Title: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 11:50:06
I've watched two already today.

Started with Raiders of the Lost Ark. I'll get through Temple of Doom and Last Crusade before I get around to watching the new one. Haven't watched them for a few years and always good fun.

Then I thought it was a good idea to watch Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma. I now feel more than a little disturbed. I don't think I'll watch it again, it was pretty hard going, makes Cannibal Holocaust look like a picnic. It's got more about it as a film though, less just comic book violence for the sake of it and more of a psychologically damaging edge.  I wouldn't recommend it if you're at all offended or disturbed by anything, ever.

I'm in a film watching mood, although I'm not sure what I'll watch next. Definitely something a bit more light hearted. Might get some jobs done first.

Ben - I am jealous as fuck that you have time to do all this film watching....

I sat and watched Educating Rita last week - just flicked it on for 5 minutes as it was on the beeb - then couldn't turn it off...

Michael Caine at his VERY best - and Julie Walters is bloody hilarious !!!

I've got a job interview next week, so I better enjoy it whilst I can. Just in case I accidentally get the thing.

I've got a fair few films kicking about that I keep meaning to watch but never get around to it. I'm going to make the effort over the next few days.

The big 3 I keep putting off are Metropolis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017136/), The Shawshank Redemption (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/) and Breathless (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053472/).

There's a few others but those are the ones which come to my head immediately.

I've been watching 'The Jungle Book' this morning, some friends came round with their youngsters so I found this in our old collection, it was great, me and the kids didn't take our eyes off the tele for the whole film. Might watch it again when they've gone home. :D

I always think it's a shame that Will Smith turned down the part of Neo in the martrix. If only because I want to here what he would have done for the sound track.

I can't think of anything better than a pop-rap hit based on that film. It would blow my mind.

I’m patiently waiting for the Lost Boys 2 which is bound to bad in a terrible way.

I’m supposed to see Indiana Jones this week although it’s mixed reports from everyone at the moment and this bout of manfluenza doesn’t make trip to a draughty old cinema that appealing.

Last film I saw was Field of Dreams on Sunday on ITV largely down to my laziness to either go to bed or change the channel.  One of those slightly sickly Yankie films that has a bit of a random charm about it that makes it worth watching and James Earl Jones is a top notch addition.

Watched Clash of the Titans with the kids at the weekend when they showed it on five. All three of us absolutely gripped from start to finish and the kids have had it on two of the three evenings since. Now that's a classic! Just can't beat it for a bit of the old Kraken, two-headed dog and bird with snakes for hair action.

If you don't mind watching on your computer then watch threads. You can stream it super fast over google video...

It's brilliantly bleak, as well as entertaining in the way in depicts a slice of britain which seems old fashioned now. Even if it was only 25 years ago.

I watched both St Trinian's and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street last night. Both a bit mediocre. St Trinian's lacked any sort of development in the characters, was all a bit one dimensional. Might have been ok if the plot had something about it. It had a few funny moments early on, but the laughs dried up massively towards the end.

Sweeney Todd was better, but seemed to stall about halfway through. After they'd come up with their barber and pie shop super combo, they seemed to do fuck all but sing about it for half an hour plus. It was a bit of a three act affair. Act 1 - Good. Act 2 - Boring. Act 3 - ok, although after the repetition of act 2, a bit obvious.

meh.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, June 8, 2008, 22:15:12

One thing I'll say for Sweeney Todd is that the cast were pretty top. I get a bit bored of the wankery over Depp, but he was good in it. It just seemed to lose it's flow after a while, before clumsily rushing through the end.

Didn't the BBC do an adaptation of it with Ray Winstone? Obviously non-musical (I think). I'm not sure if I dreamt it, but I'm fairly sure I remember catching it and thinking it was ace. Might have been in two parts. Possibly around Christmas time, a few years back?

Ray Winstone is ace anyway.

