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

[Voley]

The ending of The Shield was so good, Rick consigned to his own personal Hell, I'd recommend The Wire if you haven't seen it ditto Breaking Bad

Yeah I loved The Wire. Will crack on with Breaking Bad after Deadwood I think

 

[The Boy]

WarGames (1983). A young Matthew Bwodewick playing tic-tac-toe with a computer. Nuclear weapons are involved.

I gave that Bosch series a go - it was pretty good, not brilliant. Good mix of genres - serial killer/court room drama etc. But the problem is that i've seen the wire. Also watched a film Lincoln Lawyer about the lead detective in Bosch's brother, a lawyer who is essentially the same character but with a mumbling McConaughey instead. Again, good but not brilliant.

Greatful dead - attempt to rip of Sion Sono as far as i can tell. Girl spies on solitarians (people consumed by grief and regret to the point of madness) and battles for possession of them with South Korean christians. Just stick with Sono.

Malcolm - little aussie film which i'd remembered as being a cousin to Restless Natives but which on rewatching appeared to be close kin to sex lives of the potato men.

The Blue Room - very well done take on a Georges Simenon story, but just so damn french i couldn't take it all that seriously.

Diamonds for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat - rather confusing mix of social and political comment and adventure and stuff like that as whites, SRs, bolsheviks, british german and french agents, criminals etc look for some actual diamonds (whatever can they symbolise!) across estonia ansd russia - i'dlike to see it again with better subs. It also goes from Black and white colour randomly. Oh yeah, Arvo Part did the music.

 

[Idris2002]

I thought i better give american sniper a go. Wow. That was horrific. I don't understand what sort of brain could make that...that..thing. I feel sullied for having watched it.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Awful. I once watched all three back to back (was in a bad place at the time).

1 is decent, 2 is fantastic, 3 though....that emo bit is still unbelievably bad.

 

[sovereignb]

Continuum - Canadian time travel series

The whole 2nd series...not bad at all. But showed me again why i dont invest time in series. I guess i have a short attention span and after awhile i giving up caring what happens. Same happened with Homeland

 

[DexterTCN]

Dazed and Confused. Linklater's homage to growing up in the 70s is bitter-sweet. There's no story but plenty of depth, the humour balanced by an underlying cruelty and emptiness.

 

[The39thStep]

Frank- disappointing really.Loosley based on an ex keyboard players slim book on his time with Frank Sidebottom but in fact nothing to do with Frank Sidebottom .offered some insight into the bizarre world of an act in a paper mâché head but nowhere as good as Mick Middles attempt to explore the impact of a bizarre alter ego being more famous than the musician inside. Looks like I will have to wait for Steve Sutherlands documentary but someone somewhere should be making a Hollywood blockbuster on Frank Sidebottom.

How come he didn't get an award at the Brits rather than the fucking Foo Fighters?

 

[Orang Utan]

I think the fact that it's nowt to do with him is pretty obvious from the start. It's a brilliant film, if you accept that.

 

[Belushi]

Silver Linings Playbook (David O. Russell 2012) Enjoyable enough romantic comedy, Jennifer Lawrence is as terrific as always in it.

I thought it was brilliant, JL the best of them all. I've seen it 3 times.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

After Lucia - gripping and disturbing

 

[8115]

Kiki's Delivery Service (Studio Ghibli). Predictably great.

Now I am watching Finisterre, the first film on the DVD by St Etienne "A London Trilogy". It's so good.

 

[The Boy]

Slaying the Badger (2014). One of the better cycling documentaries. Well worth a watch.

 

[The Boy]

Rififi (1955). Classic.

 

[The Boy]

Robocop (2014). Really not very good. No doubt someone will be along to disagree, but yeah. Big sweaty pants.

 

[starfish]

First 2 episodes of the new House of Cards. Really enjoyed them but not sure if have time to fit it in except maybe at weekends. Would like to even though I kinda know how it should turn out.

 

[starfish]

Had The Wanderers on in the background last Friday night. Still holds up. Great music, funny moments, nice love story & huge big excellent fight scene.

Leave the kid alone.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

The Sentinel - shit film with Kiefer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Should have re-watched a couple of 24 episodes instead.

 

[magneze]

Pain & Gain
Not that great at all.

House of Cards S3E01
Glad it's back, top quality all the way through.

 

[Voley]

Watching 'Che' again this afternoon. Just about to start on the second film now. It's as great as I remember.

 

[DotCommunist]

I watched Educating Rita this afternoon. For a film that doesn't use the C word once it talks about it a lot. Seems somehow crude and dated but the perfomances carry it. and the issues surrounding eduation and class haven't gone away so perhaps its just the age of the film making it seem dated to me

 

[Ted Striker]

I thought it was brilliant, JL the best of them all. I've seen it 3 times.

Yup, an underrated (as much as Hollywood blockbustery things can be) gem IMO. De Niro surprised me the most tbh - was the perfect role to show how Bradley Coopers character came to (though all parts were very good). Sod it, that's tomorrow nights film sorted

 

[Idris2002]

The Conformist.

Still as brilliant as I remember it. Marcello is an even bigger shit than I remembered.

 

[DotCommunist]

Nanny McPhee one. I've seen two already. There are no words.
