What was the last DVD you bought and why?

Nicole is great in it. full stop. what an actress. bouche bee, like we say in froggish, is how i stay. wow is another word for it, without the fine nuances though.

It's sitting on my coffee table as I type this and I'm thinking that I could have bought 10 Mayfair lights instead...

I'll try and give it a fair chance this time, but honestly thought it was contrived rubbish - on the one and a half times I've watched it.

Ok Stu I'll try to defend it with a little substance. The atmosphere is key. The sparse set enhances the isolated, desolate feel of the town tenfold and the voiceover narration gives it a fairytale feel. All of these and other factors combine together to sweep you up into this world. The cast of characters are all very interesting in their own right and the simple production highlights the fantastic performances. For me the film just made me feel everything Nicole Kidman felt as she struggled through her time in Dogville. It is painful, charming, sad, sweet and beautifully atmospheric. And yes, the photography/cinematography and especially the lighting are gorgeous. I may not be one of the eminent Mofolars that Tacitus is talking about, but I highly support this film!

Elizabeth was a good price so I bought it. I like Geoffery Rush in just about anything.

The last DVD Movies I bought was the Jurasic Park Trilogy. I ebayd it and thought I got a good price but it turned out to be some Asian thing with no hard cases for the movies themselves, just clear sleeves with the discs in a box. Does any one know where I can get the cover art work (maybe a printable format) I can buy the hard cases myself.

A guilty pleasure...

Hey it's got Christopher Walken in it, always watchable, even in very doddgy films.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?

It's not a fantastic movie but Walken and Viggo Mortensen (Lucifer) look like they had great fun camping around as angels. I hadn't seen it in 8 or 9 years.

To be honest I haven't seen it before, but it's a 2-disc special collectors edition of what I understand to be possibly the best western of all time; and it was frickin' $7.50!

Ex-rental, £5.99, 2 discs, couldn't turn it down.

Just recieved " Ruthless People " and the Rolling Stones Documentary " Gimmie Shelter ". It's supposed to be the greatest music documentary, looking forward to it, and will do a review once I've watched it.
Also rented " Stander " with Thomas Jane, so, I've my work cut out, got to love you and leave you my fellow Mofos, a boy's gotta do.....

Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Don't know about the "greatest", but definitely one of the most interesting and memorable, of course because of the infamous death at Altamont when the Hell's Angels, supposedly there for security, went into the crowd with knives and chains and started a bit of a riot - all captured on film. But yeah, good music from the Stones, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, and a good look at the darker excesses of the lifestyle as the decade was winding down. And if you have a copy of the Criterion edition of the flick (though probably not in Scotland you don't), some great extras abound as well.


But for my money The Last Waltz (1978 - Scorsese) is the best Rock & Roll documentary ever made, centered around the farewell concert of The Band with a roster of guest stars including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters and many others.

Man, no spoilers alerts!!!!
Already knew what happened, got the Criterion edition from Amazon, from the US, it's not availiable on Region 2.
Will do a review once I've watched it, will look out for The Last Waltz, cheers for the recommendation.

Anonymous Last told me to drop in ...

Brotherhood of the Wolf

After seeing it on Showcase(Canadian version of Showtime and HBO) I was intrigued by it to the point where I needed to watch it again, I wasn't dissapointed.