Not really a film as such but I've been watching the century of the self whilst playing tetris this evening. I already feel about 100times cleverer. I think that Adam Curtis is some sort of x-man who's voice has the magical power of brain expansion.

I thought that was a waste of money.

With all these rubbish films I went to see at the cinema, it's little wonder I stopped going and started playing football, despite it being Orange Wednesday 2-for-1 and getting dicked every game in the league (we're a cup team I promise).

I emailed back Simon but he seems adament about playing on a Wednesday. The league is on Wednesday so we can't do that day (well not until the league is over in 6 or 7 weeks time).

We're all up for it if it was on another day though.

I'm not sure Simon Pegg is capable of ace stuff with out Edgar Wright writing with him and directing.  Run Fatboy run wasn't terrible though. Just pretty average.

Also I started to watch 2001-space odyssey today, but my viewing was cut short by my spawn wanting to watch spongebob square pants  :evil:

2001  seemed rather arty-farty for my liking, and quite dated although I liked clockwork orange. Is it worth me continuing with 2001?

this week i watched.
the negotiator, which i liked.
the siege, which was average at best.
and sin city, which was a pile of stinking horse shit.


The Siege (if we're talking about the Denzel Washington film) got absolutely slated when it came out for being unrealistic - but after 9/11 the film got popular for it's links to what the movie was trying to say.

But you're right, it is an average film.

I didn't get caught up in the Sin City hype either - I thought it was okay but not as amazing as people tell me.

Predator trivia: Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were 1" bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger.

i was put off by it's running time as well, though i found it engrossing enough that i didn't get impatient. nicely paced.

i just re-watched no country for old men, it really is a truly masterful piece of cinema. my parents weren't impressed with the ending though...

bought a few films this week:

- no country for old men
- walk the line
- the lives of others
- goodbye bafana
- the last king of scotland
- inland empire

Why do so many people have a gripe with the conclusion of No Country For Old Men? When leaving the cinema I heard more than few people complaining about it.

I for one was disappointed there wasn't a Michael Bay explosion that kills the entire cast while the farmer from the movie "Babe" enters clutching a machine gun and chomping a cigar - he then declares "that'll do Pig, that'll do".

Hmmm it's so absurd it might just work.

Dear Universal Studios....

It was a brilliant - it was true to the book.

There Will Be Blood is out of Montag - which I enjoyed, it was a bit of a slog to begin with but it was a brilliant film.

Recent film I loved was the Spanish film The Orphange. It was just amazing.

Saw Collateral last night on Film 4 and thought it was a class act from Micchael Mann.

Loved the moment when the Coyotes/Wolves cross the road and everything just stops and Max snaps out of his trance and the  final look on Vincent's much at the end when he realises whet he's done.

Not normally one for Cruise the bum surfer's films but he wasn't bad in that at all.

i saw control last night, the one about ian curtis.

kindve weird, obviously tragic, not enough music and a slightly short life to warrant such a biographical film- of course that's what really makes the tragedy though.

would recommend it though to anyone with a slight interest in JD/post-punk, but watch with an open mind.

It's called Bite My Shiny Metal X (you can get a torrent of mininova) - with the cast and writers in attendance it's a pretty heavy maths lecture by Dr. Sarah Greenwald. In a nutshell it discusses the mathematics in Futurama and solves hidden messages the writers put in the show etc...

Yes very good. Walken is someone who needs to learn how to say "no" though, the number of shit films he's been in is quite absurd (Also see; Samuel L Jackson). And apparently he went through a phase of insisting on a dancing scene in any film he agreed to be in.

Incidentally I added 'The Counterfeiters' to my lovefilm list so I'll probably get to see that sometime around Christmas.

I have an idea that she had a bottom double.Sure she was going out with Rod Stewart at the time and he got pissy at the idea of his girlfriend dancing around in the buff.Strange that :D

It is an absolute classic film though,one of the best British movies ever i would have said.

Her voice was completely dubbed too. Bit of an odd casting that one.

and I've got the second Futurama film to watch tonight - The beast with a billion backs. hope it's good.

