choffer Posted August 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2011 Take a look if you get chance. Very short, short but quite enjoyed it. Obviously left wanting more but then I guess you'd expect that, what with it only being about 4 minutes long. Looks quite well put together - what kit were you using?

Cheers and we used a Sony HVR-Z5E camera. It was borrowed as they are rather expensive to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2011 Mike Leigh = genius. Indeed Seconded. With the exception of High Hopes (which I thought was decent but I found the massively OTT yuppies annoying) he's pretty much a flawless director for me. Just on the subject of Another Year, how great was the cameo from Imelda Staunton? that great two-header with Ruth Sheen (another superb actress)was so fantastically natural.Absolutely. Been thinking about that film all day - I know so many people just like those characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2011 Watched "The Perfect Host".... was a bit... random. But also quite enjoyable. Think it needed to be a little darker.... but was a 7/10 film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I watched "I spit on your grave" last night. Not a great film but still got me. For the first time I've really enjoyed excessive violence in a film. The last 20-30 minutes of the film, that is. They deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 23, 2011 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've only seen the original. I prefer the originals of movies like that. They're way more stark, gritty and visceral. I hope they never re-make Cannibal Holocaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they never re-make Cannibal Holocaust. Normally I'd agree with you, but I hadn't heard of the original before I saw the remake in the video store, so this kind of is the original for me. But I might go for the original in the future. The remake isn't very well played, but still, the raping scene makes me cringe and then I really cheer for her.

NeilS Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I watched Predators last night. Painfully average film, 5/10 just for the Predators being coooooool Yeah I watched that the other week, not a patch on the Arnie original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was like "got what I expected", not the best movie, but some cool action. But no, it's not a patch on the first one. But way better than Alien vs predator.

DeepDish Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, cince I am not able to move too much (other than take a taxy at work) after breaking my leg, I have a lot of time to watch movies. So I decided to watch the Colours trilogy, directed by Kieslowski. Saw "Blue" first, then "White" and then "Red". What an amazing trilogy. Made me think what I miss out on of movies, when I usually watch American Hollywood movies. Will watch more of those great European director's movies.

Bleu is pretty much the most perfect movie I've ever seen, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2011 I must watch Three Colours again. I thought they were all a bit dull first time around, but it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Watched on the plane in the past week or so ... Thor - boring Source Code - Enjoyable but hated the ending Battle los Angeles - poor mans Cloverfield but Ok True Grit - the first Coen brothers film i've really enjoyed Unknown - Enjoyable enough The Lincoln Lawyer - enjoyable liked the way MM played the character , possibly has legs to make more of the books into films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it did have some goods parts in it, but not enough for me. I expected a little bit better from the film. I've not seen AvP, I might give that a miss.
