The Rocky Horror Picture Show. For the first time. Because of the Glee Episode. It was as weird as I thought it would be... but damn those songs are catchy.

When you click on watch now, the LOVEFiLM content delivery network sends a few seconds worth of the streaming content to the Flash player ahead of playing.
If you pause the player, then streaming to the player will stop. The content delivery network does not continue to 'download' when pause has been selected. What the hell kind of crap is this?! |

Their terrible range of poor picture quality movies doesn't help either.

Seriously, I'm trying to watch Django and it's buffering every three lines of dialogue. Meanwhile it's on YouTube and plays seamlessly. And they wonder why people pirate...

It'll get better over the coming months/years, it has to start somewhere. Give me a nudge in six months.

I Love You Phillip Morris - What an unexpectedly great movie. Jim Carrey and Ewan MacGregor have never been better. One of the best screenplays of last year.
And if anyone's asking, no I'm not.

Knocked Up - Great. Still feel like his life was ruined at the end. She didn't love him, it wouldn't last.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Also great. Prefer spin-off Get Him To The Greek as it doesn't have to have twenty minutes of bonding/falling in love scenes.
Up - So let me get this straight, he kills his childhood hero and steals his airship? I haven't felt so uncomfortable with a lead character's actions since Kirk stole the captaincy from Spock in the Star Trek reboot.

You leave UP alone!
The King's Speech; or, British Oscar Bait: Montage Edition was enjoyable. No Social Network, but enjoyable.

TOTALLY agree with Knocked Up.
UP rocks, the bad guy had his chance to make good and didn't, hero was right on.
In other new:
Robocop - brilliant, ridiculously entertaining film. LOVE it. Have a wonderful daydream of rebooting this in Detroit. With all the issues doing on there now (they are talking about using Eminent Domain (compulsory purchase in UK?) to move people inwards, shrink the city limits, and demolish the outskirts to make way for farm land). PERFECT opportunity for some awesome film explosions!
The American - doesn't deserve the bad wrap it's getting but still not a great movie. Moments of brilliance. Moments of WTF.
Dogtooth - Meh.

Robocop is the best Judge Dredd movie ever made.
That's a compliment.

Jackass 3 - Wish I'd seen it in 3D. Brilliant, probably their best movie, by a little bit. First time I've ever gagged while watching a movie, in my life. It was during the scene where the overweight one, Preston Lacy, is made to workout and they collect his sweat in a cup, then Steve-O drinks it.

Shaun Of The Dead (AMAZING EVERY TIME), Paul (liked it don't understand all the bad reviews!), I Love You, Man (Probably my favorite movie of all time I watch it like 5 times a week, and never stop laughing), Devil (Killer elevator? NO it was pretty good), Jackass 3 (Hilarious), Resident Evil (1 it has been awhile thought I would check it out again and its still the best one they made)

Watched Shaun Of The Dead again a couple of weeks back, love it. The ending gets a little bit too depressing for a comedy (having to kill his mother etc), but the first hour is pure magic. Liked the first Resident Evil movie. I would have also liked to have seen one that followed the plot of the very first game. Returning to UP for a second, just noticed where they got the idea of the talking dogs from - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOrpF6vf8jY&feature=related |

Shaun of the Dead has a pretty bold ending for a comedy but it's driven by the subject matter. Traditionally, zombie movies have bleak endings, a result of the profane subject matter. Do give it a standard happy ending would be to deny the power of the genre, but that said, while I love its brilliance, the ending of playing video games with his dead friend always leaves me feeling a bit dead inside.
Just watched 13 Going on 30 with the wife. Was it lame? Yes. Did it know it was lame and have a TON of fun anyway? Yes. And Jennifer Garner has awesome comedic timing. Despite the painfully obvious screenplay, the character chemistry and charm really made it quite enjoyable, I was shocked I liked it.

The Crazies - Good, but slightly over-rated by critics. Wished there was a more craziness - that the infected had been wilder, most of them just snarled and pointed a gun, or acted like running zombies. Worth a watch though.

To comment on what's gone on up thread - Jennifer Garner is awesome, and does everyone remember that episode of the Simpsons with the dog/baby translator? I know I didn't dream it up.
Watched:
Pulp Fiction
I really don't know what to make of it, the dialogue was entertaining, the structure was great, but there didn't seem to be a point to anything at all. I'm stunned it's considered to be a touchstone of modern cinema.
Mystery Team
Wasn't as funny as it could have been, but the premise is genius.
in the Mood for Love
Fantastic. Seriously, really damn good.
Winter's Bone
Another film that surprises me by the level of recognition it received. A good watch, quite intense at times. Not necessarily something I'd revisit.
