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

[marty21]

watch "the warriors" this afternoon

 

[e∞a]

watched Mystery Train this afternoon/evening (after finally crawling out of bed at neary 6pm )

one of my favourite.
watched it more than a decade ago!

 

[e∞a]

Amelie. She'd drive me mental I reckon.

i thought she was absolutely adorable.
i love the ending on how they exchanged kisses.

 

[e∞a]

war - crap! jet li with a gun is crap!

fearless - that's much better. awesome kung fu by jet li. great story that too.

 

[Reno]

A Mighty Heart.

Not bad, but all these awards worthy films I got from BAFTA on DVD this year are starting to get me down.

 

[London_Calling]

At some point somewhere over the break I saw The King, which I hadn't heard of before. Glad I did, though was too busy to give it as much thought as it perhaps deserves.

3 3/4 dead family members out of five.

 

[butchersapron]

Good-ish film, turns thing rounds nicely, wihout being too overdramatic or false.

 

[CharlieAddict]

The Hitcher - shit remake. disgraceful attempt.

I Am Legend - yeah whatever happened to the vampires? and for once the reviewers were right...shitty cartoony zombies and crappy ending to an otherwise 'okayish' film.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Not a patch on 28 Days Later is it. I've never read the book but there just wasn't enough scary bits. Even my missus watched it by herself in the dark while I was asleep the other day and said it was "Not very scary"...

 

[rollinder]

about to watch Life Of Brian

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I watched No Country For Old Men. It was very good. I plan to watch it again at the cinema when back in blighty later this month.

 

[Part 2]

Badlands.

On the recommendation of OU after my judgement of films that need a narrator. Proved me wrong then!

Great film. The bit where Holly and Kit are dancing by the fire is cool as fuck.

In fact Kit was about as cool as characters get. Loved the use of music too.

Glad you liked it
Can you how much QT ripped it off in True Romance? Even the music!

 

[Part 2]

Years since I watched True Romance.

Can't remember much about it either.

(adds to rewatch list)

 

[rhod]

"Panic In the year Zero" - ludicrous, but entertaining '50s apocalyptic movie about society breaking down in the aftermath of a nuclear attack in LA.

Ray Milland is very good (as usual) and he also directed.

Cool beatnick jazz score throughout.

 

[cyberfairy]

Watched Perfume-Story Of a Murderer and utterly loved it. Gruesome, weird, beautiful. Wish it had been in French though as was set there and just seemed strange having actors speak English. Reading the book now.

 

[TopCat]

I am legend

Excellent movie and a welcome addition to the genre of post apocolypse.

 

[Roadkill]

'Allo 'Allo, series 5 volume 2.

 

[The Groke]

'Allo 'Allo, series 5 volume 2.

[May Kasahara]

Just watched Syriana. Not sure what I think about it, tbh.

 

[sheothebudworths]

The entire series of Catterick


LOL!

 

[sojourner]

Series 6 - Family Guy. I love FG soooo much - it's proper gobsmacking in places

 

[Part 2]

Superbad.

Peurile but very funny. McLovin, what a character

Still got 40 y.o Virgin to watch aswell.

 

[Cloud]

3.10 to Yuma

Fantastic!

Christian Bale is one of my favourite actors. He was great as a kid in empire of the sun and I don't think I've ever seen him in anything remotely shit since.

I like him too, but he's had a few turkeys, like Reign of Fire (awful) and a couple of even shitter ones before that, like the remake of Shaft and something called Newsies, some dodgy musical.

He's coming into his own now though - check out 'Rescue Dawn' if you haven't already. Superb film, probably his best yet, although I also loved Prestige/Batman Begins.

 

[The Groke]

Just watched Syriana. Not sure what I think about it, tbh.

I nearly liked it a lot.

Mrs Swarf assures me it is better the second time and perhaps almost essential to re-watch if you want to get the most from it.

 

[May Kasahara]

Yeah, I can see why...I spent most of it just going 'This is really well made and well acted and that, but I have no fucking idea what is going on'. Also, I was left with a little bit of so-what at the end: 'oh right, so what you've been saying all along is that big business is manipulative, the US government is not averse to taking out reforming political leaders for its own ends, and CIA spooks are liable to be abandoned once they pass their useful stage. Well I never.'

It is very well made though - great performances all round, I thought.

 

[Phenol]

Grange Hill series 1 & 2 DVD arrived this morning. I can't wait to watch it

I thought laurel canyon was a bit shit. I'm not sure that gun fu one was good either.
