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

[andy2002]

Thor and Chronicle - thoroughly enjoyed both, especially the latter which reminded me of Carrie (once you cut through all the found footage/super powers stuff).

 

[thriller]

chronicle is more for teenagers. was ok, but nothing worth revisiting again.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

 

[Mephitic]

project X - some funny bits, great music, way better than I had anticipated
pontypool - pretty good, worth watching

 

[JimW]

Well, they seem to have caught the gist of what's going on. I usually check them sort of posts for one-pixel invisible spam links tho.

Chinatown, still as great as ever.

Love that film

 

[MBV]

Moon - enjoyed it. Recommended.

 

[Reno]

Love that film

..and every time I watch it I keep hoping it won't end that way.

 

[renegadechicken]

Project X
Thoroughly enjoyed it-some cracking bits in it

Snatch (again)
Still like this one - Jason Statham with a normalish accent, something he appears to have lost now.

What, followed up by The Two Jakes? I feel your pain

It's not THAT bad, just nowhere near as good as Chinatown (a bit like Godfather III).

No, the ending of Chinatown is perfect of course, it's just one of the bleakest endings ever. I dread it as it approaches.

Something I'd never noticed before is that the first time Evelyn gets shot at while driving away (from the old folks home, rescuing Jake), she touches her left eye, as if having a premonition. It's subtle, but quite haunting.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Terminator.
Bit boring really.

 

[redsquirrel]

TBF I don't think the Two Jakes is actually that bad, it's just that compared to Chinatown it's nothing.

 

[Grandma Death]

Hunger. Watched it last night and again tonight. It blew me away (obviously)

 

[colacubes]

Deja Vu. First half quite good but the second half is predictable and dull as fuck.

 

[DexterTCN]

Dr Strangelove. Still brilliant in a different age.

is that or is that not a cross between blair and bush?

 

[Ranbay]

Project X - was ace way better than i thought it would be.

 

[Reno]

Almost every Hollywood film is these days.

caught this on TV the other day on channel whatever at stupid o´clock: Miss Cast Away and The Island Girls. I was so flabberghasted at what I´d seen I had to look it up. In doing so, I think I found the greatest film review of all time:

In short: Take an enormous dog turd, coat in dried vomit and flecks of yellow dandruff, marinate in period blood and lightly drizzle in old man’s piss. Now consume slowly for 1 hour and 27 minutes and you get this film.

No, the Greatest Film Review Of All Time is, as any fule kno, The Groke on Battlefield Earth.

Captain America – I'm not a big fan of Marvel as a company (owned by Disney, a history of treating creators like shit), but their characters seem to make the transition to the big screen really well. On the surface, this is a very different film to the likes of Iron Man and Thor (it's set during WWII for a start) yet because of strong storytelling and ingenious world building you're never in any doubt that they all happen in the exact same universe. Chris Evans makes a terrific Cap and I'd love it if they got round to doing a Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier movie too.

Red Hill - at first i was like naaaaa, then i was like oooohhhhh, and then I was all ah~ah. Some decent watching.

Ooh Steve Bisley, I could do with some o' that

 

[thriller]

Just finished Priest with Paul bettany. Meh.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I'm starting a BBC tv series called Robin Hood.

 

[butchersapron]

lol

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

lol

God love you for the sweet and charming individual that you are.

 

[butchersapron]

I'll save you time - it's not like the other one, it's a bit of a camp romp. Hope you enjoy it. Wasn't meaning to be sneery but lol

I've watched 2 episodes so far. The Merry Men haven't even formed up yet.

So far, it isn't up to the standards of some of the other British tv series I've watched recently, like Life on Mars; but I thought I'd give it a chance by watching at least a few episodes.

Surviving Progress - very hard hitting documentary charting human progress and how the last 200 odd years has been a failure in terms of the environment and social relations. It covers economics, materialism and environmentalism. It's a good watch despite all that, it's not as dry or depressing as the above description may seem. It's on iPlayer.
