Movie Night December 31, 2011

Oops, forgot to put what movies we watched last night, even though not an official movie night, we did watch some things. Oops.

How Not to Live Your Life, Its a Don-derful Life, series ender.
Aw, it's over, but it did such a good job at tying up things, and holy crap at the secret reveal at the end!! ;) I do love David Armand, that much is true.



Attack the Block
Kept meaning to see this. Loved the alien designs even if it didn't quite make sense, i guess that's the Rule of Cool though. Didn't quite care for the ending though, and the main protagonists bugged the hell out of me, maybe i'm just getting old. Get off my lawn!!



Burke and Hare
This was frankly, awesome. I had no clue about this. I had heard the story of the true people, but didn't know they made it into a film, with absolutely everyone from films and British tv that i like. I'm not even kidding here, it was almost every few minutes we were going "hey! it's so and so!!" ;)

Movie Night Dec 10th 2011

Movie Night December 10th 2011, as per the title.

Thor
One of the Avengers lead up movies. In my view, one of the better, not best, but better. My only real complaint is the amount of time the hero is without powers, although with Thor it is needed because that is actually part of his origin. My favorite character is Loki though, just wish they would have kept more of his scenes in it. As usual, stay for the end where there is a tie in to Captain America and the upcoming Avengers movies.



Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
Awesome movie that turns the tables on the "crazy redneck" killer movie. Moments you know are coming, but the actors playing the rednecks really pull it off and make it awesome. The trailer really does give away almost everything though, sadly.



New Girl
Three episodes of the new fox show. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i did, maybe because it was fox and most of their sitcoms are groaners, but i did, laughed a good deal.



Todd and the Book of Pure Evil
The awesome Canadian show that just gets more and more disturbed. ;)

Movie Night November 27, 2011

Wow, been a long time since one!

Usagi Drop Special 1
The sweetest anime ever. Nuff said. ;) Okay, maybe not. The special that was recently released after the end of the season.

Opening:


Preview video:


Noticed too, that there is going to be a live action version...


Captain America
In my opinion, the best super hero movie to date. Just pulled the right notes, and kept the feeling of the comics, with some awesome writing. Hopefully i'll be able to say the same about the Avengers.



Super 8
Better than i expected, a bit too sappy an ending, but what i expect from Spielberg. ;) Also, lens flares, which i expect from Abrams. ;) Don't miss the movie the kids did during the credits, it's awesome.



American Horror Story Pilot
Okay, love this show so far. From the makers of Glee and Nip Tuck, funny and awesome. :)

Movie Night September 3rd 2011

Wow, been a while since an actual movie night. Got to check out Jason's new place, very nice. Along with a cat that didn't bite too. ;) All movies i've seen before, but haven't watched in a while, and lots of conversation.

Identity
   Kind of a thriller, with an odd twist, and a cast i enjoy. Very atmospheric too.



Near Dark
   Forgot how many people from this were in Aliens, and other things. There is a newer cover of this that makes it look like Twilight, it's not quite like that. ;)



Phantasm
   Ah the 70's, this movie still has some quality to it that makes the whole thing feel like a dream gone wrong.
