Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 7, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Out of interest, do people still buy DVDs and maintain a 'collection' or is it all these streaming gimmicks like KODI now? Do you buy anything and everything or just classics that you already love? For example, I have friends that mainly buy specific things like Foreign Cinema or Old School Kung Fu as that's their main area of interest  I'll buy any decent looking second-hand DVD from the 50p section at Missing Records any day of the week.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Ben Hur: Lads, don’t – under any circumstances – subject yourself to this shite. I wasted 2000 of my Odeon points on this bollocks because my missus has a damp spot for Jack Huston! Well, she doesn’t anymore due to his shit acting and the movies trite and shiteness. It’s really fucking bad...I mean, absolutely septic. I sat there thinking ‘Ah sure, even if it’s a 5th rate Gladiator, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the visuals and my nachos’ but no...it looks like a SyFy movie at points, is a 2/10 at best and that mark is only because of your one Fara from Homeland is in it. The fucking ending didn’t even make any sense and Morgan Freeman looked ridiculous. Even in the 30 second tv spot you get the feeling that Morgan Freeman was phoning it in good & proper. It does seem to be a remake for the sake of a remake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEdge Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I've never been really fussed about most of the Disney movies but the new Jungle Book is really impressive. A shit load of effort was put into it. Baloo makes you chuckle as he's voiced by Bill Murray.  Yeah, I watched this on the plane back from New York a couple of weeks ago. Very enjoyable stuff, and yes, Murray is ace as Baloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 8, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) (*New" Ben Hur) Â I sat through "Alexander" mainly because Vangelis phoned in a musical score. Anybody remember that one from Oliver Stone? Surely it can't be worse than that? Thing must have been 20 hours long. It certainly felt it.

stevieg1980 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I rewatched V/H/S 2 last night. Mostly nothing holds up worth rewatching bar 'Safe Haven' which is just and tense fucked up and balls to the wall as I remembered. Bloody 'Papa' line still made me shiver.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Watched TMNT Out of the Shadows on Tuesday via Kodi. Enjoyed it a lot more than the first film, Sheamus was surprisingly good as Rocksteady, still don't like Megan Fox as April and Stephen Amell is great as Casey, almost Arrowesque at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 8, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 8, 2016 Right, I'm going to watch it, Rids. You're the third person who said it's quite good, because I'm a old fan and haven't enjoyed a Turtles movie since Secret of the Ooze, when I was 11. There's only one Casey Jones though and it's Elias Koteas and his incredible bulge. Seriously, look at it...even just type 'Elias Koteas Bulge' into google. Fair oul upright on the chap. I still love the original Turtles movie though, and this song to go with it: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 It's definitely better then the first but that's not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I watched Turtles last night too and I'd have to agree, it's much better than the first one and got a few chuckles out of me. I liked Be-Bop and Rocksteady, I think Sheamus did a good job. Megan Fox isn't great as April but did an OK job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I rewatched V/H/S 2 last night. Mostly nothing holds up worth rewatching bar 'Safe Haven' which is just and tense fucked up and balls to the wall as I remembered. Bloody 'Papa' line still made me shiver. I watched all three a couple of months ago, and I agree that Safe Haven is the best of all the segments by some way. "Parallel Monsters" from V/H/S 3 is probably the best one after Safe Haven, but that is only really of interest because it is a very strange short (and because I really liked Timecrimes from the same director). Slightly associated to this, does anyone know where I can watch/download the cut segment from V/H/S 3 called "Gorgeous Vortex"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted September 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2016 I went to see Once More with Feeling last night, the documentary about the recording of the new Nick Cave album in the wake of the death of his son. As you might imagine, this is a gruelling watch at times. I've been a big fan of Nick Cave's music for years, but I've never really know a lot about the man himself, partly because I liked that he seemed like a fairly private, enigmatic figure and shining daylight upon that might have ruin it a bit. So watching this film I found to be extremely affecting, because it's clear that he and his family have been utterly devastated by the trauma, and he seemed broken throughout a lot of the film. At times I felt like it was too raw, and by extension, too voyeuristic. With all that said, there are some lovely, funny moments, the relationship between Nick and Warren Ellis is so heartwarming (my favourite bit of the whole film was a moment was when they have a discussion about Nick's hair). The music sounds like what you might a Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album might sound like after going through a tragedy, doom laden and intense. It's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I plan on watching The Shallows tonight, I've heard more good than bad about it. Anyone here seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2016 I enjoyed it and my pots were gone for the most part, so job done. People will say "Plus you have that Blake Lively in a bikini for 90% of it" but there's more meat on Good Friday. Does nothing for me that one. Probably because she'd laugh at my best.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 9, 2016 You're definitely more jealous of her than you are of Ryan Reynolds, aren't you.. That's why you don't like her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 9, 2016 You, Chest, know me far too well. I'm jealous of that one because she gets to cuddle Ryan Reynolds whenever she likes. My missus even said that to me. But she used a crasser term than 'cuddle'. But I would like a cuddle off him.
