Weird Films

My main work colleague, Sebastian, often brings his laptop into work during our night shifts so that we have something to do during the hours of boredom. But the choice of films is iften weird. A few weeks ago we watched a Portuguese film, Alice, though unfortunately the film crashed so we never saw the conclusion, which was incredibly annoying!
The other day we watched a Korean film (with subtitles) called Oldboy, interesting but extremely weird and a bit disturbing.
Last night we watched 2 films, the first was a Japanese film called Battle Royale (again with subtitles) which was about a class of Japanese students kidnapped to an island and forced to kill each other until just one remains! Again, not a brilliant film but it passed the time.
We also watched a British film, 9 Songs which wasn't I didn't enjoy as it seemed to be just a poor excuse for porn. It starred an actor that I recognised, but just couldn't think where from. He was sort-of attractive, but appears a bit short for my tastes. His body is quite good and after watching the sex scenes which became more and more explicit, it became obvious that he has a very nice cock. The sex scenes went from some shots of him biting the woman's nipples all the way through to him going down on her and her giving him a blow job (fully on screen).
I have since researched the actor, Kieran O'Brien and he has appeared in many shows that I have seen, though whether I have seen the episodes he's been in I cannot say, though, as I said I did recognise his face. He's been in Casualty, Holby City and Holby Blue (playing different characters in each), Coronation Street, Cracker and Messiah.

'Battle Royale' "not brilliant" ? Ah, well now, many movie fans would disagree with you there. I would go so far as to say it's a stunningly well made and prescient piece of work, that "Beat" Kitano gives a frighteningly unnerving performance and I would add that here in the US it has never received theatrical distribution ... the US can be very culturally conservative (not that that is news to anyone outside the US) and it was all a bit too close to Columbine for comfort ... which is another testament to the power of the movie ... kids killing each other for the reassurance and entertainment of adults ? That would NEVER happen ... right ? Right ? ...

I guess I did do the film a disservice by saying not brilliant. It was entertaining, and SOME of the performances were good, but call me uncultured, I find it difficult to watch subtitled films, though this one I would watch again.
