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

[jeff_leigh]

Battle Royale - brilliantly done, well worth the two hours of subtitles.

Ace movie , I'd recommend the book too.

 

[stupid dogbot]

District 9.

Like.

 

[ViolentPanda]

The Baader-Meinhof Complex. Good action, realistic gun-play, and high-lighted the middle-classness of many of the RAF perfectly without favouring the "establishment" position. Another great supporting role by Bruno Ganz, too.

Azumi 2: Love or Death. What more could a person ask for? Beautiful women with swords, fountains of arterial blood, limb amputation and a man who thinks he's a cross between a spider and a porcupine!

 

[sojourner]

3 Extremes

put me RIGHT off dumplings that has

*gags*

 

[DotCommunist]

Vampire's Kiss - A decent performance from Nicholas Cage

Lies! do not lie to dem peoples

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

He was good in Adaptation

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Azumi 2: Love or Death. What more could a person ask for? Beautiful women with swords, fountains of arterial blood, limb amputation and a man who thinks he's a cross between a spider and a porcupine!

It's a bit bonkers that's for sure.

Kidulthood was on TV so I stuck it out.
Felt & looked like an over long college project, which I guess isn't to far from the reality.
Some truly abismal acting, wince inducing 'experimental' camera work & music overlays & a dreadfully cliched story arc.
I guess it's fair play to the guy for getting it together at such a young age, but it is ultimatly, a very very immature film & certainly doesn't warrant the fuss that was made over it.

unremitting gash that is quite dishonest and stuffed with faux-grit. The sequel is even worse.

 

[starfish]

The Collector, read the book recently too.

 

[nicksonic]

'the mist' based on some positive posts earlier in this thread. and i really liked it, altho wasn't too keen on the cgi (the usual nick moan).

 

[The Octagon]

First 2 episodes of Mad Men, not hooked yet but definitely enjoyed them.

The period detail is fantastic though.

Makes me want a cigarette and to smack a secretary's arse, neither of which are massively healthy

 

[Fictionist]

Oliver Stone's 'W'.

'Twas utter shite!

 

[Pie 1]

The sequel is even worse.

Cheers for saving me 2 hours of my life

I saw that Dream Girls wot was on the telly like.

Not much of a story. Half way though it suddenly turned into a musical which was a bit odd. It's like when Gremlins 2 gave up half way through. I don't know what happened at the end because my daughter woke up crying. When I got back downstairs everyone was on stage and there were big smiles so I guess it was a happy ending.

It won awards or something didn't it? I can't see why. Nice bit of fluff but nothing more.

Did I say nice? I meant it was shit.

 

[Sadken]

Bad Boys 2

 

[jeff_leigh]

Anvil - The Story of Anvil brilliant documentary really enjoyed it, The cynic in me
says they're totally deluding themselves, But then so what? At least they're enjoying themselves doing something they love. How many people can say they have a passion like that in their life?

 

[danny la rouge]

Pauline at the Beach by Eric Rohmer. I like him, but was underwhelmed by this outing.

 

[Yetman]

Trick R Treat - Ok, good for a halloween flick but not worthy of a second viewing. Got Antichrist and Drag me to Hell to watch later

Food Inc - great film about the food industry and how the farms are controlled and food is manufactured. Some nasty stuff in there though. This burger tastes like shit.....

Wall E - meh, starts off slow but gets better. Didnt really keep my attention that much.

I really like cheese. And Marmite, actually. I'd probably take a fucking bullet for Marmite, as it goes.

 

[5t3IIa]

I watched Lock Stock on telly - I really enjoyed it

 

[Sadken]

Dead to me.

 

[foo]

Burn After Reading. loved it.

i want more Cohen - but i think i've watched em all now..

 

[Sadken]

Foo! Foo! That's sort of the sound of da police!

 

[rennie]

A miss Marple DVD with Kelly Brook. Boy is she crap.

 

[feldbach]

Wall E - meh, starts off slow but gets better. Didnt really keep my attention that much.

second time is better, trust me

 

[Part 2]

Taken...to see what the fuss was about. Blimey, it's bad

Mum and Dad...That was a bit too

The Devil's Backbone...Good film, but I'm sure someone told me it was scary.

 

[Yetman]

second time is better, trust me

Ive kept it for another watch, when it goes into the future city it looks ace

 

[soluble duck]

Last night I watched...

'Waiting for Guffman' which is my second favourite Christopher Guest film, after Spinal Tap, of course. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes Spinal Tap, or who thinks Ricky Gervais was a genius, he 'stole' most of his ideas of comedy from Guest.

oh and I just finished watching Moon, the Duncan Jones Film, which I thought was excellent, it has a beautiful aesthetic to it, and great retro but futuristic sets.

 

[Part 2]

From Beyond...Not seen this for years but reminded about it by the horror films thread. It's funny as fuck, especially the cop.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

American Gangster

(I ♥ Denzel Washington...)
