What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 6

Aww....lookout - don't give up yet!

Our house is nice & warm, and the theater room gets really hot with all the equipment running!

I hardly ever get to sled - unless I want to drive/ hike up a mountain to hit decent snow. It's not worth it.

I live in rain country, not snow country.

Minority Report

I just bought the first season of Lost since I can't find the first season of Nip Tuck anywhere local.

Trilby · 11-10-2005, 01:26 PM

Sondheims INTO THE WOODS. I'd better freakin' watch it----it's five days overdue at the library and they are SERIOUS about their DVD's.

Kingdom of Heaven (Widescreen, two disc edition)

The movie was very cool ... the sweeping visual spectacle you expect of a Ridley Scott film, with a fairly decent story.

The second disc includes the usual assortment of making of bits, and the long version of the trailer, but, joy of joys (yes, I'm serious), not ONE but TWO documentaries on the Crusades ... History Channel's History vs. Hollywood and A&E's Real Movies.

I dig that shit.

Also, on the movie, you can turn on the "Pilgrim's Notebook" ... a specialty set of subtitles that gives you little bits of history and background as you're watching the movie. Distracting if you haven't seen the movie, but worth watching the film a second time just for the info.

Squishing a bear seems like a bona-fide emergency to me.

SteveDallas · 11-28-2005, 09:46 AM

I took my kids to see it in the theaters, somewhat against my better judgement, and they were both transfixed for the entire movie--which says something about how good it was. (They also liked Corpse Bride so I rented The Nightmare Before Christmas, which I had never seen, but they thought it was a snooze.)

BigV · 11-28-2005, 11:12 AM

Nightmare Before Christmas is hall of fame material in HouseofV. SonofV went trick or treating as Jack Skellington! Haven't seen Corpse Bride yet, waiting for used dvd stage of market pentration.

Sundae · 11-28-2005, 12:15 PM

I loved Nightmare Before Christmas but wasn't 100% sure about Corpse Bride. I can't remember now whether I really liked Nightmare the first time I saw it - I was in a bit of a sticky situation & saw it twice at the cinema with 2 different men, then again on video pretending I'd never seen it before. By that time I was singing along to the songs

Also I walked to the cinema in new boots when I saw Corpse Bride. Takes something away from your viewing pleasure when you have blisters on the soles of your feet.

So I'll give it another try when it comes out on DVD - if I leave it long enough there's bound to be a deal if you buy both together.

Intending to get Descent out this week - its always been out when I've tried before.

I've been watching the special features on Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. It's a fun movie. I was leery of Marvin when I first saw him, but I think he works. I'm still not sure about the whole John Malkovich plot change, though.

wolf · 11-28-2005, 12:56 PM

I love the cameo by the "real" (tv series) Marvin.

warch · 11-28-2005, 01:56 PM

Over thanksgiving we rewatched Babette's Feast and then watched To Be and To Have. Sweet movies.

glatt · 11-28-2005, 02:38 PM

Watched War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise over the weekend. At first, I felt a lot of suspense, but as the movie wore on, it became boring, and I was wondering when it would be over.
