I managed to watch five films in a row on a flight from India. They started off good but ended up shit. I think I ended up watching Red.
what else is there to do though?
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

I tend to wildly overreact to films on planes. It must be the combination of free booze and being that high up in the air. The Rob Schneider comedy The Hot Chick struck me as the funniest film ever and House of Sand and Fog made me weep buckets. When I saw them again back on solid ground they both were shit.

Not the ideal screen to watch a film whose main innovation is world building based on a spectacular amount of visual detail.

Not on Virgin Atlantic. I remember watching (the also shit) Scary Movie on a plane and noticed that the little kid next me was mesmerised the rather graphic glory hole and ejaculation gags on my screen.

Bunny and the Bull - Enjoyed......reminded me of Gondry's The Science of Sleep.
Iron Sky - Good fun, runs out of Steam...fell alseep for the last 15 minutes.....will go back and watch.
Lewis - Started with the pilot - fell asleep....will finish tonight.
Also watched latest two episodes of Boardwalk Emprie and a Dexter.....still enjoying them both.

Not always. I watched Y Tu Mama Tambien on a flight from the states to the UK and wow, the muff diving scene was in full leg spreading head shaking force when the air hostess came to ask me if I wanted anything else to drink wasn't it

The first episode of Lars Von Trier's The Kingdom.
Holy shit its like a Danish version of Twin Peaks, but a bit less subtle. Off the head. When it first came on I thought, this is far too dated I feel like I'm watching a 1981 episode of Crossroads but it's actually very good and the feel of it adds to the weirdness of the plot. Looking forward to the rest.
The end where Von Trier comes on and does a 'Jerry's final thought' for the audience is hilarious as well

It's my favourite ever TV series ever and I think it's actually better and more consistent than Twin Peaks. I've watched the whole thing four times now and still find it both scary and hilarious.
Just a shame they never made a third season, because unfortunately two of the older cast members died.

Lawless. Didn`t live up to expectation. I enjoyed it, but really wanted it to be much better. Great soundtrack. The epilogue was too sugary.

Watched this the other day and enjoyed it too, bloke who did Training Day IIRC.
I knew who was going to die in the end, have to say. Plot was a bit gash but some great characters and incidents (moaning cop and rookie meeting that nutter for one!)
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Finally got round to Cabin In The Woods last night.
Really enjoyed it, definitely a bit different and both funny / tense in equal measure. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was scary, but there were some effective set pieces. Liked the way it immediately felt like part of a wider story, like you could be dropped into the other countries' scenarios and see how their horror archetypes would play out (the Japanese scene was dead on). Also, the possibilities of each 'monster' being chosen for the task, rather than the Zombie Redneck Pain-worshipping family that got the gig.
Dialogue was great (nice little touches at the beginning like the piss-take of the PSA - "Where do you get these books, where did you learn to read?" "From you! I learned it from watching you!", felt like how people actually banter rather than speeches). Enjoyed Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins' back and forth too (the party and speakerphone scenes)
Went batshit in the final 3rd (the unicorn was a highlight) and began to borrow heavily from Whedon's previous stuff ('Ancient ones' deep in the ground feels oddly familiar 
) but still great fun.
Also good for playing 'spot the Whedonverse actor', nice to see Amy Acker again

Can do but only said I guessed who was going to die, not who did. And someone always dies.Jim W.:
Any chance of putting this in a spoiler ? No need to give the end away.
And yes, good film, very well written and quite gripping.

The Wild Geese.
Genuinely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Shit on every conceivable level. I actually felt sorry for Richard Harris. As for Richard Burton and Roger Moore, the less said the better on that one.
Outland.
Sean Connery displays his wide dramatic range as a sherrif on a mining colony on the third moon of Jupiter. Not bad, but let down by a final act where the scriptwriter obviously didn't bother his hole. Best thing in it was the feisty lady doctor with a 'lived in' face.

I watched the sci-fi flick In Time by the writer/director of the overrated Gattaca. It has a good premise, but is poorly executed. In the future time has become a currency and the poor have life spans of no more than a week or a day which they constantly scramble to extend, while the rich are virtually immortal. It has one of those "ding dong, the witch is dead" plots, where the little people rise up.
This has one of the most visually boring dystopian futures I've seen in a recent sci-fi film. In terms of production values it reminded me of 80s/90s straight to VHS flicks. A mid-range budget film, it cost a little more than Looper, which made a smaller budget go much further and unlike In Time came up with a fully imagined future.

Animal Kingdom - Very good.
There's seems to be a fair few Australian films about dysfunctional aussie crime families and they're all as bleak and miserable as the next.
A very good score too by Antony Partos....never heard of him before....will check out.

"A Night to Remember" - one of Mr.QofG's birthday presents. Classic film, understated yet quite shocking at times and, I gather, a fair portrayl of what really happened, as far as anyone can really know, aboard the Titanic.

I agree, Frances Sternhagen was the best thing about the film. Otherwise this sci-fi remake of High Noon was a bit like Alien without an alien. There seemed to be no real point for it to be set in space or in the future, most of it it could have just as well been taking place on a contemporary oil rig or a mine.
