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

[Voley]

Senna. I've only a passing interest in F1 but this was great.

 

[Orang Utan]

Bored at my folks, so watched Seven Psychopaths on my phone.
Not recommended (the film or watching it on a phone).
Some funny jokes and I love Sam Rockwell in anything.
Walken is as classy as always.
But, nah! Two stars

 

[rubbershoes]

Four Lions

Some very funny moments and Riz Ahmed was excellent. But it could have been better.

Senna. I've only a passing interest in F1 but this was great.

It blew me away and I hate F1.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Just watched The Hobbit.

load of shit.

 

[DotCommunist]

^^far too long spent in bag end imo. I put up wityh it cos I'm a huge fan, but I can see that one winding up casual watchers no end

I saw American Horror Story: Coven latest ep

and Sons of Anat=rchy latest ep


both had that early to mid season filler episode feel

 

[slightlytouched]

I promised not to watch Dexter 8 until my friend could watch it with me, and finally, we managed to meet and watch it last night! Only been waiting a couple of months! Last 2 episodes to watch in a mo! Phew!

 

[Garek]

Pretty Village, Pretty Flame

Excellent film. Truly excellent.

 

[imposs1904]

Wild Bill

I enjoyed it. Great performance by Creed-Miles. Why isn't that bloke better know?

 

[Voley]

The remake of Clash Of The Titans. The CGI Kraken was a better actor than Ralph Fiennes. I seem to be on a roll of watching enjoyably crap films featuring Liam Neeson atm.

 

[DexterTCN]

Race With the Devil. 1970s horror that in the....fuck, what's this decade called?...anyway, it's a fucking comedy now.


Well worth watching. Terrible.

 

[Part 2]

Martha Marcy May Marlene. Girl escapes from cult. It's very good. Not seen it mentioned here except by Reno, who seems to have disappeared.

 

[slightlytouched]

The Heat....not really that funny but both Bullock and the other bird are guilty pleasures of mine!

Populaire - French romantic comedy, starring Romain Duris - about typing competitions! set in the late 50s. quite a sweet romantic comedy, funny as well - Duris is my man crush

 

[Idris2002]

First two episodes of Breaking Bad season 4. The sound of barrels being scraped was looming large in this one. I am really going to have stop watching this rubbish. I have a CD of Verdi's Nabucco waiting to be listened to at home - I think I'll listen to that instead tonight.

 

[Yetman]

First 5 minutes of the The Bed Sitting Room. Absolute horseshit.

We're The Millers. Good actually. Aniston is still hot, and there were plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments along the way. A good family movie (if your kids are over 14)

 

[marty21]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunter_(2011_Australian_film)

The Hunter - thiller about hunting the last Tasmanian Tiger - thought it was excellent

 

[yardbird]

Silent Witness
As a relax whilst dinner is cooking, I've started watching Silent Witness from the beginning.
Years old and Amanda Burton is the lead.
The support actors are well interesting though.
A much younger Idris Elba - one for the ladies. Plays a boxer, so loads with his top off
A young Philip Glenister
And Ken Stott.
Loads of other faces I recognize.
Spot the star to be - good fun.

It's mint. Best post-apocalypse film ever.

It's mint. Best post-apocalypse film ever.

I hate 1960's comedy. Especially 'Carry On' films. OOer hows yer father! Nyeeerr! Ooo [insert loose double entendre for the 50,000th time here]!

Crap.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Philistine.

 

[flypanam]

The Bridge - that Scandi show on which the Tunnel is based. Losing interest fast with the references to the number five.

 

[avu9lives]

Just watched this on youtube but am stoned and a dont no what ta think off it at moment. It kinda washed me away a bit. Needs some thinkin i reckon... excellent photies of some of the Hollywood legends though and some crackin lighting techniques. Might go scowering for some Carole Lombard movies now. Av nowt else ta do.., Oh and the german subtitles might get on yer nerves a bit, dint bother me though.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Freaky Faron. It's an indie out of the Austin film community.

Faron is a caretaker, helping to protect humans from the aliens who've been imprisoned here in human form, because Earth is such a shithole. Everything's ok until she shoots a weatherman.

Another one: 80 minutes. It's German.

The movie sort of sucks, but the surprise ending truly is a major surprise. You just don't see it coming. At least, I didn't see it coming. Maybe others aren't as dense.

 

[Idris2002]

Sleeping Dogs. A lost classic from late 70s New Zealand. Set in a dystopian NZ trapped in a state of emergency declared by sinister right-wing politicians, it features a young Sam Neill as an ordinary bloke who just wants to be left alone, but finds himself caught up in the action whether he likes it or not.

Strip away the politics, and it's really a study in "masculinity at bay", set against the backdrop of the north island's forests, islands and small towns. What I'd be interested in knowing more about is, given that it was made in the era of Rob Muldoon (bizarre right-wing populist PM) and the anti-apartheid struggle (really divisive in NZ with a lot of violent street confrontations between police and protestors), did people really fear that they might end up in some sort of Kiwi 1984 at the time?

So, over to you, peterkro and gabi.

I thought you meant this. . .

No wonder I was confused.

It was the first 35mm feature film to be produced entirely in your little patch of heaven down there in the southern hemisphere.

Opposite problem to gabi,I'm from the generation the included Tim Shadbolt and Helen Clark people like that.Although I lived in Wellington and knew one of Muldoons daughters he was a minister in Holyoake's government and I'd left for Oz (for the second time) by the time he became PM.I was more involved with the stuff against Vietnam although the same people were also later involved in the anti-arpartheid stuff.I can't remember if I've seen film but will check it out.
