love". Geremia, a middle-aged loan shark who is infatuated with Rosalba who happens to be one of his borrowers' daughter.

After screenig we had a Q&A session with the director. One of the snippets of the film is that Giacomo Rizzo who plays Geremia was very anxious to distingush between the character and himself, at one point Sorrentino was given a gold bracelet by him. What a generous guy.
Sorrentino also said that it took time to convince Laura Chiatti who plays Rosalba to accept the role.

I highly recommend "Consequences of Love" if you haven't watched it yet.
"Family Friend" will be released in April 2007 in UK. :)

^^^ kewpie thank you for your reviews^^^

Auto focus (Paul Schrader)

Greg Kinnear amazing in this film as Bob Crane the star of 60s comedy show ‘Hogan’s Heroes’. Bob Crane's descent into moral madness can be seen as shocking, especially when juxtaposed with the family entertaining Hogan's Heroes. As he and his friend (William defoe) use the early video taping machines to record their sexual adventures with fans or groupies; which was his down fall in the end and his murder by his jealous friend.
You kind of feel sorry for him as fame and technology cause his lack of moral judgement and hedonism; as he was once such a family guy!
The look of the film is excellent too with the clothes and the mise en scene, of the late sixties.

Have you read the rant of the son of Bob Crane on imdb?
If you haven't I strongly recommend you to check it!
It's one of the most surreal and very funny thing I've ever come across from internet.:D

just watched a strange film called The Hills have Eyes, it's a remake from some 70s horror film (I thought it was better then that one which is rare). quite liked it really, not many films have a narrative about a family of mutant cannibals, living in the old atomic bomb testing grounds of the USA, high-jacking the more traditional "nuclear" ha, family to feed on, murder and rape. not one for the family at Xmas, but if want a fairly scary movie where you can cheer the family dog and lead male, while they rescue family members, then this may be it.
woh i watch some classy movies!

Saw Take The Money And Run yesterday. First Woody Allen film I've ever seen, and I quite liked it. :)

The bit in Best in show where the hostage negotiator tries to talk his son down from the garden shed roof by saying "Get down here or I will gouge out your left eye with my thumb, I shit you not you crazy freak" actually made me cry laughing.

I just got back from NFT, watched Jan Svankmajer's "Alice".
It's wickedly weird film, brilliantly convined live action and animation.
I've watched Svankmajer's latest film "Lunacy" during the London Film Festival last month, it will be released in UK sometime in next year.

Despite being a great actor, he hasn't half starred in some gash.

I've seen loads of rotten films, but Caine's been good in all of them. He once said, "I've never seen Jaws 4, but I saw the house it paid for."

yes they do, don't they, but still rather lovely.

everyone finds depp "fanciable", nothing to worry about.

i'm kind of itching to see it, went pass it on the bus at a cinema showing the film today, but i had too many things to do!

Are you still at school and worrying about appearing "alternative".

I'm a straight bloke and I can see why Johnny Depp is fanciable, he's frickin gorgeous, that's why.

How old do you think I am?

Virtually Dead is 17, so she politely said you're 28, but I know you're over 40, possibly 43.:D

Your powers of deduction astound me Cuetip.

just watched a DVD called Bad Education Directed by Pedro Almodóvar. yes I did just watch a foreign language film... it's not all gun and explosions with me yer know! "don't know much about art but I know what I like" I enjoyed it ... can't put my Barry Norman head tonight, to say anything. the cinematography was quite impressive as was the lead Gael García Bernal. it made me laugh at some points, but it was quite a shocking story of corruption & blackmail.

Anyone who has yet to see the truly amazing Old boy should see to it that they do at their earliest convenience. It's a spectacular film

i saw it a couple of months ago. it's pretty wild, very unsual piece of film making.

I loved it, that and Battle Royale were two asian films that stunned me.

