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

[belboid]

Jo Fiennes in for Walbrook & Jodie Foster for Debs, could be a hit.

Not sure about moving it to between Korea, Vietnam and Iraq tho

I was really really let down by it, actually.

I was a little disappointed. I expected more sci-fi of it but it's essentially a romance story which I'm too old for its kind.

 

[Cm7]

Oh Memento was GOOD!

It kept me intrigued the whole time.
I was guessing he was the killer of his wife but psychologically blocked it out, but I was wrong!
And ain't Carrie-Anne Moss's character such a bitch!

Excellent. Highly recommend.

I've just taken delivery of a dvd of Espionage, mid-sixties TV plays about, mmm, spies. These episodes being otable for being the three directed by Michael Powell himself, with a few old stalwarts involved too, including Roger Livesey in a 'light-hearted take on the war between Britain and America' - so that's tonights viewing sorted.

just finished these. jolly great, and not just for mid-sixties tv plays.

The first one has Livesey reprising his Blimp role, but in the guise of Samuel Johnson, very silly bit of farce. The last is written by Leo 'Peeping Tom/SOE codemeister' Marks, about Russian and British spies getting married...but can they really trust each other?

All the acting is top rate, far from the usual one off short drama fare, intelligent and witty scripts and surprisingly high production values, with the odd bit of sheer powellism thrown in.

cleo de 5 a 7

neither Mrs shoes nor I remember putting it on our DVD list

but hey, what a good film

 

[marty21]

2 episodes of the shield, season 4, working my way through it

 

[marty21]

true dat.

I still keep thinking 'can I be arsed to watch a three hour film' when it gets put on, but as soon as it is......simply flies by. aaah, Deborah, Deborah, Deborah

it sure does fly by, didn't realise it was 3 hours

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

More V (2009) episode 4 now I think. It passes the time. I think they think they are taking a BSG approach but it falls a bit short (well a lot short). There have been loads of points where they could have taken some quite cool and tense plot directions but somehow just cut them dead for and early and unexciting revelations. I am finding that a little frustrating. There is loads of opportunity to have some moral ambiguity but instead they go for the extremely boring - Aliens = bad to the bone, humans = good. Some aliens thing what they are doing is wrong and switch 100% to being good and hating aliens. Then some of those aliens switch back and are 100% bad. Gahhh.

 

[The Octagon]

Inglourious Basterds.

Completely ridiculous, especially any scenes involving the Basterds themselves, but some great scenes mixed in as well (the opening and the bar rendevous were masterclasses in subtlety, something Tarantino never seems to gets credit for).

Less said about the ending the better though.

Overall, very entertaining, but I can't believe it's won awards and got Oscar Noms (apart from the guy playing Colonel Landa).
