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

[Johnny Canuck3]

American Gangster.

If the cops could expend this much time and effort to catch this black gang, why couldn't they do the same with the Mafia?

 

[CharlieAddict]

shoot 'em up - good watchable dumb stuff.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've been watching peep show - watched series 1, now on 2.

It's quite good but I think I liked 15 Storeys High a lot more.

is that the one with the big chinese bloke? such a strange character...gives me the creeps.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yes， that's the one. I think he's quality!

 

[Sunray]

Beowolf, interesting look, strange story that I am sure I missed something somewhere because the ending was a bit hmmmm.
Ratatouille, which was just passable.
AVP Req... cant be arsed to even say the last word, its so utterly terrible.
Condemned, WWE trying to big up one of their own, using Vinne Jones. Passably entertaining but over the top violence just for the sake of violence.

(done over the last few days)

 

[CharlieAddict]

Yes， that's the one. I think he's quality!

i never got to finish the whole series.
but that character was played so well.

loved the episode where he goes for that job in the fish supermarket...

 

[CharlieAddict]

semi pro - DVD film. average.

 

[agricola]

"from the earth to the moon" first dvd, which (like the rest of the series) is exceptional.

 

[Orang Utan]

Black Knight - the best film in the world ever, of course

[May Kasahara]

I watched Sense and Sensibility again on tv last night. Mr K expressed his displeasure by going to bed

 

[dada]

paris je t'aime -

didn't get to see it whole the first time in the cinema.

it was a delightful little compilation of short stories about love.
from laughters to tears.
the chinese part was mental though.

The Dark Hour, an above average Spanish horror film whose original title translates more appropriately as The Cold Hour. It's about a group of survivors who live in an underground bunker of endless corridors after WWIII and who are trying to evade the creatures which were the result of the biological weapons used to fight the war.

 

[El Jefe]

Hard Candy - flawed but interesting. fantastic performances

That's going on my rental list - cheers

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Episodes seventeen through twenty of Lost series three. It's the TV equivalent of compulsively working one's way through a giant bag of Haribos long after they've started to make one feel sick.

 

[Orang Utan]

That's going on my rental list - cheers

I went to stick it on my list too, but it's already on there - d'oh!

The Girl Next Door (2007) – fuck me that was harsh

After reading up on the proper story it seems bits that happened in the film weren’t true, which was strange. Cant understand why they were added tbh. Great film though horrible to watch.

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 – I thought it was great, some guy captured by an evil scientist and forced to watch shit old films. He makes two robots to help him get through watching the movies and the basis of the whole film (and the TV series) is just these 3 sitting in front of a cinema screen taking the piss out of them. Great stuff

Agree with May, this sounds excellent.

The Girl Next Door is an adaptation of a novel by Jack Ketchum, which was fictionalised account of the torture and murder of Silvia Likens. The film An American Crime starring Catherine Keener was made at the same time and was more directly based on the actual case, though it also took some liberties.

Ha, I used to watch these every Sunday morning when I was a single man with time on his hands.

Yeah I didnt really get how the fictional bits added to the story though, they seemed a bit pointless really? Still, the general story is the same, and portrayed very well. Again, shows how easily people are led on to commit horrible crimes they would never have done alone

I only saw An American Crime. Despite sticking closer to the facts, it wasn't a very good film. Catherine Keener as the foster mother was miscast and Ellen Page (Juno) as the victim was wasted in an underwritten role. I'm curious about this one though.

 

[sojourner]

Dead Silence - I really liked this - reminded me of every horror film I ever watched as a kid

The Descent - bit of a lesbian deathfest this one. Cheesy schlock horror

 

[Reno]

lesbian deathfest

 

[foamy]

Eagle V's Shark. wasn't as impressed as i had hoped to be.

I quite liked the Descent. It seems most UK horror films end up being pretty good, and yeah the chick only aspect to it is great
