Subject: What Films Have You Recently Watched? Sun 28 Oct 2007, 4:16 pm

I'm not well known for having a great taste in films, but I have recently watched a Japanese movie called Battle Royale. Set in a society on the verge of collapse the government decide that the only way to get respect from the youths is to randomly select a class and force them to kill each other on a deserted island over the space of three days. It was very violent but almost comically so. I was not sure whether it would be good or bad....but I kind of liked it.

What are you guys watching?

I've got the sequel, it's not as tongue in cheek as the first, takes itself very seriously. In the film, Japan is the victim of a 9/11 style terrorist attack, and a group of students are coerced into attacking a terrorist group's hideout on a deserted island and kill the leader.

It's okay, but I prefer the first film.

Name that film:

'If Butch goes to Indo-China, I want a nigger hiding in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass.'

Yep, it is.

Last film I watched was Hallowe'en, last night. Picked it up in town at the weekend. I've got Pumpkinhead sitting waiting to be watched (for the first time in like 10 years!). Think before that was the Evil Deads. Twisted Evil

I haven't seen Battle Royale in a few years now, but it was a superb film! Been meaning to pick up the original book (not the manga) and give that a go. Tried reading the book of Ringu after seeing the film, but I couldn'seem to get past the first or second chapter before I got a little bored Laughing

Might try and give it another go.

Halloween, a timeless classic Very Happy

I love the Evil Dead films too, especially Army of Darkness which was very funny.

The only two films I have seen recently are two reruns: the first Hellraiser movie and Ed Wood.
Love the Cenobytes, they truly give away an impression of immense otherwordly evil.
To think that Clive Barker was able to accomplish such a feat on less what a major Hollywood production spends on catering really makes you think...
I have always loved these low-budget masterpieces: they really show that when you have genius (Peter Jackson, David Lynch etc) sitting behind the camera big money doesn't matter...
Ed Wood is probably the best Tim Burton movie. It's a fan movie made for weirdos by Captain Weirdo himself. It has a superb cast giving a tremendous performance. It's still one of my favorites.

Mauro, I've seen bits of Ed Wood, and from what I remember it was really quite wacky as wacky could only be done by Mr Burton. Funny, I've got Plan 9 from Outer Space sitting in the house here to be seen... along with The Crawling Eye.

I wondered why I was having trouble finding Army of Darkness on DVD Evil or Very Mad

"Gimme some sugar baby" Laughing

Shop smart, shop S-Mart, YOU GOT THAT!? Laughing

I've thought about buying the Book of the Dead edition, for all the awesome extras that come with it. In the US, you get BOTD edition for Evil Dead 2 as well!
