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

[andy2002]

2012: Effects-laden disaster movie that was far too long and full of cliches but not entirely terrible.

 

[DotCommunist]

Youth without youth and 3 episodes of Walking dead. Strange disturbed sleep followed.

 

[miniGMgoit]

The Double McGuffin

 

[jeff_leigh]

Pusher 2 - So far a cracking trilogy

 

[stupid dogbot]

Continuing my current trend of spending my Saturday nights watching fucking atrocious films, last night I saw Solomon Kane.

Jesus fuck. How on earth did that get 83% on Rotten Tomatoes? Someone appears to have typo'd an 8 in there...

 

[Grandma Death]

Toy Story 3....brilliant and very moving. I'm in agreement with Kermode on this..the Toy Story trilogy is the best trilogy in film history!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Is that any good?

I had no idea what it was about but enjoyed it, although I've heard the book's better, although I've also heard that the Ukrainian's amusing use of the English language can get it a bit tedious.

I reckon I'll watch it again at some stage

Layercake
Very good film
Surprised I have taken so long to watch this. Will need to be watched again I feel.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Second Evangelion Rebuild film.

Ok so now for sure it has departed from the original storyline. One fairly major surprise at only two films in (of five) Yipes. First film was shite and we had seen it all before, this one is much better but I think I am just too old/bored to really care enough to get enough excitement together for it.

 

[Orang Utan]

skeletons - what an odd but pleasing find - a no-budget briish film about two oddballs who go around finding the skeletons in people's cupboards (their dakrest secrets) using antiquated technology. the two leads are excellent (a comic double act apparently), even though they resemble john digweed and andrew weatherall and jason isaacs is a surprise as their grumpy northern boss. it's well impressive as it's a truly original film and it was clearly put together with very little money. shame no one seems to know about it.

 

[stethoscope]

First series of Spaced - still superb.

 

[krtek a houby]

Might be time to watch Park Chan Wooks Joint Security Area again.

Good call. I remember watching it in Seoul, day after visiting the DMZ.

Watched 70s Japanese "horror" - House yesterday. Almost cartoonish but charming with it's low fi fx.

Some are worth repeat viewings.

yeah, i saw your review. just you and butchers and a couple of other mentions of it on here. saw a review in S&S too, but it deserves a much bigger audience.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"Storyville: Children of the Chinese Circus" about children at the Shanghai Circus School. Really quite depressing, such a culture of bullying, intimidation and, at times, humiliation from the top downwards.

Made me really appreciate what the kids have to go through in order to become acrobats and performers but I am not sure I would want to see the Chinese State Circus and support what came close, imo, to abuse.

That is very true. Nearly everyone I've made watch it really enjoyed it too.

 

[miniGMgoit]

I'm just about to sit down and watch Vanishing Point.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I know, especially Welcome to Dongmakgol and JSA. Actually, I quite fancy watching Bird People in China again and Shower and....