Old Boy isn't as good as the first of the trilogy, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.
BTW, since when Korean and Japanese films are regarded as Asian?:confused:

They aren't? :eek:

In UK, Asian is normally referred to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
China, Burma, Vietnam, Korea and Japan are regarded as Oriental.

Aaaah. Thanks for clearing that up! I think that here Oriental means "from Arab/Muslim world".

Caught a nice bit (well, it really wasn't nice at all) of "Sid & Nancy".


my god, it was awful! from what i heard, it was supposed to be an accurate depiction of the early punk era based around the times of a member of the Sex Pistols, but everyone in the film looked like late 80's punks with mowhawks and sleeved in tatoos. plus the actressed playing Nancy Spugen's presence was more irritating than that of miss Spugen herself. Very ugly.

"y tu mama tambien" for the 2nd time...the greatest mexican movie I've seen...charolastras forever

Old Boy isn't as good as the first of the trilogy, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.

Since those places were part of the continent of asia?

Oriental? Who are you? Bernard Manning?

I saw a scene from Clerks 2 today at the guitar shop, where they talk about Lord of the Rings fans. "Haha!", I laughed, as I looked at the tiny, greasy tv screen.

watched a dvd called 'the ringer', starring johnny knoxville from the jackass tv programme.
kind of a throw away movie for me. haven't any feelings for or against it really. funny but not my laugh out loud funny.

I was a little bit disapointed with Bad Education, it's Gael Garcia Bernal and I suppose I expected something really special and I just thought it was a tad convoluted.:confused:
I loved loved loved 'The ballad of Jack and Rose', I would seriously give it 10/10 :)
Daniel Day Lewis as always is amazing in it. He's also in 'My Beautiful Lauderette (so good!) on RTE (irish tv) on wenesday

The Man From UNCLE, may not be a film but still. It's wonderfull:D.
There is definately a film out there maybe more than one

I've watched 8 films of Marco Ferreri in two weeks:
Queen Bee
Ape Woman
Diary of a Maniac
The Flesh
Dillinger is Dead
The Last Woman
Bye Bye Monkey
La Grande Bouffe

This retrospective was a low-key affair compared with last year's Francesco Rosi retrospective, but it's all welcome to have any chance of watching Italian classics.

First Ferreri film I saw was Liza, when I was 16 it was on TV after midnight. It's a story about a recluse cartoonist Giorgio (Mastroianni) living with a pet dog on a remote island. One day his life is disturbed by an arrival of a beautiful blonde Liza (Deneuve), who left from a yacht after a row with her boyfriend.
Soon Liza becomes very jealous with the dog and kills it in order to monoplize Giorgio's affection...in the end they decide to leave this world with an old aeroplane painted in pink, but the frame frozes when the aeroplane starts to move.

I couldn't stop crying afterwards because it's so sad and really haunting. This is the first collaboration with Philippe Sarde who's never failed to provide subtle, yet very beautiful music to all the films he involved.

In Ferreri's film often men are lost, vulnable and self-destractive, on the other hand women are in charge of their lives and know what they want.
It's very personal yet his films are often reflected the state of the society.
Earlier films Queen Bee and Ape Woman are conventionally structured comedies, but already have surreal and absurdist tendancy.
I haven't read any interviews of Ferreri and really curious what impact he had the death of Pasolini.
These two directors have something in common:never afraid of challenging the taboos and love to shock the audience. In fact Ferreri acted in Pasolini's Pigsty with one of his regulars Ugo Tognazzi.
I'm so addicted to Italian films which are filled with poisonous decadent feel.
It's so fascinating to watch them which leads me to totally different dimentions.

It's also great to discover another wonderful Italian composer Teo Usuelli.

There is definately a film out there maybe more than one

I there a "The Man From UNCLE" film!?:eek: Must.. see...

You can check them from imdb.com
I haven't watched, but there are two or three of them.

Yes, there is!