I guess it was about the same in goodness as the first one, a little disappointing though. The trailer for the third looks bizarre which I count as a good thing.

Another hit or miss by Spike Lee. Ed Norton is pretty decent in it - but it gets just strange in places... Another good performance by Phillip Seymour Hoffman though.

In other news The Dark Knight has taken the number 1 spot from The Godfather on IMDb - can't remember many doing that - it'll be brief but it just adds to the hype.

It's not everyone's cup of tea' but to be honest it's a typical tarrantino film,he always offer's something different to other producer's.I love that film' i reckon it's great as the other part to it is aswell Death Proof.Different movie but it's part of a pack called Grindhouse if you aint seen Death Proof i would reccomend it if you like tarrantino.

It was aimed to create the atmosphere of the old grindhouse movies years ago that was shown at the drive in's

I’ve always thought Tarantino films do what they say on the tin.  There not big or clever or necessarily original but he does manage to create very watchable B movie style schlock.

After Pulp Fiction he pretty much said now that he’s loaded he’s going to make the films that he wants to see, which to be fair he does it quite well.

Quite looking forward to his next effort Inglorious Bastards, which is a Great Escape style WWII effort.

I can't find Belucci attractive since being introduced to her in 'Irreversible'. Absolutely rank scene that, for some reason I re-watched it a couple of years after my first view - never, ever, again.

Kill Bill 2 was ace and pakaged the first up nicely.

I can never bring myself to watch films more than once, but Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were pretty shit hot from my limited viewing.

I like to hear Tarantino talk rather than watch his films, he's such a geek it's great. Dude watches 6 films a day, on a bad day.

I watched Terkel in Trouble (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terkel_in_trouble),imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386820/)) last night. It was good fun. Obviously going to get comparisons to South Park, but in reality it was more like a brightly coloured Disney film with dark subject matter. I enjoyed it, even if it took a while to get going and the pacing was a bit off at times. Fun twist at the end, although more in a "why" sort of a way than not expecting it to happen.

Worth a watch if you haven't got anything better to do. Some of the random musical numbers were fun.

Just got back from watching the The Dark Knight.

Certainly a good film - Heath Ledger is deliciously evil, but is most certainly not meriting all these accolades he's been linked to for his portrayal of The Joker... He did a very good job, but he was a villian in a comic book movie - he did what was expected of him. I enjoyed the performance of Aaron Eckhart who does a good job as Harvey Dent.

It is 152 minutes of worthy watching - but it is no way the greatest film of all time, which the 115,000 good voters of IMDb believe.

i don't think people would be waxing lyrical to such an extent were it not for heath ledger's death. cynical perhaps and i haven't seen it yet but nevertheless...

i've only seen aaron eckhart in thank you for smoking and i thought he was brilliant in that.

I think it's more to do with Batman Begins being quite good and the films are going in a different direction, so the expectation is there. Similar to the new Bond film I think.

I didn't even know Heath Ledger was in it, most people I've spoken to seem to talk about Christian Bale as Batman.

Not at all, you're right. As I said, Ledger did a very good job, he was what I expected a new look Joker to be like - but that was it, he was not out-of-this-world. The Academy Award talk is a little embarressing.

Aaron Eckhart is vastly under rated - He doesn't help himself with some of his career choices - such as The Core. Ew.

Yeah it was - probably due the accounts of the underage sex and the teenage lad in the film called "the Virgin Surgeon".

That's one of Rosario Dawson's first films (also Chloe Sevigny for that matter)

I saw Batman last night in Holloway. Great film. Long, but non-stop, fast paced storytelling.

Heath Ledger was superb as the joker. It's the little details which make a great performance and he'd nailed it - the creepy giggle, tongue thing, twitchy eyes. There's a real (short but) nice shot of him riding out the window of a taxi acting all crazy which typifies the character and actor.

I didn't think that much to Bale, especially his stupid gruff voice when playing Batman. He was alright though.

