Popular Post BookMan Posted January 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2013 A new thread for Movies and TV Shows you are currently watching or have just watched. I'll start with two from today. Wreck it Ralph (also in 3D) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1772341/ One for the kids. PG rated. Saw this one with my nephew at the cinema. Had some good laughs in for the kids. Some great animation and would be worth seeing in 3D Les Miserables http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1707386/ I had been looking forward to seeing this one. I have seen previous versions of this story on film and with the star studded cast and being a musical I was keen to see it. I did watch it on the small screen, not at the Cinema, so not sure if that made a difference. Frankly, after 40 minutes I was praying the cast would not be breaking into any more song. God (your choice of flavour) did not answer my prayers and the singing continues onwards for another couple of hours 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Ying FeFe Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wilfred (U.S. version) with Jason Gann & Elijah Wood. HILARIOUS!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703925/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wilfred (U.S. version) with Jason Gann & Elijah Wood. HILARIOUS!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703925/ Ill add that to my download list. I had no idea there was an American series. I watched a few of the Australian series and it had some good laughs. The guy (Jason Gann) who played the dog in the original Australian series is playing the dog in the US series also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblether Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I saw les Mis at the Cinema last night.....it was ropey at parts but in the end I enjoyed it......and now I'm in love Samanatha banks stole the show.

StreetCowboy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I got into Tales of Para Handy on Youtube while helPing the wee lad with his homework - he had to do some geography homework about a river, and I thought comic tales of the impact of alcohol on estuarine navigation would be right on the button. Fortunately he's not so daft, so while I was distracted downloading the next episode, he could get on with his homework... SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Ying FeFe Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 @Bookman, They only aired the US version in the UK. I just bought the box set to laugh all over again but i didn't want to gamble on the Australian version in case it wasn't as good. Jason Gann steals the show. Also, An Idiot Aboad 3: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2150623/ is hilarious.Season 3 is by far the funniest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BookMan Posted January 16, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2013 Another current release: Django Unchained. A Quentin Tarantino movie. I went into this one not knowing what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. Certainly Tarantino fans will love it Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Downton Abbey. My sister brought me the whole boxed set of there series. I cant put it down and am on course to have watched the entire 20 hours over 3 days . An intense injection of English culture, superbly crafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just watched Zero Dark Thirty. Not that good to be honest, just fast forward, watch a couple of explosions and the finale. Also the first episode of Utopia. A very weird (and quite violent) new series from C4. If you watch this after the torture scenes in Zero Dark Thirty you'll wonder what all the fuss was about!

DocN Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Some I recently watched and found good to aaaaaaaaawesome: The Dark Knight rises (gripping end of a saga), Prometheus (probably one of the best SciFi- flics in recent years), Cabin in the woods (a VERY clever and sometimes hillarious horror movie), Sinister (great shocker), Ted (non- PC, silly , funny), ParaNorman (big animation fan...this is the best of last year!) and Life of Pi (a movie, so beautiful, it made me cry!)

Ulysses G. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I just watched Cabin in the Woods and thought that it REALLY SUCKED. It seems to be a love it or hate it movie from the online reviews by regular people. I thought that Argo was really good and Zero Dark Thirty was well done, but not exceptional.

BookMan Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I watched 'Senna' the 2010 documentary last night. Superb stuff! You don't need to like motor racing to find this doco movie enjoyable. For the download, you might need to download the subs separately and add them.

Just watched Zero Dark Thirty last night (to be honest, had never heard of it before) Yes, it is pretty slow in places but I thought it was well portrayed in the hunt for Bin Laden from 2004 onwards. Have to say I enjoyed it even though it is about 2 1/2 hours long! He died in the end anyway.................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just saw "Looper" on DVD! Very interesting! If you are into that kind of stuff, also check out "Source Code" Rian Johnson, the director, released an MP3 with his commentary - not sure if it was on your DVD - but it is pretty cool to listen to and watch the film.. Also, maybe check out "Brick", an earlier collaboration between Johnson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "The Bloom Brothers" was OK. F6 was awesome. Can't wait for F7. On TV, "Longmire" (A & E) just started up season 2. Still waiting for the final eight eps. of Breaking Bad (~ Aug. 11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 There is a new show premiering today on Showtime, "Ray Donovan", starring Liev Schrieber, Jon Voight, Elliot Gould, Steven Bauer. Based on the first episode it looks like it could be fantastic - I loved it. Modern, yet noirish, looks to be based loosely on famous Hollywood fixers like Eddie Mannix, the guy who killed Superman. http://www.sho.com/sho/ray-donovan/home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Just watched Olympus Has Fallen last night. (Whitehouse gets taken over by N. Korean terrorists) Must admit I thought it was OK going on Good, action all the way. If there are any Bruce Willis Die Hard fans out there, this is one for you. Video Graphics are good; would be worth watching on the big screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherOneAmerican Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 'Odd Thomas' is the best movie I have seen this year, very entertaining. 'Under the Dome', a new SF TV series, first episode was very enjoyable. Not much around at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
