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

I'd rather watch I Am Legend than Donnie Darko. Actually, I'd rather watch a Horne & Corden marathon than watch Donnie Darko.
 
The Machinist.

Crap end, could have been mind bending but was just one long 'kill your speed' ad (you know, the spooky one with the kid under the desk)
 
REC – nothing terribly original and the ending felt very tacked on but not a bad little horror film for all that. Will be interested to see how the US remake, Quarantine, compares.

It doesn't :) Its only use is for people who don't do subtitles (or Spanish).

At long last I saw A Scanner Darkly last night. Not quite as good as I'd hoped but visually it was cracking. Shame I don't do acid anymore as it would elevate this film to a masterpiece.

Tonight I saw The Escapist and I wasn't expecting anything near such a treat as it turned out to be. Brian Cox is as good as ever, as is just about everyone else. Highly recommended.
 
The last few days I have watched:

Caligula (fucking amazing movie)
Dawn Of The Dead (how have I neer seen this before its great)
Doomsday (atrocious but somehow amazing, seriously could have been great but they managed to completely and totally fuck it up in every way)
Dawn Of The Dead (remake) (watching it now, it's kind of bollocks but looks good).
 
Donnie Darko is utter shite. It's just not thought through which really lets it down. The director writer chap even admits it. I think when you have a mysterious film of this kind where all the pieces come together, the pieces should at least come together.
What also annoyed me was that it seemed to pander way too much to teenage pseudointellectual emos.
 
I just thought Donnie Darko was generally accepted as one of the great films of the decade. That's my perception from mentioning it to Real Life People.

Nothing is generally accepted - some people like it, some think it's shit, some think it good in places but shit in others.

I think it has definitely acheived 'cult classic' status, even tho it is superficial badly concluded, kind of entertaining, tosh.
 
Angel Season 3 (The Price, A New World, Benediction)

The arrival of Connor (great entrance scene with the slo-mo axe flinging, etc) and loads of angst.

Plus the beginning of Wesley's bad-ass arc :cool:

Only the finale to go (then onto Season 4!)
 
That's the tagline for the DVD re-release sorted!
I don't know why I don't work in marketing.
I've seen it about three times...Crossroads, I think I've seen about five or six. Crossroads is incredible.

Why the hell didn't you post on my amazing thread? Yes, I made a THREAD.

Can you believe I haven't seen Crossroads? I can't. It makes me sick to even say that.
 
I watched Dickie Attenborough lisping and mincing his way through 10 Rillington Place. Makes a very convincing necrophiliac impotent serial killer, but a bit of a shock I imagine if all you've ever seen of him is in affable avuncular roles.

I went to see it completely cold without knowing anything about it and just loved it. Who cares if it wasn't thought through, a lot of great things aren't.

I saw it cold too and the fact that it didn't even have a grand plan despite insinuating it did was not the only problem I had with it. I don't like Dawsons creek either.
