Last Days (DVD)

...coming out based on the last days of the legend I was jumping for joy and after reading in NME a couple of weeks ago that a film about the life of Joy Division legend Ian Curtis was in production I was ecstatic. Unfortunately after a long and lengthy search and prowling the streets of Cardiff for the lowest price of this dvd it dawned on me it was too expensive to buy so I had to return back home humbled with my tail between my legs. That was until ...

Review of Last Days (DVD)

...bleak and provoke discussion. Last Days is a film that ranks amongst a lot of '2005's worst film' lists. But then there are also people that think it's a work of genius.

Review of Last Days (DVD)

...across the film simply titled Last Days. After reading the short description given about the film i was already intrigued and thought it would be quite interesting to watch as it was a film based on Kurt Cobain's last days before he tragically ended his life.

...Personally i wouldn't recommend Last Days to anyone.I was very disappointed overall and really don't know why i continued to watch it to the end. So to anyone who reads this, this is all that happens so you don't have to watch it. Blake walking through woods. Comes to a river and takes a piss in it. The rest of the film just shows Blake in an old, worn down house constantly falling asleep, muttering and occasionally playing the guitar. While the ...
