Thag13 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? ShowTimes Brotherhood. Set in Providence RI, the story is about two irish brothers. One a rising state senator, the other a criminal trying to move up. Both of thier worlds connect at times. Badly. Both brothers are shown as flawed men. Micheal, the gangster brother has moments of chairty and kindness, but they are overshadowed by violent acts of murder and cruelty. Tommy is a decent man, but has to make hard and difficult choises to protect his irish family and people of his district. His wife is cheating on him and has a drug problem. Brotherhood avoids the soap opera aspect and does keep it real The show is violent, gritty and ugly at times. Thats what makes it work Worth watching and putting in your netflix folder.

FenrisUlf Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just watched a DVD of 'The Best of Abbott and Costello' with The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap. Okay film, but definitely a second-rater next to classics like Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narf the Mouse Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently?

Nolgroth Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Started watching Lost on Hulu. So far, I am liking the show a great deal. The one thing that bothers me is the way everybody treats Sawyer. He's not a good man to be sure, but everybody treats him like a kick dog. Wonder when he's going to snap and join the Dark Side for good. Can't say that I will blame him when that time comes around. I'm not usually so forgiving of bad guys, but I think I see the potential for him being a redeemed hero later in the show. Hard to say.

csyphrett Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Watched Push. I liked it, even if it had a mutant hate thing going on. The ending seemed ironic to me, and perfectly fitting. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenrisUlf Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Watched Cannonball Run 2 on the tube last night. Dumb but fun. I'd forgotten just how entertaining Dom DeLuise could be -- and now that I'm older, I was delighted to see who I could recognize in the film (like Jackie Chan). Now that I'm older, I found a new appreciation for the two hot gals constantly swiping fast cars from horny/dumb guys too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmadanNaBriona Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World It was one of my prizes at Can of Whup-Ass at GenCon. That's my favorite Age of Sail film. For my part, went and saw District 9 this weekend and loved it, even if the main character was a total tool. At home I' ve started watching The Colony, which has been interesting, and Defying Gravity, which has been quite cool so far (as long as you block out the techno-babble clothing).

OddHat Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Masked Girl. It's a Kamen Rider parody / tribute, and looks like it was intended as the start of a series. Kamen Rider if he'd been a high school girl on a bicycle. It was cute, and worked well enough if you've watched Kamen Rider recently, but most of the jokes won't work if you're not a Kamen Rider fan, and despite the American marketing there's almost no fan service. Worth a rental if you've watched Kamen Rider in the last six months, otherwise skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Watchmen. I had missed it in theaters, and the roommate had rented it from Redbox.
