Yeah so there's a movies thread, which I assume is about what's on in cinemas, and thread about what's on TV, which I don't have ... well I have VHF/UHF telly but no digital reception, so no TV.

But I do have this laptop which I watch DVDs on ... so this threads about shows from DVDs.

Last week I watched 'Terminator Genisys' - not a bad reflection on today's common reliance on the net and our unwitting acceptance of bot surveillance. ...' Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows 2' - Yeah OK, so I'm a big kid ... and ... um ... I forget.

Last night I watched 'The New world' - about Brits trying to establish a colony in Virginia (America) and an Amerindian princess' adoption of western lifestyle ... it was OK.

Got 3 more to watch ... let you know if they're any good.

and .. um .. I forget, was Wolf Creek - boring, then sick. Much preferred Wolf Creek 2. Was funny, except the bit where he ground the Pommy's fingers off with an angle grinder. That was a bit fucked up.

Watched 'Harry Potter, Deathly Hallows 1 - OK for a kids show, don't know why it's got an M rating.

Watched 'Free State of Jones' - excellent movie about true story in American civil war.
Got it from the 3 DVDs for $30 box at Sanity. Highly recommend everyone see it.
Yeah OK I have a bit of an affinity for dem dang southern hillbillies, but that's not why.
Yes I like the insurrection theme - as a kid my favourite book was "50 mutinies, rebellions and revolutions".
One thing I found informative was about how registered Democrats started the KKK and rigged elections.

Watched "Exodus, Gods and Kings" - yeah it's the 1st Jew sob story, but reasonably done.
I didn't know Moses went in to exile for 9 years and had a family while in exile.
I liked this insurrection version better than the old poor Jew pacifist victim version.
I knew about the plagues, but I didn't know the crocodiles ate the fishermen ... that was entertaining.

I have Free State of Jones ready to watch but haven't done so yet. I should watch it soon.

Watched several movies since last post. Most are forgettable.
But 1 I really liked ($6 at Kmart) was 'District 9'
It's a South African alien movie.
I'm not sure if it's meant to be portrayed as serious - as in action movie - but I found it quite funny.

District 9 is a fucken great show . Sicario is the best movie of have seen in recent times, do yerself a favour and watch it
