What movie did you last watch? - Page 61

Morrigan_Dubh · 04-13-2006, 02:44 AM

"The Hunger". With David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and Catherine Deneuve.
I really like this film, even if it is a bit self-conciously stylish. It verges on the 'artistic', but is still a well-plotted, absorbing film.
And the opening scene is pure 80s, with Bauhaus as a 'disco band' doing "Bela Lugosi's Dead". Class!
The only fault I have with it is that there's not enough of David Bowie in it.

Pulp Fiction - "Aw man, why'd you shoot Melvin in the head?" Priceless.

The Pink Panther. I didn't like it;there were some funny scenes, but the plot was boring and predictable.

*Yogi Bear [2 vintage 1961 episodes].
*Experiment In Terror [1963]. Directed & produced by Blake "Pink Panther" Edwards. [Boring excuse for a Film-Noir flick. Where's the terror? Where's the suspense?]]

King Kong (2005, Directed by Peter Jackson)

Just watched this film today, and it is brilliant!.

I caught Monty Python and the Grail Again and also Good Night and Good Luck, which I felt deserved a bit more acclaim, but it was fresh and brilliant.

Tonight, I am watching the recent Victorianized incarnation of A Midsummer Night's Dream with K. Kline, M. Pfeiffer, C. Flockhart, et al.

*Yogi Bear [2 vintage 1961 episodes].
*Ministry Of Fear [1942]. Directed by Fritz Lang. [A bizarre Film-Noir film set in WW2-era England; Welsh actor Ray Milland--the Anthony Hopkins of his time--plays Stephen Neal, a man released from a mental institution after 2 years & goes to a outdoor fair where he wins a cake in a cake weight-guessing contest. From there, Neal finds himself in a battlezone chasing some sketchy guy who stole his box of cake; involved with a seance gone awry; a charity organisation with a terrible secret; a murder he's been accused of; trouble with Scotland Yard; and an beautiful mystic/femme fatale.]

Dr Who (twice) - okay, I know it's not a film, but by the time I'd watched the episode again, I could've watched a film.

The Amityvile Horror - the original one. It was on tv and it just seemed like a good idea. But it was on very late and I did have to get it out of my head by watching an episode of Red Dwarf (Dimension Jump). Smoke me a kipper - I'll be back for breakfast!

end.of.eternity · 04-16-2006, 08:18 AM

V for Vendetta - one of my favourites, really.

spookypurple · 04-16-2006, 09:07 AM

I missed that!

I was SO annoyed. I waited ages for it to come out, then everything went mad with rehearsals, and when I finally got a free evening, it was gone!

That should have gone in the rant thread really, shouldn't it?

Oh well...

Fluffy bunnies, pictures of puppies...

Pathogen, The Howling [1981], cool choice, did`nt Joe Dante direct that one?.

Have you seen `The Company of Wolves` ?.

spookypurple,

What do you think of the new `Doctor` ?, I think he is a vast improvement over the last one, but I much prefer the orignal series. Tom Baker was one of the best `Doctors`.

Red Dwarf rules, I watched `ME2` (Nothing is more terrifying than the prospect of two Rimmers) last night.

Blazing Saddles... mmm.

succubus,queenofvampires · 04-16-2006, 12:27 PM

I've just watched "Basic Instinct 2". I was kind of disappointed by it. I didn't find the events logical, but maybe that's just me...

Crom Crauch · 04-16-2006, 12:57 PM

its really not that logical a movie though

Cambodian Breakfast · 04-16-2006, 01:04 PM

I just watched Seven. I really don't know how many times I have seen it but it is great. I am now watching The Ninth Gate.

Engulfed_in_darkness · 04-16-2006, 01:51 PM

Urban Legend 1 and 2. Serial Killing rules.

"Seven". Bonechilling flick. On all levels.
"The Ninth Gate". Hella sucked. Not 1 of Johnny Depp's or Roman Polanski's best flicks.

BEOWULF: Yes. I love werewolf flicks, abot as much as vampire & ghost flicks.
I remember when "The Company Of Wolves" hit the theatres, around 8th grade. Never got to see it until 2 years ago. Great, twisted, intense retelling of the old "Little Red Riding Hood" story.

Pathogen,

`The Company of Wolves` is one of my all time favourite films, The mis-en-scene and art direction is perfect, it is just how the `Red Riding Hood` tale was originally told, before the victorians sanatised the story and changed the ending.

I also love the cinematography as well it`s so beautifully shot, and the storytelling is fantastic.

I watched `Bram Stokers Dracula` (1992, Directed by Francis Ford Coppola) today, and that is definatly one of my top ten films.

Morrigan_Dubh · 04-17-2006, 03:28 AM

"An American Haunting"

Terrible, terrible film. Highly unrecommended.

pitseleh · 04-17-2006, 06:10 AM

Kekexili (Chuan Lu, 2004)

Chinese film about a group of volunteers protecting the Tibetan mountain antelope from poachers. The Tibetan landscape is such vast, beautiful and imposing setting for this harsh, but very human, story. Not exactly the wordiest script, but the characters are still portayed in a believable and touching way. Very recommended.
