aquarius91 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 LexiePiper: Did you cry at seven pounds? I've watched it twice now and balled my eyes out both times!! I've asked for it as a xmas prezzie. It wasn't a dvd but this afternoon I watched Matilda on tv. Can't believe that film is near enough 14 years old!!

I've asked for it as a xmas prezzie. Yes, every time it still gets me and I've seen it about 7 times! It's an amazing film I'm watching Con Air atm
rach.at.the.disco Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Benidorm Series 1. Madge is by far the best character in the show.
Stephanie2008 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I love Benidorm, but the earlier ones were the best ones, I think it started to dissolve a bit in the last series. I'm now on series 3 of Black Books
BookJumper Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 BBC Pride & Prejudice with my mum and sis - it's official, it's Christmas.
Stephanie2008 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I watched Eagle Eye last night (and quite enjoyed it) then went back to Black Books
BookJumper Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 We showed City of Ember to mum last night, and I'm pleased to report that she enjoyed it very much .
teamedward Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I watched Ice Age 3 this morning with my daughter. Very funny film. Lisaxx
Stephanie2008 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Red Dwarf Love it Definitely one of my top 5 programmes (well not counting the newer ones - it was OK but really not a match for the original series )
nightingale Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Love it Definitely one of my top 5 programmes (well not counting the newer ones - it was OK but really not a match for the original series ) Agreed . The early series were cheap-looking but cheerfully funny. But the later series i thought, were impressive looking but the charm had gone from the show. Last dvd i watched was Sleuth starring Jude Law and Micheal Caine
ned Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I love Red Dwarf but it's hard to watch it now because i keep thinking "there's Llyod from Corrie, Gordon Brittas from The Brittas Empire, that bloke from Scrapheap Challange and i swear i've seen the Cat on a childrens tv show"
nightingale Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I love Red Dwarf but it's hard to watch it now because i keep thinking "there's Llyod from Corrie, Gordon Brittas from The Brittas Empire, that bloke from Scrapheap Challange and i swear i've seen the Cat on a childrens tv show" That's funny because when i see the Red Dwarf actors in anything else i immediately think of their Red Dwarf characters. They'll always be typecast as the 'Boys from the Dwarf' for me . Brittas Empire was blooming funny, it should get a repeat on 'Dave' . Apparently a US pilot was made of Red Dwarf, but it didn't take off. Don't think it's ever been shown in the UK. Would love to see it.
ned Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Was it with American actors or did the British one resume their roles?
nightingale Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 My understanding is it was with US actors (unknowns) but the English actor who played Kryten kept the same role. Not sure when it was filmed, possibly in the late 90's- early 2000's???.
lexiepiper Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Penelope. What did you think? I thought it was a really cute film
nightingale Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 - you're probably right. Just did a quick google and the US pilot was filmed way back in 1992. Holly the computer was played by Jane Leeves the British actress in Fraiser! And the actor cast to play Lister was a bit too handsome with a designer stubble *tuts*. Apparently, Chris Barrie was loathed to do it as he was unhappy with the tv contract. Sounds like it was a troubled venture from the get go .
ned Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 1992, wow! I have to say that i am not a fan of american remakes of british shows anyway. I hated The Office remake with a passion.
Charm Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Jumper, it was ok, not much of an ending though.
