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

Let Me In - utterly pointless, but it had to be watched just to sate my curiosity.
Manufactured Landscapes - a documentary about an artist who photographs extraordinary mankind-created environments, such as dumps, ship-breaking yards and dams. the artist claims he isn't trying to make a political/ecological message but he should be ignored as it's difficult to come away from it without thinking about what the fuck humanity is doing to the environment and to itself. great film, though I wish it had been about the landscapes instead of about the artist. It would have been better with no commentary at all.
 
aye, but as i said, i just couldn't resist seeing how they'd do it. it's not a bad film, it's just totally superfluous
 
Since I joined lovefilm.com I have had to buy HDD after HDD, must have nearly 2TB of films that I have "borrowed".
Yep, that's the way to do Lovefim all right. Copy em and send em back the next day. You really get your money's worth that way.

I watched 'Ladies And Gentlemen The Rolling Stones' last night for the umpteenth time. I've only ever had a bad mono copy of it before. Sounds great remastered from the DVD. Exile on Main St / Mick Taylor era. Fucking brilliant film of them, the best there is, I reckon.
 
Battlestar Galactica S2 - The finale.

1 Year Later...

"Judgement Day"
What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened. :eek:

I fucking love this show, so glad I'm watching on DVDs, a half year wait would have killed me :D
 
Soylent Green this afternoon. Hadn't seen it in years. Not bad, however the ending was shite, with the film based on building up to that moment, which is obvious anyway if someone didn't know about it beforehand. Don't know how the human rubbish is dealt with in Make Room! Make Room! Guess the unpleasant live-in prostitute concept of 'furniture' is from the film only.
 
Gainsbourg : A Heroic Life. I enjoyed this- a sort of surreal fairytale take on Serge Gainsbourg's life. The main man had him down to a T. Made me want to start smoking again.

ETA: Just googling the director to see what else he's done and came up with this:

Set in Algeria in the 1920s, a rabbi's cat who learns how to speak after swallowing the family parrot expresses his desire to convert to Judaism.
:D

series was far better than series 1 IMO. I finished series this week and have dived straight in to series 3
 
Just started watching REBUS with John Hannah as alcoholic copper.....Suddenly he appears to change to ken bloody stott. DId John Hannah only do a few or has the bloke got these off just fooked up
 
penultimate episode of this seasons 'sons of anarchy'

It draws ever closer to the moment when jax does what hamlet never could...
 
First ep of Pam Am on iplayer.
A little strange and cheesy for me. But some interesting bits on recruiting hostess as spy by the CIA.
 
Finished The Shield series 4 which was ace. Still plodding through Judge John Deed which is good Sunday watching.

The Boondock Saints 2 which was cheesy but watchable. Then the Chronicles of Riddick which is okay but not my cup of tea.
 
Pitch Black was a near-perfect sci fi B movie. Tight, a cast of stereotypes who lived up to the promise (I liked the whiny englishman with his wine stash and the hoodoo-holy man on his way to new mecca).

Chronicles of Riddick was a bloated god awful mess that offended my brain by pissing away the affection I had for the concept of a universe where a man in a prison planet called slam can get see int the dark eyes by swapping a pack of menthol fags.

Yes to all of that. The first game was surprisingly well done though.
 
Kung Fu Panda 2, fell asleep but ms starfish thought it was quite funny if a bit long.
Monsters, pretty decent film. Loved the aliens.
Let the Right One In, really good, great performances from the young actors.
