Also downloading Seven Samurai at the mo.

Mehro have you seen Inland Empire yet? a few downloads on mininova, not sure if they're dubbed into Italian, though. The 4.3gb one I dowloaded was in Italian!

you'll love Seven Samurai.

Only 3 weeks till the english IE dvd is out.

Can't wait to see both really.

And what did you think of Visitor Q?

Spoonatov · 24th July 2007, 22:28

Ghost in the Shell - Brilliant.

Scanned part 2. . .and it's jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

Spoonatov · 25th July 2007, 11:30

Happiness of the Katakuris. Horror/comedy/musical. . . suffice to say I didn't like it at all.

Mikke, that was just plain wrong.

James Parkin · 25th July 2007, 12:12

Evan Almighty - Hillarious

mehro · 25th July 2007, 14:07

Anyone seen The Devil came on Horseback? A documentary on on Darfur.

Some here might enjoy this.

The idea behind the recently launched "Trailers from Hell" website is simple and fun. Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, there's a new video segment in which a renowned movie director comments over one of their favorite b-movie / exploitation / grindhouse flick trailers. Lots of personal memories, inspiration revelations -- it's like having a beer with a filmmaker whose work you dig, and fessing up about crappy movies you're both ashamed to admit loving.

Definitely watch the one on The House on Haunted Hill.

Small Paul · 25th July 2007, 23:53

simpsons.

some v.funny bits, a bit short though.

6.5/10

Small Paul · 25th July 2007, 23:54

oh the prestige is an excellent film by the way.

reelworld · 26th July 2007, 10:25

Bought these dvds on lunch break:
- Freedom Writers (Hillary Swank and Patrick Dempsey)
- Idiocracy (Luke Wilson)
- Hot Fuzz
- The Fountain
- Disturbia
- Shooter
- The Last King of Scotland
- Breach
- Charlotte's Web
- Bridge to Terabithia
- Goal 2
- History Boys

Oh and btw Spoony, you know that Haneke is going to directed the american version of Funny Games? Interesting to know that will turn out, seeing he's the director of the original version.

Spoonatov · 26th July 2007, 11:11

Yeah. Funny Games was alright. . . I was a bit disappointed if I'm honest. Second half was the best. . .and I liked(spoiler) the scene straight after the child was killed, but I didn't see the point of them talking into the camera. . . and the part where he rewinded the action. Pointless.

Spoonatov · 26th July 2007, 11:28

Seventh Seal - Brilliant. Very accessible too. Some brilliant cinematography to go with the obvious questions about the meaning of life.

Spoonatov · 26th July 2007, 21:47

Fuck off. I've downloaded another dubbed version of Inland Empire.

I feel like crying.

Spammy · 27th July 2007, 02:53

Wibble · 27th July 2007, 03:13

Pretty In Pink After really enjoying watching Some Kind Of Wonderful a few weeks ago I was looking forward to watching this again but it was a huge let down. With the exceptiuon of James Spader the acting wasn't that great and even the soundtrack was dull except for the title track by Phycadelic Furs. You can see why Molly Ringwald didn't go on to be an A list adult actor. 3/10

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 10:45

In the Mood for Love - As close to art as you'll get on screen. My first film by Kar Wai Wong, but it's clear he's an artist. Every scene was well composed, by this I mean aesthetically. . . almost painting like. I also loved his use of music. . . in fact it was so beautifully done, that you could easily turn it off, put some classical music on and still enjoy it. Aside from the brilliant cinematography, it was brilliantly acted and well paced. . . sure it was slow, but it was still thoroughly engrossing, in fact hypnotic would be a more suitable word. (oh and I loved the way you almost felt like a voyeur, due to the long shots. . .looking through doorways, ends of corridors etc etc)

Beautiful film.

Indeed.

There's more work of the computers but it's still Manga.

Doesn't he scan models in or something?

I've also got Appleseed. I've only watch a few minutes of it. . .but I love the backdrops, not too keen on the cell animation, though.

Phenomenal movie. Shame 2046 wasn't as good.

Not seen it yet.

also. . . 2046 was the number on the hotel room door(ITMFL). What does it signify?

And have you seen Dolls yet?

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 13:50

Ole. . . you're only 24??

How the hell have you managed to watch all those films?

When I started as a self employed person I wasn't working that much, so I managed to watch about 3-5 films a day. In 2004 I watched over 1000 movies. How old are you?

33. . . going on 15.

A 1000 movies. Fucking Hell. That's amazing. . . you are my hero. That said, at 24 I doubt I could've watched some of the film you've seen(and that I've seen recently). Solyaris for example. . . no chance.

Reckon you and Cinc have probably seen the most films on here.

I want to be a director so what better way to figure out what I should be doing then watching everything I can get my hands on.

I'd love to make films and all. I agree, nothing better than watching films by the best directors. I was stunned at how good In the Mood for Love was for example. . . I'd love to direct something like that.

olesmyhero · 27th July 2007, 14:11

Unfortunately you have to sift through bad shit when you watch 1000 in a year.

Spoonatov · 27th July 2007, 14:16

Seen Sonataine by Kitano?
