tickle Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I watched Hostel - gruesome stuff Not bad, good enough to have my toes curling and hands up to my eyes on a few occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Woah! Way to miss out the best one o_OWhich one? Edit: (skip that....you posted while i was writing this..and yes your right Chasing Amy is the best one).I just finished watching Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.Needed a twist at the end though. With the little (annoying) references to Allan Frogs death and even more annoyingly no explanation of how he died) I was sure he was going to turn up as a vampire.

Alkaline Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Watched Dude, Where's My Car? earlier and i'm currently watching Croupier just now. Clive Owen is a chief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Which one? Edit: (skip that....you posted while i was writing this..and yes your right Chasing Amy is the best one).I just finished watching Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.Needed a twist at the end though. With the little (annoying) references to Allan Frogs death and even more annoyingly no explanation of how he died) I was sure he was going to turn up as a vampire.Aye, Chasing Amy is the best View Askewniverse film by a country mile. In order of preference:1. Chasing Amy2. Clerks3. Mallrats4. Clerks 25. Dogma6. Jay and Silent Bob Strike BackThough there isn't a bad one amongst them. Despite what people say Jersey Girl wasn't terrible and Drawing Flies is ok too.I wouldn't mind checking out Lost Boys 2 at some point as well although i can guarantee that i will be sorely disappointed.

Elizabeth Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, then Belleville Rendesvous and then Superbad.Boy in the... was so, so sad. I cried, like a girl. Belleville Rendesvous will always be cool.Superbad was quite funny at parts, really, shockingly bad in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Any surprise twists?Yeah, in as much as no "hard-boiled" renegade cop steps in and saves the day by performing ridiculous one-punch-and-you're-dead kung-fu moves, before landing the plane safely on one stuttering engine.Oh! - and the sneering, philosophical, Oxford-educated baddie leader doesn't meet any convoluted and ironic death.Actually, the nasty gets his crust stoved in by a fire extinguisher.

Alkaline Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Actually, the nasty gets his crust stoved in by a fire extinguisher.Nothing beats the head stoving with a fire extinguisher scene in the gay fetish bar in Irreversible. Great film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Nothing beats the head stoving with a fire extinguisher scene in the gay fetish bar in Irreversible. Great film.Great movie, but the tunnel scene is unwatchable - brave performance by Monica Bellucci.I was so angry by the end of the rape, that I was ready to rewind it back to the fire-ex scene - just for payback - then I remembered it was only a movie.Bothered me for days and had I bumped into the boy that played Le Tenia in a bar, I'd probably have glassed him on general principle.

Alkaline Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 However, as it turns out the guy fire-ex'd the wrong man.Well, i didn't want to give that away...I like the sound effects through from the start. The way they generate a physical level of unease is great (especially when pumped out through a quality 5.1 system on DTS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jo-D Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 'The Orphanage' is currently winning my film of the year. It's a cracker, if you're into that sort of film.I watched 'Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten' last night. I really enjoyed it, but I think I benefitted from the fact I haven't watched any documentary films on The Clash/Members of The Clash before. The night before I watched 'The Cottage'. Quite funny in parts. Not a brilliant film but still fairly good and it's worth a watch if you're a League of Gentlemen fan. Jennifer Ellison wasn't as irritating as I thought she'd be. PS: Dog Soldiers is brilliant.really want to see the orphanage (on dvd yet?)I really liked the cottage, but heaps of my pals thought it was rubbish, but as you say I'm into league of gentlemen- love silly humour!

Lemonade Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 This weekend I watched:Ghost Rider - a total waste of 2 hours. Dragged like crazy and was boring as hell.1/5Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (1931) - a horror classic, really enjoyed it, the guy really managed to pull off the double character, Hyde is a proper baddie! Well worth a look.4/5Fargo - one word - classic.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I bought Starship Troopers whilst in the Asda for 4. It is a fantastic satire on Nazis and war in general. Also has some crackin comedy and gore to amuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've watched quite a few films recently:Cold Mountain- very good. a lot better than i thought it was going to be.Hart's War- Ok, nothing exciting though. Dungeons and Dragons- Not as bad as i remember it being. Still pretty laughable though.I plan on watching Lucky Number Slevin tonight as i remember it being quite good when isaw it at the cinema. I still have Atonement to watch as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyEB Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 ENRON - The Smartest Guys In The Room. A really interesting and slightly scarifying documentary about the fall of the ENRON energy company. Well worth a swatch.I also watched Ghostbusters, which is still ace.

Bit of a tear jerker like, if you're watching it with the wife, or if you're a girly poof who cries at films, have a box of Kleenex to hand.
