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

[DotCommunist]

Martin Fowler of eastenders fame investigating cannabis. A BBC3 docu. Most offensive is the whole 'I fort cannarbis was armless, just like my mates did. But look at the viet. slaves working in UK hothouse properties to supply you'. Don't you fucking dare put the evils of prohibition on me, Martin Fowler. Don't you or BBC3 dare.

First half of True Blood, series 3. Which was all jolly good.

I've been a bit disappointed in the first few episodes, mostly because all of the new characters are so dull, especially that vampire king git, the tedious werewolves and Sam's horrible fucking family.

 

[Belushi]

Das Weisse Band (The White Ribbon) v. good German film about a series of increasingly sinister events in a small Lutheran village on the eve of WW1.

 

[Part 2]

Skeletons...A few have written about this one in the thread, I'll add myself to the list of people who've enjoyed this great little film.

It really is something quite different, nice story, funny and heartwarming, no recognisable faces but good performances, loved it.

 

[DJ Pat]

Old 70s Jackie Chan classic, 'Spiritual Kung Fu', where the Wu Tang Clan got their name from!

 

[Biddlybee]

Cave of Forgotten Dreams - really enjoyed it.

 

[butchersapron]

I Saw the Devil - Korean Cross between Seven and the Vengeance trilogy. Been picking up really good reviews around the festivals and so on. Found it pretty disappointing and falling far short of the above mentioned though.

I quite like the King. You're quite right about the werewolves tho, and Sams family story seems eminently predicatable. His homoerotic dream about Bill was very funny tho.

 

[dilute micro]

A Bridge Too Far

 

[Belushi]

The Spirit of the Beehive.

 

[Part 2]

Megamind...Nothing special same as most of the CGI stuff, it's certainly no Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

 

[andy2002]

Inception: I'm no fan of Christopher Nolan but this was better than I expected. It's nice to see a mainstream Hollywood film have a bit of narrative ambition and some actual ideas for once. That said, there was too much exposition (at times you felt the cast were just explaining great big gobs of plot to each other) and Nolan's stuff is still a bit too humourless and cold to really engage me.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Clash of the Titans

New one. Load of utter wank.

 

[marty21]

The Ghost Writer - a ripping yarn.


got the Clash of the Titans to watch - the new one

Watched that myself lastnight, Will defineately need to watch it again

 

[starfish]

Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Thought it was a really good film that was a lot of fun too watch.

 

[butchersapron]

Elite Squad 2 - blistering follow up to...elite squad. Development of the themes of the first, but this time looking at the intersection between political and police corruption. I somehow doubt those muppets who mistook the first films angry rejection of flabby context-free social liberalism for an endorsement of fascism will be making the same stupid mistake this time. Highly recommended.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"30 Days of Night" - alright for a Sunday evening, some good vampirage but Josh Hartnett didn't convince me he was a Sherriff as he looked about 15. Though he also does look a little like a young Tommy Lee Jones as well so swings and roundabouts!

 

[Captain Hurrah]

I liked that. The bird's eye view was pretty good, with the vampires running about.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Yes that was good - I liked the vampires too and I liked the fact that it wasn't explained where they were from or anything like that, they just arrived and destroyed!

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Yes!

 

[Phenol]

Clash of the Titans (newone) - speechless

Taking Woodstock - excellent fillum.

 

[100% masahiko]

Ip Man I and II - there is something insanely nationalistic with these type of films - some of the themes made wifey cry!! Martial arts movies aren't meant to do that! (good films though. old school themes).

The Expendables - terrible. terrible.

Legend of the Fist - again, a pro-china martial arts flick. But fuckin' cool and recommend.

The Last Airbender - unwatchable unless you're suffering from brain rot.

 

[Part 2]

First 4 episodes series one of Grange Hill.

It's great, I'd forgotten Roger Sloman as the games teacher and there's a few recognisable faces from Mike Leigh films too.

 

[DJ Squelch]

You Don't Know Jack. An HBO film about the life of US assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian. Brilliant performance from Pacino in the lead role

 

[Belushi]

Dogtooth. Dark, funny, weird.

 

[avu9lives]

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters great stuff! Best doco ive seen fer ages! Recomended~~#~

 

[mentalchik]

The Town - really enjoyed, great film

 

[krtek a houby]

Wayward Cloud - Taiwanese oddity about porn films, watermelons and song and dance.

 

[DotCommunist]

I managed five minutes of Pursuit of Hapyness the other day before I had to leave the room.