Eckhart was really good. A bit cheesy, but good.

Agreed. Tina Fey did a good job adapting the story. All before Lohan went dolally.

Fact: The phrase "Gone doolally" comes from bored British soldiers stationed at the Deolali camp in India.

Meanwhile Lohan is doing doing better according to L.A's finest.

http://uk.imdb.com/news/ns0000002/#ni0341925

"Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan attract and encourage the paparazzi by behaving badly, according to Los Angeles police chief William Bratton.

In an astonishing outburst on Thursday Bratton claimed photographers have calmed down since "Britney started wearing clothes (and) Lindsay Lohan has gone gay", referring to the actress' rumoured romance with DJ Samantha Ronson.

He said in an interview with local TV station Knbc-tv, "If the ones that attract the paparazzi behave in the first place, like we expect of anybody, that solves about 90 per cent of the problem. The rest we can deal with.

"If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God, and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue."

Bratton refused to appear at a Los Angeles City Hall meeting scheduled for the same day, attended by rocker John Mayer, to discuss ways to restrict aggressive paparazzi.

He insisted "we have sufficient laws on the books" to deal with the paparazzi."

leefer the the nasty man in Derailed is Vincent Cassel.

I saw Derailed at the cinema when I was in the U.S. - entry was free because it was a promotion night for this radio station, observations from that evening...

1) Metal detectors at cinemas is odd.
2) Whacky radio DJ's and their slogans - just like the parodies in the cartoons - still exist, big time.

I loved Good Night & Good Luck when I saw it at the cinema - haven't seen it since... I liked Secretary too.

When the latter came out for rental I was working at Blockbuster - this person returned it complaining that it's described as a black comedy and it didn't make her laugh, that happened alot but the best bit was when she told me that she rented it to watch with someone who had just returned from hospital for self-harming.

I politely read out the description on the back which mentions that Maggie G's character was that way inclined.

Best tag line though - ASSUME THE POSITION.....

scum - brutal.

all the boys love mandy lane - started terribly, got better once it got into teen slasher territory. descended into farce.

dark water - more of a psychological thriller than a horror at times but excellent nevertheless...

Christian Bale is great in American Psycho - he made it Hip to be Square that's for sure. It's a bit of "marmite" film though, people tend to love it or loathe it.

I acually liked Apocolypto unlike DRS - haven't seen Flags of our Fathers yet - but it's on my to watch list.

Jack Black needs to know what a mouthful of broken teeth tastes like. His BIG and LOUD shtick is perhaps good in a cameo role, such as High Fidelity, where it offered a distraction, but in a leading role it really irritates. I feel driven to violence just thinking about him.

Watched Rocky III whilst spending the afternoon drinking through last nights hangover. I love that film, but in my head I can never decide if I prefer III or IV. I think most people say III, but there's something about IV which clicks with me. I think it might be that the entire second half of the film is montage after montage. One big Montage.

I watched trade the other night pretty disturbing mind,Its about how women and girls are getting snatched and forced into prostitution or even sold to like male peadophiles,this came out not long after maddie got snatched so it caused a bit of a stir,but in another sense it highlighted how often this occurs especially abroad..

Although this was fictional it still hit home pretty damn hard,I cant say it was enjoyable but its one of them films you need to watch now and again,unless it ever happens to someone you know its kinda forgotten about by people.

It kinda made me sad thinking some poor girl somewhere at this moment in time is going through this kinda of shit.

I watched Ferris thingies day off for the first time the other day (that I remember, some of it seemed familiar), but I guess you've seen that.

If you forget about the Sci-Fi bits then Star Trek II is the best cold war sub thriller film ever made.

The Devil's Chair is sort of horror, and sort of really randomly placed comedy moments, with part psychological randomness. It's a weird one and worth a watch, if just for the complete inaneness of having Matt Berry in it.

Well that's two films in the catagorys you don't want out the way.

