What did you watch today?

[Samuel_Scott]

Damages: Season 1 (UK Blu) - Just couldn't get into this one. Don't think I'll bother with season 2.

Also, watched half of Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty which is out on Monday. Review will be up later. Just about to finish watching it.

Secrets of the Castle: The Complete Series (UK DVD) 7/10 - http://dvdcompare.net/review.php?rid=3548

114. Continuum (2013, UK DVD) 6/10
115. Chinese Zodiac (2012, UK DVD) 6/10

When I received Continuum to review this morning, I noticed it wasn't a retail copy so no can do (this is watermarked throughout). Sent the PR woman an e-mail and she said they wouldn't be getting full review discs in. Wanted to see this for a while, so I watched it anyway, and after I watched it I had an e-mail to see a full review copy was in the post.

Chinese Zodiac had some enjoyable action in it, and Jackie Chan has still got the moves. Unfortunately, this was not classic Jackie, though I did enjoy Oliver Platt in this which was a little unexpected tbh.

22. Life of Pi (UK Blu)
I liked the beginning (and the ending), but not convinced by the main part of the movie, when the main character is on the boat with the tiger. Pretty original and quite entertaining though - 7/10.

23. Battlestar Galactica - Razor (French Blu)
Pretty interesting (if you are watching the series) since we get to see what happened to the Pegasus, many things we had heard of without seeing themn. This story is mixed with a main one about human experiments by cylons - 7/10.

24. Battlestar Galactica #2 (French Blu)
Much better than the first series, even if it has still (a few) episodes in which not much happens. All hell break loose, characters evolve, action is spread up throughout different places… I do understand why this is a successful series - 8/10.

Hercules (2014)




Good old big dumb sword'n'sandals cheesefest, it's quite odd since the tone is unequivocally PG-13 but the extended cut adds a fair bit of gore.

25. Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (UK Blu)
Brilliant adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic, with action set up in Germany instead of London. Actors are impressive and several variations (the rats!) unforgettable. Just a classic - 8/10.

26. It Follows (Theater)
French critics were dithyrambic, so I was expecting something tremendous… well rather disappointed overall. Well directed, great music, references to Halloween, Scream... but I found the scenario really light - 7/10.

27. Whiplash (Theater)
Didn't know what to expect, and I must say this was a really good surprise, probably more stressful than "It Follows"! Great actors and incredible editing - 8/10.

28. Mea Culpa (Broadcast)
Efficient thriller/action movie by French director Fred Cavayé - 7/10.

29. La Belle et la Bête (French Blu)
A few good things, but overall I'm far from convinced. Dialogues are really poor, too many of those 3D special effects, I also found the beast emotionless… Some beautiful set designs, and I was also pleased to see André Dussollier and… Eduardo Noriega !? (dubbed for sure...) - 4/10.
