Film You Recently Watched

The History Boys - more like a play than a film, with the quality of the piece all in the witty dialogue and excellent acting performances.

Best part of all though was that it was shot in my old school, so it was just like a trip down memory lane.

 

Was forced to watch Hot Tub Time Machine last night.

What an absolute barrel of ****.

 

I thought it would be a hilarious, Hangover type romp. It was just stupid bollox though.

 

I just ended up yelling at the stupid little **** everytime he kept trying to interrupt anyone doing anything remotely stupid/funny.

Fat *****.

 

Hot Tub Time Machine seems like a movie no non-American could like.

Like Mr Bean and non-English, or Jerry Lewis and non-French.

 

Mrs Sven insisted on watching Deep Blue Sea last night right before we went to sleep, I warned her but obliged.

I quite enjoyed it, but for the ****** effects when Mr Smartarse Shark decides to eat people, she was scared all night.

Stupid bint.

 

District 9.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_9

 

Just saw 4 lions, and i'd give it 6.5/10.

Had some funny bits, but overall it was fairly distasteful, and actually quite sad at the end.

 

Very clever film. the lead actor was a producer originally and had never acted.

 

TC2000 with Billy Blanks, Bolo Yeung & Matthias Hues

 

Watched Killbill 1 and 2 last night and the night before, quite enjoyed it but think the ending is a bit... ****.

 

Kill Bill 1 was the most boring, self indulgent, 3 hour long in-joke for film nerds I've ever seen. I couldn't bring myself to care enough about what happened next in order to watch II.

 

I'm English and I don't get Mr. Bean.

Jerry Lewis is the American version of Norman Wisdom. God only knows what the French see in him.

 

Football Factory. Was pretty good.

 

District 9!:biggrin:

 

The other Guys

 

it was a fairly easy movie to get

the closest it got to head scratching i thought was why doesn't michael caine put those kids on a plane to france to meet leo. oooooh riiight....

 

If you can take subtitles Intimate Enemies is one of the best war films I've ever seen. Brutal depiction of what war does to the most principled of people. You get a real feeling of how de-humanising and terrifying combat is. Set in the 1959 war between occupying France and Algerian liberation fighters. Interesting portrayal of former French resistance/liberation fighters torturing Algerian resistance/liberation fighters.

Other sub titled War films I recommend are Days of Glory about Algerians drafted into the French army, Flame and Citron about resistance in Sweden (I think), Max Manus (resistance in Norway) and Assembly (Chinese blockbuster about the civil war).

 

Flame and Citron is Danish Berks Good film though.

 

Vampires suck looks hilarious!

 

Thank you and apologies to Danes everywhere

 

Downfall is amazing if you can handle them

(you'll all have seen part of it as one scene with Adolf is ALL OVER youtube)

 

True. Should have added that to my list.

 

going to watch the hangover tomorrow, see what thats all about.

 

Have recently watched Akira Kurosawa's Russian language film Dersu Uzala.
It was nice, sort of a cross cultural buddy cop film minus the cops.

A Russian surveyor comes to rely on an old man native to Siberia as a guide as he maps the place for the Tsar.

I don't think I am giving much away to let you know that Dersu dies in the end.

 

Been looking for Sophie Scholl for a while. It looks like a very moving film.

just bought 'Good' with Viggo Mortensen about pre war Germany and the SS.

 

Three films that I have watched recently:

The Blind Side - thought it was really good feel good film, has its funny moments

Shutter Island - my flat mates love it, but i only thought it was ok

District 9 - not a fan, had an ok storyline and quite liked the symbolism with apartheid in south africa, but overall didnt think it was great.

 

The wife made me watch The Runaways.

It was pretty good though...story of building the legendary all girl rock band in the 70's that Joan Jett amongst others came out of. Really well done.

 

Just saw green street. Fantastic film. Much better then football factory imo. Now i have that annoying bubble song stuck in my head.

 

millwall?!

 

F**king millwall?

No it was west 'am, but had an american guy as the leader with a poor cockney accent, being quite racist to the "yank".