Priest was on TV yesterday, so I watched it for the 1000th time. I practically know it by heart already, yet it still moves me so fucking much. Anyone seen it?

The one with gogeous Linus Roache and Robert Carlyle?
It's one of the best British films in 90s.

^^That's the one! Linus Roache gives such a good performance, and the script (by Jimmy McGovern, one of my fave writers) is so intelligent and compassionate. And yes, Robert Carlyle's in it too which is always good, especially when he's kissing another man :) .

^^ Hey hey HEY, I seem to be missing out on something important! :eek:

^^Oh, honey, there's a gorgeous love scene between Linus and Robert, and quite a few kissing scenes. But - and I can't believe I'm saying this - that's not the best thing about the movie :) .

that's not the best thing about the movie :) .
I knew it! There's something more, right? The fourth base? :eek:

^^ :rolleyes: :D You have no appreciation of high culture, do you? And the love scene is fourth base.

I saw Layercake on sunday. i hae got a bit bored of gangster films. the british ones are especially awful. but i enjoyed this one as i'm getting into daniel craig after casino royale. quite stylish and well directed. the camera didn't stop moving for the first ten minutes. some funny lines and a scene of violence from the piont of view of the person being beating up, which was original. i did get a bit bored of the plot about a third in.

it was even more awesome then i remembered...

I saw this movie 10 times or so, but I've got to mention it here: Fucking Amal from Lukas Moodysson (he's a Morrisseyfan) most beautiful movie I've ever seen and there are some shots in it where you can see Moz on posters in a girls room, if you never saw it, watch it!!, but I guess everybody knows it already :) it's about 2 teenage girls fall in love with eachother, very funny, charming and sensetive...

FUCKING ÅMÅL! I LOOOOVE that Movie!

The last film I saw was A Clockwork Orange.. I cried. Is that film supposed to be funny or what?

i saw the new rocky movie out of boredom last night and was pretty surprised by how much i actually enjoyed it. the concept sounds pretty crappy and stuff but the movie isn't actually all that bad. by most standards it's not very great, but they did as good a job with the idea as was possible.

i just watched Lord of War, with nicholas cage. the first couple of minutes, during the credits, show the story of a bullet. the rest of the film is fairly depressing because of the reality of the film's narrative.

yes, war is bad
and that opening was quite intense for me to watch
i was so entranced by it
my flatmate/good friend had to check if i was ok
you know
sometimes i think more about every 'stray rounds' i fired then the ones that

cuz
these 'babies' i fired

something like this film must really effect people, like yourself; more then someone like me who has never held a gun (and i don't realize).
my dad never liked to talk of war, either as he was in the army.

yeah... didn't think of that "iraq & another bush!" if you watch say a film or tv programme and they get it wrong, does it make you angry or do you just (as you say) laugh at it's crassness!

Charlie and his chocolate factory. Johnny Depp is one of those few actors that the girls go woof woof for and the boys clap clap for!! (Unless they're boys of a certain nature)

As for the rest of the film... I always thought Veruca Salt was a mid-90s American band.

The Secret Garden...I am 21 years ofage and so I now just don't think it will ever stop being poignant when Mary's on the Yorkshire moorland and she learns how to cry :WEEPS:

The Pursuit of Happyness...
A good movie, though horribly depressing (so many of us should REALLY enjoy it ;) ). And as i learned, it's not a good first date movie...:D

I caught up with Unfaithful on DVD and dug it. It's hot. I enjoy seeing Richard Gere getting cheated on. :) Also enjoyed the DVD featurette on film editing by Anne Coates, who edited my favorite movie of all-time, The Elephant Man, and whose name reminds me of the name Morrissey's sped-up voice once used. :cool:

Some of the deleted scenes are worth a looksie too. ;)

Ooh, I like Fucking Amal, it's very sweet, and the language is kind of funny, no offence Chartres! :). The ending was a bit weird, it would have been better to end it with the previous scene, with the girls coming out (oh so symbolically ;) ) of the bathroom, but whatever. I really like the soundtrack, some good songs from this band Broder Daniel (musically; the lyrics are utter crap :) ).

