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

[G. Fieendish]

Iron Man...
Mind you, what's with Samuel L Jackson playing Nick Fury...?

 

[El Jefe]

The Year My Voice Broke.

no idea why i love this film so much - the actings poor, the plot is generic, it's all a bit lame. But somehow it works - a certain mood and heartfelt quality. And Noah Taylor has good hair

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Eastern Promise - pretty good film about russian mafia in London, not your typical Cronenburg but engagine enough and has Vincent Cassell in it. Worth a watch.

I know quite a few people who hated it, but I thought it was a good 'un myself.

Yes, I quite enjoyed it too

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Sunshine - Nice idea apart from the dodgy science. I loved the first bit but would have liked it to be even more ethereal. Great music.

BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON WITH THE SECOND HALF?! No need for all that bollocks at all. The second half could have been so much more, the film could have spawned so many good plot ideas in so many directions and didn't need a bloody creepy sci-fi killer bloke. Fucking daft.

Simpsons Movie - Quite forgettable.

 

[The Octagon]

Buffy at the moment.
Never seen it before but not bad.

From the beginning or a random episode?

If the former you may need to cut it some slack (6 or 7 episodes) before it gets good.

wow, so, maybe..you like it, despite it's shitness? heh

 

[Orang Utan]

It's a guilty pleasure, that's what it is.

 

[Yetman]

Like farting in your bosses tea and practising voodoo on your sleeping partner

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

[Grandma Death]

Them.

As I understand it proceeded Eden Lake. Nevertheless standard fare....predictable shocks for most of the film. Ending was kinda bleak-then again was so was Eden Lake. Bleak endings are like so yesterday.

 

[electrogirl]

Just watched In Bruges. Have wanted to see it for ages and I loved it.

 

[sojourner]

Sick day yesterday, so watched a fair bit

A Day at the Races - excellent, daft funny stuff plus brilliant lindy hop scene, also Ivie Anderson and the Crinoline Choir

All three episodes of 40, with Eddie Izzard making me feel even queasier by walking round naked

First 3 episodes of The Corner.

 

[oneflewover]

Amercan Grafitti, a lovely film. Cars, music and spot the future stars.

 

[DotCommunist]

I watched lots of 'wolverine and the xmen' on Iplayer.

which is fairly sad

 

[Sunspots]

Just watched In Bruges. Have wanted to see it for ages and I loved it.

Last night, I too watched it for the first time.

A racist dwarf on drugs... Good stuff.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Saw IV. Suprisingly good. Could have done without the shot of Jigsaw's balls on the autopsy slab though

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Amercan Grafitti, a lovely film. Cars, music and spot the future stars.

Apparently George Lucas couldn't even keep his mitts off the CGI for the dvd of this either. He has altered the sky and a few background bits and bobs.

 

[Orang Utan]

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - I liked it - it made me laugh a lot - it had a lot of excess baggage, but loads of Apatow's films are like that. I particularly enjoyed the appalling Beatles acting. John C. Reilly is funnier than Will Ferrell.

This film made me laugh lots.

On balance, I feel this sort of makes up for Knocked Up.

 

[Sadken]

Walk Hard is a brilliant film and very underrated.

 

[pboi]

i watched it and thought every moment was shit. but the i thought that the first time i saw anchorman


those films really can go either way

 

[Sadken]

I love it. I love the way they use the actors to play themselves as younger versions of themselves and then say things like 'i'm your thirteen year old wife'. It's understated and it makes me laugh. There's loads to laugh at in the whole film,which is an 8 for my money.

 

[moonsi til]

I just watched 27 Dresses and it was really bad. I'm off to yoga now to try and get some balance back.

 

[electrogirl]

I'm going to watch Gran Torino in a minute.

It will be my first Clint Eastwood film.

 

[electrogirl]

I've just realised this maybe should be on the cinema thread, cos it's obviously a pirate.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Walk Hard is a brilliant film and very underrated.

Just watched the first half after reading this thread. Pretty good so far.

I also watched Iron Man. Better than the average comic book movie. OK it's not amazing and it not go the most complicated plot but have you read any of those old comics, they really suck. This is a comic book film.

Downey was pretty good I thought, and I don't think the Pepper Pots love bits went on too much, in fact there was fuck all (I had read there was a long boring love thing that ruined the film).

Don't get me wrong though, I doubt I will ever be watching it ever again.

 

[Sadken]

I'm going to watch Gran Torino in a minute.

It will be my first Clint Eastwood film.

What did you think?

 

[Badgers]

12th espisode of Fringe
Enjoyed it in a farcical sort of way
There are more out there I would wager so will hunt about

 

[El Jefe]

about 3/4 of Our Friends In The North. I'm enjioying it, but it's very very flawed ( a rant i'll save for a more comfortable typing position)

 

[belboid]

just started on John Adams, which I downloaded last year then forgot about. Pretty good first episode and a half, even with the very very strange accents
