What are you watching tonight?

Watching a bit of Corpse Bride

Today I found the drawn 2010 Grand Final for only $13!
Now I want to go to another Target and buy another one.
It has the TV sound and two Radio stations call; but Triple M's one doesn't start until the bounce and it looks like quarter time and so on has no commentary through.

I also bought Gremlims 1 & 2 ($9 each ), Chappelle Show Season one ($16), and an anime dvd and Fifa World cup Preview DVD (2 for $12)

I saw three anime Dvds in a series (I've never watched an anime dvd, I just like buying things), I thought it would be good to buy it.
Then I found that there are 9 dvds and I really wanted it; which would be about $50. I was told not to, typing this now I think I want to buy it more; I shouldn't though.

I watched a Very Long Engagement.

Just very good.

Excellent acting. Nice production with several nods to the early days of film (to match the period of the events of the story). Clever, rather beautiful photography.

Moving and, amidst the tale of carnage and cruelty, in the end, life affirming.

I've some quibbles but absolutely none that would make me say anything other than watch it - it's a fine, fine movie.

In French, English subtitles.

Ooh I have that at home ATM too, courtesy of lovefilm.

Santa brought me the entire collection of red dwarf DVDs too, but haven't got round to watching much with all the lovely darts on!

[Lofthouse Lower]

Red Dwarf. Urgh. Utter shit

[General Mannerheim]

Now I like it even more!

Anyone watch the Dennis Priestley match? Corker!

So glad that you enjoyed it (almost) as much as I did, William, and I hope that you enjoy it equally, General.

Now then, I've been out spending.

Launched a sortie on HMV's sale and came home with these, all for £3 quid apiece, none of which I've yet seen (you know I'm a latecomer to this moving pictures malarkey )

So, and now added to The Great Unwatched pile are;

Sleepers
Jerry MaGuire
Taken
State of Play
Public Enemies
SweenyTodd
The Butterfly Effect (This is the only one that I'm unsure about, but hey, £3 quid of my money and an otherwise uninteresting Tuesday evening of my time - what the hell?

[boltonboris]

Sweeny Todd is the worst film I've ever seen. And I've seen some bad ones!

State of Play, Butterfly Effect and Jerry MaGuire are all very good.

Public Enemies, I know I've seen but I can't remember it!!

Taken is apparently excellent and I can't believe it's only £3 it's only came out at the flicks last year!!

[Bruce Rioja]

Sweeny Todd is the worst film I've ever seen. And I've seen some bad ones!

Well, let me watch it first, Boris, but already I've got Ocean's Twelve up my sleve and ready to play as my trump card.

FYI Gomorrah is on BBC4 tonight at 10pm. A superb film about the mafia in Naples.

[boltonboris]

Bruce, Honestly.. Don't watch it..

Please... I beg of you!

Have you ever heard of the book, "The Shadow of the Wind"? By Ruis Zafon?

Well I'm going to hunt down and burn, every last copy of that film!!

Starting tonight..

With yours

Aahh.. Nothing like a good mobster flick to get over the pain of a thumping!

Cheers for the heads up.. Think I'll record that!

[General Mannerheim]

Yeah Gomoorah is a guddun.

I liked sweeny Todd. Didn't like public enemies.

Taken is complete hokum, but thats not always a bad thing. It's very enjoyable, just don't apply logic!

Did you manage to finish this book bb?

I did 200 pages and just gave it up with a shrug - like it made time pass so slowly... and I'm hard-wired as a lover of books and Spanish culture and Barcelona to like this (in theory, at least)...

Damn. Missed this.

Read the book a while back, would have loved to have seen how the flick measured up

[Lofthouse Lower]

Ah good, thanks for that

[Bruce Rioja]

Have you ever heard of the book, "The Shadow of the Wind"? By Ruis Zafon?

Never, Buddy. Is it relevant to Sweeny Todd?

[P.O.S.]

Needed cheering up a bit so put on the last match at Burnden DVD not watched it for a while. Loving hearing the Wanderers fans sat in the away section giving the other Bolton fans stick after Charlton's goal, "you're not singing anymore!"...

[thebish]

Just watched SALT with the family - angelina-nutjob-jolie...

pure and unadulterated shite!

[William the White]

Do you ever spend a night just watching Emmerdale?

So, tonight I watched El Violin, my latest from the excellent Lovefilm.

A Mexican film from 2005, English subtitles, which opens with a ghastly, disturbing torture scene as the title sequence. It carries on with a story of peasant resistance to an authoritarian government - rape, murder and uprising follow.

In the central story an elderly grandfather finds a way of smuggling ammunition to his insurgent comrades in a violin case. This is very, very good, powerful, disturbing.

Rich Hall on BBC2 - raised a few grins.
