What are you watching?

[bad company]

Firefly and dark angel, two series's that should have run longer

[mnwhiterose]

I watched the first 5 episodes of Kings this week on hulu... I kinda liked it.

 

I have been enjoying Kings.  I'm not a religious person, but I have read my share of the Old Testament, and can appreciate the references as well as the setting in a more modern time.  Can't wait to see what happens.

 

I probably should add Dark Angel to my list of now defunct series to watch.  I think my project this summer will be to set up my new TiVo, and to watch Beauty and the Beast.  Loved that show, and I have the entire series.  Just haven't watched it all yet.

The Day The Earth Stood Still:

 

It seems like many of my reviews are the same.  The movie was good, not great, not terrible.  I give it 3 out of 5. 

 

This movie fits my usual mold.  Keanu Reeves was ok with his role... but playing someone with a blank stare is easy for him.

 

The movie kept my interest throughout.

Saw An evening with Kevin Smith yesternight, which was awesome as I've come to expect from the man. Lots of interesting Smith trivia and dick jokes, enough to make me a happy camper. 9/10, I guess?

[SinisterDeath]

Well, I just watched Religulous... It was interesting, but got kinda preachy near the end.

There were actually some interesting people from the various religions that make you think. 'damn, If they were the ones who you grew up with around this stuff...' :P

Then theres all the wacky... I loved the scientology bit. What can I say, its fun making fun of them. ;)

 

I just finished lost, and am workin my way through the Unusuals. I like the show!

[Dunbar]

saw The Great Escape, which was pretty awesome. The theme I've heard everywhere, so it was nice to know where that came from. Acting was good, I liked the characters, the plot, the sometimes dark humor, and pretty much the entire film. I felt it went a little downhill after the actual escape ( I refuse to say spoilers to this due to the title) but it was still a very enjoyable film!

8,5/10!

[mnwhiterose]

Did you see the original or the remake? Saw the original and it was very good.

[Majsju]

Just watched Waltz With Bashir, which was surprisingly good. It did however make me really want to watch Apocalypse Now again, so I have my #1 weekend movie decided.

[Dunbar]

Did you see the original or the remake? Saw the original and it was very good.

 

Original ^^

 

Also, I liked Waltz with Bashir

 

ALSO

 

I saw young frankenstein yesterday, as per the doctor's order, and it was awesome. But that's for another thread.

 

Also. Rewatched Toy Story, which I haven't seen since I was a kid, and I was surprised (somehow) that it was excellent. 9/10!

I watched DeathProof yesterday and it was just as I expected! Which is whats awesome with Tarantinos movies. You know what you're gonna get. Lots of strange people with long monologues, brutalish murders, awesome soundtrack, womens legs in every other shot, and Rose McGowan. Cant get much better than that! It was of course the usual amount of strange, but thats all good imo.

[Dunbar]

Saw Memento again, which is always an awesome experience, and it was nice to see the little things now that I knew how it'd play out. 9/10!  Also, saw Hunger, a very good Irish film about the IRA hunger strike some time ago. Very powerful and unflinching. 9/10!

[SinisterDeath]

Well lets see, I watched

The Spirit.

Not a bad super-hero movie, but it is HIGHLY CORNY AS HELL. Not that its a bad thing. But seeing Samuel L. Fit the spirit with a toilet and nearly falling on his ass laughing at him.. Well that was just hilarious.

 

The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Saw this the other day to.

3/5 like empy gave seems to be just about right.

Its not OMFG awesome, but its not horrible either. Its got some nice special effects, the story isn't bad. It just missed something that would have gave it a 4/5 or a 5/5.

[Dunbar]

Toy Story 2, awesome, lovely animation, good humor and awesome voice-acting

 

Woo!

 

9/10!

I spent the majority of the weekend watching Season 1 of Heroes. It was a lot more fun than a Performance Management paper I had planned to finish!

[mnwhiterose]

Saw Marley and Me last weekend.  Good movie.  But, I cried.  And I don't cry at movies. The boyfriend was crying too.  But, the reason for my crying is because I did recently have to put my beloved Aussie down because he had cancer.

[petels]

Watched Young Frankenstein because I was told to. Funny, nice nods to the story and the original (at least what I think is the original - the one I watched in school). Just more over the top than what I was in the mood for.

 

Then watched Bedtime Stories. Twice, because we started it before nap time, and didn't want to stop it, then the kids wanted to finish it after nap time. Hilarious, cute and a nice, sweet and funny Adam Sandler that I like. Also, I loved Keri Russell. Just because I do.

 

Then watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno (the kids were in bed). Irreverent, dirty, filled with sex, boobs and etc. And hilarious. Will be watching it again, less drunk, looking for things that I can quote at work to be subversive without being dirty and shunned.

[Emperor]

Doomsday - Mix Resident Evil with elements of Braveheart and lots of Mad Max and you have just envisioned this trainwreck of a movie.  However it wasn't as bad as an Ewe Bolle movie so I give it 1.5 stars out of 5.

[mnwhiterose]

Best new TV show this season - Castle.  The writers are just wonderful on this show. 

[bad company]

Just finshed sealab 2021. Very strange

[Corki]

Episode 1 of the second series of Ashes to Ashes. Oh, it's great to see DCI Gene Hunt back on the telly!

[Emperor]

Diary of the Dead

 

Probably the worst of the Romano zombie flicks.  It felt thrown together and flat for some reason.  But there were zombies so... yeah.  I gave it 2 out of 5.

 

Why is it that no one understands anything about zombies when the dead begin to rise again? 

[Cadsuane]

I watched the 6 available episodes of The IT Crowd (Netflix streaming), a Brit comedy about the haphazard IT department at a random company. It's quite funny; the second episode gave me a particularly strong set of giggles and outright laughter. 4/5

[SinisterDeath]

Just watched Changeling.

 

WOW, this is definately a 5/5 or 19/20 movie IMO. The movie was damned good on every level. And Here I thought Angelina Jolie couldn't act. Guess thats what happens when you've been typecast in the past. ;)

[Cadsuane]

Did you watch that because Emp recommended it on Netflix? *g*

[SinisterDeath]

Did you watch that because Emp recommended it on Netflix? *g*

 

Think so, but I just clicked a ton of movies that everyone had on there netflix queues because I was down to 1 movie again. ;)
