Seen Any Good Movies Lately? - Page 4

LifeDistortion · 09.14.2006, 05:33 PM

Le Samouri is kick ass. I rented that from Netflix months back and swam in the glorious 60's French beauty of it all. I just saw "Weekend" and that is probobly one of the oddest films I've ever seen, and I've seen my share of odd films. Definately a pre-cursor to "A ClockWork Oranage" wouldn't you say for those that have seen it?

The Elephant Man

fucking fantastic

Iain · 09.14.2006, 05:58 PM

Not sure about the Clockwork Orange/Weekend link. But it is an odd and pretty great film.

Iain · 09.14.2006, 06:38 PM

Oh, I saw Volver last night. It was nice...not amazing but nice for sure.

It's not half as bad as it looks.

porkmarras · 09.14.2006, 07:12 PM

There's some alcohol in the movie.

I saw The Proposition last night. Pretty impressive. Nick Cave wrote the screenplay in just three weeks and it's directed by John Hillcoat.
Great performances by Guy Pearce, Emily Watson and especially John Hurt as Jellon Lamb. It's quite violent and bloody, but well worth watching.
Music by Cave.

i didnt like the proposition all that much, thought it was a bit cliched but it certainly had a few moments.

i saw a scanner darkly last week which was really good and the week before i saw berlin year zero which was shot in the ruins of berlin 1946/47.

strictlycommercial · 11.06.2006, 12:29 PM

Proposition was a little creaky, but I enjoyed it a lot.

To me Scanner Darkly is half a great film and half a passable one. Looks great though.

Saw the Departed a few days ago, worth a look. Not brilliant but very very good. Acting's excellent.

static-harmony · 11.06.2006, 12:36 PM

I saw Babel, I thought it was pretty good.

!@#$%! · 11.06.2006, 01:27 PM

oh the proposition was good. great acting and some spectacular shots. in retrospective it's not THAT mind-blowing, but seeing as how it is the first australian movie to deal with the fuckups of colonialism (or so the producers say), it's a good thing.

this past weekend i saw chasing amy-- funny, but kevin smith has a problem avoiding cheesy endings, otherwise it was fine. i also saw rosemary's baby, excellent and very creepy. and a couple of re-watches of "a fish called wanda" (hilarious) the talented mr. ripley" (which proves that matt damon CAN act--great soundtrack also).

anyway, where the hell is noumenal?

I picked up the late 1970s British film "Scum" on DVD this weekend and enjoyed it quite a lot.
Juvenile detention-center social darwinist heaviness.
The DVD set comes with both the BBC version and the film version (which is even more uncompromising) that they made after the BBC banned it forever due to its unflinching grittiness.
Pretty cheap too!

porkmarras · 11.06.2006, 02:49 PM

Scum is a good choice,Phil Daniels and Ray Winstone really shine on it.I recently re-watched 'Nil By Mouth' and it's an excellent,gritty and brutal movie as it was the first time i watched it.Also recently,Mike Leigh's 'High Hopes',perhaps one of his least known movies but still a good(and rather long) one.

wax · 11.06.2006, 03:59 PM

king_buzzo · 11.06.2006, 04:03 PM

Still on my list of must see movies.

DemonBox · 11.06.2006, 04:06 PM

I saw Old Man last night, I loved it. I've also seen Lord Of War a couple of times the last month. Great movie.

krastian · 11.07.2006, 01:01 AM

Female Trouble was on like a week ago late at night....haven't really watched many movies lately.

jon boy · 11.07.2006, 10:59 AM
