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

I think it tried to. It may not have worked, but it tried.

Fair enough.

I still hated the ending though. I was watching it with my kid. It made me feel awful.

Seemed to have a different effect on him, though. Reminiscent of the old woman in the pharmacy, he went and got a can of Axe antiperspirant spray, a box of matches, and went out in the driveway and made an aerosol flamethrower.:D
 
just now - Pan's Labyrinth on ch4 right up to the fucking brutal torture/shooting of the farmers for anarchist 'propaganda' and the discovery of the rabbit. Wasn't planning to watch it tonight - not it the right headspace, just meant to make sure that ch4 hadn't got hold of a dumbed down dubbed copy, Mirror tv guide didn't mention that it was subbed (or any thing about it being Spanish even), can imagine loads of very confused viewers who'd been watching Wife Swap or was expecting something like Hellboy going WTF?!!!!!????

Bit of dialogue seemed missing on the subs when the son was defending his father, is it like that on the dvd?

The praying mantis? insect drifting in and out of the 'real' world and the girls story is like the anti-Jiminy Cricket.
 
The version C4 show is the theatrical release - they don't make a different version for tv anymore - I think ITV used to, but even they saw sense in the end
 
The Thin Red Line
I've seen it before but its still one of the best films I've ever seen. Heard a rumor there is a longer cut around. Have to try and track it down.
 
Watched The Edukators (2004) on film4 last night, (Sat 27/9) first ime viewing, in bed with one eye open. unable to shut it ;)
Still left wondering about the oxygen machine? was it purely! obsessional or what?
Enjoyed

Finally got round to watching Cloverfield last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seemed perfectly for Sunday night viewing and doesn't feel that compromised on the small screen.
 
Long Weekend - Australian horror film in which unpleasant bickering couple go camping, disrespect nature and get learnt by nature in return - glaringly obvious symbolism but pretty effective stuff - the undead dugong is particularly chilling. Great soundtrack too.

Shit, can't believe I missed it.

*goes to check for repeats*
 
The Sex and the City film - it was Mrs SFM's birthday at the weekend and she wanted to watch it. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be but really bloody long.....
 
Animal House.

Still as good as I remember, if enormously dated.

Might do Porky's and American Pie for the full teen-sex comedy experience.

Cheers, you've just reminded me to put this on my Lovefilm list :)
 
Zombie Strippers. :rolleyes:

jesus, what's wrong with some people who actually recommended this. And you can shove your 'so bad it's good' up your idiot backsides.
 
Eagle Vs Shark.

Really enjoyed it, but think it was a bit overdone in places, that kind of Napoleon Dynamite geeky flatness needs a subtle touch and this didn't quite get it. But it was really nicely put together, quite sweet and the female lead was great.
 
Watched Street Kings (thanks to B0B2oo9 for that) which was actually pretty good. Found myself liking it, then not liking it, then not getting it, then liking it most the way through.

I am not the biggest fan of cop films but this was good. The story has been told before I guess and it could be said that the actors performances will not bring any Oscar nominations.... Still worth a watch though :)
 
"Porco Rosso" - beautiful, as are most of Studio Ghibli's films, and with a touch of melancholy about it

We had recorded it from the TV ages ago so sadly it was the dubbed version - I prefer subtitles as I like to hear the timbre and emotion of the original voice actors even if I don't understand the words being said.
 
Bucket List - mrs cried, I thought it was pretty good. Watching it while wrecked can be quite hilarious - the bit with the 'eyes' in the hospital and the shuffling around of Jack Nicholsons character more than echoed that of Kyle's father when he has the operation to turn into a dolphin in South Park :D

Waz - was more believable and less nasty than Saw, which is the most simliar sort of film I can link it to, but I dunno, it lacked a bit of punch. Was still good and watchable though. ***
 
The Darjeeling Limited.

Far better than I was led to expect, although not fantastic by Anderson's standards. I did really enjoy it
 
i liked it too Jeff. :) i want my very own compartment on that train.

i watched In Bruges. much better than i expected - Fiennes as a London gangster was great. :cool:

In Bruges was so much better than I expected

"...two manky whores and a racist dwarf" is one of my favourite lines in a film ever, for some reason
 
heh :D

wasn't sure about Farrell at first, cos he annoyed me. but thought it really worked. i might watch it again cos i kept getting distracted, and i have a feeling there are quite a few 'lines' in it. :D
 
I watched 27 Dresses. It was ok, nothing special. I've just bought Knocked Up in Woolies for a fiver so I might watch that later.
