On Film4 over the next week, watch out for Troll Hunter, The Host and The Hidden Fortress too Ben.

Also Red Hill looks interesting.

I've seen Troll Hunter. Definitely worth a watch but overall I thought it better in concept than execution. The rest look interesting, thanks for the heads up. I will try to set them to record tomorrow. Please post any time there's interesting film4 movies coming up, I don't get as much time to trawl the listings these days.

Will do Ben.

The Host is a Korean language b movie, not to be taken too seriously. It's not great, but better than Troll Hunter, and definitely worth watching.

The Hidden Fortress was the inspiration for the original Star Wars movie, and definitely worth watching.

Just Mr Duncan to go then. 😛oke:

Has anyone heard from him recently?

I've seen him contributing to other topics on the forum.

Too busy posting to watch films then. 🙂

Sorry, watched it today. There was prosecco involved though.

Among many other influences, Joseph Campbell's monomyth most notably.

I've been away, so a belated Merry Christmas to other members (and anyone else reading this post)!

Sightseers is on at 9pm on film4 on Boxing Day, quirky, dark British humour, well worth a watch.

I didn't like it at all Ben.

I had a couple of chuckles, but on the whole, it barely raised a smile on my face.

Oh dear! Can't win 'em all!

So everyone's watched it?

Shame, I was convinced I'd like it, but it became obvious quite quickly, that I wouldn't. I think I was being generous with the two chuckles, it was more like two semi-smiles.

It has been deleted.

They have indeed. :cheer:

So who wants to be the first to discuss the film?

I think it was JD's choice wasn't it, so it should be him. Saying that, we could be waiting for a while, so if you fancy kicking off Mike, feel free.

I'm going out soon, but I'll join in later.

Will be a little while before I can enter full discussion as am at the inlaws where the use of electronic devices is frowned upon in company (I am having a little private sit down :-|) but suffice to say I am feeling quite smug because I *loved* it.

Tzameti 13 or the private sit down...?

Does this mean that they ban the use of phones, radios, TVs etc. 🙂

Tasers are also frowned upon.

Depends on whether they are capable of playing Downton Abbey or only Fools And Horses.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I've seen 13 Tzameti a couple of times, though I didn't get round to watching it again this time.

Considering the obviously low budget, I think it's a great film. The tension during the game scenes is palpable, and although I didn't really like the ending, it only took the edge off my enjoyment of the film, rather than ruining it for me.

Then you aren't using them properly.

I watched Spanking The Monkey today, and within seconds of turning it on, I knew I'd seen it before.

Really good film, with a taboo subject matter, but well worth watching.

 

[BenLaw]

I haven't seen that film but I assume the subject matter is obvious. If you like that sort of taboo film then Choke is well worth a watch. Features the excellent Sam Rockwell, being excellent.

I don't think the subject matter is the same, Spanking The Monkey is mainly about the relationship between a mother and her son, though there is the occasional, but thwarted attempt at STM.

Choke does look quite entertaining though, so will keep an eye out for it.

If you like a film with taboos, then Visitor Q has every taboo, and much much more. :O

 

[BenLaw]

Ha, Visitor Q really does sound out there, added to the lovefilm list!

Be very careful with who you watch it with, it's definitely the most shocking film I've ever seen.

I spent most of the film with my mouth wide open. 🙂

 

[BenLaw]

I tend to watch most of my rental films on my own anyway, but this sounds like one to ensure no one walks in half way through!

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Just watched Red Hill, and I can honestly say, I wish I hadn't. It's so bad, it's bad.
