What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

[rollinder]

more recent viewing: episodes of Roobarb off an old video - When Custard Stole The Show (I'd forgoten just how random & sureal the episodes were and the different theme on the end credits)
today: a few episodes of The Adventures of Parsley (charity shop video again ) and a version of the unbroadcast pilot version of the first episode of Doctor Who off The Hartnell Years tapes.
(Partly because I was going to watch something to mark the anniversary anyway and in memory of Verity Lambert)
I'd forgotten about the special credits with a crap version of the theme tune for the years tapes & Sylvester larking about in character in a Doctor Who exhibition to do the links (and mentioning Rrrrmemberance of The Daleks ).

Hartnell was being a right menacing grumpy old bugger

It was put together by John Nathan Turner too - annother dead Doctor Who producer

"Dans Paris". Superb. Loved the characters, the location, the music, the laughter and the tears.

Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada - still marvellous on 2nd viewing

Superb innit.
Beautifully made film in every way.


On the other hand....
Pirates of the Caribbean Part 3 has just been aborted on the grounds that it's utter drivel & going to bed is a much better option.

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War is the name of the UK release. I have not seen it yet but it is on my list.

Yup

 

[May Kasahara]

Sunshine

Really liked the emo atmospherics, really didn't like the pointless descent into slasher-in-space randomness.

If you don't remember the copy i brought round yours last time wouldn't play with subtitles on your pc so you may be out of luck!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I can upload it somewhere if anyone really wants

Was that my new PC or the old one brother?

 

[Badgers]

Some of Family Guy series 6...

Only squeezed in two episodes but fooking funny stuff

 

[Part 2]

Little Children. It was okay. Some of the acting was piss poor though

I'm a bit meh about films that need a narrator too.

It's not always a question of need - it can be deliberate, rather than just expositional - have you seen Badlands?

 

[Reno]

The voice over narration in Little Children was insufferable and hideously pretentious, while no one uses the device better than Terrence Malick does.

 

[Part 2]

It's not always a question of need - it can be deliberate, rather than just expositional - have you seen Badlands?

No, is it good? Will add it to my Lovefilm freebies if it's worth a watch.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's an astounding film - True Romance rips it off wholesale

 

[Reno]

I love all of Malick's films, but I think Days of Heaven is his masterpiece and is even an better film than Badlands. It uses a voice over narration by Linda Manz, possibly the least cloying child actress ever in a way that is slightly less obvious than the way the device is used in Badlands.

Badlands is probably the best film of his to start with though as it is his most accessible work.

 

[Orang Utan]

I haven't acually seen Days Of Heaven

 

[Reno]

You've got a treat in store then. It's a film that still gets better every time I watch it and I must have seen it over a dozen times now.

Its probably one of the most visually beautiful films ever made and it's worth seeing in a theatre.

 

[Roadkill]

Jeff and I watched 'Get Real.' I'd never seen it before. It's really touching.

Also tried watching 'The Caves of Androzani' but a certain Urbanite started to fall asleep in the armchair

[CharlieAddict]

beowulf 3-D.

excellent stuff. as for '3-D', i can't imagine watching this movie any other way.
what's the point?

Them (Ils)

french film based on a true story? yeah...right. but apart from that, the film ran okay.

unknown

it's got that bloke from the Count of Monte Cristo in it.
made too much sense. good for a cheapo film.

is that the one about the writer and his teacher wife living in some house in the country where the kids hunt and kill them because they wouldn't play with them? kinda reminded me of Straw Dogs swopping the village yokels with little kids, I did a search on google for any authenticity but couldn't find anything

yep...that's the one.
yeah it wa like Straw Dogs mixed with The Vanishing.

unfortunately, the film is not based on real/actual events.
film titles or taglines that lie...don't you just hate that? wolf creek is another 'un.
