Last movie watched...

[klute]

I am number 4.

I quite enjoyed it though ive never read the book which i guess is better than the film??? and the ending seemed to leave it open for a sequel. is this just based on 1 books and does it tie everything up?

Watched Liar Liar for the first time in years. It had me laughing out loud at some of the absurdities Jim Carrey spewed out. Many of which I'm sure we've all wanted to say at some point.

Cat O' Nine Tails from that ever so classic director Dario Argento. Damn this movie is fine.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Captain America. Loved the aesthetics with all the retro-futurism and all the chunky buttons and dials everywhere

[Professor Bear]

Sink The Bismarck!  I normally don't approve of all this touchy-feely stuff up in my war snuff porn but here it feeds into the Stiff Upper Lip atmosphere.  The bit with the Cap's son being lost at sea is a bit contrived but all told a decent WW2 boat flick.

Zombie Diaries 2- Because it was 95p on watch On Demand and the DVD shelf was too far away from my glass of red.

For a low budget film it was nicely done. The opening setup and link-in to the movie almost had me giving up in the first 5 mins however, and some of the 'hand held' camera sequences didn't work as well as others, ( Blair Witch has a lot to answer for-and does any recorded playback video really have a flashing REC button on display in a higher resolution than the footage its recorded ?)
Effects were minimal but nice, I'd like to have seen more 'dirt' on the zombies clothes as without the weathering it was quite clear most of them were probably just locals and mates of the film crew who turned up for the day to be extras ;-)
There was one scene which some people might find uncomfortable viewing as entertainment but the main cast were actually very good, especially considering the constraints of the synopsis.
Good viewing as a benchmark to see what can be done on a budget, tightly directed and well done.
Will def try to see part 1 because of it.7/10

I also caught 90% of THE ROCKETEER, a massively enjoyable film from start to finish, hugely underrated and some of the nicest period production design work to this day.
I'm pretty sure Timothy Dalton's home is largely decorated using the same tiles as used in Deckard's apartment in BladeRunner, and the rocket pack effects are awesome, mainly thanks to Joe Johnston I expect (Id like to see how they shot some of the airplane flying sequences too). 9/10

I saw about 20 minutes of Batman And Robin last night withthe old man.

Oh dear.

I've never seen it before, and all I coudl think was 'Oh man... oh man... this is bad. Really bad.'

And yet... still oddly watchable, in a 'can't look away' fashion.

I concur! One of the best comicbook movies out there. Could be wrong, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, the interior shots are filmed in the same house in LA built by Frank Lloyd Wright. It shows up in more than a few movies.

The People under the Stairs was on the other night on Syfy so I watched part of it. I only watched the start as something else cropped up which took me away from the telly for a while, but I've seen it 2-3 times before. It's a very enjoyable film.

watch Severance on BBC3, it okay horror with twist of slasher.

No it's not it's fuckin' shit with Danny Dyer in it - The Blues Brothers is on ITV4, watch that instead - just at the Bob's country Bunker bit right now - looking forward to 'Shi-it'.

[Goaty]

Well I like Blue Brothers, but did studio with it while ago, so nice to be chill out tonight with fun horror film! lol I know it with annoyed Danny Dickhead Dyer, but it good fun.

[JamesC]

What's wrong with Danny Dyer? I think he's quite funny - and he doesn't take himself too seriously.

[Tiplodocus]

And his early scenes in Severance are quite good if I recall. (When he's [spoiler]drunk/"e"d of his tits).[/spoiler]

He's fine if you like mockney twats.

North Sea Hijack, a late-70s British action movie starring Roger Moore trying to play against type but failing because he is Roger Moore and even having a cat named after Enoch Powell is endearing.  The slow pace of action movies made before the 1980s is always a problem for me, but I like Moore on film despite/because of his range as an actor and here he pretty much holds this together, with Anthony Perkins over the place as a terrorist mastermind and some aimless crew-mutiny shananigans padding things out a bit too much.  If you don't get on well with Moore, I imagine it would be a hard watch, though.

The Emissary, the pilot episode for Deep Space Nine which I am watching having come by a season 1 dvd set and my God, but this was a lot more appalling as a show than I remember, especially The Passenger, in which Alex Siddig (Dr Bashir) is the best bad actor in all creation.  Some episodes are fascinatingly terrible (Move Along Home, Storyteller, If Wishes Were Horses, Dramatis Personae), but there's no denying the promise of the opener, which plops the oh-so-perfect Federation slap bang in the middle of Eastern Europe while the Soviet Union is going tits-up and yet makes the show more than just about the UN-in-space thanks to some good character work and the McGuffin-ish but eventually interesting wormhole hook.  Despite the dated SFX, space battles, and clumsy exposition and character building (a lot of which - particularly Kira, Rom, Quark and Bashir - becomes redundant or retconned quite early in the series), Sisko's arc as a grieving husband underpins everything as his mourning for his wife is integral to his meeting with the extradimensional Prophets, and while Avery Brooks hasn't quite nailed the character down just yet, his renewed purpose at the end is a believable and admirable turn that makes the show about the hope necessary to rebuild after loss which typified the show at its absolute best in episodes like The Visitor, Duet, and The Quickening.  Pity the episodes that followed directly on from this were so gash.
