thecatch Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I watched Centurian the other day. I was entertained.Watched the first 3/4 and thought this movie was really underrated. Then I saw the last 1/4, and realized it had been appropriately rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eephus Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you haven't watched anything from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, you are really missing out on a great filmmaker.DelicatessenAmelieMicmacsA Long Engagement These are all worth at least one viewing.We watched Micmacs last night which was the only one I hadn't seen. Jeunet has a unique visual style and Micmacs didn't disappoint in that regard. But I think his set pieces sometimes tend to get in the way of his storytelling. Micmacs was hampered from the start by a simplistic plot and characters, so it ended up as little more than a visual exercise. It was entertaining in its own over the way but I'd start with any of the other three Jeunet films mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is for more sports to be available through the internet and Roku, ESPN3, etc. Then we can finally just dump outdated cable TV.

Seems like a season or 2 of every series stands out above the rest or there is at least one season not up to par with the rest. Harder for me to keep track of now.

Eephus Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The two OSS-117 spy spoofs are available--Cairo: Nest of Spies (2006) and Lost in Rio (2009). The films are like a French Austin Powers, except the humor is played a lot more deadpan. Jean Dujardin as OSS-117 also has a bit of Inspector Clouseau about him. There's more stupidity and politically incorrectness than bumbling slapstick. Director Michel Hazanavicius nails the look of sixties spy movies. They're worth checking out if you love the Connery Bonds or similar films of the same era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jutz Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hey Is Dee Dee Home - Highly recommended for any RAMONES fan. This is basically an interview with Dee Dee Ramone. They DO NOT really cover much of the Ramones history. The interview mainly focused on Dee Dee's relationship with Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls. He talks about 'coppin dope' constantly. He talks about writing 'chinese rocks' and goes into great detail about what they are, and how they got their name. They show footage of Johnny Thunders playing it with the Heartbreakers. Dee Dee basically lays out the background for all the things happenening to him at that time which led to writing the song. All I can tell you is, listening to a guy whose brain is completely whacked out from doing heroin all his life can be pretty interesting... things you would never expect to hear in normal conversation come up like it is normal for him. There are very random stories (and I hate using the word random, but it fits too well here) mixed in with the main topic that are just crazy.Troy's Story - this is an amazing documentary about Troy Bayless, basically a kid that grew up in the outback of Australia riding dirt bikes all his life. He starts riding sportsbikes at an early age and goes on to become a VERY successful sportbike racer. First, it's a pretty amazing story. Second, Troy is a character quite unique from his peers in the sport. These things combine to make a story I really enjoyed. I would tell more, but would risk spoiling... please go find out for yourself. One note, I have ridden motorcycles over the years. I don't right now, but having ridden will make you appreciate the story more. Also, after seeing this there is no doubt in my mind sportbike racers are athletes... it's pretty amazing what they do from an endurance standpoint, in combinaiton with how they handle their bike. Final note, this is done in a 4 part series (1/2 hour each). It's not one big movie. Final Final note, Ewan McGregor is the narrator.

The chicks on the pool table part would also be cool.Agree about the theme song. Makes me think of the song from Deadwood, and is just as catchy as the True Blood song.Finished season one and dove right into season two. The one complaint/question I have is that if Jax is this badass biker, what is up with the shiny white shoes and T-shirts. Take his coat off and he looks like any preppy guy from the OC. Other than that, this is the best show I have seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear & Loathing Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Martin Scorsese's 2005 documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, is now streaming. Watched this on PBS when it came out and thought it was excellent. Received a Peabody Award in 2006 and a Columbia-duPont Award in 2007. Holds a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
