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

[jodal]

Sharkwater - shit doc about sharks.

 

[Badgers]

Went to the Ritzy last night and watched Smart People which was not terrible but far from enthralling. Was not badly acted or anything, just no point in it being made IMO....

After about 45 minutes I just wanted it to end....

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Munich" - brought up some interesting feelings/ideas about the nature, validity and efficacy of revenge, some effecting scenes especially when the Palastinian fighter is likening his struggle for a homeland to that of the Israeli struggle for theirs, but ultimately overlong and lacking in something - soul maybe.

Good performances from Eric Bana and especially Ciaran Hinds plus Micheal Lonsdale and Mathieu Amalric's whose characters were, I found, the most interesting i.e. were they terrorists themselves, were they immoral?

However ultimately I think I would have got more out of a documentary about the Munich killings than I did out of this fictional account

 

[Ranbay]

National Treasure 2 - OMFG.... why?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

National Treasure 2 - OMFG.... why?

That made me laugh

We watched to first one on a plane and, as I love fun action type movies, I was really looking forward to it.... What a load of old bollocks! I was only glad I hadn't paid good money (apart from the plane fare!!) to see it at the cinema.

 

[Ranbay]

The first one was ok in my memory, saw it ages ago on DVD, wanted something easy on the eye for yesterday, so i said lets stick this on.... i was shouting at my TV it was sooooo bad.

 

[Sunspots]

Shadowplayers

More self-mythologising, and various truths. Factory Records must surely be one of the most well-documented post-punk scenes.

 

[Scaggs]

I just watched 'Primer', a low budget ($7.000) scifi film about time travel. It looked great for the price and the acting was pretty good too, but I didn't understand most of it. The dialog was very technical and, apparently authentic, but it was also drowned out by background noise. It did look interesting though and I'm going to try again later, this time with the subtitles turned on.

I'm not ashamed to say that I found that film fairly incomprehensible.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I watched the Golden Compass last night, and I thought it was rubbish. I had difficulty staying awake!

 

[Orang Utan]

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - what a silly film! Ludicrous, full of plot holes and awfully clunky dialogue, but then so are the others, the difference being that I'm grown up now.

One Day in September.

Finally watched the Lives of Others.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Even when the bear got its jaw smacked off?

Well yeah it wasn't all that but better than I had expected.

 

[Orang Utan]

30 Days Of Night - it was OK actually - lots of killings!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

One Day in September.

Thank you for that - I saw that mentioned when I was doing a bit of internet research after watching "Munich". May see if I can get hold of it

 

[Yetman]

No Country For Old Men - didnt really rate it tbh

 

[Orang Utan]

Everything Is Illuminated - very enjoyable and touching, though they messed with the story in a way that didn't make sense. Elijah Wood wore glasses and did little else, but Eugene Hutz was great, as was the grandad. Star of the show was the dog though.

 

[zenie]

Into The Wild - took ages to get going, and possibly one of the saddest films I've seen for a while. Certainly made me think a bit.

 

[dada]

10,000 B.C. -

it was ok only. not as good as i expected.
and the first scene of hunting reminded me of a .

 

[jeff_leigh]

In the Valley of Elah - Expected there to be more to the plot than just a drunken fight, Don't know why the right have condemned this movie as I don't think it was at all critical

 

[extra dry]

*jealous*

I've been watching season 5 again on tvchoiceondemand...so frustrating though cos you only get one episode a week

www.tvshack.net has them all....

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Red Road. Depressing.

Then I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark to cheer myself up

 

[jeff_leigh]

Neighbour # 13

 

[idioteque]

I watched the 2003 Zatoichi last night, really liked it and would recommend. Beat Takeshi is just so fucking cool.

Yeah I love the dance at the end

 

[idioteque]

Yeah, it was great, but so random! We were all pretty confused when that came on, but were loving it

thank you

(i prefer to watch stuff on the telly though - lying down and dribbling on a pillow )

 

[sojourner]

We watched SATC yesterday. Boring, overall. Couple of funny moments. Nowt to cry about. I spent most of my time thinking 'how the FUCK do they walk in those shoes??!!!'

 

[mentalchik]

Sunshine

and had an added bonus......

mmm mmmmmmmm m
