not really a film but it was a two parter bbc 1 other nights..........sea of souls ........ good stuff.
Once - a low budget musical was featured on the cutting edge news channel that is the BBC. It looks like a classic show in the British sense, even though it's Irish. Has anyone seen this, and what's it really like?
I have some films you must see. The Long Good Friday Monty Pythons Life of Brian Monty Pythons The Holy Grail The Godfather Goodfellas Edward Scissorhands Tim Burtons: The Nightmare before Christmas Romeo + Juliet (Yes, seriously, the best bit's when Leonardo di Caprio dies ha)
Hmm, let's see: The Matrix (but not the sequels, they suck) La Haine (French film about racial tension in the suburbs of Marseille) Sicko - Michael Moore's new film about the American health care system. We come off very favourably in it Brazil - don't get the theatrical release, get the director's cut. The publisher basically changed the ending completely for the American release, pissed Terry Gilliam off no end.
Yes I've seen this. It's quite a charming little piece really, an unconsummated romance in the style of Brief Encounter/Lost in Translation. If you've seen the Commitments, the main character is seen busking in Dublin's Grafton Street at the end of that movie, and it seems he's still there 15 years on at the start of this one...
Highlander; avoid star wars but i would recommend return of the jedi for safekeeping (although in fact all of them are fab); Hercules the cartoon; Thor (v. rare); Lord of War, Last Samurai; Kingdom of Heaven; Pulp Fiction; Arahan; The Blade Trilogy... ...to name but a few of my particular favourites
New at the cinema, the new Coen Brothers film No Country for Old Men. If you get a chance to see this film jump at it it, or something. A return to "Blood Simple" straight drama type territory for the boys Coen. Absolutely brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WqpMp4cQnQ&feature=related
Edward Scissorhands. Though this is an old film (1990). It features Johnny Depp at his best. Imagine having scissors for hands. How could you......
Dead Mans Shoe's is one of my favorites. Watch "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" It's an old one from 1965 and it's trippy as hell! You have to see this movie!
Dead mans shoes is great ("Are you the devil?"...). Really liked This is England. Shane Meadows certainly knows his dark corners of British small town culture. Anyone seen A rRoom for Romeo Brass?
Yes, I watched it after having seen Dead Man's Shoes and This is England, it's very different but also intriguing I'm a big fan of Paddy Considine too I still need to dig out Shane Meadows' earlier stuff and watch it.
a very funny one is "Walk Hard"... it's about this guys road to success in showbizz and it really cracked me up the beatles and elvis all make appearances in the film... I will say no more! anyway, here's the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOAHoW-RBI
I recently saw Little Miss Sunshine, it was so good, very dark and satirical, but incredibly funy. Oh and Dwayne's cute
