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

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Over the hedge.
All star cast
Shit CGI
Shit story
Unrealistic (even for talking animals)
Shit jokes.

Verdict. . .

Shit.

 

[May Kasahara]

Nightcrawler.

 

[not-bono-ever]

just caught Bohemian raphsody. its better than I thought it would be

 

[krtek a houby]

Finished season 2 of Veep and season 3 of The Expanse. Well satisfied.

 

[rubbershoes]

Nightcrawler.

What a great film. Riz mixing it with the A list

 

[Rivendelboy]

Orphan Black is fantastic. Enjoying a late night viewing of one episode a day.

 

[cybershot]

A few over the weekend between food festivals and nursing the cat!

High Life - R Pats and his daughter trying to survive in space alone. Wouldn't go out of your way to watch unless this sounds like something you may enjoy.
Hotel Mumbai - Based on the true story of the terrorist attacks on the Taj Hotel. OK if you're into this sort of thing.
I Am Mother - Robot trying to bring back the human race with embryos. Caring for one sole female to start with. Bit naff.
Hellboy (2019) - Mess of a film, avoid.

Who isn't into films based on the true story of the terrorist attacks on the Taj Hotel? Best genre.

I'm massively into true story based stuff, especially politics/war/terrorist based things, but appreciate not everyone is into guns and violence, even more so when it's 'real' per se.

continuing my rampage:

haven't returned to Lost Boundaries yet, but i will.
The Battle Of Algiers perhaps smilies aren't the right scale to use for such as this. i'll watch it again, but first impression is that it gets every angle just right.
Crime Wave los angeles + sterling hayden = you can't go wrong.
Stray Dog better this time than ever before. ordered the DVD as a result, so many scenes need re-watching. takashi shimura is the greatest.
F for Fake to watch, as a movie, it's fascinating. i hesitate to grade it as i'm repelled by the boozhwah milieu in which it takes place.
Good Morning only my second Ozu. i saw Tokyo Story in the 80s, not long after it arrived in the states, and the story was so painful that i haven't watched it since. this is an easier introduction to his style. impeccable acting.

to clean the palate:
The Italian Job a dud.

back to regular programming:
Record of a Tenement Gentleman Ozu hitting his theme of generations and loss. very interesting documentary bits.
Woman of Tokyo Ozu exposing deformed gender expectations. the end is unconvincing.
I Was Born, But ... comparisons with Good Morning are overdrawn. on first watching this has the better story.
Drunken Angel kurosawa blasts organized crime, which is refreshing since here in the states it's often romanticized. again, shimura is the greatest.
Yojimbo probably a 3-smiley on the merits, but the music puts it over the top.

 

[petee]

i see that Machiko Kyō, who played The Woman in Rashomon, and was in lots of other top films, passed about 2 months ago, at 95.

Machiko Kyo, Star of ‘Rashomon’ and Other Films, Dies at 95

Decide to watch the Souvenir last night The Souvenir - Wikipedia

Had a to have a break after an hour and watched The Gift instead.

Finished off the Souvenir this morning. I don't know if I'm not intellectual enough for it but I think I have to agree with the swathes of user reviews that essentially say it's crap.

Has anyone here watched it?

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm working my way through Rutger
Hauer films as he died the other day so last night was 'Blind Fury'. I can see why its loved as a 'bad-good' film because its rubbish but has a certain charm anyway.

 

[krtek a houby]

The Boys - superheroes being not so super. In fact, being downright bastards. Karl Urban and co. out to teach them a lesson. 2 eps in and everything you'd expect from Garth Ennis.

 

[Chz]

The Secret In Their Eyes. Argentinian flick, difficult to say much about without ruining the way it unfolds. Highly recommended, though.

[farmerbarleymow]

Rita, Sue and Bob Too.

Belter of a film

Though my missus insists it must be mocked for having the "Lover running down the train platform as train departs" trope.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Big Foot starring Sam Elliot.

I really enjoyed it. It's not as mad as the title suggests.

 

[cybershot]

The curse of la llorona. Pretty decent horror flick.

 

[belboid]

Edge of the World.

Yet again. We went to Foula (where it was filmed) the other day - quite a weird experience in itself - and me dad had never seen it, so it made sense to watch it again. Still bloody marvellous.

 

[Indeliblelink]

The Small World of Sammy Lee (1963)
A strip club compère has to run around Soho to hustle £300 in 5 hours to pay the gambling debt he owes before the heavies are sent to beat him up. Good gritty Brit drama, starring Anthony Newley, with some nice footage of 60s London.

 

[Rivendelboy]

I watched Legion (the tv show about a schizophrenic mutant).

It's confusing.

Perhaps too much for me to enjoy.

It's one of the best things ever imo.

Mad as a bag of mad things.

 

[Rivendelboy]

I got to episode 6 and I really hated that episode.
The rest of it was ok, but the whole asylum thing is lost on me. It seems an easy vehicle to choose for general weirdness.
Maybe it just went above my head.

Was going to say been watching this. About to watch episode 7. We like it.

Brother`s nest on sky cinema a very good film indeed 10/10 for me

Trying to figure it out is a mistake. Best just watching it.

It's absolute candy.

I thought that but episode 6 was just awful.

I will come back to it, seems a bit silly to forego the last two eps.

But the fat bloke with the shitty make up who looks like mental mr creosote? That's not candy. Is he meant to look that bad?

Plus Rachel Keller is a hottie (yes, I went there)

It's only the first season, story hasn't even started.
