Today I are mostly watching....

KTRIC

What movie are you watching this evening and why ??

I just dusted off my movie collection after moving house and found the Saw Uncut boxset. I'm feeling in the christmas mood so I stuck on Saw 2, always gets me feeling festive for some reason.

Finishing off Eagle Eye... probably!

Heading to see Twilight at 10 past 9.

Shacklebolt

Picked up a copy of 'Glengarry Glenn Ross' for 3 euro earlier.

I really wouldn't bother.

I'm watching Old School. I'm a little tipsy and its immensely quotable and watch-while-surfing-able

Some of the scenes verge on being soft core porn. The first time Edward see Bella is straight out of a trashy porno.

X-Calibre

Just watched in Bruges again because the golden globe nominations reminded me of it. Still ridiculously funny!

Basq

I didn't think Eagle Eye was that bad to be honest.. daft and contrived but certainly more enjoyable than most thrillers coming out of Hollywood these days.

Gonna watch Will Smith's 'Seven Pounds' this evening... gawrsh, I do love Oscar season!

Aidric

Watched V for Vendetta for the second time last night on BBC. A very watchable movie if only for Natalie Portman.

RandolphEsq

I feel like watching A Few Dollars More tonight.

The guy

Watched the transporter last night, it was a great action film with the right level of cheese.

Snap, Watched it there last night cause I'm at a loss after finishing Fallout 3.
I love that film but I really don't know why.

DirkVoodoo

Watching Serenity.

Ay Cee

Started watching Into The Wild last night. Great film.

Watched Run Ronnie Run earleir tonight and found it to be a decently entertaing distraction. Not a patch on the Mr Show but there were enough laughs to sustain your attention for 90 minutes.

Just finished watching The Covenant and really liked it. It's flashy, trashy fun which is perfect fodder for watching at 4 in the am. The final fight is great, basically a live action version of Street Fighter 2.

AL][EN

Watched Max Payne last night. Was an avid fan of the games. Disappointed with the movie

Didn't really feel like a game to movie adaptation to be honest. AND there was only one real bullet time sequence in the whole movie! considering its the game that spawned the whole bullet time thing that was disappointing for me.

There were a few things that annoyed me about the movie. But it was ok, watchable but only ok.

dfx-

Just starting to watch The Ghost and the Darkness again. Great great film.

Tusky

Over the last couple of days I have watched Alpha Dog (surprisingly good), The Quiet (not great), The Painted Veil (Really really good, I Naomi Watts) & The Woodsman (Also v.good, Kevin Bacon is a really under rated actor).

About as far from Christmas movies as you can get!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Watched The Lives of Others last night, absolutely superb film.

Now off to watch Dumb and Dumber tonight:D Haven't watched it in years

bnt

I also watched V for Vendetta on BBC, for the first time, the other evening. I thought Stephen Fry's subplot could have been left out to make the film shorter - it didn't tell us anything we didn't know already, about the regime. The ending, however... audacious!

At home today, so I watched Lilo & Stitch, also for the first time, on TV. Most excellent, especially when you find yourself spotting references to Jaws, Godzilla & Baywatch in there. It's also unusual for a Disney film in that it portrays a "broken home", complete with employment problems and social workers.

Tonight, maybe The Family Stone, unless it's too Christmassy, in which case I will read a book.

Diamond Dogs: A cheap and cheerful Dolph Lundgren quickie that entertains for it's duration but is not something which remains in the memory long after.

Started my alternate Christmas viewing with Christmas Evil: A classic 80s horror character study with some nice kills. Definetly one of the few christmas horrors woth revisiting and one which does'nt rely on cheap gore.

Millennium: Midnight of the Century One of my favourite episodes from the strongest season of television ever made.

I have no idea what you are basing this impression on! I thought the relationship scences were played out very well, there was nothing trashy or tacky about them at all.

Got to watch hellboy earlier ,ordered it by recommendations here.
Great movie and super special effects,
Cheers.:)

kerash

Today I watched The Dark Knight dvd and School of Rock on film 4 for about the millionth time because it's Christmas and I can
Yesterday I watched The Chronicles of Narnia on bbc. I didn't think I would, but I enjoyed it. We Have - 'There will be blood' here too, I'll watch that soon.

Nothing trashy you say. The opening of that scene would be right at home in any soft core porno.

Anyways in the past few days I've watched:

The Long Riders: A true western classic which elevates violence to an art form.

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad: Classic from my childhood.The Harryhausen effects are still amazing and Brian Clemens script is top notch.

Tombstone: Featuring one of the finest casts in cinema history. A trueish account of Wyatt Eapr and the events leading up to and following the gunfight at the Ok Corral.

The Professionals: Another western with a great cast. Pure escapist fun which puts a smile on the face of the most po faced of people

Biggles: Absolutly nothing to do with the novels but entertaining in a brain dead manner.

Ba'al The Storm God: Poor effects, mediocre acting and a preposterous story yet it still manages to hold your attention.

Born to Fight: Awesomeness cubed. 90 minutes of nonstop martial arts madness.

Kinetic^

LOTR and the bloody thing ended before it was due to for some reason. :mad::mad:

Ah well, will throw something else on now.

Saw the Miami Vice movie on TV the other night. I'm a Michael Mann fan, for his directing style and his visual sense, but his usual sense of casting seems to have failed him this time. I mean, come on: in the Don Johnson role, you cast Colin Farrell with a mullet?

On a Miami-Dade county cop's salary, he's driving around in a Ferrari F430 Spider, and he and Jamie Foxx have the contacts they need to insert themselves in to the drug running community? Hmmm...:rolleyes:

they were undercover already that's the point

I'm thinking I'll lash on Clerks.
I've never seen it.

Galvasean

I watched family Guy Blue Harvest today when i got home from work. If you like Star Wars and Family Guy it's must. If you don't... avoid I suppose.

Basq

Gonna watch The Curious Case on Benjamin Button this evening methinks.

Well, it's like Tubbs says at one point in the movie:

There is 'undercover', and then there's 'which way is up?'

A couple of days ago I tried watching Mary Poppins, since it's supposed to be a classic to rival My Fair Lady (which I liked), but found every character other than Mary Poppins herself to be extremely annoying. Especially Dick Van Dyke trying to "do Cockney". :cool:

So I went and borrowed a copy of Religulous and watched it this morning. Excellent, but scary, because it's not fiction. Heavily edited, but there's enough straight talk in there, from the interviewees, to give me the willies. :eek:

Zwillinge

I think I'll go with The Van today, ring out the old year with a foul mouthed Roddy Doyle adaption and chips!!

I'm assuming that you're watching it in the comfort of your own home so be warned that most copies of it available are missing scenes and the audio is out of sync for large portions of the film. The new rip online has lesser video quality but is the complete film.

In the last few days I've watched,
Phantoms
Drunken Monkey
Brothers Grimm:
Sleepy Hollow:
Drunken Master:
The Street Fighter:
Muppets From Space:
Mean Machine:
Arahan:
Legion of the Dead:
Lost in Space:
Sky High:

Average-Ro

I gave Son of Rambow a watch there; I was pleasently surprised with it.

MisterAnarchy

Has been an excellent week or so of watching movies,seen some crackers.
7 Pounds,Defiance,Frost Nixon,Gran Torino,Slumdog Millionaire were all excellent.
Body of Lies and Pride and Glory were decent while Revolutionary Road was average.
If only this quality of films was manintained the rest of the year we'd be spoilt for choice.

Pigman II

i'm watching The Thing tonight. It gives me a a special feeling in my underpants.
