What DVD / Video did you watch last night ?

[Reno]

V for Vendetta. Still only rates a 6.5/10; it does a reasonable job of condensing the book's most important scenes into a 2-hour film - and Hugo Weaving's bloody good as V - but Natalie Portman's appalingly miscast (and making Evey ten years older than she was in the book rather undermines the point of the character).

SG

What is it that lifts it 0.5 above 6 ?

 

[Orang Utan]

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 - cack-handed, messy, overlong, incoherant, boring - just utter toilet

 

[passenger]

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 - cack-handed, messy, overlong, incoherant, boring - just utter toilet

[Loki]

I've had that in my media store for months but never bothered to watch it

 

[Cloud]

Gamerz

Dungeons and dragons was ace!

 

[Orang Utan]

I've had that in my media store for months but never bothered to watch it

don't bother with it then! It is truely awful

 

[boohoo]

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 - cack-handed, messy, overlong, incoherant, boring - just utter toilet

Tried to watch that at the weekend - struggle with it....

 

[rollinder]

Monty Python and The Holy Grail

 

[Dubversion]

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 - cack-handed, messy, overlong, incoherant, boring - just utter toilet

absolute toss, isn't it? lost all the things that made the first one good.

we just watched River's Edge.

it hasn't, erm, aged well

 

[Orang Utan]

yes, what a great film to watch on a comedown!

 

[Grandma Death]

Ive started watching the award winning BBC drama Our Friends in The North again. Its been ages since I last saw this show and its still an excellent programme.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Just watched Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman, the 2003 version. Cool, cool, cool. Great dance scene at the end, that can only be described, without any intention of racism or denigration, as Jap/Tap.

I watched Rivers Edge for the first time yesterday. My mate sold it to me by saying "i grew up watching this film over and over". It had a certain charm but, as you say, it hasn't aged too well.

One of the "had to be there at the time" films i would say.

 

[Cloud]

The Hamiltons

Sadistic horrible mindless crap with the kinda twist I could have thought of

 

[DUMBO.66]

pirates of the carrebean 2
the kraken was mint, but i honestly can't remember anything else

 

[foo]

The Ballad of Jack and Rose.

bit uncomfortable in places but boy, Daniel Day Lewis acted his pants off!

 

[DarthSydodyas]

Ghostrider. Whilst it was OK in parts, the overall film was a waste of time. They ought to have released it around halloween, with an 18cert and worked on the love story. The love-story angle trite was unforgivable.

 

[corporate whore]

The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

Loved the slightly grainy look, thought Cillian Murphy was excellent, can see why it got up the noses of some. Good film.

 

[sojourner]

The Navigators

Was good, in a Loachy kinda way - the extra bits were interesting - especially the programme about the writer

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I watched Three Kings last night.

I remeber going to see it when I was 17 with my first proper boyfreind!

It was better than I rememebr, don't think I was overly impressed the first time but that's cos I was young n shit.

 

[rekil]

Ghost World.

Blueshammer rawk.

 

[mhendo]

Borat, which i missed when it was in theatres.

Incredibly funny in places, incredibly hard to watch in others.

That guy has balls of solid steel.

 

[rollinder]

watched the extras of Monty Python & the Holy Grail this morning
the Knights of camalot song is even funnier done in lego
the new sketches were mostly a waste of time
liked the documentary - apart from Castle Arggh all the buildings were filmed at the one castle and the man in the tourist shop lends out coconuts to visitors so they can gallap down the pathway

 

[ramjamclub]

Miami Vice

Miami Vice starring Jamie Foxx Colin Farrell. http://imdb.com/title/tt0430357/
Farrell outstars Foxx.
Better film than i was expecting.
Good storyline and full of action to keep you on the edge of your seat.

 

[Iam]

Underworld Evolution.



Not my choice. What a load of toss. I thought the first couldn't be made poorer, but I was wrong. I'd probably have let Selene bite me all the same, though.

 

[Leica]

This week, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers and Antonioni's The Girlfriends.

 

[Loki]

Casablanca - again. Must be the fourth time now. The chemistry between Bogie and Bergman is incredible.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Battle Heater -

Er? A man buys possesed table heater which starts to eat people. Sub plots include a wife trying to get rid of her husband who she chopped in half and an elderly couple attempting to quitely commit suicide.

OK, but a bit rubbish really. Afternoon trash.

 

[MikeMcc]

28 days later - still blown away by the early scenes of a deserted London.

 

[Badgers]

Watership Down
