3 more films seen

So continuing in my ‘not romantic’ category, another 3.
Natural Born Killers. This is becoming better each time I see it. Some of the imagery loses me but it’s one I could watch again (and again).

True Romance. Seen for the first time last night while working. I got it from HMV - one of these “You’ve spent over 20 quid have one of these for a couple”. Loved it. Really want to watch this again. Great cast, it caught my attention several times to the detriment of the answer I was typing (everyone did get answered by 11pm when support closes so it’s not holding things back in the slightest - I start earlier. Just like tonight).

Green Street. I knew there would be echoes of I.D. in this but this is by far the better film for me. Much harder, more real. I have Animal Factory as another to still be seen which is compared to this on the dvd cover.

So no disappointment there at all. Syriana and Blood Diamond joined the ‘to be watched’ list. And I need to buy Pink Floyd’s The Wall again on DVD - or blu-ray. A new TV we ordered a couple of months ago is being delivered next week (I think) and if ever a film needed a big screen, it’s The Wall. Might save Brazil and Apocalypto for that too.

Checking the films that I call ‘mine’ I do actually really have a romantic type of film. Family Man. One downstairs (so it’s more J’s than mine) which I like is It Could Happen To You. And of course I class Leon as being all about love.

    • Green Street was alright, but Football Factory was way, way better. And Blood Diamond is well worth a watch, if you can get past DiCaprios annoying South African accent. You should watch Hotel Rwanda as well.

    • Boondock Saints for sure! I still adore the concept of those veritas/aequitas tattoos and if it wasn’t so corny, I’d have incorporated them into one of my own by now.

      I agree with the idea of Leon as a love film though, and I still haven’t seen this uncut edition you’re in posession of - where is it from?

    • Leon is the uncut international version. It’s the US import I have I think - no clue when I got it.

      Boondock Saints - I’ll look out for it, along with the Winter Sun one :)

Think. Then type.
