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

[belboid]

Carnage.

Made the most of the plays undoubted strengths but couldn't cover up its significant weaknesses. Whisky is wasted on yanks.

 

[Reno]

Chernobyl Diaries. Decent setting and premise, but this falls flat after a reasonably intriguing first half. The obnoxious lead characters don't help much either.

 

[Zac Stardust]

The Runaways. Very well done.

 

[Arlarse]

I'm watching Breaking Bad, just finishing series 1 and onward to series 2. It's one of the better recent US outings on DVD. I'm liking it anyway

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - A pre-apocalyptic comedy which started off quite well with a few laughs. But was ruined by the stereotypical, American movie romance formula of a relationship between a very average, stayed, middle-aged man and a beautiful, vibrant, young woman who generally behaves like a teenage girl.

There is a great Canadian indie movie from the 90s with a similar premise, called Last Night. Less annoying characters in that.

Although some of them are really annoying......

...it's a great film though....

Life - Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence. Very good but your typical Murphy & Lawrence comedy so you know what you're getting, one of the better ones though as they did get a bit shit later on 7/10

Leaves of Grass - so so comedy about a dude who swaps himself for his twin brother, and grows weed. Lots of snippets of philosophy and bud porn but not a bad though not a great story 6/10

Rounders - Gamblers fuck up and try and get themselves out of shit. Pretty good. 7/10

Dead Set - Big Brother zombie fest Good stuff, reminded me a bit of misfits 8/10

George Carlin - You are all diseased - Excellent! Didn't know about this guy, he's brill 9/10

And coincidentally, also starring Keira Knightley.

There's a 2010 film called last night with Knightly.....you want the 1998 one....

I made the mistake of downloading the Knightley one

Bummer....

 

[Jackobi]

I'm not sure if I should be glad that I held off downloading that Last Night last night and watched Inbred instead.

I suspect the Knightley film Last Night was better than Inbred, but most films are.

 

[Orang Utan]

I doubt it. It has Sam Worthington in a serious dramatic non-fighting role

Nope.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

The White Sun of the Desert. Another film about the wild east, again with a mix of influences, both from westerns and an old, imperial Orientalist legacy informing how history is interpreted. Oh, as well as just being a good, gun-slinging action film. More well-known in this part of the world than the two Ali Khamraev films mentioned in a previous post.

From an old DDR film program.

 

[renegadechicken]

Ted - what can i say, apart from thats an hour and a half i'll never get back. There are one or two funny lines in the whole film other than that its a bit err crap.

 

[TruXta]

The Cabin in the Woods. Excellent film. Loved the Lovecraftian stuff. Great plotting too.

Blinkende Lygter(Flickering Lights) - Four small gangsters from Copenhagen trick a gangster boss: they take over 4,000,000 kroner which they were supposed to bring him.

And? I remember loving it when I first saw it.

 

[marty21]

Frost-Nixon - thought it was excellent - and watched some of the original interview in the extras bit afterwards - pretty spot on.

Any good? Sounds a bit like Pusher, which if it is, is a good thing

 

[butchersapron]

Not at all - it's more like Brassed Off or the Full Monty.

 

[friedaweed]

iLL Manors. Shite London centric bollix

 

[DaveCinzano]

Shite London centric bollix

TBF it is set in London

I know I forgot to take my reading glasses to blockbusters. I though it was going to be 'Rude kid-The Movie' from the Viz

It was a real pleasure to watch, It's kinda like pusher as far as the dark humor goes, There's some brilliant Scandinavian movies out there.

 

[avu9lives]

Not a bad un if im honest but Oliver Reeds eyes kept makin me laugh though

 

[Mapped]

Juan of the Dead. We'd had a few beers, but it made us laugh a lot. In socialist Cuba the zombie apocalypse is a business opportunity.

Kill The Irishman - pretty good story about some Irish mobster in the 60's-70's in Cleveland, US. Kicked off with the mafia big time and generally didn't give a fuck. Proper dude True story like, 7/10

Forgot to mention, Vinny Jones' Irish/Lithuanian accent in this is hilarious. I'm sure they only added the Lithuanian bit in because his Irish accent was so terrible
