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

[jeff_leigh]

There will be Blood - Excellent Movie

 

[Part 2]

The Times of Harvey Milk

After hearing Kermode's review of the Milk film thought I'd check this first. My mate told me about the Twinkie defence so many times but never the whole background to the gay rights thing in the states. Mental to think it's all so recent and was going on in my youth. What an inspiration he must've been to so many.

A really toughing and informative film I thought, hope Milk does the story justice.

 

[El Jefe]

Mrs Parker & The Vicious Circle. A sad and wonderful film, and Jennifer Jason Leigh is stunning

 

[Grandma Death]

*kittyp*
I have to say that I thought The Mist was awful.
It started out OK but then became laughable quite quickly.
But films are a very personal thing and that's what makes them so great.

Thats it though its a homage to B movies which in themself are pretty awful to the point they're good IMO.

 

[extra dry]

'the hurt locker' about a bomb disposal team in Iraq....about a 6/10 lots of tension and little far fetched in places....

 

[the button]

Blake's 7, series 3. Oh yeah.

 

[ajk]

'locker of hate' about a bomb disposal team in Iraq....about a 6/10 lots of tension and little far fetched in places....

Shurely "The Hurt Locker"?

 

[extra dry]

yeah just checked it....

 

[sojourner]

Bound, again, cos it's ace

And absolutely NOT because of Corky and Violet. No, honest

 

[smmudge]

There will be Blood - Excellent Movie

True, with a fantastic soundtrack.

 

[snackhead]

Slade in Flame. Again

 

[breasticles]

la vie en rose, not a brilliant film, badly structured and it annoyed me that noone smoked (youre trying to tell me edith piaf- edith fucking piaf- wasnt crazy insane for the gauloises? political correctness gone completement fou if you ask me). i thought marion cotillard was tiptop though and she was going to be my new crush and then i found out she was a fucking troofer!

 

[Dillinger4]

When I watched Che I came out of the cinema with an intense craving for a cigar.

 

[Pie 1]

1st two ep's of Six Feet Under.
God, it's good.

Lost track of it around season 3 on tv & had missed odd ep's of it up till then also.
Treated myself to the box set of all 5 seasons a few weeks ago.

It's gonna be a ride isn't it

 

[Andy the Don]

Gone Baby Gone - which was very good and I now want to read the book as I think the film most likely did not do it justice.

 

[Pie 1]

Gone Baby Gone - which was very good and I now want to read the book as I think the film most likely did not do it justice.

It fell apart quite spectacuarly in the final 3rd.

 

[Belushi]

Jumper - really shit.

 

[Part 2]

City of Men.

Not as good as the series, seemed to have a few holes and then had to fill them in with dialogue to explain what had happened.

 

[Sunspots]

1st two ep's of Six Feet Under.
God, it's good.

Lost track of it around season 3 on tv & had missed odd ep's of it up till then also.
Treated myself to the box set of all 5 seasons a few weeks ago.

It's gonna be a ride isn't it

I did the same.

Lost track of it on television about five years ago, then last year I made a conscious effort to watch all five seasons on DVD. It's great, but it's such an emotional rollercoaster that I found I really had to pace my viewing.

That said, 'enjoy'!...

 

[belboid]

eps 4&5 of season two of Big Love. Very silly, but very entertaining

 

[zenie]

DvDathon

Hancock - lighthearted entertainment, nothing more!
Somerstown - sweet but with big holes in the plot!
The Riddle - Not bad
Miss Potter - really good
White Noise - shite

 

[foo]

getting through season 4 The Wire.

some quality, or some something, seems to have been lost....

 

[middle C]

Departed - QUALITY.

 

[Yetman]

Brazil........fucking hell man, took me a while to get into but loved it. Reminded me of Holy Mountain a bit in terms of amount of effort and money to make something so bizarre, but I'd definitely recommend it to people who want something a bit different

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Jumper - really shit.

Oh yes. Not just shit but really shit.

We watched "Resident Evil: Extinction" which was pretty shit but inoffensive enough to make it okay. Good zombies but no Nemesis

 

[100% masahiko]

The Girl Who Lept Through Time - disappointing.

The Strangers - Liv Tyler is beautiful isn't she? Crap film.

Slumdog Millionaire - Didn't like the last 3rd - too cheesy. Otherwise very good - 2nd best film I've seen so far this year.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Departed - QUALITY.

You should watch the Asian version "Infernal Affairs"

 

[pboi]

Oceans 11. Love it still :0 I dont know why!

 

[Diamond]

Vital

Highly recommende Jap film about a fellow who experiences amnesia after a car crash and ends up dissecting his former lady's body as part of med school. Really interesting arty film.

Hellboy 2

Good comic book fodder.

 

[Dr. Ink]

I watched Heat with Robert de Niro and thought it was great.
