One Feisty Old Lady Did I mention the sheep? A really funny (and violent) film. Rent it, or go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwdemon Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Top Gear (BBC): one of the most entertaining shows on television, great for car fans and non-fans alike. Lie to Me (FOX): good fun show with lots of lying people getting what's coming to them! Smallville (CW & DVD): I didn't start watching until late in the 5th season, but I'm hooked now. I watch the current episodes and I'm catching up with the DVDs. Heroes (NBC): It's getting "meh", but I'm committed to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Kung Fu Dunk -- It looks like a Malaysian take-off on Shaolin Soccer. However, the lack of Stephen Chow is telling and it doesn't present anything that Shaolin Soccer didn't do first (and better). Still, not a bad movie, just no where near as good as the original.

Nolgroth Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just saw the "Burn Notice" season ending with another Watchmen trailerI was somewhat disappointed in the season finale. It was fun and all, but it just didn't leave me wanting more. It was almost a closing punctuation mark on the series. Let's hope that all the ominous foreboding makes for an interesting story next season.

One of the problems with HK films, even more so than Hollywood (which is also guilty), is the need to copy anything successful several dozen times. It's even worse when they copy something with genuine heart like Shaolin Soccer. Almost always, the copy follows the surface story and misses everything that made the original good. Cue Mark Millar's entire life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Don't think I've heard of that one. I'll have to look into it. Lonewalker 'Allo 'Allo was one of those series that was hysterically funny at first, but for me at least, lost funniness pretty rapidly because it's basically a one-joke series. They got some pretty amazing mileage out of that one joke, but still... cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddHat Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Saw Watchmen last night. My expectations were pretty low, and I was pleasantly surprised. No single moment made me say "wow", but there were some solid performances, the set design and cinematography were good, and the changed ending didn't much bother me. The dialog additions here and there were weak, and Moore's own dialog doesn't work as well when spoken, but still, the movie worked pretty well for me. I'll probably rent or buy the DVD extended version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
