What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

Crank - Saw it in Mozzers for two pounds and thought it would make the perfect, trashy as fuck, comedy action extravaganza for a lazy drunken Sunday evening.

It was just that :)
 
Simon Werner a disparu... AKA Lights Out - pretty good French thriller with the principle players being teenagers. The story is told from the perspective of four different characters. It's not outstanding or breaking the mold but it does what it does well. Soundtrack consists of Sonic Youth music from when they were good.

Les felins AKA Joy House - Crap, despite Alain Delon's presence its shit. Jane Fonda is particularly bad but the whole film is stupid and tedious.

Waited ages for english subs then it was just...good.
 
The Awakening. Old English style ghost story with Dominic West, Imelda Staunton, Rebecca Hall. Quite good, passable. The acting is top class.
 
I found a proper bargain buy when I was in Tesco's last night. So I now own 'Closer To The Edge', a documentary about the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races, and shall no doubt enjoy an hour and forty minutes of motorbike madness as soon as I have the time. I'm thinking that there might well be a possible article in it as well.

Mine for only 7 quid as well.
 
The Darkest Hour/Coming toooooooo the pound shop near you! Cant really review it coz me brains shut down! Ive had more entertainment peelin spuds!!
Even in 10 years time when its offered ta you fer 10p on a car boot sale yall still go home and watch it and feel robbed..........Arse

Try Crank 2. Its even more tasteless.

last night: pet Shop Boys Live DVD and "Baltic Storm". The latter, is shite.
 
Hiljaisuus - Silence

All I can say is thank goodness for the films of Aki Kaurismäki!

You could be forgiven for thinking that the entire budget was raised by a scruffy bunch of street urchins redeeming empty vodka bottles at the off-licence. Wooden acting, pitiful story and such languor that it would anaesthetise a cat for a year. I'm sure the train scene was courtesy of Hornby-Dublo.

Hang your head in shame Sakari Kirjavainen.

0/5

Sanity was resumed by a viewing of Pitt's Moneyball. He's starting to look like Redford!

4/5

"WarBirds" - a Sci Fi original TV movie from 2008.

Its even worse than it sounds. The Atomic Bomb is being transported to Tinian on a B29 (not the Indianapolis) , and it gets attacked by Flying Dinosaurs. They crashland on a Japanese held atoll, and then it gets even sillier as they try to escape before nuking all the dinosaurs, climbing to avoid the mushroom cloud but with two engines out. And the worse CGI I've ever seen.

Throughout which, the team of female civilian pilots (transporting the first nuke in the world, yeah right!) remain with perfect lipgloss and immaculate hair. I'm sure there's some pun about "Birds" and female pilots too.

My god, this makes Uwe Boll movies look good.Atrocious.
 
Corman's World. Entertaining if slightly superficial documentary on B-move director/producer and godfather of New Hollywood Roger Corman. As it's a cinema documentary it has a lot of big names in it they wouldn't have gotten for some TV or DVD special. Jack Nicholson bursts into tears while reminiscing at one point, which is rather startling.

Actually during the war. . .


US air force planes were delivered to their stations by members of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots

This must be its ancestor:



In the run for the dumbest looking movie monster ever. :D
 
Drive - its got an unexpected 80's vibe and some minging violent bits. I'm undecided as to how much I enjoyed it at the moment
 
Little White Lies...I suspect it was supposed to be funny in parts, and that some may love it. It wasn't my kind of film at all although the performances were good.

Dreams of a Life...I'd heard good things about this but I didn't think it was all that good really. I didn't get anything from it that I hadn't already read.
 
Game Change, the HBO drama about Sarah Palin and the run up to the 2008 presidential election. Pretty good, entertaining and scary as fuck. With Julianne Moore fantastic and spookily believable as Palin.
 
I've been enjoying my first full Saturday off in ages with

Sleepless in Seattle
Cast Away
Dirty Dancing

With a little bit of Top Gun whilst i was picking another film.

:cool:
 
The Three Faces of Eve What a stunning performance from Joanne Woodward playin a women with multiple personality disorder (Based on a true story)
