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

Wake In Fright - A bit slow to start & I thought it might end up being boring, but it turned out really good. The Yabba looked alright to me, I'd live there.
 
well its a scriptwriters fantasy at how explosive decompression goes down anyway, so people cleverer than me have said. Exploding heads do spice up things tho.
 
I tried watching Dark Star - Hippies in Spaaaace - last night, but turned it off when nothing happened after forty minutes.

The film is okay, but for me the unoriginal story could've been made more tense, especially the lone sheriff waiting for his High Noon showdown with the assassins.
 
I did not watch a dvd....but I found out that Debra Winger was the voice for ET. Probably everyone else knew this.

She provided the temp track of which they kept little bits here and there. Most of it was recorded by a woman called Pat Walsh and there are others who were involved as well.
 
I watched Dog Pound. Was it officially a remake of scum? It was pretty much scene for scene the same film. Once again, had a quite a good soundtrack that featured a band called Balmorhea who make some good Warren Ellis/Dirty Three type stuff......

Anyway.....there were some very good performances in it, and it managed to deal with the same old same old prison themes without resorting to too much cliche......
 
Adam Chaplin, the blurb said it was a manga themed revenge movie. Possibly the bloodiest & most bizarre film i have ever seen. It was Italian made but had 2 thugs called Ben & Derek. It was a pretty full on what the fucking fuck film :eek::eek::eek:

Today we watched Chinatown. Somehow id never seen it before. Very, very good.
 
beasts of the southern wild ~ it was alright, but most of the time i had no idea what the fuck was going on.
 
Chronicle- good little romp about some teenagers who develop super powers

Safety Not Guaranteed- absolute belter of a film around a journalist and two interns investigating an advert for time travel.Very well scripted and some great understated turns in the story. Recommended.
 
Iron Sky - well, it has its moments, and you can't not love the premise, but, yeah.

Ip Man - great kung-fu film, don't know how I've missed seeing it for so long.
 
The Legend is Born - Ip Man, that's the rubbish one...well Donny Yuen isn't in it and I was expecting him to be in it and he wasn't! So it can fuckety off.
 
He's wrong, Ip Man 2 is just as good - it's Ip Man 3 (might be called zero) which isn't as good.

Nope, I am definitely thinking of Ip man 2.
It's not a bad film but it's a very standard Chinese marshal arts film following a fairly well trodden plot.
Worth watching but not as good as Ip man 1. I don't think I would have sat through the lot if it wasn't for the fact that there was the history if Ip man 1 behind it. That would be a bit of a shame though because it's not a 'bad' film. Like I said before, it's not as good and far more generic.
