House of Usher

Probably Dangerous Liaisons.
STRIKE !!!

Lincoln. Who'd have thought that two and a half hours of bearded middle aged men sitting around in smoky rooms talking could be so riveting?  And how come, even knowing the outcome of the vote, I was still on the edge of my seat as it was being counted? Incredible film making, that's how.
And Tommy Lee Jones gets the best line: [spoiler]"It opens."[/spoiler]

Red Dawn 1984 for some strange reason? :|

The Day - kind of false advertising because it's actually about two days and one night in the lives of a disparate band of post-apocalyptic survivors including Iceman or possibly his brother, one of the annoying Hobbits, and this other bunch of nobodies.  Because it is the post apocalypse, everyone is very sad and they could do with fighting some giant ants or mutant bears or something, but the budget doesn't stretch to that and instead we get some people in a house getting ready to fend off a cannibal gang.  Some decent story beats even if the pacing seems a bit off and some of the character turns come out of nowhere, but for a no-budget PA film it's pretty good.  And not a zombie in sight - that's always a plus point for apocalypse films these days.

'Nout wrong with that. Better than the shitty remake thats for sure.

The Raid (2011). I enjoyed it, and it was fuck-all like Dredd (2012).

Watched the first and last in the Matrix trilogy. Excellent films. I never rewatch the second one, as it's fucking pretentious and boring.

Because of the second one, I have never watched the third.

Yeah, massive waste of time. I got Reloaded DVD for Christmas back in the day. I just skipped to the big silly car chase, once. That was about the only thing I enjoyed about it. I only watched the third turd when it came on TV one Sunday.
You may quote me on that.

Finished reading my prog and felt a strange desire to watch BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, MY FAVOURITE LAUNDERETTE and CARRAVAGIO.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

SuperSurfer

The Hurt Locker which was on the box on Saturday. I have it on DVD but never got round to watching it.

Brilliant.

Your not missing owt. Awful film(s).

The Doctor Alt 8

Last movie I watched was Iron Fist ... some daft Kung Fu movie staring Lucy Liu Some American WWF wrestler and Russell Crowe with this ridiculos knief. Not to be taken seriously but I thought it was good fun.

The Tall Man - pretty neat thriller about missing children in a US smalltown crippled by This Economy.  There's a bit where the film basically breaks or doesn't - your call - but it's better come at cold, as one of the best bits for me was seeing the "36 hours earlier" flashback thing - that has been done to absolute fucking death in every bastard fucking thing fucking ever it fucking feels like to me - be subverted like you would have expected someone to do by now already considering it's a narrative device that happens in pretty much every single tv show currently being made and I fucking hate the fucking shit out of it, but The Tall Man uses it in a playful manner.
Was a bit worried by the opening salvo of a still birth that it'd just be a typical gore-rape-shock-porn fest, but Tall man is actually not that at all, and well worth a watch.
