Colin M Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Went to see Crash tonight (not the David Cronenberg one!) Liked it, it is similar in structure to Magnolia and Traffic in that it introduces various characters of different backgrounds, and eventually their lives overlap. Mostly about racial attitudes in LA, characters are black cop, racist white cop, white DA, two black hoodlums, hispanic locksmith and Persian shopkeeper. And a chinaman. Interesting to see how their attitudes change as the film goes on, down to the scenarios that arise. It's more to the point than Magnolia. Overall quite impressed, well worth watching IMO. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm going to watch "The Driller Killer" purchased for £1 from PoundLand... What's the odds this is shite?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 That's half an hour gone, no sign of a drill yet, apart from a guy drilling a hole in a door. Although a wee lesbian shower scene has kept the interest going... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 0/10, I know its a cult classic but come on - there has to be a limit between "cult" and "shite". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the persians main story line, (trying not to give it away here) it was interesting to see the attitude that people called him a b*****d in the cinema (out loud) but not thinking why he was persuaded to do what he did. I thought the black hoodlums were funny too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I watched 'Taking Lives' last night with Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke. Could have been a whole lot better, Angelina played quite a quirky character but the plot twist was soo obvious. Oliver Martinez was good as a French Canadian cop. 5/10, would have been 4 but an extra point for the gorgeous Miss Jolie getting her kit off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Watched the original Dutch version of "The Vanishing" (Spoorloos in Dutch) on DVD It's way superior to the cack Hollywood remake mainly, but not entirely, due to the ending. Channel 4 show it from time to time, try to catch it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Biz Markie's cameo in the second Men in Black film..... Is it worth starting a thread on this? I won't be satisfied til I've seen every film with LL Cool J in it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwick Davis makes these movies, so the rest of the cast just need to play their parts reasonably well to make them funny! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 That film with Tupac and Tim Roth was good! Ice T is also in Law and Order:SVU which is no a bad show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Narc was good, I haven't seen the other ones... I only watch horror usually, unless I'm bored and there's something on Sky Movies... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