I finally watched Brokeback Mountain and am I right if I say it was a bit hyped? But the role Heath played was great though - the shy introvert & loner. I expected to weep, but didn't!

Pirates of the Caribbean, I taped it from the other night as I never saw it when it was released.

Thought Johnny Depp was excellent but not actually sure if I enjoyed the film or not .

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... Great film. And very sad:(

i just watched Broke-back mountain, what a beautifully made film, I wish i had seen it at the cinema, for all the shots of the mountains and scenery.
the story moves along with a slow pace... heath ledger seems to mumble his words. the two leads express the masculinity of their love for each other but at times a tenderness in shy looks and coyness and 'love' is a word never said in their relationship, which is hidden away on fishing trips.
well i liked it, it's a sad story.

I just loved the role Heath played! I think it was intriguing; he was sometimes so mad and standoffish, but then his loneliness caught him, and that was so sad. The last bit, in his trailer!

It's a shame that conservative Academy members didn't vote it for the best film.
Oh well, always the right one misses the awards...:p

yeah too right... he pushed every one away who love him, jack, his wife, his daughter, the girl friend... because he scared of his 'real' love another man, and he knew the world he lived in wouldn't accept it.

Oh, and I thought there were going to be some more love scenes in it too, now that would've made it provocative! ;)

didn't need them really.

Oh come on, it's always nice. You're not going to tell me you didn't feel anything when they kissed? ;)

Wolve, I recomment you to watch Japanese film "Gohatto" ( Forbidden) and "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" both directed by Nagisa Oshima.
IMHO subtle, less explicit love scenes make the film even better and poignant.;)

Oh come on, it's always nice. You're not going to tell me you didn't feel anything when they kissed? ;)
have you taken over chica role... well nothing in my loins anyway... but may be in my heart because how they cared for each other.

Oh I liked that movie, I am a bit of a sucker for Brody though, have you seen Dummy? I found it a bit funny.

I saw The Shadow Dancer on flight.
Harvey Keitel is excellent as usual, really pleased to see Giancarlo Giannini who is playing a mischeivous priest.
It's a pretty average comedy lacks sharp wit，but if you like inoffensive feel-good movie you might like it.

BTW， my flight from Heathrow to Frankfurt was delayed, I nearly missed the
connection. When I arrived in Narita, I got bad news...they didn't have time to bring my lagguage to the connecting flight and it'll arrive this evening! I only have my hand lagguage with me which is very annoying...This is the last time I fly with Lufthansa.:(

The Devil and Daniel Johnson is a great documentary about a disturbed songwriter with a big cult following. Funny, sad, moving, and a great introduction to a really unique artist.
A Scanner Darkly is a faithful adaptation of one of Philip K Dick's best novels and has some great performances, especially Robert Downey Jr. Very entertaining, funny and thoughtful movie. A dark film about living in a near police state in the middle of a drug epidemic. Sounds familiar?

Thanks，tmyem! I got my suitcase earlier than expected.
I'm pleased with ANA's efficient service，a Japanese airline which did the job on behalf of alliance Lufthansa.

I kept missing The Devil and Daniel Johnston and A Scanner Darkly. Hopefully I'll have chance to watch them when I'm back in Tokyo later this month.:)

I just watched a film tribute called Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man and it's very worth watching whether you're a fan already or not. Don't be fooled by the pics of Bono on the cover, he's hardly in it, but is just the most famous person and he doesn't sing. Has Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright, and a number of other pretty good singer/song interpreters and some great interview footage with Cohen. Excellent film.

"Priest" was a very good film... although I usually get very annoyed when Catholic priests in films stick to the secrecy of confession rule even when someone is about to be murdered or there is a child abuse going on. :rolleyes: I didn't know Jimmy McGovern wrote it. His scripts for Cracker were brilliant, especially the story with Robert Carlyle ("To Be A Somebody"). Any other Cracker fans here?

