Aphra Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm looking for a couple of good movies to watch in the last week of my holiday, before I go back to school. Anyone seen anything decent out in the last year, maybe earier? Watched Disturbia last night but didn't manage to finish it before I started feeling tired. (it was also kinda freaking me out) Eagle vs Shark was cool, watched that over the weekend. kinda similar to Napoleon Dynamite So... Any suggestions..? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I hired out Disturbia recently, and what do ya know, the fucking DVD was scratched about 1/4 of an hour before the end of the movie! ARGH! I returned it, but it was pretty late at night, so I had to drop it in the little return-chute thing at the video store. I went back a couple of days later to complain about the scratching (hoping to get a free vid-rental out of it)... but the fucking video store had shut down for good! ARGH! Still dont know how it ended... damnit!!! Ummm, movie recommendations? Uhh.... shit... uuuuummm.... nope, I have none, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makky2 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 also highly recommend "Perfume". based on that famous book called "Perfume". set in midevil france, about a guy who literally seduces people with these perfumes he creates. umm yeah its a lot better than it sounds. the final scenes are pretty nuts. i saw it in the new release shelves at video ezy last week.

Yes I saw this in the shelves too. Have heard good things about the book and was keen to maybe have a read first but prob won't get around it tbh. Cool, I've got a nice little list here in my notebook Cheers guys And yes, the new David Lynch! Inland Empire... was going to see this at the film festival but it clashed with another movie I was keen on seeing. Am going to check it at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
