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

[Part 2]

I love you Philip Morris....great story, really enjoyed it.

Jim Jones People's Temple Jonestown Massacre documentary...seen it before, it's an excellent film.

 

[gavman]

Tremors: Kevin Bacon fights gigantic, people-eating worms burrowing up from inside the earth... Great fun

that is an ace fillum

i'm about to watch a remake of 'the crazies'

 

[andy2002]

Surrogates - great premise squandered by a film that is too lightweight, functional and vanilla to do it justice. Even Bruce Willis is a bit subdued.

 

[Motown_ben]

Im about 6 episodes into Sparticus - blood and sand. I know its not everyones taste but me and the missus manage to fit an episode a night in at the moment. If you like blood, guts, nudity and fucking set to a gladiator background id recommend it!

Green Zone

Better than I expected it to be.

 

[Reno]

Picnic at Hanging Rock. I watched this one quite a few times in the late 70s and 80s, but hadn't seen it for a while. This was the directors cut, which trims the film by nearly ten minutes, rather than adding stuff. It actually works slightly better this way. The last third, after they found one of the girls, meanders a bit and it's improved by deleting a superfluous sub-plot. Watched it on my projector in Blu-ray and it looked beautiful.

 

[andy2002]

The Children - another underwhelming 15-certificate British 'horror' film.

 

[Orang Utan]

i thought it was pretty good - broke a couple of taboos

Fair enough and I know exactly what you mean regarding taboos. Unfortunately I just found it a bit dull really - especially the kids, none of whom had that spooky, Midwich Cuckoos quality that might have elevated it a bit. It also didn't really help that all the adults in it were irritating, posh twats who deserved to die horribly.

Green Zone

Better than I expected it to be.

I liked it - it's all action, gun play, explosions, chases, spies, betrayal, conspiracies - what more could you ask for ?



well not much sex tbf

 

[The Octagon]

First few episodes of True Blood Season 2 (yes, I'm playing catch-up).

Not hanging about with the various storylines are they? Jason continues to crack me up with his idiocy, Eric finally loses his temper (that scene in the basement was fucking awesome) and Sookie continues to wear very little and generally make the entire world about her regardless )

Bonus points for a rather unusually coy scene between Hoyt and Jessica (who is rapidly making me re-consider my voting on DotCom's redheaded sidekicks thread ).

I guess I was just expecting it to be a bit shit... But yeah, it was quite entertaining.

 

[maya]

Children Of The Stones: 1970s british village controlled by evil cult using standing stones to broadcast signals to space aliens... the horror!

 

[jlasserton]

I watched part of The Proposal last night. It was on HBO so don't judge me for this movie!

 

[Orang Utan]

the boat that rocked - sexist bilge

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Watched The Transporter with Jnr last night - Fights, Car chases, Shu Qi.

Fun trash.

We watched a Film called Times Square the night before and American History X.

 

[andy2002]

Colin - ultra-low-budget British zombie flick most of which is seen from the zombie's POV. There wasn't a lot of plot or structure to it but that only helped if anything - it had this strange, dream-like quality that worked really well. And the soundtrack was suitably unsettling, too.

 

[ilovebush&blair]

I watched Bad Boy Bubby last night, I was really impressed best film I have seen in a long time.

[Part 2]

Rope...which I've not seen for probably 25 years. Brilliant.

Le Couperet..French film about an unemployed fella who finds the perfect job and decides to kill the opposition. Dark but mostly very funny, he's a pretty shit murderer. Ending wasn't so great though.

 

[krtek a houby]

There Will Be Blood - Wow. Reminds me of Citizen Kane, a bit. Great soundtrack, too.

 

[Part 2]

Micmacs...really enjoyed it, very fast moving so I'll probably re-watch as I missed a few bits.

Requiem for a dream with the teen, long time since I've seen it but stands up to repeat viewing and I love the soundtrack.

 

[andy2002]

An eclectic double bill tonight...

Sunshine Cleaning - one of those bittersweet comedy/dramas about life, love and death or something. Pretty good but a bit twee for my tastes. She's a decent actress but it's hard to buy Amy Adams as a struggling single mum with confidence issues.

Return Of The Living Dead - it may not be the greatest zombie film ever made but it's certainly the most fun. "Send more paramedics..."

 

[Orang Utan]

more brains!

 

[Reno]

The Fantastic Mr Fox. After Wes Anderson's last few films I expected to hate this, which is why it took me ages to get round to watching it. Turns out I was wrong, it was really great.

 

[Orang Utan]

i love the movement in that film - the acrobatics just tickles me.
and the fake swearing they do is hilarious.

 

[Orang Utan]

michael gambon is ace as well as boggis

 

[moonsi til]

I watched 'Brazil' on Saturday afternoon for the first time...all seemed to make sense in the end!

 

[jeff_leigh]

When Darkness Falls, The Hunted, Two pretty shite movies

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Get Him To The Greek. Even better than Superbad.

 

[mentalchik]

Legion - laughingly appalling
Shelter - not bad supernatural thriller
