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

[jeff_leigh]

Assembly - A soldier fights to gain recognition for comrades who died during the Chinese Civil War.

 

[The39thStep]

Get the Gringo- Surprisingly good if total tosh story in which Mel Gibson ( looking somewhat old imo) gets himself in and out of a Mexican prison and on to a beach with a reasonably fit looking mother.

 

[The39thStep]

Kill List.

Fuck me. What a grim film. Like Mike Leigh doing Wicker Man.

Really enjoyed that

 

[The39thStep]

Inception. Not as good the second time round.

had to have the plot and stuff explained to me by my 19 year old daughter whilst watching. Perhaps too much vino El thuggo

 

[Orang Utan]

Virgin Suicides - it made me hate Sofia Coppola a little bit. She turned a great book into a nothingness with a pretty soundtrack and nice furnishings

 

[DotCommunist]

The Prophecy

 

[Reno]

The Prophecy

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[DotCommunist]

ok, Walken delivers as Gabriel, viggo mortensen turns up as satan.


Its a ctholic heavy angelic horror about a second war in heaven

nd I'm watching The Prophecy 2 tonight

 

[Orang Utan]

Ctholic? Is that Lovecraftian?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Wuthering Heights (Andrea Arnold). Rather liked it, certainly very atmospheric, but maybe not as much as her previous films.

 

[DotCommunist]

lots iof Southpark series 16 including a passover special with cartman LOL


Prophecy 2. Walken IS Chirsitopher Walken. Not as good as 1 but still worth it

Bits of Wind that Shakes the Barely. Wasn't in the mood

fell asleep with The Craft on

 

[Part 2]

Children of the Stones yesterday. I've never seen it, just wouldn't have been my thing as a kid. As with so much drama of the time though, it's just way ahead of anything made for kids nowadays.

Last night, Avengers Assemble. I found it a bit boring.

 

[Me76]

Tyrannosaur. Really moving and very well done.

 

[starfish]

Island of Death, a young British couple go on a sex & murder rampage on Mykonos in the mid 70s. ms starfish recorded it from the horror channel. I really do worry about her sometimes. It literally had everything in it.

 

[Mephitic]

Smiley. .....face is totally blank save for the smiley face he carved there himself, ans he can be summoned through the Internet by typing "I did it for the lolz" 3 times. Terrible, terrible movie i would have switched it off if i could have been bothered.

 

[Orang Utan]

Island of Death, a young British couple go on a sex & murder rampage on Mykonos in the mid 70s. ms starfish recorded it from the horror channel. I really do worry about her sometimes. It literally had everything in it.

And a goat!

 

[starfish]

And a goat!

And an "I fart in your face" moment too

 

[Callie]

I have recently watched Avengers Assemble - which was easily watchable and mildly amusing. Mewling quim is my new favourite insult.

Prometheus. Meh, predictable ( ORLY?) and generallly a bit dull.

 

[DotCommunist]

Watched 'Death Becomes Her' the other night as well, in which the central message seems to be an alcoholic bruce willis is excused for being a total cock-led idiot andthose horrible women get punished for their desire to stay young. Lols ll round.

maybe I am cynical

It was quite funny tho

 

[Zac Stardust]

Escape from New York.

 

[stethoscope]

La Mala Educacion - love this!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Triangle. Enjoyable but mental with multiple plot holes

 

[jeff_leigh]

Attack the Gas Station - Four disaffected youths rob a gas station but find their plans complicated and sidetracked before the night is through.

 

[rubbershoes]

Snow buddies

5 Labrador puppies get stuck in an ice cream lorry and parachuted into Alaska. They meet a Husky puppy and become a kick ass dog team .

Did I mention all the dogs can talk?

 

[geminisnake]

Harry Potty and the Deathly Hallows part1. Tonight we might watch part 2!

 

[DaveCinzano]

Kill List.

Fuck me. What a grim film. Like Mike Leigh doing ********.

I hate that type of description, and I hate that description. It's a lazy description and essentially a spoiler.

I really liked the film (apart from the aforementioned spoiler), because it's a film that's made as a film, and not a filmed book or a filmed play.

 

[AverageJoe]

Well get you, Mark Kermode.

 

[Mephitic]

Ill Manors - I rather liked it, Plan B rapping / singing as part of the movie summary narration was kinnda cool.

 

[Yetman]

Dead Man Running - British action flick with everyones favourite cockney geezer 'ahz abaat a quick snaat' Danny Dyer, which I actually quite enjoyed Dyer's acting is as pesh as ever but the story is pretty good and better than some of the Brit flick gangster standards that are flooding the shelves recently. 50 cent is also in it which is a strange casting - probably just to get a bit more attention across the water.

EVERY SINGLE BRITISH GANGSTER FILM in the past 3 years seems to have Ashley Walters in it. What is that all about?

 

[Garek]

Costa-Gavras's 'Z'. Really enjoyed it. Some lovely, humorous little touches in it without detracting from the graveness of the subject matter.

If anyone can remoend any books about that point in Greece's history please let me know.