Dead Mans Shoes is good, but I guess you've probably seen that.

Errr. picking things off the top of my head... Brazil? You must have seen that.

Any Kubrick films you haven't seen?

The Walace and Gromit film about the rabbits. That's ace.

Any of the Hayao Miyazaki films, Howl's moving castle is ace.

The ridiculous in it always went one step to far. It had the makings of a good dark comedy but just took everything just over the edge of ridiculous. Lot's of people who haven't seen each other for a long time in one place, good scenario for comedy. Find out the dead person had a gay affair, awesome. With a midget? Too far. The whole drug thing was stupid, the characters in it are quite strong, so why rely on ridiculous misunderstandings and coincidences for some pass the drugs around jokes.

It just reeked of missed opportunities a bit to me. It all felt a bit like an extended episode of a sitcom, but one where they waste time reintroducing the characters.

Stranger Than Fiction was a good effort and as close as Ferrell has got to what you're suggesting. Poor old Carrey, he's made some very good films post-mid 90's whackiness... But he'll always be Ace Ventura or Lloyd Christmas!

I've not watched a film at home in ages... Got too much TV dvds to get through. Arrested Development (awesome), Curb Your Enthusiasm (seasons 1-6 for only £36) and Entourage.

The complete West Wing is available at work for £50 at the moment and I'm tempted, stick the 30% discount and it's a bargain (the best I ever had).

I thought that the Orphanage was OK Mex, wouldn't call it scary though as it was too similar too many other ghost movies and so I knew what to expect.

I have just watched journey to the center of the earth, thin in plot (Not that I was expecting one), but entertaining regardless. Worth a gander especially if you have kids.

As nobody else seems to be about I'll answer.

Yes it is. It was in some of the papers yesterday that the fellah's now planning on leaving Italy as he's sick of living his life in carabinieri barracks protected by a team of seven paramilitary carabinieri.

Which does sound like it might cramp your style a little.

I've been shitting it every so often watching it now. Enjoying it immensely, and that's without any sort of nostalic feeling towards it, me not being born in '81 and all.

The main female love interest character keeps throwing me off, one minute she's miss independent lady and the next she most certainly knows her place. I guess I'm a bit modern.

The main character looks a bit like matey boy in Dead Mans Shoes. But I'm sure he looks like someone else more, I just can't put my finger on it.

Is that the one with tom cruise, he gets into a big law firm but its all a bit dodgy? i saw it a while ago and thought it was really good.

I've just finished reading Factotum by Charles Bukowski, and am now about to watch the film. Would definitely recommend Post Office and Factotum if anyone is on the lookout for good books, he is a big drinker and gets up to all kinds. his writing is hilarious.

I've just finished reading Factotum by Charles Bukowski, and am now about to watch the film. Would definitely recommend Post Office and Factotum if anyone is on the lookout for good books, he is a big drinker and gets up to all kinds. his writing is hilarious. I am going to watch the film in an appropriate mood: with a whiskey and a smoke.

I couldn't understand how factotum could be made into a film, then when I saw Matt Dillon was the lead I decided definately not to watch it.  Not a great book I wouldn't say anyway, Ham On Rye is his best by far IMHO.

Just looking on IMDB, I see Corey Haim has a part (presumably cameo) but can't spot any other originals.

But i digress, I love the way some characters are described:
   Lindsay Maxwell   ...    Hot Girl at Party
   Karolina Turek   ...    Latex Girl
   Ildiko Ferenczi   ...    Latex Girl
   Jennifer Rostad   ...    Topless Girl

I thought it would be a good film, his snappy writing and dialogue lends itself to a transfer to film. Many of the lines which I thought would sound ace in a film were missed out though, and the pace and humour of the novel had drained away.

Women is on its way to me, then onto Ham On Rye.

I saw 'Hunger' last weekend. Its about Bobby Sands and the 1981 Hunger Strikes by IRA terrorists.

