OddHat Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I'm not sure she's been given enough of a chance. She was in a couple of the Bourne movies, but that's the only thing I've seen her in, stateside. By the way, I do NOT recommend The Princess and the Warrior, another film she's in. It's just plain bizarre, depressing and somewhat disgusting, in places. Haven't seen it, but so far it sounds typically German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the same guy who played the Silver Surfer in FF2? Or am I getting people mixed up? Anyways, he/they are truly fantastic actors.

OddHat Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Re watched a restored edition of Royal Warriors, staring Michell Yeoh. Today, at 46, Michelle is a very attractive woman. In 1986, when she made In the Line of Duty / Royal Warriors, she lacked some of the charisma she now has (and she wasn't much of an actress), but she was heartbreakingly beautiful. Good action and a fair story line for the period, as well as an interesting look at HK in the 1980s. Worth a rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't seen that trailer. Hope I can see it on the big screen. Not sure I'm happy with the American sidekick, but there's always a nit to pick.

FenrisUlf Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? A "friend" of mine insisted I sit down and watch a film titled Blood Feast. When I hesitated, he told me it was 'more of a comedy than anything'. All I can say is... :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Saw "Jumper" last night. Quite enjoyable. Of course it is twelve or more tears since I read the book so I can't recall just how acurate the film may be but, judged as an adventure movie, I thought that it was pretty good !

csyphrett Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Teen Titans season four. I enjoyed the non raven stories better than the season arc. Billy Numerous and Control Freak were in high gear. Shoot em up. I could have done without some of the more grosser things done, but at least it had something of a plot behind all the violence.

Clonus Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Contract Lover: A Chinese movie that is the closest I've seen in a foreign film to an exact duplicate of an American-style romantic comedy. A man hires the heroine to be his obnoxious supposed girlfriend so that her misbehaviour will make them welcome his real girlfriend, but finds his supposedly traditionalist family to be weirdly open and forgiving. Her best friend a westerner who plays his part blatantly gay has the best scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolgroth Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The first season of Dexter. Now that is a fun, if highly creepy show. The over-arching plot of season one was incredibly well done. There were some parts that I really didn't want to watch, but I was thankful in how well those parts highlighted my favorite character. If you are into quirky comedy-drama hybrids with a little bit of police investigation bits, this is a must see series. Can't wait for Season Two. I'm not what you would call a feminist, but I think the progression of Rita's character from broken to this bastion of strength was awesome. We're supposed to like Dexter, but I don't. He is evil. He may be directed and constrained, but there is no doubt that he is evil. I liked Angel Batista. Funny, smart and and very convincing. The rest of the cops (including Debra*) I could give or take. *The actress who played Debra did an outstanding job, especially the transition from a wannabe detective to an actual one. I just didn't like the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copeab Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill A fairly so-so zombie movie (ie, below average horror film). However, the plot is very gameable (I plan to use it for a Deadlands campaign).

AliceTheOwl Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Josh and I watched Lucky Number Slevin last night. Interesting. We saw Music and Lyrics on Friday, and were surprised by how much we liked it. We'd expected formula romantic comedy (which, yeah, there was a bunch of formula stuff), and got a movie that made us both actually laugh and smile a lot. On Thursday, we went to see Spiderwick with my parents. I wouldn't expect it to be appropriate for little kids; it was kind of scary.

death tribble Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The last 9 episodes of the Sopranos. I was surprised by the way Christopher died. And the number of loose ends at the end of the show. Otherwise it was alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
