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

Flash Point, a Chinese action/martial art film with donny Yen (Ip Man) which was enjoyable enough if you like that stuff, and I do.

He's added some throws and groundwork in, nice one.
 
American Reunion

Funny enough in places (especially after a couple of joints), not much plot, the usual T&A (+ Jason Biggs cock) and every single character from the franchise shoehorned in whether logically or otherwise.

One viewing is probably enough :D
 
The Island


Crap. Saw what was coming 10 minutes in to the film, then it went on for fucking ever. Sean Bean as well. Once good action scene.

Action sci fi for people who don't usually watch sci fi. Any one else will see whats coming well quick.
 
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - The US/Fincher version, better than I expected. Fincher's direction is a massive improvement over the Swedish version, which was utterly unimaginative, and Daniel Craig turns in a far better performance than his counterpart. Plot generally flows better too, although the last 20 minutes feel rather anticlimatic.
 
I watched episode 2 of Parade's End. Better then episode 1, but all the "thinking man's Downton Abbey" hype set my expectations up too high. It's watchable, but still not really rocking my boat and Downton Abbey is far more fun. I followed it with an episode of the gloriously trashy Revenge and maybe if I keep doing that, I'll finish Parade's End.
 
Pandorum - very good, cross between the Descent and Sunshine. Recommended if you like trapped in spaceship films.
 
Franklyn - what an awful awful mess of a film

One of the few films that I foudnd genuinely agonising to sit through at the cinema, there was just nothing good about it. I went with a friend and at the end both of us were resentful that the other hadn't suggested leaving at some point.
 
The Red Balloon, a stunning French Short from the 50s.

The Grey - it was ok, not your typically hollywood crap anyway, mostly.
 
Good owd reggie still funny as feck
Wasnt a great fan of rigsby if im honest but reggie used to even make me owd dad laugh and that was no mean feat

most or all episodes here

 
Just watching Bullet Boy now. Usual gangster has a mate who keeps fucking up kinda flick. Seems to always be the same actors in these films :hmm:

King of Kong - Excellent stuff :D Billy Mitchell the big smug twat.

Dale And Tucker vs Evil - funniest thing I've seen this year. Need some more good comedies outside of the Seth Rogen/other fat beardy fuckup fare. Project X was great though.
 
Sleep Tight (Mientras duermes) Dont usually watch too much of the horror genre but this one grabbed me by the ballsss, it's more of horror/thriller though.
I wont give too much away but just make sure you check under yer bed when you go to sleep at night ;)
 
Last night it was "The Raid" it promised much and mainly delivered -7th floor action was immense.

That leaves Iron Sky and Cowboys vs Aliens for Sat and Suns entertainment

Saw this recently at the Spanish Film Festival we had, very very good. And the ending didn't wimp out.
 
Chocolate has better action and stunts than The Raid, imo. It's deliberately emotionally manipulative (many MA films try to be though, The Raid had him worrying about his pregnant wife eg) but this doesn't distract too much from what is some really fine work - fuck working over there though, some of these stunts are obviously real and quite dangerous.
 
Blackadder Goes Forth Season 4

& Downloading Chocolate (stupid internet needs to be faster.........)
 
The Killer Elite - The best movie that De Niro has been in for some time. It's much better than most of the stuff in the genre.

Punishment Park - Excellent, while it is somewhat dated it still packs a punch. What other Watkins films do people recommend?
