Latest/recent DVD movies watched?

"W" - 2+ hours of my life I will never get back.

Frost vs. Nixon - Really liked it. I thought Frank Langella played the part of Nixon perfectly.

 

Armageddon -- Always been a fan of this movie.

 

Pulled out two classic Judy Holliday dvds last night, Born Yesterday and Sold Gold Cadillac. Tonight it's The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.

 

Red

The one about the old guy and his dog which some teenage boys kill. Not too shabby. The story is a bit predictible but a decent film nevertheless.

 

I was helping my elderly neighbor operate her DVD player. She'd forgotten how to change to the video input......she just got Born Yesterday and something else on DVD.....anyway, I get to borrow Born Yesterday which I've never seen and another elder film. I saw a few minutes that wet my appetite.

 

Watched the Criterion Vampyr tonight. Odd movie but wonderful cinematography

 

Dazed and Confused -- Amazing like always!

 

Beyond Suspicion...we enjoyed this!
I'm amazed how much better this DVD looks as compared to many of the recent DVDs out there!...seems like they are dumbing down the quality of DVD for Blu-ray...

 

The sad thing is that these crappy looking recent DVDs are mostly the ones they're using for in store ''side by side'' comparison, at least the ones i've seen.

 

Watched "Blood Simple" for the first time. Mad respect for the Coen brothers first film.

 

I got out my Donnie Brasco BD because I was in a gangsta' mood. Great film, I needed a dose of Depp....

 

Oooooh I haven't seen that since it originally came out. I think I'll go add it to my Netflix queue, thanks Rachael Bee.

 

Love that movie

It only has one flaw IMO, why does the lead kid touch his nose so much?

 

Yea, that part gets to me ever since I first noticed it. Mitch Kramer with Samantha outside the billiards, I tried counting how many times he touches his face/head in just that one scene, and I lost count. But it still doesn't take away from the greatness!

That's one of those movies you see or hear something different each time.

 

Deathproof.
I am glad I didn't buy this.
Sad to think this is from the same people that gave us Planet Terror.

 

I've seen bits and pieces of Papillon over the years, but just got around to watching it all the way through last night. Even at 2 1/2 hours I had no problem sitting through all of it. McQueen was in pretty good acting form, which wasn't exactly his strong suit IMO. I had to replay the upside-down slo-mo camera scene a few times because it kind of came out of nowhere (Papillon's hallucination) and looked really good visually. When the camera stops on the two dead prisoners and Papillon slowly says, "Yooooouuurrrr Deeeeaaaaad," I have to admit I got a little spooked.

 

Watched ''Babel'' last night, great movie, but please no more masturbation scenes. i almost stopped watching.

 

the incubus- 1981, john cassavetes
angel of death- 2009, zoe bell
the manipulator aka bj lang presents- 1971, mickey rooney

 

watched The Great Escape over the weekend, had not seen it for couple of years great movie.

 

Watched the 1920 Der Golem last night. Odd in that there was no audio track at all. Weird to watch something completely silent.

 

I watched in on HD Net Movies last year. It was intresting but I wouldn't want to sit through it again....anytime soon, if ever...?

 

DVD - The Monster Legacy Collections - Frankenstein (1931) Bride Of Frankenstein (1935) Son Of Frankenstein (1939)

 

I saw that once with Gary Lucas providing a live soundtrack.
