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

[Diamond]

Rear Window

Excellent stuff. I felt it might have been better though if it remained unclear as to whether or not Thorwald actually killed his wife. And Grace Kelly is brilliantly beautiful in this film.

I've got the Dark Knight and the Taking of Pelham 123 for the weekend. I'm not sure about watching the Dark Knight on a small screen. Should I go and see it at the Imax instead?

 

[Orang Utan]

Don't bother with it at all and watch Pelham (not the remake I trust?)

No. The original. I don't think the remake has been released yet.

The thing that really puts me off the dark knight is the length. Very few films, and certainly no action films, should be much longer than 90 minutes IMO.

 

[Part 2]

Pelham everytime over The Dark Knight...unless you're 8 and don't care about a plot and just want to see Batman and The Joker.

 

[Part 2]

Just watched Eden Lake.

Absolute fucking rubbish. Unbelievable from start to finish and shit acting all round.

 

[Pie 1]

d watch Pelham

I watched Pelham the other day for the 1st time. Fucking cracking film


Just watched Frost/Nixon:
OK - Meh
Michael "Tony" Sheen was a bad casting for Frost IMO. Could'nt get past his stock in trade Blairism's.
At least it depicts John Birt as a spineless git from the start. Frost doesn't come out of it that well either.
Solid & watchable, but not all that.

Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder - which was alright, drifted a bit in the middle then picked up again.

The Departed - not seen it since it came out, and it really is bloody good.

 

[RubyBlue]

"The boy in the striped pyjamas" an excellent movie

^^ I love this movie - saw it at a mates house last week.

 

[Pie 1]

The Departed - not seen it since it came out, and it really is bloody good.

Yeah it is.
I watched Infernal Affairs last week & whilst it's still very good, I've got to say that The Departed is a much more coherent version.

 

[Scrus]

Revolutionary Road

This surprised me by actually being good, in fact I was glued to the screen.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Milk - Excellent movie loved it
Made me want to go out and punch a fucking Bigot

 

[Sunspots]

Starship Troopers

Sometimes, I'm just really in the right/wrong mood for it.

(-Last night was also the first time I've spotted The Wire's Sgt. Carver in it!... )

 

[Part 2]

Started watching Burn After Reading. Fell asleep 5 minutes in.

Watched about an hour of Bus 174, then fell asleep again.

 

[user47632]

Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder

I was far too pissed so will watch it again tonight!

"All the kings men" great film

 

[sojourner]

Leaving Las Vegas

Not the ideal film to watch when badly hungover, it has to be said

Christ that film is a misery fest I never wish to see again.

I know. If I felt sweaty, out of sorts and miserable beforehand, it was 1000 times worse after watching that

 

[Badgers]

[Biddlybee]

La Vie en Rose - really enjoyed it, although the editing was a little bit odd towards the end, stopped putting the date and location.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Adam & Paul - Some Cracking Photograhy

 

[belboid]

Had a nice lazy day in front of the TV yesterday.

First four episodes of the last season of The Wire (which I have to pretend not to have watched before, or mrs b will slap me for watching it without her). Even better second time round.

The Iron Man, which was pretty damned good.

 

[May Kasahara]

First four episodes of the last season of The Wire (which I have to pretend not to have watched before, or mrs b will slap me for watching it without her).

We actually watched an entire DVD last night, for the first time in months! It was The Dark Knight, which I had seen and Mr K hadn't. Was distinctly less gobsmacking second time around, although I did still enjoy it in a peculiar tense way.

Cry Baby

(why am i always pissed when watching this? )

what a fantastic movie

 

[May Kasahara]

It is fucking brilliant

 

[sheothebudworths]

The Wrestler - fantastic film. Couldn't get used to Mickey's new face - spent a lot of time trying to see the old him in the new one, but that all fitted with the general tone of the film somehow - and he was cracking in it. Aw it made me sad though.
