Last movie you've watched - Page 30

Wild Zero - A B-rate Japanese zombie flick. I didn't like this one at all. It's supposed to be made cool by the real Japanese punk band Guitar Wolf but the music is irritating and most times it doesn't even fit the scene; like the director was trying to get as much music in as possible. The zombies were horrible. Their behavior depended on how close main characters were. If someone was close, they stood there. If someone was away, they would actually walk. And the spacecraft...?

Wizard of Darkness - A passable Japanese flick about witches. Some decent Japanese lesbian action and a fair amount of gore.

Easily swayed, huh?

Asians? Check
Witches? Check
Gore? Check
Asian Witches Engaged in Gory Acts - Check

Back from my tangent:

I saw Funny Games, the shot-for-shot remake. It's quite good, equally so to the original I feel. Uncomfortable to an extent, but pretty good. Audiences dislike it when viewer-participation conventions are broken and this movie does that.

I was more intrigued by the Lesbian witch sex factor... heh

I only said it was decent action.

metal_wrath · April 2nd, 2008, 11:01 PM

just got it in the mail.

I will watch and post a review

I just finished watching Father Ted (Season 2) on DVD. Some very good comedy.

derek · April 3rd, 2008, 10:22 AM

Father Ted is absolutely brilliant. Shame it ended prematurely.

lad · April 3rd, 2008, 05:16 PM

Did it? I thought they'd already wrapped the 3rd season, and had no further plans at the time.

Ach well, classic show alright. I remember speaking to some priests who said the West Coast Catholics they met were not far removed from the show's portrayal(s).

derek · April 4th, 2008, 07:48 AM

Indeed, I think you're right. I simply mean that it should have run for longer. It had another season in it easily.

My mother comes from around that area. One of the reasons the show worked so well is because some people are genuinely like that. The crew that made the show were mostly Irish, so they knew those people and those institutions. Every bit of the show had roots somewhere.

lad · April 4th, 2008, 08:36 PM

Hahah, aye. Further proof was when I saw Ardal a few months back, he told an anecdote regarding some fellow who tried to file suit against the makers for supposedly plagiarising his personality in Father Jack's character ("Why the fuck would ye claim to be like Father Jack?!").

Movies...Red Heat - good buddy-cop flick where Belushi and Ahnuld compliment each other in a lightly humorous way.

derek · April 4th, 2008, 08:57 PM

Yus! I saw Red Heat too! Actually I saw it on Wednesday AND Thursday on ITV4! I love that movie. I'm moving to Russia soon and I've heard it's a figure of fun there for being absolutely terrible.

I saw Son of Rambow today. Immensely enjoyable movie. So similar to Be Kind Rewind it's curious though. I can't recommend it to the usual crowd here, but it's an excellent movie.