The cinema was silent for a good few minutes when the credits rolled, nobody moving or speaking. Quite an effect and not a reaction I've ever seen before.

Well worth a watch and a brilliantly done film. Not sure whether its possible to enjoy a film so brutal and horrible, but I'm glad to have seen it.

I watched This Film is Not Yet Rated last night. About the MPAA rating system. Fairly interesting but didn't really come across as balanced. It's on google video... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-559517494445537267

Then I watched Richard Dawkins' documentary The Root of all Evil. Which is also on google video.
Part 1: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9002284641446868316
Part 2: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7619161192220036050
Whilst I agree with most of what he's saying, Dawkins doesn't half come across as a bit of a twat. People have recommended me some (one?) of his books before but I've never read them. I guess his arguments and reasoning might be more suited too writing than telly?

There's quite a lot of ace stuff on google video. It's like a posh youtube where things can last more than 10 mins.

Cape Fear by Scorsese starring De Niro was really good, De Niro in full on psycho mode.

The Tenant by Polanski starring Polanski was really obscure and far too abstract for my liking. Was he convicted for Phaeophilia? May explain some of the strangeness.

V for Vendetta was on telly the other night and looked really good from the first fourty minutes which is all I watched. Stephen Fry was in it, which means it must be pretty amaze. I think I'll try and download it when I get home unless someone tells me its shit.

I've seen the film but wish I'd read the book before I did. I will get round to reading it at some point no doubt.

I'm halfway through watching The Stand, nowhere near as good or epic as the book, but entertaining thus far.

Dog tired..great film...Tom Hanks is brilliant as always,books always seem better,usually because we rarely watch the film then read the book.
Also with a book its you who directs the film in your own brain...ware as a film is another persons interpritation of events...if you know what i mean.

I haven't seen Hancock, but I do know that what the world really needs right now is a new album from Big Will, the world's greatest rapper. Maybe a critical mauling of his latest big screen effort is what it will take to send him back to the studio. :)

Ah right wasn't aware that there was another.

I think the next Stephen King film I am going to try and watch is Desparation. It's got naff reviews, but I always think the naffness of a horror film often makes it good. I thought as I read the book that Ron Perlman would be the actor to play Collie, and that's exactly who plays him in the film.

Desperation is about a mining town in Nevada (I think it's Nevada). There's some sort of demon thing which is killing everyone and loads of Chinese people who work the mine.

Oh yeah I forgot to say, I watched Chinatown the other day and thought it was actually rather good. Nicholson plays the part of Gittes perfectly.

It missed out a lot of that, I think mainly because he wanted to highlight his demise more than his rise.

I watched the new Batman last night, I was a tad disappointed. I thought that Batman had a weak character, and they did not make the most of the Joker who was a bit dead good (Pun intended). But then again what can be expected from an action type movie based on a super hero.

I also watched saw 5, I was not disappointed. the reason being that it was the milked to fuck crap that I expected it to be, even the killings aren't as gruesome as they used to be.

I am just about to watch Mama Mia, as gay as it may sound I like both musicals and ABBA, as does my daughter and misses.

Saw Yes Man while massively hungover on New Years Day, not as good as the book (obviously) but still alot better than i was expecting. I'm absolutely besotted with Zooey Deschanel now.

Looking forward to seeing The Wrestler and getting around to seeing Australia

I watched Knocked Up tonight. I was pretty disappointed with it, not because it was a bad film, but it's one that was hugely exaggerated to how good/funny it was by most people I've spoken to.

Also that scene is not as bad as people make out. At school we had to watch a video of a woman giving birth in sex education and that really was fucking sick. In fact, I think it tamed everyone's hormones for about five minutes, which was no mean feat.

I thought Superbad had more laugh out loud moments, loads more.

Pineapple Express was a film I didn't think was very good. If you're going to make a typically stupid stoner film, at least make it so stupid it's funny (or not show the best bits in the trailer). It probably rocks if you're stoned though, but I bet not as much as the crazy Cheech & Chong films.

