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

I watched Deathproof - with the last section on fast forward... don't want to waste too many minutes of my life on car chases (says she as she spends the evening posting on urban...)

I got a it sick of it half way though (on the much shorter theatrical version even) about a month ago and haven't managed to summon up enough boredom to watch the end (I haven't got as far as any car chase yet).
 
The Thin Man (1934)

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Charming comic chemistry between Nick and Nora. :)

Waitress (2007)

Recommended/lent to me by a friend. Had my doubts beforehand though, and switched it off after half an hour, realising I'd been duped into watching a syrupy chick-flick, albeit a 'quirky' indie one. Not badly made or anything, it's just not my kind of film at all.

It's a shame about Adrienne Shelly's (-real life) murder though.
 
A shit film called Primer, turned it off after an hour, wasnt falling into the trap of watching a whole shit film again to wait for when it gets good and it never does, I'm over that shit. Pants - everyone talked over each other all the time so you couldnt understand what was going on and it was just fucking shit.
 
Yeah, was in the mood for some slick headfuck science film but instead got nerds arguing in a film that obviously cost $7000 to make :rolleyes:
 
Doctor Who - Infirno on Wednesday night -
meant to watch only one or two episodes, then thinking each time it went back to the menu 'just one more...', ended up watching all all seven FUCK! :eek: (last time I couldn't stop watching something and ended up staying up to the early hours was with the second video of Edge of Darkness)

I've only done three of inferno then forgot about it. I must grab it off the shelf again soon. Pertwee has really grown on me. I'm a child of Tom Baker/Davidson so some of the other doctors can be a hard sell.
 
Everything is Illuminated

Wow. What a great film, in so many ways - this is one that will stay with me.

I got really bad leaky-eye and swollen-throat syndrome, Eugene was just fantastic (how fucking charismatic is he?!), the music, the cinematography, the narrative layers, Sammy Davies Jr Jr :)D) the heartbreaking story :)()...

I now need to read the book. I will commence a rigid search for it (on amazon)...

|Yes, beautiful film :)

Pertwee era is great stuff, a real Gentleman Doctor.

Him and Delgado(as the Master) were great, Ham and Cheese:cool:

Ah christ, yes. My mate had this. I thought "Yeah, something a bit different, and it sounds cool, it's about time travel" and it just left me feeling totally "Meh!".
 
That's bollocks - they just don't like every film that comes out ever. They've liked plenty of films and even recommended ones that I've gone on to watch.
 
No, just generally, you usually tend to say everything is shit.

I think you and Jefe should start a film review channel on cable.

"It's shit." "OK, next review?"
"It's shit." "Ah, I see. Next?"

"It's shit." and so on...

i praise more films than i criticise by a comfortable margin. You just like shite films :p
