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

[sojourner]

i hated that movie, for some reason. The guy's transformation didn't add up, and I think i'm just sick of seeing Huppert doing 'tortured'.

The transformation was rather rushed. I've never seen her before - wouldn't mind seeing her again though.

The way she went about showing what she was, and the stuff involved, was exactly as I've heard about it from acquaintances who were into all that though

Did make you wonder though, about the line that gets crossed

 

[Orang Utan]

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall this weekend and found it rather funny if a little formulaic. Rusnsell Brand is no great actor though.
I also watched Outpost which being about Nazi zombies, I was very excited about. It was rather disappointing though - it was quite atmospheric and eerie but it lost its way quite quickly. And it didn't have enough Nazi zombies in it.
Then I watched The Brood, a lesser know and lesser Cronenberg - not enough action and too much psychobabble talking. The 'creatures' in it are well spooky though and it has quite a few suitably grim moments.

 

[rollinder]

a bit of The Clash Preasure Drop 77-85 (live & tv boot dvd)
(the LH thead gave me an idea) decided to rewatch The Clash live In Tokyo as broadcast by Japanese tv
- Live at Nakana Sun Plaza Feb 1, 1982

Mick bouncing arround everywhere, Joe improvising outragiously - a streem of coniousness involving KFC, Cournal Saunders, barbicues, 'burning some children' & 'FRYING TONIGHT' in Charlie Doint Surf (pos completely forgetting the lyrics to Tommy Gun),

playing/energy that has me wondering (again) 'are you sure that hasn't been sped up?'.

+ Straight To Hell on Saturday Night live (Oct 82)
beyond perfection

 

[Grandma Death]

Gone Baby Gone. Flawed film but quite interesting moral dilemmas thrown up by the movie. I thought some of the characters were well written and with real emotional depth too.

Ricockulous ending though.

Shame, 'cause it got off to a promising start.

bloody ell, there's me trying to show a little restraint I've still got another 5 episodes to go

 

[Badgers]

Watched a bit of Bill Bailey yesterday and (like all of his stuff) it was fookin great!!

 

[Sadken]

Yep.
Last 3rd of the film actually.
Shame, 'cause it got off to a promising start.

I would actually say that it's the worst collapse I've ever seen.

 

[Iam]

The 3rd Pirates and the 4th Harry Potter, as someone hadn't seen them. Both as matinees, both quite enjoyable.

The Searchers. Nice HD retouch on it, looks fantastic, John Wayne as John Wayne... what's not to like? Great stuff.

I would say you're probably not wrong.

 

[corporate whore]

Serial Mom. Loved it.

 

[El Jefe]

we're ploughing back through Northern Exposure again. Never fails to make me happy

 

[El Jefe]

Serial Mom. Loved it.

SUCH a great movie. The bit where she batters Patty Heart with a payphone for wearing the wrong shoes

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Get Smart.

Great casting; some hilarious moments.

 

[Pie 1]

we're ploughing back through Northern Exposure again. Never fails to make me happy

That reminds me, I must get some NE dvd's.
Mrs Pie's not familiar with it & watches this god awful rip off that's around called Men in Trees - which never fails to make me annoyed.

 

[Diamond]

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Very good and very moving film.

 

[corporate whore]

Jackie Brown. Grier & Forster are excellent.

 

[Yetman]

The first half of Volver, looks alright so far.

Penelope Cruz is unfuckingbelievably beautiful

 

[ringo]

The Wire, Series 3, episode 5. Charging through this now.

 

[corporate whore]

Dark Passage - immediately rushes to the very peak of my favourite films list.

 

[Diamond]

Dirty Tricks

Documentary on Lee Atwater and his role in GOP campaign politics from the late 70s to the early 90s. He was basically the man who made Rove and created the Bush legacy. It's on iplayer here and is highly recommended:

[sojourner]

Episodes 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Wire s2

saving the last one for later, along with ep 11 of the Sopranos S6 - which I plan to watch with a belly full of roast dinner, sipping my drambuie

 

[matrix_22]

donkey punch but didn't get round to watching all of it

 

[mentalchik]

Eragon

 

[DJ Squelch]

The Seven-Ups from 1973, stars Roy Schneider and was made by the same bloke who made The French Connnection & Bullit. No surprise then that it has an incredible car chase in it.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Terminator.
