What movie did you watch last night? (16 Viewers)

[Ferox13]

Enjoyable enuff prison break film with a decent cast (Brian Cox/Merlin/Liam Cunningham and yer man from Lock Stock). Theres also an appearance from WWE's Seamus. The director is doing the new Planet of the Apes film...

Thinking of watching this tonight or tomorrow:

I like the way they changed the name from the Devil Rides Out to that in the US in case the Americans would think it was a Western.

I didn't realise that was the reason. Its prolly my fave Hammer film ever. The Goat of Mendes scared the shit out of me as a kid:

I just read the book recently - The film is suprisingly faithful, especially considering it was Hammer who did it. Wheatly really was a posh git

Also watched SUPER on the strength od this thread. Good movie - a lot weirder than I expected.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

this was okay. some good set pieces and a few decent laughs. dragged out a bit towards the end. i preferred Super

Limitless.

Might be worth your while checking out Defendor with Woody Harrelson if you haven't seen it already.

Passed the time i guess. i did think it looked good.

 

[Ferox13]

At last - as good as always...I thought Rex was badly cast when I read the book but on rewatching he wasn't so bad...Charles Grey is fucking great casting...I'm gonna read more Wheatley now.

And thanks Cormcolash for that video...the Goat looks grat in in it..I'm working on a podcast called 'Pure Feckin' Evil' and I'll include that song..cheers.

Started of decent with some good scares then swopped directors like a 16 bus changes drivers - the 2nd guy having no idea what went before and ended up in a appalling mess set at the KCR (or Limbo in the case of this movie) plus the baddy looked like he was wearing a bad Darth Maul mask...

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Meh.
It was never going to be great - there is no satisfying way to end a film with this premise.
but fuck it sure could have been better.

The whole men in hats thing, and the Farenheit 459 style police = trying too hard.

Matt Damon - I didn't buy the romance at all at all

That new Pirates of the Caribbean. Was alright. 3D effects were a bit crap.

It's been bugging me as to why this has been bugging me so much.
I think I have it figured.
When you put a science fiction veneer over theses mysterious forces shaping the world the viewer expects a proper explanation, in a way they wouldn't if it was just angels or other such hocus pocus.
so the film tries to have it both ways - the stylised science fiction costumes, the hats and the doors - but also they really don't bother to give any kind of background and just hope the viewer will be satisfied.

Sounds like Battlestar. That did tend to just use 'GOD DID IT' when it couldn't think of an explanation

 

[Scientician 0.8]

I HATE WHEN "SCIENCE FICTION" HAS SHIT LIKE THAT IN IT! PISS THE FUCK OFF!

Not quite.
If you say that the guys in the hats are angels - then the viewer just accept it pretty much - it's a supernatural thing and you just accept it within reason.
But the film to me seems to suggest that they are something else, but never bothers to give the viewer a satisfactory explanation.

They want the trappings of sci-fi but are too lazy to create a complete and consistent world so piggy back on the suspension of disbelief that the supernatural offers.

over the weekend

funny enough. similar style to bad santa but not half as good

brilliant documentary.

not great. julianne moore was overacting and all the weird camera angles and bleached out colours annoyed me. also, it was unintentionally funny in parts, particuarly when mark ruffalo was acting blind and falling over and talking to the wall thinking there was someone in front of him. terribly unerotic sex scene thrown in there for good measure
