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

Or we could try and understand them under the same rubric of all other art or interpretation - that of films being social documents and so often saying things without intending to do so.
 
Watched The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi over the last few days. Unfortunately they were the new, fucked up versions but there's still enough good stuff in there to be enjoyable.

How did Luke get through the forests on Endor? Ewoked.

Horror films have always exploited base fears and have never been bastions of political correctness. Citadel is no more than a British variation of the backwoods horror film. Nobody seems to get particularly outraged when the US equivalent is represented as monsters, as with the likes of Wrong Turn. But we get all sensitive when trailer parks turn to council estates. What political effect do you think a low budget horror film will have on the UK population ? Do you think anybody really won't be able to distinguish the reality from what is a supernatural horror film where hoodies actually turn out to be supernatural creatures ?

You should try "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil", which turns that one on its head.

I've seen it. It's a one joke film which is fun for a while but it doesn't do much else than turn the narrow conventions of the slasher film on it's head rather than subverting stereotypes. The rednecks are nice simply because that's not what you are supposed to expect.
 
Watched the latest Statham film Hummingbird. His most recent attempt to show some acting chops along with his karate chops. To be fair, he does bring some emotional weight to the role, but he just looks like such a double hard hard cunt all the time even when he's doing lost and sorrowful and grief stricken and heartbroken.

The film is a watchable mess. Great for spotting London locations! The story is shockingly bad and over-sensational and tugs all the obvious strings in the most unsubtle ways......Nun with a past, homeless man with a past, the terrible streets of London, prostitution, destitution, remdemption, triads, eastern european gangs, unarmed combat, absent fathers, class divide, alcoholism, serial killers......and of course, the power of ballet to save us all from our demons!!!!

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it despie it being a clearly bad film. The STATH has this power over me. I blame my teenager for making me watch his shit!

Sold.
 
Stath is still on probation with me for the Deathrace remake, that was proper shit


I watched several episodes of Hannibal. Lecter matching business cards with recipe cards made me laugh out loud


Will Grahams trick is becoming a bit gimmicky

'I spread the ribs and grip the heart! this is my design'

This is the film i watched but it was called 'redemption'.
 
Dead Man Running

Following on from watching Doghouse the other night, another 2009 film starring Danny Dyer. You've got to admire his industry. He's keeping the British film business going.

Looks like you're on a roll. Next you should treat yourself to the deliriously awful Straightheads. Dyer and The X-Files' Scully go Death Wish in Shropshire.

Shoulda called Stropshire.

Stropshire: Yuppie couple go a bit vengeful after something nasty happens to them and they just can't FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE!
 
Watched Django Unchained. Disappointed tbh. Far too long, I completely lost interest once they got to Di Caprio's place, I agree with whoever said in a previous post about the dialogue not being up to Tarantino's usual standard and I found the set pieces quite lacklustre.

I suppose going by minute count is one way to rate the quality of films. :hmm:

TBH, with young kids I'm always looking out for a 90 minute film over six hour classics. That's why I'm watching Danny Dyer's back catalogue as opposed to Bertolucci's 1900 at the moment. :p
