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

I watched this three parter JLA cartoon. Vandal Savage alters time so the nazis won. So our heroes must go back in time to right this wrong and save the day. Been sporadically working my way through various JLA cartoons, DC really do better cartoons than films. Caught up with Ash vs Evil Dead, have to say the baal plotline is weak but then its all about the splatter and jokes really. Up to speed on Z Nation as well, now that has gone exceptionally weird. I don't know how they'll finish it and I don't recon the writers do either. Its still got it though.
 
possibly missed the gag cos I didn't capitalise 'Barb' so reading it as barb as in 'barbed comment' would seem odd. I will edit for clarity
 
Will give it a whirl this evening, but the first film I found was not the film itself but one taken by a video camera in a cinema. Are there a lot of cam files on there?

There's nothing available to stream on these that isn't already all over Extratorrent etc, so yes, if it's a new to cinema release, chances are it's a cam.

i think torrents are probs best for me, with my shitty laptop as there might be a lag between picture and sound like with youtube and other streams
 
Black Mass. Gangster movie. Quite liked it but it stuck to the Scorsese gangster formula a bit too much. There are other ways to do this sort of film surely. Great story though (true, apparently) and some good atmospheric shots of 70's Boston. Johnny Depps cadaverous main character a bit OTT. Some great shit 70s outfits.
 
Cheers, quite a clunky interface and it's hard to exit the programme but lots on there. Will give it a whirl this evening, but the first film I found was not the film itself but one taken by a video camera in a cinema. Are there a lot of cam files on there?
Cam files in new movies or At The Theatre sections but otherwise no. Are you running Kodi on a laptop or PC or android box ?

The more you use it the easier it gets to navigate, you learn where to find HD versions of films and TV, get your head around subtitles (I'm a bit deaf) etc....You can also build a library using a Trakt or IMBD account....I really like now I understand, but I was put off initially

I like the tutorials here, they are video and written: kodi addons - Page 1 - MJD

You do have to keep Kodi and the add ons updated and maintained. It's freeware/shareware, so can be glitchy at times, but I'd say 95% of the time it operates very well. Some add ons come and go as they get shut down (seems to be the sports ones and TV streams).

The moment new DVDs come out they tend to be on there....

Laptop. I still haven't watched anything on it as I got distracted last night and forgot. Watched torrents instead. I'm worried it will lag too much. Streaming is not something I'm used to as ime it doesn't work as well as just playing a downloaded file using VLC.
Nanker Phelge I use subs too as I prefer them when everyone's shouting and there's a lot of background noise.
 
Dirty Granpa

De Niro....ffs. Just why? you don't need the money. Some half decent gags but overall fratboy comedy pie fucking seth roganesque shite 3/10. And that three is only cos De Niro gets some decent lols

Didn't De Niro say he did any old shit as he puts the money straight back into theatre and grass roots stuff (for want of a better description)?
 
Ever since De Niro found interests outside acting....like his Tribeca regeneration...and ongoing business interests, his work has suffered. He is a businessman now...not an actor.
 
De Niro is fine in the films he appears in and plays the roles as required. That many of the films aren't very good is a different matter and that doesn't have anything with his actual performances. I haven't seen Dirty Grandpa and have no desire to, but he was very good in Silver Linings Playbook and fine in The Intern. He now mostly does comedy and he's good at it, playing off or subverting his tough guy image. Maybe one day someone will write him a meaty dramatic role in a great film again, but not many Raging Bulls or Taxi Drivers get made these days, especially not with someone at his age.

yes, how Meet the Parents works. Although in that he had a funnier script and better fellow cast members. Also it was novel to me to see the hardman doing comedic then. In Dirty Grandpa he is ALSO a retired badass, but this time ex special forces.
 
Kubo and the Two Strings.

I don't think I've ever seen a stop-motion animation film as good as this. It was absolutely wonderful.
