I'm currently watching season 2 of Samurai Jack. I love that show.

Love Story (documentary on the 60s rock group Love from LA)

wolf · 10-17-2008, 01:34 PM

Requiem (German exorcism movie, same case that The Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on)
Wonders are Many (who knew there was an opera about Robert J. Oppenheimer and the Trinity Explosion)
Tried watching Escaflowne, but I couldn't get into it.
Banacek: Season 1

Most recently watched the BBC version of Casanova with Peter O'Toole and David Tennant. This is when he came to Russel T Davies' notice and it's no coincidence he plays the Doctor with the same English accent.

It's well acted and gorgeously costumed and shot, even without the significant plus of having la Tennant in various states of dishabille (and the rest!)

I bought a 2nd hand copy for next to nothing, but I admit the only extra it has is a photo gallery. I recommend anyone to buy it though.

Sex and the City: The Movie--I'm not sure if it was because they were wearing too much makeup, or if they had to stay up 24/7 to finish this film, but the cast members looked really, really grotesque. I don't even want to imagine what they looked like on the big screen.

Iron Man--He was my favorite superhero when I was a kid, and I've been rooting for Robert Downey Jr. to make a big comeback...so I had high expectations. I wasn't disappointed, it was very enjoyable.

Fahrenheit 9/11

Sundae · 10-19-2008, 05:29 PM

The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse.
Not for the first time of course.

Just catching up because I'm seeing Jeremy (co-writer) Friday week.
I'm going to trawl through Funland as well.
Oops, that makes it sound like a chore, but it is something like 10 hours - unusual for a British series. But is is achingly funny and filthy dirty. Not a League project, written by Jeremy and another writer (Simon Ashdown). Like Casanova it was worth the year's licence fee all on its own - the sort of extraordinary work only the BBC seem to comission.

Found a copy of House of 1000 Corpses on eBay for 99p. Had to order it because Flint piqued my interest. I'll let you know when I've watched it.

Oh, so happy! got my new Discovery Channel Sunrise Earth - Sunrises of the Ancient World DVDs today. Machhu Picchu, Skellig Michael, Stonehenge . . . all beautifully photographed against the backdrop of the rising dawn. This is my favorite series of ambient DVDs. I have them all, but I'm really liking this newest one.

Inspector Lynley Mysteries. I am almost done with season 2. 3 & 4 to go. These things are fantastic.

Micheal Palin Pole to Pole. I started watching the series a few months ago and forgot that I never finished it. So I am starting from the middle where I left off. Great series.

Saw Iron Man on Saturday night. It was fun.

Crap.

If the disc hadn't belonged to Netflix I would have snapped it in half.

Twilight Zone: The Movie
Sweeney Todd

(this was the Halloween film festival at work this year, mostly because Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Rocky Horror are still in boxes from the move that I haven't unpacked.)

SteveDallas · 11-03-2008, 08:54 PM

I recently started on House.

(I successfully made my way through Battlestar Galactica, and am waiting on the last few episodes to come back.)
