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

[Part 2]

Finished The Wire, excellent stuff, probably rewatch in Winter.

And for some fucking unknown reason I watched Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay, what a load of shit.

 

[andy2002]

Rise - some vampire thing with Lucy Liu and Michael Chiklis. Not bad but not especially good either...

 

[CharlieAddict]

Wanted - this was a headache. worse film i've seen all year. maybe even the last two years.

 

[Jambooboo]

13 Tzemti - don't know if I wasn't in the mood but I didn't find it tense at all.

 

[colbhoy]

Having just purchased the first 2 series of The Wire (£14.97 each from Amazon!), watched episodes 2 and 3 of the 1st series last night. Very enjoyable so far - I have never seen it.

 

[DexterTCN]

good will hunting

it was good but some of the acting wasn't as good as usual but still was cool

I recently joined LOVEfilm and enjoying films popping through my letterbox. Not sure if I will watch it tonight but I have The Golden Compass to watch. Anyone seen it ? I read the books it's based on a few back and really enjoyed them.

yeh, there's a couple of threads on it if you do a search

me and my daughter are big fans of the books too, and weren't disappointed by the film...apart from a couple of bits. i'll say no more, but would be interested to hear what you thought of the film

 

[May Kasahara]

13 Tzemti - don't know if I wasn't in the mood but I didn't find it tense at all.

I had the same reaction - it's a well made film and enjoyable, but completely lacking in tension.

 

[Biddlybee]

Be Kind Rewind - bit silly, but really enjoyed it

Also watched Frida yesterday afternoon - loved it.

 

[May Kasahara]

Eastern Promises

It was pretty good.

 

[dlx1]

1st time see

children of men

what all the fuss about.

Quite. Looked good, otherwise pants.

Be Kind Rewind - bit silly, but really enjoyed it

Also watched Frida yesterday afternoon - loved it.

Both films which made me sob a bit, in totally different ways

 

[El Jefe]

I bought that and thought it was a bit pants - shit quality etc. And I LOVE The Make Up

 

[Sunspots]

Yeah, the main film Blue Is Beautiful was rather boring (-although the concept of 'defecting from the USA' was interesting), but much better if viewed with Svenonius' entertainingly ambiguous commentary. I thought all the live footage was electric stuff though.

The Make Up were so fucking cool.

Underworld

On Blu Ray. Good transfer, looked spectacular. Still pretty much rubbish, but enjoyable rubbish.

 

[DotCommunist]

worth it for beckinsale gothed up in a catsuit imo

 

[Iam]

Absolutely

 

[dweller]

The first I actually enjoyed more than I thought I would.

Have yet to see the second but really want to see it.

Watched this last night!
Not really sure what to say about it. Odd!

 

[CharlieAddict]

The Innocents - good dialogue. questionable ending.

2 Days in Paris - yep...that's how i see relationships too. choice. selection. is that person worth the baggage...and i love the 'fairy' scene. Recommend!

 

[kittyP]

The Innocents - good dialogue. questionable ending.

Which one?

Out of these?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Which one?

Out of these?

There's only one worth watching; the Pressburger/Powell one with Deborah Kerr.

 

[ViolentPanda]

"Cross of Iron" (again). I love seeing Maximillian Schell's supercilious Junker prick get paid back.
Also "The Nest", a French thriller about a warehouse burglary, a high security prisoner being transported to court by the military and a bunch of mad assassins trying to free the prisoner. Good honest hokum, especially the testicle-crushing!

 

[CharlieAddict]

Which one?

Out of these?

with deborah kerr - but it was in black and white...

you seen? i'm still thinking about it...

 

[Sadken]

Watched Hellboy last night. The story and dialogue were absolutely dire. Most ridiculous love story ever - why does EVERY film HAVE to have one? - but the visuals were excellent, as expected from Del Torro.

 

[Iam]

Die Hard 4.0

Mildly diverting, but well before the end I was ready to go to bed.

 

[Sadken]

Isn't that more of a comment on you than the film though? Or a bit of a metaphor for life itself?

 

[Iam]

Not really, just that the ending wasn't very good. The rest of it was ok (not brilliant, but ok), the ending was poor.
