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

Dead Man. The Jim Jarmusch film with Depp, an ensemble cast and a kicking soundtrack by Neil Young.

It's an amazing film, much of it seems improvised. The perfect western :)
 
The docu or the film? I accidentally downloaded a film called Wasteland when I was looking for the documentary called Wasteland set in a landfill outside Rio.

Documentary :) I didn't know there was a film. I do want to see Wonderland though :D

The Doc's great. I saw it at the cinema a couple of years ago and wanted to watch it again with someone else. I went to put it on and got a film by the same name instead :facepalm: Wonderland looks interesting :D
 
Finally got around to getting a blu-ray player, so got a couple of films to test it with.....

Tin Tin - good little adventure film, funny at times......surprisingly violent too.....Indiana Jones and CGI Inkwell!

Hugo - Scorcese finally makes a film about films and the human condition without having to murder everyone. I really enjoyed it, mainly because I love that pioneer period of cinema when it was all about invention and creativity and magic and dreams. It looked lovely. Sacha Baron Cohen was very funny. All the cameo's were entertaining. It got slighty messy towards the end when everything was being quickly pulled together, but by then I was sold on it and just went with it.

The kid who played Hugo showed some promise.
 
Went back and rewatched Katalin Varga, Peter Strickland's (Berberian Sound Studio, not Berberian Sound System as i have heard many people insist on calling it) first film. Appreciated it a lot more this time around,what i thought was clumsiness turned out to be deliberate choices and so on, and, unsurprisingly i suppose, the sound design was very striking.
 
Tank girl - "Mmmm tasty. All those in favour of crumpets says aye."

I also watched the diving bell and the butterfly for a bit of Friday night teariness
 
Last night i watched we need to talk about Kevin, hobo with a shotgun and let me in. Preferred Let the right one in tbh much darker.
 
Zero Dark Thirty

Was good, you could tell it as by the same person who did Hurt Locker. It wasn't as 'America, FUCK YEAH!' as I expected it to be.

Djano Unchained

Going to watch that shortly... will report back!
 
Nanny McPhee ~ The kids loved it but i can only liken it to spending several hours of lying in a pool of someone else's rancid yet slightly warm urine
The Hobbit ~ Brilliant, the Goblin King was just ace, good stuff.

I was like.. naaaaa it'll be shite, but now solely based on your review......... I'm off to steal this.
 
Django Unchained

I reckon it's the best QT film since Pulp Fiction. It's great. That is all I am going to say :D
 
First two episodes Season 3 Walking Dead. Pacier than the second season but I quite liked the space in that series to let the characters develop and play out. Still can't stand the sheriffs wife and her son though.
 
0 crap 30. over-rated bore.

I enjoyed it and I think the yanks will probably nominate it for Oscars (which it doesn't deserve). If you're expecting a Black Hawk Down or something then yeah... it is going to be boring :)

Nah- I knew what I was expecting. Being a slow burning film doesnt necessarily make it an awesome film. Still found it boring.
 
First series of the walking dead. It's really good. Egg is a proper badass in this... Want to watch series 2 NOW! But its £25 on amazon. Anywhere know where I can watch online? ta
