Started watching Weeds. First 3 episodes. Good fun. Kinda Desperate Housewives meets Breaking Bad.

I must say, I do feel awful for these upper middle class people and their terrible lives.....

 

[Voley]

Started watching The Shield. It's enjoyable but pretty cheesy. I watched four of them though so it must have something going for it.

I rewatched Sullivan's Travels (Preston Sturges, 1941) last night, and it was as good as I remembered it being. If you haven't yet seen it, I urge you to seek it out. It's a strange relic of when Hollywood made genuinely popular movies that you could enjoy as a bit of fun, but which also had a serious point at work as well.

The plot idea is that a Hollywood director wants to experience poverty, so that he can make more socially-conscious films. He gets more than he bargained for when he disguises himself as a hobo and sets out on the road. I won't say anymore as that will only spoil it for those of you who've yet to experience it.

I was also surprised that it's only 90 minutes - there's so much in it.

Wild Bill.

I almost switched it off after about 30 minutes. It did get slightly better but I didn't think it was great.

Makes a good double bill with Barton Fink

 

[krtek a houby]

"Thirst" - Korean vampire love story. Bizarre and brought to you by the director behind the Vengeance trilogy.

"The Kite Runner" - not as good as the book.

I think you mean Oh Brother, Where Art Though ?

 

[DexterTCN]

Yeah I have that. It was nowhere near as gory as I thought it might be. Nothing like the Vengeance stuff.

 

[Part 2]

Safety not Guaranteed. Good job it was only 85 minutes.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Mannaja - a very violent western which reminded me a lot of Keoma.

Really depressing soundtrack by the same brothers that did keoma too.

Loved it.

 

[Dr Nookie]

Just finished Sons of Anarchy Season 4 box set. It has gotten completely ridiculous now, but that said,I enjoyed this more than Season 3 (the Belfast one) which was utter shite.

And Tig alone makes it worth watching! (He's a guilty pleasure!)

Now got to wait until September for Season 5!

Also stars the gorgeous Veronica Lake.

House of Cards - the Netflix one - really enjoyed it
and Iron Sky - awful nonsense

 

[DotCommunist]

Iron Sky makes an excellent companion piece to Hebrew Hammer

 

[Thimble Queen]

super 8, a bit like a modern day goodies... Pretty good for a kids film. And it has zombies!

Also FAQ of time travel. I was a bit sleepy by the time we put it on so wasnt properly concentrating but it seemed pretty funny...

I'm hoping they do produce a prequel - when the Nazis flee to the moon

He's quite the diverse director. JSA and I'm a Cyborg but that's OK are quite different, also...

Watched ep 2 of Nashville. It's like Dallas but with music and cracking dialogue between the 2 main leads. I should hate it but I'm hooked

 

[DexterTCN]

I've had JSA sitting on the shelf for 2 years, still not got around to it.

It's been sneered at by some of the buffs but it's not that bad. We watched it at a DVD Bang in Seoul after our DMZ tour guide recommended it.

 

[belboid]

Hush - the first Mark Tonderai film, with elements of Duel and The Vanishing about it. I've meant to watch it for ages as I actually worked on it! I may stop telling that to people now, tho, because its just fucking stupid rubbish.

Lunch Hour - a 1961 oddity about a couple starting (??) an affair. He has to rent a hotel room for an hour so they can be alone - but he has to tell the proprietess a story as to why he and his 'wife' need the room. One he starts telling his 'wife' the story things take a turn for the...well, I'm not quite sure what. But its a great film, very well worth seeing.

for the rest of your life, pause before making a decision and say to yourself

What would Vic do?

Kill close friends and betray or let down everybody who believes in, loves and/or depends on you. Not sure that's a great master plan for anybody's life.

Shit.....that's where I went wrong was it?

 

[Reno]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Decent and likeable teen movie until the last 15 minutes when it turns massively melodramatic. I didn't need a major trauma as an explanation for the apparently unusual fact that a boy is very shy, which otherwise is well handled. I was also a bit puzzled that a bunch of kids who are quite aware of 70s and 80s indie music, would not recognise Bowie's Heroes.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Finished the British House of Cards, after watching the Netflix remake. The US version obviously had a much larger budget; but the British version has a nice gritty feel to it.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've had JSA sitting on the shelf for 2 years, still not got around to it.

I loved JSA (apart from the English spoken bit)
