It did, by shocking I didnt mean bad, just that it was totally unexpected.

Yes, I knew what you meant.

Full DVDR version, as in it's a full DVD?

Can you give us the link, Cincs?

I didn't know Inland Empire was out.

Spoonatov · 8th July 2007, 12:24

Mininova?? I've has a scan, I can see a whole DVD rip. But it's ita/eng. I hope it's not dubbed.

Cincs, it's(IE download) a DVD5. CCEX6, any idea what this is?

Kiwi_fan · 8th July 2007, 12:41

Silent Hill.

Rating: 1/5.

silent hill consists of a confusing storyline that becomes ten times more confusing in the final scenes, leaving you with more questions than answers. If someone can actually shed me some light on what the hell Silent Hill is actually about, I would be very appreciative.

Only man who could do that is Uwe Böll, but he is only good at boxing.

The Mouse that Roared. Funny movie about a small country that declares war on the US.

Ballache · 8th July 2007, 18:32

Live Free or Die Hard
4/5 very entertaining, Bruce Willis is Legend.

Plot:
John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically
shutting down the United States.

miles more weird than Eraserhead I can tell you that
the Rabbits are in it

Shame I could only see it once while on the big screen in Germany.

DV doesn't look too ugly. I was expecting something like youtube video but it's not that bad.
When there are dark scenes the camera loses its focus for a while, but I guess that's something David Lynch enjoys (wants).

Still..35 mm is better imo, I can't imagine Mulholland Drive in shaky, grainy shape.

Good to hear, mate, thanks! I don't have issues with DV: SWIII, Collateral and Sin City were all shot in DV.

FreakyJim · 8th July 2007, 20:32

I'm not sure it's the same thing 'cause Sin City and SW3 are probably shot with some fancy HD cameras and regular ones too

as opposed to Lynch who's using only this tiny piece of shite

resolution: (480/60i) (source format)

Though it's very encouraging for the independent filmmakers (or the amateurs) because the camera costs around $4000 or something

cinc · 8th July 2007, 20:41

I don't know. All I know is that Lynch thought DV made the shootings to be spontanous. And that's good news

I know a couple people who own one of those and I've personally used them on a couple of shoots. It's a good starter HD camera. Doesn't have as many options as the big boy $100,00ish(after a few bells and whistles) Sony F900, but is good for smaller projects.

Spoonatov · 8th July 2007, 21:34

Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock. Brilliant. I thought it was a masterpiece.

mehro · 8th July 2007, 21:52

Yeah Rebecca was pretty good although the book is still better.

Spammy · 8th July 2007, 23:39

Shooter

Meh.

Is it that good?

MrBurns · 9th July 2007, 05:34

Watched 2 films tonight at work - not sure if they have been reviewed..

DeJaVu

Densel Washington

Plot: man goes back in to the past to stop a bombing

Next

Nicholas Cage

Plot: man sees into the future to stop a bombing.

Both actually very good films.
