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

[Looby]

Scream 3.

 

[nicksonic]

Have you made a new one?

no, i just keep adding to the 'worst companion' thread

 

[The Octagon]

Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Hard to put my finger on exactly what it was, but I really enjoyed this, great performances / chemistry from the leads and proper realistic (i.e. awkward ) sex scenes.

Beautifully shot too, made me want to go to Mexico.

i watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as it has been recommended a lot on here but i thought it was deadly dull, i almost turned it off. robert downey junior was extremely annoying and i hated the whole post modern narrator bit which they seemed to be using to disguise the fact that the actual film was lame and boring.

 

[Upchuck]

Anything for Her - Thought it was great. I was backing the guy 100% and felt I would have done the same if my beautiful fragile wife was banged up in chokey.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Fucking love this film.

'Sleeeeep'

It's the kid who says it that really makes my skin crawl!

Watched an old fave last night, "Lifeforce", complete with a pre-"Star Trek TNG" Patrick Stewart, a post-"Hazell" Nicholas Ball and a post-"Equus" but pre-"Spooks" Peter Firth. Plus "best unsupported role" from a mostly-nude Mathilda May. I went to the British premiere of the film in (IIRC) 1983, and it's still as (unintentionally) funny now as it was then!

 

[Orang Utan]

she had great tits didn't she? they were probably the best thing in the movie. nude space vampires for the win.

 

[moonsi til]

Through the weekend I watched all 3 Lord Of The Rings.

My BFs 8yr old is besotted with the books/films and every chance he can get to watch them he takes it. Bless him...2 of the films are on VHS from the local charity shop..


Will see if santa brings the DVDs...

 

[Orang Utan]

i watched weird science last night. it's different to how i remember. i didn't recall the racist club scene, nor did i notice the morally bankrupt premise of the movie and the hypocrisy of it conflicting messages, but i still enjoyed it a lot, especially bill paxton as wyatt's jerk off brother. the kid who plays wyatt had a disturbing helium-tinged voice though - i hope i didn't sound like that when i was 15.

Another skiffy classic. Responsible for my first proper boner, and also the influence behind Species IMO.

Sci Fi vampirism is always cool.

 

[Biscuit Tin]

My Name Is Joe and Riff Raff both directed by Ken Loach.

 

[DotCommunist]

Taken

Man who used to be an assassin for the state has his daughter kidnapped by foreigners who want to auction her as a sex slave. He then goes mental, proper mental and destroys everything in his path to get her back.

Quality. Just does what it says on the tin film, a pure exercise in violent retribution.

ridiculous isn't it? tis almost as offensive as death wish. the auction scene is so absurd.

Yeah, it is incredibly silly. The way the ex wife is such a bitch, and the new partner such a fanny as compared to steely eyed Neeson lets you know that he is going to unleash some wupass. That and the stupid barbecue scene with him and his old CIA buddies reminiscing about how hardass Neeson was back in the day.

Enjoyed it though. It is a film totally unashamed of what it is. An excuse for Liam Neeson to visit epic vengeance upon people with funny accents.

Watched New Moon at the cinema last night. It was very well done. The audience laughed when Jacob pulled his T shirt over his head to reveal a very buff body. Was surprised by the number of men in the audience. I would have thought it was a girly film.

 

[pboi]

heard that from a few people, all the girls swooning and then everyone laughing

 

[kyser_soze]

S3E11 of Mad Men, probably one of the best 'character' episodes I've seen in a drama.

'Jerome is the New Black' new ep of Family Guy, Sunday night's Top Gear...

 

[Pie 1]

Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Excellent film. Proper horny too.


Gran Torino last night - Meh.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Apocalypto - Murderous violence with obsidian weapons - what more could a boy ask for!

 

[Orang Utan]

FlashForward up to episode 7 - utterly preposterous but i'm still watching it. some truly terrible acting. i don't know how jack davenport continues to work, he's so completely charmless and has the acting ability of a table. the blue hand subplot is wank, it's all wank really, so why am i watching it?

 

[Orang Utan]

Apocalypto - Murderous violence with obsidian weapons - what more could a boy ask for!

plus A LOT OF RUNNING

 

[rutabowa]

i watched Inside the french horror, it was pretty cool. excellent gore effects and not too horribly disturbing, it reminded me most of the Evil Dead actually though I don't think they were shooting for that.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Inglourious Basterds - messy, fun, dull, aimless, shameless, enjoyable, frustrating and over-written in equals measures.

At times it was like playing 'spot the film reference' between the re-created scenes and re-constituted score.

Hardly a classic, not sure it was even any good, but some of the acting, the music and ideas made it worth my time....once.

 

[ViolentPanda]

plus A LOT OF RUNNING

Made me tired just watching all that running, so it did!

 

[DexterTCN]

The Escapist. IMDB

Lovely little prison film with some amazingly good acting. Currently available on Film4.

I was well impressed, for a change.

 

[pboi]

ethereal ending, Brian Cox is the man

 

[andy2002]

Trekkies - hilarious documentary about obsessive Star Trek fans. Some of the people interviewed are endearing, imaginative and would probably be great fun to be around; a few of the others - Brent Spiner's stalker especially - are proper mental.

 

[The Octagon]

Couple of episodes of Band of Brothers, specifically the 4th one in which 'Bull' bayonets a german through the head.

Nice.

 

[Sunspots]

In the last couple of days...

O'Horten

Lars And The Real Girl

Tropic Thunder

September

 

[belboid]

Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee (or whatever its called).
