    I watched A Family Thing last night. Not my usual kind of thing but it had two of my favourite actors in it - Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones. Quite enjoyable in a no brainer sort of way..............

    No :heehee: Supposedly very good though.

    I watched a documentary film called Anton Corbijn Inside Out..................


    It is about the legendary photographer Anton Corbijn who is also a bloody good film directoras well. Despite having taken some of the most iconic images (including those of some of the most iconic people) of the late 20th and early 21st centuries he seems incredibly shy and insecure. And obsessive. Some example of his work;
    Miles Davis......................
    [​IMG]

    Keith Richards.................
    [​IMG]

    Ian Curtis which is a good example of his earliest work...............[​IMG]
    The trailer for his film about Joy Division, Control.................


    A music video for Nirvana................


    As you may have gathered I'm a fan!

      I watched a film called 'Kickass' :)
      I am not sure which age group it was aimed at, as some of it was quite violent.
      A very silly film, but it kept me watching till the end. Entertaining :)

          Never had you down as a Depeche Mode fan!
          You're right about that. Martin Gore gives Corbijn's work a lot of the credit for them finally being seen by the media as something other than an electro pop band.

            Yep, always have been, always will be :dbgrtmb:
            He is featured in some of the DM documentaries. I can't believe that they are still going after all those years, 'and' still producing quality work :blue thumb:
            Martin Gore :love30:

              Vince Clarke leaving was the best thing for both parties and allowed both parties to display their true genius in their very different chosen genres.

                  Watched The Elephant Man last night, mainly because Anthony Hopkins is one of my fave actors, brilliant, sad film.

                    An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him.

                      Last night I watched The John List Story, quite gruesome actually, but David Caruso is good.

                        He is really underrated Val.

                        I watched another musical documentary - Heima. It documents a series of free concerts that Sigur Ros did in their home country of Iceland............
