What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[Justin101]

I watched Arrietty and Home Alone 2 last night so a bit of weird one for me as I'd usually settle down to something more horrific

Arrietty is beautiful as you'd expect a Ghibli film to be, we watched in English because I was too tired and wanted to concentrate on the animation - I was pleasantly surprised to find the voice cast was British rather than 'Hollywood' like on all other Ghibli dubs. It's just a shame that the actual story was too plain for me - since it was based on a childrens book (The Borrowers) it didn't really have the Ghibli subtext and themes that you'd usually find. Some outstanding set pieces and scenes - but a boring story!

I've seen Home Alone 2 before, you all have - it's great.

Kevin McCallister: Howdy do. This is Peter McCallister, the father. I'd like a hotel room please, with an extra large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key. Credit card? You got it.

Cedrick the Bellman: Do you know how the TV works?
Kevin McCallister: I'm 10-years-old. TV is my life.

Seemed plenty enough for me, bit tamer than the first one but it still works.

I assume they're discs you've yet to watch as opposed to films you've never seen at all?

I watched Copycat on More 4 last night, I only watched it on DVD for the umpteenth time the other week, but I decided to watch it anyway as it's one of my favourite thrillers from the last 20 years.

Followed it with the Shameless DVD of Torso, first time I've watched it in about 2 years, excellent Giallo with plenty of red herrings, lots of nudity and some great kills

I'm sure I read or heard the DVD and BD contain the 'uncut version', which is why they are rated 15, whereas the theatrical version was a 12A, with most of the severe violence toned down.

I've seen most of them, but not all. For example, I've only seen half a dozen (at most) of those in the Woody Allen collection.
