Pieface Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Watched 'Alien' on bluray on the weekend. Just an exceptional film and barring the scene with the death of the Synthetic, where the high def did the makeup no favours, a visual treat. Been a while since I watched the film and I was thinking...where do I know that damn Synthetic from...turns out he's Bilbo Baggins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Alien on original VHS and pull it (and the VHS player) out for a bit of grainy retro goodness every couple of years ^_^ Think I got it from a garage sale for $1 :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betocool Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The Goonies What a cracker of a movie! Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg, plus Sam Gamgee, young Agent K and many others! Enjoyed it last night after about 10 years not seeing it. I couldn't remember that the kids were so annoying last time I saw it! But I quite some good laughs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember the start of the film that well, and it was only recently that I went to watch it again after watching prometheus to see that something looked familiar haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusion Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Watched this on Blu-Ray. The Italian Job (1969 original). The intro is the most stunning ever, scenery, music and that magnificent Lamborghini Miura. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieface Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Watched "Looper" last night. Quirky little sci-fi flick. I thought it was pretty well done if a little predictable in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocool Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's the one with Bruce Willis and what'shisname... Hewitt? With Emily Blunt? Hard to remember which Bruce Willis movie I enjoyed, like really enjoyed last, but 16 Blocks and R.E.D. come to mind. Some of his other efforts I found... not worth the effort.

betocool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Had a go with Avengers: Age of Ultron last night. Lots of action, lots of cool special effects, lots of over the top fighting by our heroes, and the odd twist in the plot that makes us followers of the series want to watch sequels. Definitively not a kids movie I found (not that I'd complain). If you liked the Marvel movies so far, give it a go, good entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mello yello Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 just finished watching this with the world ending this Monday, i thought i would at least get a feel of what we were in for brilliant movie, if you liked the other two 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocool Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 i heard on an AV Fans forum it was universally panned for having crap audio May be... may be not.... I streamed it the other night, and wasn't aware of any bad audio to be honest. Then again, I discern instruments better than chaos/bombs/mayhem. I did understand when they talked though... most of the time. Something about saving the Earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocool Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 just finished watching this with the world ending this Monday, i thought i would at least get a feel of what we were in for brilliant movie, if you liked the other two Love Simon Pegg, absolutely! First watched him with Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz, what a brilliant comedy! Was not so amazed with Shawn of the Dead, but having watched all two before, I couldn't resist The World's End, and it delivered. Check out "Paul", with them both again, although it's a different kind of humor, more American, it's still full of funny references. And if you have time, check out "Spaced", the series where Simon Pegg and Nick Frost among their other collaborators started out. Two series, each episode around 30 mins, well worth a look! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Stephen Colbert Interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson (MUST WATCH!!!) Amazing guy Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks! I have to say I see Colbert in a different light now as he asked some really good questions, not just comedy night time panel ****. Tyson, of course, was brilliant, engaging, charming, quick-witted and insightful. Loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee Emm Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) I took the 11 yo & 8 yo grandsons to see the Maze sequel. How they got it rated only M, I don't know. I woulda thought MA. They loved it. I nearly pooped my pants. Edited September 27, 2015 by Gee Emm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hired goon Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I was watching the X factor. As was I, with my daughter. Some great singers, especially the ladies. Best performance however was from the camera man who always found a way to have the microphone shadow (which was rather phallic in shape) fall right in the middle of Danni's cleavage. They had to be doing that deliberately. --Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
