it's not bad, not bad at all. i've followed the coen's work ever since their seminal 'blood simple'... they lost it a bit with 'ladykillers' and 'intolerable cruelty' [they should know better than to remake an ealing comedy, ffs], but seem back on form now.

the ending gave me a bit of a double-take. i was expecting more.

did you grab the one with the good aspect ratio?

Is this a cam quality? Assume so as its so new but sometimes you get the screeners.

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:35 pm

I have so most codecs installed, so i have a choice of full sceen or widescreen. Even in full screen i don`t loose any of the sides as the codec stretches it.

I don`t d/load camcorder versions, just rips and screeners for me :wink:

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:37 pm

I can watch/convert to widescreen or full screen with no loss on the sides of vid

I don`t d/load camcorders, just rips or screeners :wink:

uncle paul · **Posted:** Thu Jan 24, 2008 5:19 pm

heh. i usually wait for the screener, or go for the R5.

there's two versions of 'no country...' out, one with the correct aspect ratio [16/9] and one with slight cropping to all sides [2.35/1]. both are screeners. there's also a cam out, but why grab a cam when there's screeners about?

I made the mistake of getting a couple of cams once and never again! Spoilt it. Haven't looked for anything lately so when I next look I should be spoilt for choice! :wink:

Did recently d/l a few films for the Ipod. Amazing quality! Very impressed. Never could see the use for vid on the new Ipod Nanos until I got lumbered taking the kids to parties and had to sit there listening to other kids mums nattering away! Now I can just plug myself into a film. :lol:

Same here, never watcha cam again. Last time i watched a cam, some twat got up for the audience and blocked my view :lol:

Hitman is worth watching and striaght after i watched The Brave One. I like most of jodie foster`s films and i rate this film too

Theres a copy of `The Golden Compass` screener on mininova.org :wink:

Trailer

uncle paul · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2008 7:01 pm

think i'll give the golden compass a wide berth. it's another case of the film not being true to the book... but for a straightforward hour and a half of eye-candy, go for it.

talking of eye candy, i see 'hitman' is now available.

we had a few films on last night:

the young poisoners handbook
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115033/

snakeskin
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244803/

and wierdsville
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758798/

poisoners handbook was the best of the lot; snakeskin ended up being a sub-hitcher / dust devil road movie with me not caring for any of the characters, and wierdsville was just stoner dross.

up tonight is 'storm', a swedish matrix clone, and probably hitman. report later.

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2008 8:18 pm

i thought hitman was ok and i also watched weirdsville last week, i thought it was funny some of the shit that they got into :lol:

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2008 8:27 pm

I can`t find any info on the film `Storm` ??? got any details ?

If u have torrent link, could u send via email. Don`t post it on here or we will be breaking the forum rules and we might lose this site :shock:

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Sat Jan 26, 2008 8:29 pm

no worries paul, i`ve just found it, its a 2005 movie, no wonder i couldn`t find it :lol:

Kingy · **Joined:** Tue Oct 23, 2007 12:08 pm **Posts:** 34

Have Hitman and No Country for Old Men sorted and ready to watch when I get chance. 8)
Oh, and Bee Movie aswell ... its for the kids ... honest! :wink:

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Mon Jan 28, 2008 6:30 pm

The golden compass is a kids movie too

bit like the harry potter films

uncle paul · **Posted:** Mon Jan 28, 2008 7:54 pm

some kids movies are okay... have you seen svankmajer's alice? sure fire way to give any kid nightmares...

watched hitman. it was pants. didn't realise it was based on a computer game. character development? wot's that then?

storm wasnae too good either, and i managed to stay awake for nearly all of it. some good bits, but it figures as an also-ran.

not watching anything for a few days, but i have the following lined up:
four months three weeks and two days
crime and punishment [aki kaurismaki does hamlet]
everything's gone green [douglas copeland]
les amants du pont-neuf [classic!]

'ils' looks good. not out yet though. french horror.

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Thu Jan 31, 2008 9:47 pm

Just watched Aliens Vs Predator Requiem

I liked :twisted:

Pregnant women advised not to watch this movie unless they want nightmares :shock:

Bloody hell! I've still not had time/chance to watch Hitman and No Country For Old Men! :lol:

Saw a poster for Jumper in Manchester on the way to the footie on Wednesday. They are advertising it as a mix between The Bourne Ultimatum and The Matrix. Does look interesting.

`21` fairly good film

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRzZX2aN3I0

uncle paul · **Posted:** Wed May 21, 2008 8:02 am

had a go with the bank job. not bad! jason statham continues to surprise me if not with the roles he accepts, then with the ability he seems to play them.

been steadily replacing my tatty vhs collection with dvd's. my most recent was the aeon flux animated boxset: outstanding. witty, surreal, inventive, and just that bit kinky...

[rec] was excellent. highly recommended spanish zombie horror.

[rec]

ils had an interesting mix of scifi and horror, but i couldn't help but think we've been there before.

ils

night of the sunflowers. recommended. more subtitles tho'!

night of the sunflowers

i picked up an interesting short by jeunet [amelie, delicatessen etc] called foutaises. echoes of his later full-length films are in evidence here.

foutaises

a classic by john huston, wise blood. interesting trawl thru the underbelly of american preachers.

wise blood

and an old, typically bonkers film called the falls by peter greenaway. can be a bit tedious and repetetive, but proper laugh-out-loud funny all the same.

the falls

currently working through a dozen or so shorts by veit helmer.

Ridge Rider · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2008 6:18 pm

uncle paul · **Posted:** Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:46 am

i sat through mutant chronicles last saturday night. surprised i managed to stay awake...

but fell asleep watching zmurki, a russian gangster flick. quite brutal, but didn't manage to hold my attention.
roulette scene on youtube

not surprising really, after a good days' riding.
