Good bunch.

Love Jeunet's films. Delicatessen and Amelie were brilliant, A Very Long Engagement was a very good and all.

I love all Jeunet films to, even Alien4, but the Long Engagement was a bit tedious for me.

Spoonatov · 1st June 2007, 15:34

Yes, it was vastly overrated.

mehro · 1st June 2007, 15:40

Saw Pan's Labyrinth last night. Another fine acting performance by a child actor. Ivana Baguero was adorable as Ofelia. This is the second movie I have seen of Sergio Lopez (Captain Vidal), the other one being With a Friend Like Harry, and although the two roles were quite similar he was brilliant on both occasions. A really nice movie overall.

It could have been a brilliant movie with a decent script.

Agreed. The fantasies were the best parts and the movie should have concentrated on those and Ofelia instead of derailing onto Mercedes and her brother at times.

Exactly.

One here as well. I wonder if it's got subs.

I get the feeling you thought it would've been better, Mehro.

Here are the english subs for it(1cd version). Might need some tinkering though.

I did. Like I said above in reply to cinc, after watching the trailers of the movie I expected a little more from it and was a tad disappointed that the movie had a nonsense subplot.

Spoonatov · 1st June 2007, 20:12

Fair enough.

and Ta Cinc.

Got The Devil's Backbone and Seconds(Rock Hudson - recommendation from Kev). Come and See was out of stock.

olesmyhero · 1st June 2007, 23:20

Duel to the Death. Decent enough kung fu/samurai film. Is a bit slow at parts, but has some very satisfying action.

Spoonatov · 2nd June 2007, 11:36

Sympathy Mr Vengeance (finally got around to seeing it). In a nutshell, fantastic film. . .

oh and Ryu's bird would definitely get it.

Wibble · 2nd June 2007, 15:55

I saw Pirates 3 today.

Entertaining but fuck me it was long. Far too much plot.

Half the plot and 50 minutes less owuld have made it a great film. 6/10

Wibble · 2nd June 2007, 15:56

I watched Fletch tonight for the first time in 20 years. Excellent 80's film with Chevy Chase at his very best. 7.5/10

Thought that was the weakest of the 3 in the trilogy.

I've ordered Oldboy too. Got a good deal(5.1DTS). Hopefully, I'll have it on Monday.

Spoonatov · 3rd June 2007, 13:41

downloading Kiki's Delivery Service. Anyone seen it?

Wibble · 3rd June 2007, 13:43

I think so. Was that the one by the same bloke who made Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away? If so I have seen half of it and it seemed as good as his other stuff. If not. No I haven't.

Spoonatov · 3rd June 2007, 13:48

Yes, it's by the same bloke. What's Howl's Moving Castle like?

Wibble · 3rd June 2007, 13:52

Good question. My son has it but I never watched it. I really liked spirited away.

Spoonatov · 3rd June 2007, 13:55

Loved Spirited Away, as well. One of my faves. I'd watch Howl's Moving Castle tonight, if I were you. It's highly rated, apparently.

mehro · 3rd June 2007, 15:03

I didn't like Oldboy and didn't think much of Mr. Vengeance although I saw that only in bits and pieces.

Spoonatov · 3rd June 2007, 15:39

Downloading The Legend of Hellhouse. Seen it, Mehro?

mehro · 3rd June 2007, 15:45

Never heard of it. But post a review once you see it and I'll add it to my rental list if you say it's worth it.

Is it a horror flick? My girlfriend's visiting me and she's been dying to watch a decent horror movie. She's seen Rosemary's Baby and The Shining and I don't really know many good ones. Any recommendations?

Spoonatov · 3rd June 2007, 15:58

Rosemary's is probably my fav. The Tenant is very good too(Polanksi, as well) so are Audition (Japanese) and A Tale of Two Sisters(Korean), I thought Lost Highway by David Lynch was pretty creepy too. Oh I liked The Challenging and The Entity(thought it was going to be crap ended up enjoying it), too.

Have you seen The Haunting(1963)?

(Jacob's Ladder, not sure if it can be classed as a horror, but I thought it was creepy as fuck, I'd recommend it to anyone)

mehro · 3rd June 2007, 16:03

They don't have the Tenant in the store where I rent from but I'll look the others up. Cheers.