The last films I saw were "The Bourne Identity" and Antonia Bird's "Face" (starring Robert Carlyle) because both were on TV in the last couple of days. Well, actually, I missed at least a half of "Face", so I can't even be sure how good the film is. I think I like it, or liked that much that I saw.

I would rather talk about the last film I saw in a cinema - "Walk On Water". I saw it a few weeks ago, at a retrospective of Israeli cinema. I thought it was great. Has anyone else seen it?

Oh, you saw Mozzer's favourite actor! What was he like?

The last film I saw was A Clockwork Orange.. I cried. Is that film supposed to be funny or what?
Funny?! "A Clockwork Orange"?? I don't think so.

It's a really good film, but hardly one I could cry over - there just aren't any sympathetic characters in it. But it addresses some interesting ethical and social issues and makes good points about society and the penal system.

I wouldn't be sure that he's Morrissey's favourite actor - what happened to Terence Stamp, Albert Finney, etc.?? But Lior Ashkenazi was good, and so was the other lead - the German guy, can't remember his name. I thought about that film when I had the little discussion on last.fm (or rather, mojoblue's shoutbox) about war/nations/guilt for war crimes. The film approached some difficult topics in a very smart and balanced way, they made really good points without hitting the viewer on the head with it and without appearing PC or preachy.

rolled up on him like christopher reeves :eek:

(terrible joke but I laugh at it anyway)

oops then...
I don't mean that you SHOULDN'T root for anybody in the film, I mean that there is no rule what the viewer is "supposed" to feel. Especially in the film like that, which is not a black-and-white story with clear-cut heroes and villains. "A Clockwork Orange" is one of the best examples of a story where the main character is a villain ("villain-hero"); the villain-hero might be violent and ammoral, but he's usually given some appealing characteristics to make him more interesting, or some sympathy for him stems from the fact that the other characters and the society in general aren't presented in a flattering light. All this might be a part of the intention to make the ethical aspects of the story more ambiguous. It's not like a typical Hollywood movie where it almost feels like they're saying to you: 'OK, this guy is obviously a hero, so you should root for him, and this guy is a villain, so hate him'. It's more interesting when you're not sure what you feel about the characters. People might root for Alex or they might hate him, or they might dislike him but still feel some sympathy towards him at some points in the story.

And it's funny too, especially the language doin' the ole inny and outy

i like to show clockwork orange to dates
:)

"Priest" was a very good film... although I usually get very annoyed when Catholic priests in films stick to the secrecy of confession rule even when someone is about to be murdered or there is a child abuse going on. :rolleyes: I didn't know Jimmy McGovern wrote it. His scripts for Cracker were brilliant, especially the story with Robert Carlyle ("To Be A Somebody"). Any other Cracker fans here?

The last films I saw were "The Bourne Identity" and Antonia Bird's "Face" (starring Robert Carlyle) because both were on TV in the last couple of days. Well, actually, I missed at least a half of "Face", so I can't even be sure how good the film is. I think I like it, or liked that much that I saw.

I would rather talk about the last film I saw in a cinema - "Walk On Water". I saw it a few weeks ago, at a retrospective of Israeli cinema. I thought it was great. Has anyone else seen it?

that episode of cracker is amazing piece of tv and acting from carlyle, i've seen it a couple of times. as is mc governs, Hillsborough (1996)

...
and he is now the voice of jor el superman's real dad in smallville... also he in two good films one called 'the Limey' and he other from the 80s called 'the hit.'

And it's funny too, especially the language doin' the ole inny and outy

the language is called NADSAT some of the words have a russian origin.

the book unlike the film ends when Alex sees his old droog Pete who is now grown up and married. he realizes that violence is pointless and unproductive and that the true way to find happiness is to settle down, marry and start a family.

