What DVD have you just watched?

Borat; was expecting it to be excruciating, but have to say it was done pretty well. I defy anyone not to laugh at the wrestling scene, albeit for some, reluctantly.

January 2006 some twit wrote:

'Inspector Morse 33 Episodes/DVDS &£69 from amazon.co.uk were surprisingly excellent watched over 5 days.

Having started off at beginning of 1987 Episode 1 with Rega RB300 on (?Logic? DM101 deck?- Episode about 'Richards Research Audio') he tended to favour cassettes (car use) before eventually in final 33rd 2000 episode showing us for the first time a CD - he had in between seemed to have JVC system then Yamaha stack.

Stereo sound on DVDs commenced in 23rd Episode/DVD. I won't mention the women/alcohol, although he favoured Wagner and thought Vivaldi is just for enjoyment. The sound/picture-quality/presentation of the DVDs is IMO fine/excellent apart from in the final 33rd Episode comical consultant surgeon badly miming church solo to a Faure Requiem piece.'

Same twit - me - coincidentally noticed that in 1st 'LEWIS' episode of 3 (there was a broadcast pilot January 2006) 'Those whom the Gods ...' broadcast Sunday 18th February 2007 ITV 1 that the villain is a rogue called LINN.

The fact that the proaganda in 24 is so obvious rather neutralises it. For heaven's sake lighten up.

The Departed - a friend of mine lent it to me. I must admit I was ambivalent about this one since I'm not much of a gangster movie man. That said, I thought it was very very good indeed. My wife was disappointed by the relatively abrupt ending which kind of came too quickly, even though this is a long film.

Is it worth Best Film? I don't know since I haven't seen the contenders, but it is a very good film.

Captains Courageous: Spencer Tracey. Great family film.

Roman Holiday: Gregory Peck & Audrey Hepburn. Romantic comedy/drama - saved from being too saccharine by a well judged ending. Not one I will re-watch.

Tonight The Devil Wears Prada ,the other half got it as a gift. she loved it. My turn tomorrow Capote.munch

L'Appartement.

the black dahlia, and children of men,i found both to be average sort of films, worth a browse.

"Flyboys". Got it from Amazon in the US. Good aerial shots: I actually read the novel on which it is based which was, not surprisingly, better. Still, a good "boy" film!

I think the first Morse episode "Independent HiFi manufacturer gone bad" and the first Lewis episode "Independent car manufacturer gone bad" has basically the same plot. Or?

Morse also had Naim amps in the first episode.

Was there not a mission tt in Morse?munch

Angel-A. Excellent French film starring a model with the longest legs in history.

"George Of The Jungle!" Perhaps it is one joke for its whole length, but it made me laugh earlier on!

ATB from Fredrik

George is a top top film.

Cing Fois Deux (5 x 2).
Good modern love story, told in reverse.

OK, promise not to tell my male friends:

I saw 'The devil where's Prada' and it was very good indeed! Done with humor and, of course, very good acting by Meryl Streep.

I actually had a boss (male) once that wasn't far from Meryl Streep's character in the movie. He never raised his voice yet everybody was dead frightened of him! After a couple of years he made some over smart career decissions and dissapeared from the scene...

The Manchurian Candidate, (Denzel Washington remake). I really liked it, and as several people have told me that the original is better I've added that to the wish list.

Unless you've seen it already, you should put 'Man On Fire' on your list if you like Denzil Washington.

Try and obtain the full bit dts version of Man on Fire from Japan. Its a cracker of a soundtrack.

Capote. Thoroughly brilliant film and tremendous acting from all involved.

Thoroughly brillant film.Yes the book was a great read the first time in 1975 and again last week. went back to my youth.In Cold Blood, was one of those books you could not put down. what a film .I dont no your age but if you want to see Capote in a film , the man himself.Get a copy of Murder by Death. Its a whodunnit ,a very very very good film.Done in his last years with all the drug stuff going on .He was a book man not a film man.

Lord Of Wars [Nick Cage]. A couple of days ago and still resonating in my mind. Very sad film. ATB From Fredrik

quote:

Lord Of Wars

Ridiculous film. I found it quite amusing...

"It's All Gone." I heard about this film about twelve months ago and I have just managed to see it earlier. A Film about anyone connected with music going profoundly deaf is likely to be sad, but ther is a good deal of humour, if some of it rather black in the middle stages, here to stop this becoming maudlin.

Glad I saw it. Fredrik

departed, i thought is was a pretty good film, only had the reg 3 sd version, had a dts soundtrack but very little coming from the rears, to add to mikes comments not sure if it was a copy of internal affairs as i have not seen that.

Twilight Samurai. Hightly recommended for those who are familiar with the Japanese culture.