Surprised that Mickey Rourke won best actor,laughed at his speach,even with the bleeps.

No surprises with Kate Winslet winning and it was good to see how upbeat and funny

The book was superb from what I remember. I read it a couple of years ago whilst at the peak of my fascination with him, and before seeing 'Walk the Line' (which seemed a bit shitty and cheesy after the authenticity of the book version, probably testament to how well he gets his character across on the page).

It follows more or less the same path as 'Walk the Line', but is much better. If you liked the film, I'd definitely recommend it.

You'll want the Patrick Carr version.

Just watched this, honestly thought it was dull, very slow and no great characters to keep my interest. Still, each to their own!

I'm struggling to get round to watching films a the moment. I think the problem is that I've got quite a long list of films I've never seen, that I've got and should watch, but never feel like watching. Stuff like The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, Sleeper, Breathless, Metropolis; some of which I've had kicking about on various hard-drives for nearly a decade. It's putting me off looking up other interesting films, modern or old.

I think I need to get back in the habit of having a time when I watch a film. Need to get back in to that.

Back on films, I watched Tropic Thunder when I was in brizzle last week. It had lots of ace moments, but for me it didn't quite hang together properly. There was all the talk about Downey Jr. doing the black man thing, but for me the weirdest moment was when it clicked that the comically nasty studio executive dude was Tom Cruise. It took an embarrassingly long amount of time for me to realise. Didn't help that Ally kept asking me if it was Gary Oldman... "Is that Gary Oldman? It looks like Gary Oldman."

I know Alan Moore is ignoring it, and I know it will lose the depth of the book. I'm sure it will lose all the "Black Trader" comic bits, all the excerpts from "Under the hood" and from "New Frontiersman" probably, but that's fine, it's a movie and movie have to concentrate on the main plotline or they ramble into incoherence.

Comic written by Alan Moore, and drawn by Dave Gibbons. Rated as the greatest graphic novel of all time. It was the only graphic novel to appear on Time's 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.

I doubt the film can possibly live up to the book but it does look cool.

I watched In Bruges tonight. I think the reviews I read were spot on, I thought it was a very good film. The story alone is a very serious one, but it's the very politically incorrect gags throughout the film which are the reason it's so good.

the weirdest moment was when it clicked that the comically nasty studio executive dude was Tom Cruise.

I didn't realise til after I'd watched it! The funniest bit of the film was when they played that RnB or whatever and he was offering the G5 private jet.

This is the scene...

Les Grossman: Speedman is a dying star. A white dwarf headed for a black hole. That's physics. It's inevitable.
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: We've been handed an incredible opportunity here, Peck.
Les Grossman: The universe... is talking to us right now. You just gotta listen.
[turns on Flo Rider's "Low" and begins to dance to the beat]
Les Grossman: See, this is the good part, Pecker. This is when the job gets fun! Ask... and you shall receive!
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: [dancing along] Right...
Les Grossman: You play ball... we play ball. I knoowwww... you want the goodies!
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Welcome to the goodie room!
Les Grossman: You paying attention? I'm talking... G5, Pecker! That's how you can roll. No more frequent flyer bitch miles for my boy! Oh yeah! Playa... playa! Big dick playa!
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Swinging past ya knees!
Les Grossman: Big dick, baby!
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Yep.
Les Grossman: [turns off the music] Or... you can grow a conscience in the next five minutes and see where that takes you.
Rick Peck: Now let me get this straight. You want me to let my client of 15 years, one of my best friends, die in the jungle alone, for some money and a G5?
Les Grossman: Yes.
Rick Peck: [pause] A G5 airplane?
Les Grossman: Yes... and lots of money... playaaaa!
[turns on the music and dances again]

How does it compare to the other 3? I thought the second one - "The Beat with a Billion Backs" with the league of robots and all that was the best. The first one was pretty good too, but the last one with the dungeons and dragons stuff was poor.

