Ink
I just watched this movie:
Dark fantasy with a touch of sci fi, dream world and good and bad...
Loved it!
And the soundtrack, the image?
fuckin' excellent to put it mildly

Re: Ink
Never even heard of it.
Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: Ink
it reminds me of donnie darko but without the teenage angst and more straightforward screen play, so yes I'd buy it now that I've seen it, which is a sign of quality in my booknampigai wrote:it looks worth buying.

Re: Ink
Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies!
Nightwatch (if were talking about the same) is actually based on a danish movie. I never saw the american version, but the danish was ok...sort of.

Do not be quick to reveal judgment. Hidden judgment is often more potent. It can guide reaction whose effects are felt only when too late to divert them.

Re: Ink
Aahhh - I must say you had me puzzled on how Donnie Darko and Nightwatch could be a good mix ^^ - the one I was thinking of is this one - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119791/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
again I haven't seen the american version, but if it follows the danish version it's ok - and 6.2 is actually a bit high ( then again I had IMBD - movies is a matter of taste and some people tend to "like" movies, because they get good ratings on IMBD - sheeps!)
I’ve actually looked at "your" Nightwatch" several times when I’ve passed it in blockbuster – perhaps I should give it a try. For now I'll go for "Ink" - for some unexplainable reason - "jacobs ladder" keeps popping up in my head!

Re: Ink
in fact now you mention it I think i did see that Nightwatch with our world famous Obi wan lol but can't remember none of it
Ink is really eerie, like an old tale or myth, the sort of story for kids that's too scary for them, that's if I'm making any sense here(and also without spoiling it's tough)
Jacob's ladder I need to see again, as for nightwatch(vampires)it was supposed to be in 3 instalments but I haven't checked where they stand for now
edit:
I do not trust critics on Imdb but most of the time you can sort of guess who's closest to your opinion by the way they write, and at present I've got time to kill at work so I don't mind taking my time to pick a movie

Anyway let me know what you think of Ink when you watched it!

Night Watch (Russian Nochnoi Dozor) is a good 'un - worth a gander for surenampigai wrote:I’ve actually looked at "your" Nightwatch" several times when I’ve passed it in blockbuster – perhaps I should give it a try.
They made a sequel called Day Watch which I actually bought on DVD a while back but haven't gotten around to watching... yet. The third film (probably called Dusk Watch) is going to be an American film - same Russian director, but an English language sidequel. Yeah - sounds a bit shit, and they haven't made it yet.
Heard of this Ink film ages ago and never since. Might have to give it a looksee.

I watched Nightwatch long ago and kind of liked it. I have Daywatch on DVD too. bought it when a local rental outlet went tits up a year or so ago. Also got a non-BSG SF movie with girl-Starbuck. That looks like crap, but Daywatch looks a'ight.

Re: Ink
yup Daywatch's pretty good, a right change from the usual hollywood vampire treatment, which doesn't sound too good for the sequel though...
