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

[pianissimo]

Natural World documentary - Empire of the Desert Ants via iPlayer

I thought it was amazing! Learnt so much that I didn't know about ants, like how they force feed some ant workers to the point their bellies are bloated filled with nectar which serves as food storage.

Source Code - really enjoyed the first 75 minutes but felt it unravelled a bit towards the end.

 

[Ax^]

Silly B-movie on sci-fi

Fx team should be applauded for their efforts, screen writer gets a c-

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Well enjoyed it

 

[Orang Utan]

Grave Of The Fireflies

I don't think I'll ever get over that. I wish someone had warned me.

Grave Of The Fireflies

I don't think I'll ever get over that. I wish someone had warned me.

Yeah that film made me cry at the end. Also you'll never be able to watch again it from the beginning without crying all the way through.

 

[StraightOuttaQ]

This week I've mostly been watching The Planet Of The Apes series. Watched Rise of on tuesday, then the original / beneath / conquest / escape / battle and finally the excreable Tim Burton version last night. and now its "behind the planet of the apes" documentary DVD.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Grave Of The Fireflies

I don't think I'll ever get over that. I wish someone had warned me.

It starts on a major downer and just gets worse and worse. I bought the DVD when I was in Japan with nothing to do. I was thinking 'ah a nice ghibi film, that will be a jolly afternoon'. It ruined my day and I have never been able to ever watch it again.
On release it was a double bill with Totoro. WTF??

I have Barefoot gen on DVD but only managed about 5 minutes, and I know this guy at least survives.

 

[smmudge]

It is a fucking good film though.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Black Death. Christian soldiers meet godless reanimators in Northern England during the 14th century.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I watched Be Kind Rewind.

Far far better on the second watch. Maybe I built it up too much the first time and had incredibly low expectations this time.

 

[magneze]

Just watched Source Code. Good film, even liked the ending. Definitely recommended.

 

[Badgers]

Cutting Edge

[colacubes]

A documentary called The merits of Ferrets on 4od. Well worth a watch - about a group of retired friends who set up a sanctuary for traumatised ferrets.

I just love that Dawson picture.

I have it on DVD and keep thinking I must watch it again, but never in the mood to be more depressed

ARGH! Yet another DVD with unremovable English subtitles! (Wings of Desire)

FWIW the problem is that I either have to turn the volume right up or just not watch. Otherwise, reading one, hearing the other, and understanding both at the same time is too much like hard work.

edited to add: Sorry, I realise that sounds like bragging. It wasn't meant to be, and I can't find another way of explaining why fixed subtitles are a problem.

 

[krtek a houby]

Still Walking - Japanese film about a family coming together to mark the anniversary of the death of a family member. Sad and exquisitely acted.

 

[Belushi]

Just watched Vincere, recent Italian film about Mussolini's (possible) first wife Ida Dalser. Fascinating story but I found the film a bit too melodramatic and incoherent, beautiful cinematography though.

 

[100% masahiko]

Thor - watching a fucking himbo and wondering where is his wingy helmet is. Good simple film.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Pirates of the Caribbean - on stranger tides.

Good stuff

I'll watch that tomorrow, Last night I watched Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End

 

[MBV]

Watched King of the Kong - about an attempt to beat a long standing Donkey Kong world record.

 

[Part 2]

More Deadwood. I'm up to episode 7.
