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

[100% masahiko]

The Beat That My Heart Skipped - A very simple narrative, too straightforward for my liking but the themes were all there. Think Mr Holland trapped in the body of van hoogstraten's son...

Clash of the Titans - The original came out in the early 80s, around the era of Krull, Excalibur, Dragonslayer etc. It's sad to think that the 80s is repeating itself all over again. Same stories presented in CGI violence (3D of course). Somehow, the romanticism of the past died somewhere in the remaking process.

Fuckin' bollocks to it. Utter waste of time and money. Cunts. Can't believe they destroyed another childhood memory of mine!!

 

[Part 2]

Finished Breaking bad series 1.

It's good, maybe not as good as it's hyped, theres some great stuff but the pace is a bit off in parts.

Still, got s2 on download

 

[moonsi til]

We watched 2nd & 3rd Planet of The Apes...think they are 'Beneath Planet of The Apes' & 'Escape from Planet of The Apes'.

The beneath one was really bizarre and very much 'WTF'....got 2 more to watch till we done.

 

[andy2002]

It was awful isn't it?
I swear Travolta and Cage are having some sort of secret competition on who can make the worse film.

I understand how this kind of shit gets made - Hollywood screenwriter pitches "a sci-fi Di Vinci Code" to gullible studio bosses - but not why it has to be so utterly, utterly terrible and nonsensical. My kids - aged six and four - could come up with a less hole-ridden, piss-poor plot.

Check out the film it's a remake of - i think it's far superior. Fingers

Cool! I think I found a torrent for this.

 

[marty21]

In Bruges

really enjoyed it

 

[ramjamclub]

The Lovely bones
7/10

 

[rubbershoes]

Anvil: the story of Anvil

All the way though wasn't sure if it was a darker Spinal Tap or reality. It's a moving film. Well worth a watch

 

[belboid]

Chinatown.

Still magnificent genius

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

i went to see kick ass at the cinema. it was very

 

[DotCommunist]

Stargate Universe: Excellent episode. Rush backstory was scored with really loud orchestral music that could have been annoying but they chose loads of lovely violins

Doctor Who: third watch. Pond is growing on me even more and it is a good episode but we will have to wait for prt 2 to see if it is a series winner

 

[sojourner]

Watched Bound again - was showing it to someone who's not seen it before, and who was pretty impressed with it

Oh cHHHorky

 

[The Octagon]

Episodes 4-7 of Mad Men S1, it's fucking brilliant, I'm addicted already.

Spoiler: S1 plotline

The scenes alluding to 'Don Draper' and his past were incredibly well done, especially the scenes with his brother, amazing acting, I may have got something in my eye at one point...

And although I've loved Christina Hendricks since Firefly, this show has turned it into full-blown lust

 

[butchersapron]

Paz - film based around the comics of Andrea Pazienza - once hugely popular amongst Bologna's tribe of moles and proletarian youth circles. Film ties to make a universe of his characters and does puts the question of the author at the centre and all that. Fucking shit.

 

[Ax^]

The remake of Prom Night..

and it was painful viewing that made me want to kill the writers, producers, director and the cast which all looked like they had just walked out of the OC...

 

[imposs1904]

Restless Natives

An attempt at a Bill Forsyth film without the wit, charm and whimsy of a Bill Forsyth film.

 

[ooo]

Visitor Q - most bizarre and uneasy. But in the end it all makes sense.

 

[albionism]

Antichrist......Some quite gorgeous cinematography
but really made me feel quite sick by the end.

I can't help but write whenever I see that someone has watched this that . . . . It is an excellent film. Love it to bits.

Saw saw saw saw saw saw.



I included it in a DVD review show on ITV on it's release and despite being able to show all 18 rated footage I had a massive battle with legal to show the clips I wanted to.

Apart from the cock and cunt shots.
I thought it was seriously shit.

It starts off quite unsettling. And there's a constant of 'WTF!' in my brain.
But half way through the plot is coming together. And then I see a lot of the scenes as symbolic.

eta. which clips you wanted to show?

 

[Dirty Martini]

I'm coming to the end of the first Heimat, which has kept me busy for the last couple of weeks. It's got looser and more soapy as it's gone on, but it's still magnificent.

Seeking more German stuff.

 

[imposs1904]

You filth

You honestly like Restless Natives? Is it the Big Country soundtrack that swings it for you?

I think I managed to show a lot of what I wanted but with cuts. For instance I seem to remember the lawyers deciding how many saws to the boys head was acceptable.

Spoiler: Best Bits

I showed a bit of the conversation between the father and his daughter after he had paid for sex with her. The bit with him discovering the 'miracle of life' only to discover the corpse of the woman was leaking shit. The wife giving him heroin in the bath to release his knob from the corpse. The fire works in the home and the end family fight against the school bullies with the tools. All the good bits.

The Hit

 

[krtek a houby]

Bad Taste, possibly the greatest movie ever made.

 

[belboid]

The Hit

very possibly my favourite Hurt movie, that one.

 

[butchersapron]

You honestly like Restless Natives? Is it the Big Country soundtrack that swings it for you?

Certainly helps - i honestly though that it succeeded in making a small scale movie about idiots without making them too quirky or without the overall tone being too knowing or winky. It's not the greatest thing ever made for sure but it always makes me smile.

I watched Answer to Violence last night, polish film about young members of the resistance who carry out an execution of SS General Franz Kutchera the "the torturer of Warsaw". Bog standard film really post-war resistance film really - very popular in Poland for obvious reasosn.
