Marek Posted September 2, 2009 I really enjoyed Alfred J. Kwak when I was young. I knew it was in some way more mature than other series and I realized that some things went over my head, and this made it a bit mysterious. I've never re-watched it but now I kinda want to...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 2, 2009 I saw the trailer on TV, thought it looked gash. Then saw the Empire review of 5 stars! Glad someone else agrees, maybe will check it out. Aye, it's much better than it may look (didn't see the trailer myself). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted September 2, 2009 The theatrical trailer makes it look boring and meat-headed, but I'm going to trust the reviews and the pedigree and go see it anyway. EDIT: oh, and trust TP2001 as well, obv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted September 2, 2009 Did you watch the Dutch version with subtitles or a dubbed version?I believe it may have been dubbed into Serbian. I don't really remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thyroid Posted September 4, 2009 It is an excellent film worth seeing. "As opposed to other excellent films." - IGN.com Nah, I'm trippin'. It IS apparently a good film, and ya missin' out if you don' check it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrobbs Posted September 4, 2009 Finally got round to watching Dead Set. A friend had edited it together into a feature, stuck a menu on the front. Pretty good really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SignorSuperdouche Posted September 4, 2009 Finally got round to watching Dead Set. A friend had edited it together into a feature, stuck a menu on the front. Pretty good really. Allegedly the Director's Cut is coming out next month. I haven't seen it since it was on the telly so I'm quite looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garple Posted September 5, 2009 Just borrowed The Punisher: Warzone Blu Ray from a friend. It's a fun B-movie and the only comic book adaptation I've seen that really felt like a comic book (i.e. pulpy, disposable entertainment...brazenly stupid, and small enough to feel almost intimate, like it could have been your childhood imagining instead a 100 million dollar freakshow). Most comic book movies feel like they're trying to be THE EVENT OF THE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one just feels like it's trying to be a comic book on screen. I would not have hoped for any more or less. Also, if you like bad accent work, this one's for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrobbs Posted September 7, 2009 Saw Push the other night. Enjoyed the story, and Dakota Fanning was excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted September 7, 2009 Is she hot yet? You should see Push. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted September 7, 2009 I'll take that as a 'yes', and pre-emptively say "I'd push her." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted September 7, 2009 Allegedly the Director's Cut is coming out next month. I haven't seen it since it was on the telly so I'm quite looking forward to it. Sounds promising. I watched the TV episodes back-to-back and really enjoyed it; great modern zombie flick and definitely something I'd recommend if you like horror or British cinema.

Thyroid Posted September 10, 2009 Someone linked to some BBC documentary on noir a while back, but I can't find it. Could you tell me what it was called? I'd love to see it, but can't access BBC Videos outside of the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted September 10, 2009 I actually just saw the Hurt Locker on Tuesday as well. I honestly think it's one of the best action movies I've ever watched. The sound design was really fantastic - the usage of silence, subtle violin family tracks, and in-environment boomboxes and whatnot are all extremely effective and lend a ton of tension to the film. Not only that, but I think it takes a really honest perspective on the war and tries not to take sides. It avoids being political by focusing very closely on these soldiers and it doesn't feel at all contrived. Watch this movie. Certainly one of the best movies of the year so far, and maybe one of the best ones I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted September 10, 2009 Someone linked to some BBC documentary on noir a while back, but I can't find it. Could you tell me what it was called? I'd love to see it, but can't access BBC Videos outside of the UK. It was called The Rules of Film Noir, and was written and presented by a guy named Matthew Sweet.

brkl Posted September 10, 2009 District 9 was pretty damn great. Better than I expected actually, since my original very high expectations had been lowered a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayel Posted September 11, 2009 District 9 was pretty damn good, but I didn't like how the aliens were portrayed as disruption to society. Felt like they were trying to justify why they were being discriminated against. As if we humans need more reasons than looking different. Speaking of movies with number 9 in their title, I recommend 9 by Shane Acker. I worked on that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