I was thinking I would be watching the Michael Mann film "HEAT" last night as it was advertised. Instead it was "HEAT" Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey homo-erotic film. Quite awful acting but highly watchable. Joe Dallasandro made me want to work on my abs.

Oh I liked that movie, I am a bit of a sucker for Brody though, have you seen Dummy? I found it a bit funny.

i have just watched 'Dummy' after your recommadation and it was quite a sweet movie.
brody was good in his role, the rest pretty light weight, but it was entertaining.

How great is "Goodfellas"...

and I'm in love with the young Martin Sheen


You too? He's a total stud in that film, an utter STALLION.

You too? He's a total stud in that film, an utter STALLION. I looked at your list and thought...now that's someone to while away the hours in the back row.

Yesterday I watched "My second orgasm" - it was actually a German teenage 'comedy'. It wasn't that funny tho...:rolleyes:

I meant of course Meet the parents! And a bit of the Mighty Boosh! God, was that hi-la-ri-ous! Wolve*, I'm going to give you the links to those Mighty Boosh videos, you're going to love it!


*chica, of course

No, I don't think I'll even open them, but sure, go ahead, I'll be polite and say thank you :rolleyes: ;)

I'm sure you'll open them,it's because you probably haven't found the time yet. :p

If enough time passes they will be deleted from my inbox, so that'll be a convenient excuse for not watching them! ;)

Not to worry - you can still find them anywhere on youtube. (right?)

Umm, I don't think so, but I'll try ;)

um
utube
is kind of lame
you know
:eek:

Tell her Robby! :p

I'm a big fan of Cracker and The Lakes, but I think Priest is his best. It's interesting how he likes to deal with the same issues in all his work - priests, gambling etc. And yes, the hillsborough episode was outstanding


I would rather talk about the last film I saw in a cinema - "Walk On Water". I saw it a few weeks ago, at a retrospective of Israeli cinema. I thought it was great. Has anyone else seen it?

I wouldn't be sure that he's Morrissey's favourite actor - what happened to Terence Stamp, Albert Finney, etc.?? But Lior Ashkenazi was good, and so was the other lead - the German guy, can't remember his name. I thought about that film when I had the little discussion on last.fm (or rather, mojoblue's shoutbox) about war/nations/guilt for war crimes. The film approached some difficult topics in a very smart and balanced way, they made really good points without hitting the viewer on the head with it and without appearing PC or preachy.

I liked Walk On Water a lot the first time I saw it. The second time I was of course less engrossed with the story, so the flaws stood out more. For instance, I did find it a little preachy, but it's because I live here so I'm familiar with the themes and don't need them explained - it seems to be more directed at international rather than domestic audiences, which is legitimate, I suppose. Anyway, it is far better than most Israeli films. What others did you see at that retrospective?

I saw The Prestige the other day, anyone seen it? A twist filled story of two rival magicians in the 19th century. Suspensful, but pretty depressing, as tragedy follows tragedy, with not a moment of comic relief. Stupid twist in the ending, too. To be honest what I most enjoyed was yummy Christian Bale and his lovely working class accent :) . David Bowie also has a small role, and he's very good actually.

EDIT: I see this post pushed my last post back, so nightandday, see back page for my reply :).

I really should have noticed this thread before I created one for a specific movie probably only a few of you have seen. :(

You are forgiven :) .

oh YES! now you are talkin! makes me go all tingly!

I watched the classic "River's Edge" again last night, mostly to hear Crispin Glover say "Don't be a narc!" in that great "California" accent. Dennis Hopper has some pretty good scenes too. The original story the movie is based on took place near where I live and they totally captured that time and place. :D

[QUOTE=Dave;427383]The Devil and Daniel Johnson is a great documentary about a disturbed songwriter with a big cult following. Funny, sad, moving, and a great introduction to a really unique artist.QUOTE]
