Last movie watched...

I enjoyed that documentary. I was disappointed that Tom had neither watched Star Trek or had any enthusiasm for dressing as a stormtrooper from Star Wars. Disgraceful!

Having said that I think all the ex Harry Potter actors featured came across really well.

Odds Against Tomorrow Bleak noirish gangster pic from 1959. Lot of violence and racial slurs - and a woman in a bra! Worth seeing.

Highlander 2: The Renegade Version

In 1995, Russell Mulcahy (the bloke who directed the first two) got some money together to get the rights to "Highlander 2", and re-edited it, added a few new scenes and so on. He turned what's one of the worst films ever into something which just sort of sits in the bottom half of all films ever.

I liked that Highlander 2 was so strange and had so many bad choices go into making it - this removes all the alien stuff, but replaces that with "they're all from the distant past", which is even stupider. Still, it's got Michael Ironside as an excellently bonkers villain, so you've still got that to look forward to.

based on the Halo game on one of the cable network channels yesterday.

Halo 4 - Forward Unto Dawn

Yet, I thought it was only a fan-made film when I heard about it's production earlier and does look fan-made. Not that I can put my finger on it, but it doesn't look like it had big budget film. Even though the special effects were good enough to raise it that high and the entire cast seemed to be all under the age of thirty.

I thought the premise was cool with the armoured dude making a appearance towards the ending when the aliens show up and he removes they're fat from the fire.

This might have been straight to You-Tube

I also caught another viewing of the The Wickerman with Nick Cage in it.

Love the part where he decks a woman (Like she deserved it!) and get in almost perfectly orchestrated fight with Leelee Sobieski and they both deserved to be beaten by a man because they were being creepy.
It was only toward the end that I noticed how ridiculously out numbered was before being overpowered put up into the Wickerman.

He didn't even have partner, let alone a squad. I would have brought he Expendables in. That would be a hell of cross over. Yet, I guess the appearance of the situation before it escalated didn't warrant any more attention from the law.

Nick Cage should be Mebd because he has experience.

I'm really looking forward to the cartoon spin-off.

Cheeky sod!

OOh? Iron Man 3 just on Netflix UK, great film.

[Hawkmumbler]

The Devil Rides Out on the Horror Channell last night. Yeah, I have the blu-ray but any excuse eh? It is a classic after all. The tarantula scene still creeps me the fuck out. Also I want to give the channel a viewership so it can keep going, it's already got some cracking stuff i've never seen before lined up (including Death Proof and The. collection tomorrow night).

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah who knew this Horror Channel thing was on Freeview! I shuffle all the channels around whenever I re-progamme our Freeview so the channels we use are grouped together nicely and you don't have to wade through the bunkum to find out what's on - I'm sure this wasn't there when last I did this (when Tiny Pop started). I stumbled across it only this week when looking to see if Film4 plus 1 still existed as I'd missed the beginning of a film I fancied seeing and there it was.

What a boon. I quick reshuffle and its now in the watched channels group - it has classic Who on it and all sorts - looks great...

... err and now will someone get this back on topic please!

[Dandontdare]

Yeah, I wasn't aware of this either - retuned yesterday and enjoyed a couple of classic dr whos.

[M.I.K.]

It's only been on freeview since the 13th, which was a friday.

You do know that you are allowed to watch good films, don't you?

I do, but you don't deserve to know about them.

If it wasn't for the prof, I wouldn't know that not only hadn't I seen iron eagle 3 but there was a fourth film I'd missed.

[Colin Zeal]

Among my friends I've got a reputation for watching lots of films. Certainly a lot more than they do, and this is why I've seen manic cop 2 when they haven't even heard about the first film. Tonight I've watched iron eagle 2 and now I'm on to Punisher War Zone. As much as I love 2000AD the Punisher was the first comic I got into and I'll always have a soft spot for frank Castle but I still don't understand why every film about the Punisher has been shit yet there has still been three of them.

[NapalmKev]

every film about the Punisher has been shit...

Except the Dolph Lundgren version.

They've all been pretty good, I think. The newest one is perhaps the most OTT action movie ever (someone gets decapitated before the opening credits) and the Thomas Jane one was good fun too. I'm bummed neither of them got sequels, to be honest.

Netflix just hit Australia, it's great and its got a free Month trial on the Wii-u but at just A$13 (about 6 quid I fink) a month think this'll be getting a sub.
So far watched Troll Hunter, great movie lots of fun and the Trolls looked pretty damn cool. 

This Girl is Bad Ass, a Thai movie directed by one of their premier female Ass kickers Petchtai Wungkamla, lots of fun, good fights her style is a lot like Jackie Chan in that she uses a lot of props (first fight she smacks out 6 or 7 dudes with a push bike and a later fight she uses a bike inner tube to inflict hurt) also like a lot of Thai movies it also has a sad story and a goofy comedy story and a serious action story happening at once lots of fun this one. 

Life After Porn, a Documentary about life after porn, I watched this for the boobies but it was very good and also made you think (also most of the boobies were big fakies).  Jokes aside a pretty good doco and interesting insight into the porn industry and the damage it can do to the people in the industry.

Knight of Badassdom, Tyrion Lanister and a bunch of other dudes I sort of recognise from other movies go LARPing and one of them accidently summons a Demon, which proceeds to tear hearts out and rip heads off in a nice 80's style I had a good laugh and particularly like the metal musical finale [spoiler]pity Tyrion cops it half way through but he  makes a fiery comeback at the end[/spoiler].

The Natural History of the Chicken, I started to watch this Doco but it sucked and didn't give me any history of the chicken in the first 20 minutes I watched it it was just about crazy chicken people.

Think Netflix is a pretty arsom service and even on Australia's feeble internet bandwidth managed to deliver stable not quite hi-def service, this isn't a paid add just haven't had so much fun watching movies in a long time and glad we finally have access to a decent streaming service.
