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

[BettyBlue]

Just finished watching Repo Men...not bad, although i can't stand Jude Law. Bit gory mind.

 

[Reno]

The Plague of the Zombies, one of the better Hammer films.

 

[imposs1904]

The 1949 Japanese film, Stray Dog.

 

[100% masahiko]

Zombie Land - It was easy on the brain. Good film. And Bill Murray

Katalin Varga - I thought I'd give Romanian film-making a chance. Not the type I usually enjoy but was feeling pessimistic and sad that day.

 

[Badgers]

Lark Rise to Candleford

Really twee but really good

 

[DotCommunist]

More Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Roman patricians really were proper shits

 

[ilovebush&blair]

It's all slick surface at first, but after a few episodes, you begin to see people's masks slipping...

Enjoy

I really liked it gonna watch the next two episodes tonight.

 

[Fictionist]

[DotCommunist]

Jesus Of Nazareth.

Beautiful and heartbreaking too.

Check out the !0 Commandments. Loooooong film but some great scenes, cast of thousands etc

 

[Badgers]

Lark Rise to Candleford

Really twee but really good

Finished it last night

 

[ramjamclub]

The Damned United
9/10 worth watching (even if you don't like football).
A look at Brian Clough's 44-day reign as the coach of Leeds United.
Michael Sheen is brilliant in his portrayal of this famous manager.

 

[imposs1904]

Kongekabale

Danish political thriller from 2004. Excellent. Recommended.

I hear that soundtrack and I start to blub.

Gorgeous.

 

[Bajie]

Warriors of heaven and earth

Storyline and acting is a bit shit, though visually it is great.

 

[Orang Utan]

i liked the look of post-apocalyptic earth and the design of the characters but the story was crap unfortunately. some of it was a bit of a rip off of other sci-fi films too, most notably terminator and the matrix. it also owes a debt to videogames like fallout and bioshock.
it's supposed to be a family film but it would have scared me shitless as a kid,

 

[Cm7]

Pandorum - Horror sci-fi. It was alright. Storyline has a little twist but not enough. And wouldn't it be more interesting to show the physical transformation of the crew and passengers going zombies?

An Education - Enjoyable.

Zombieland - Great fun. The Bill Murray part was hilarious.

 

[Badgers]

Starting watching Brick but tiredness took over so switched off to save for another night.

 

[Pie 1]

Watched that Blood & Oil BBC two part drama.
By Christ, it was proper shit.

 

[Reno]

Enjoyed this better than I thought I would and rather liked the revelation at the ending, but the creatures didn't suddenly transform and they certainly weren't zombies....

Spoiler: Reno

...as we find out, they were mutants who evolved into different creatures over many generations and that took over 800 years. Not sure how it would make the film better by showing that via convoluted flashbacks, the explanation was enough for me.

 

[Orang Utan]

oh, i forgot, i also saw the golden compass, which was a waste of mine and everyone else's time. a truly terrible film.

 

[Sadken]

The Devil and Daniel Johnston - Very, very good but, seriously, I don't get it re: his music. If I knew a mate who played those exact same songs in that exact same style I wouldn't think he was a genius, I would think he was a bit of a sub-sub-Syd Barrett tool.

 

[itsasecret]

The film is awful. The book is brilliant, they could've done so much better with the film. Kind of want the other two films to be made, but the first film didn't make enough money so think plans to make the other two had to be shelved.

I'm off sick from work so currently watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I adore this film, much better than the Tim Burton version.

Watched Knocked Up yesterday, thought it was hilarious.

the actress who played lyra will be too old by now anyway.
one thing i notice that i didn't notice about the book was the fact that while its message is about questioning authority and dogma, the book and film are still very cosy about the class divide. lyra the middle class changling of 'royal' birth saving the poor gypsy kids. everyone is content with their lot.

 

[ramjamclub]

watched it out of nostalgia and that's what I got
6/10 rehashed compilation of rocky themes
Rocky Balboa 2006

 

[belboid]

Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix. I dont know why. Followed by Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince. Blimey, that Radcliffe lad really can't act.

And then, Savage Grace. Distinctly better, but still, hmmm....

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Just watched 9. A steampunk animation type film with characters referred to as stitchpunks (on wikepedia....but not in the film itself)......wasn't brilliantly plotted, but looked fantastic. Well worth 80mins of my time.

 

[cliche guevara]

I just watched 2012. All of it.

((((science))))

 

[andy2002]

Choke - a bit self-consciously bizarre but very funny in places. Great cast - Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston and Kelly Macdonald. Made me want to read the Chuck Palahniak novel it's based on.