Dan in Real Life is a well-reviewed Steve Carell (so yes Dave is correct) film

The other two are HBO TV movies

Bury My Heart... is based on the book about fall of the Native Americans

Pancho Villa is about the Mexican revolutionary who invited Hollywood to promote his regime.

Last night I watched the Illusionist for the first time even though its been sat on my computer for about 2 years. It was quite good, I liked the effects. Don't really understand how all the little bits the police chief remembers at the end are supposed to fit together. Doubt I'll watch it again.

Then after that I watched Juno for the second time. I liked when she sees her schoolmate outside the abortion clinic and is talking about the pep pills you can take to revise with and says "I heard about this one girl who took too many of those and jumped in the fountain and was like I AM THE KRAKEN!!!" and the other girl just says "That was you."  :soapy tit wank: :soapy tit wank:

Blame the Affleck/Lopez media storm for that (even though she was barely in it).

It's not amazing (in my opinion) but it was certainly watchable.

Might've posted this already but I've been working my way through the Saw films recently, having never seen them before (always assumed it wasn't my thing, not a horror fan). As it turns out the first one is very good, the second isn't far off. Watched 3 last night and I'm starting to notice a decline - a little too much explanation maybe. A bit of back story is useful but I think some aspects could've been left unspoken.

the first film was (relatively) original, fresh and quite clever for what is essentially a slasher flick. the second film was a fairly good reworking of the original premise but the rest of the series just began to feel more and more like recycling after that.

Green Street 2 looks like it might be even worse than the first one but the first was was is quite hard to beat for shitness given it seems to be american take on the hooligan thing starring an american and with basically no authenticity at all.

I watched disneys Sleeping Beauty last night. The animation is awesome and the making of documentary on disc 2 was well interesting. It was really successful but didn't make as much money as you might think given they spent so much making it. Basically drawing one cell an animator took 1 hour and that equated to an eighth of a second of screen time. The bit at the end where maleficence transforms into a dragon is awesome.

The Damned United opens at the end of the month.

From the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace, The Damned United is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Michael Sheen as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough, with Timothy Spall as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor.

Set in 1960s and 1970s England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44 day tenure as manager of Leeds United, the reigning champions of English football. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor.

Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of Don’s boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days.

The book is embellished isn't it?

Most recent film I watched was 'Into The Wild', directed by Sean Penn and starring an impressive Emile Hirsch.

I am a massive fan of Penn's recent work, movies such as '21 Grams', 'Mystic River', and 'The Assasination of Richard Nixon' were all superb, and a great run of films.

Haven't seen 'Milk' yet (Emile Hirsch is in that as well) but I shall endeavour to do so. I enjoy many of Gus Van Sant's movies, even if he is intentionally provocative at times.

Just watched Tropic Thunder. It didn't make me laugh all that much but it kept me interested throughout.

I thought Cruise's character was unfunny going by the clips I saw on Jonathan Ross but he did make me chuckle in the film.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but i watched green street 2 stand your ground last night,it's not very often the second film is better that the first but in this case it is.

More realistic than the first and much better without that yank in it.

On that note about the prison,i suppose it don't look that english but that's a minor detail to me,it's easy to pick holes in every film made when you think about it.

I thought the acting was much better and woman who played the evil cow as the prison guard done a good job.

White Noise II

No idea why I placed this on the old Love Film list as the first wasn’t the best and the 2nd wasn’t really much better either.   Although as recent horror goes it’s probably one of the better films I’ve seen of late, which doesn’t say much.

Bit of a mad concept.  Stare at the static of an un-tuned TV and listen and watch for the dead.  I already have a name for this and it’s called Babestation where every night I get to watch a sketchy shaky image of some cosmetically amended blonde with a dead look in her eyes talk to the sub-human.  All for £2.99 a minute.

5/10

Anyone recommend any decent new horror?

Not really new but not many seem to have seen it, Canadian film called Cube. I always liked that one, although it's one of those you either love or hate. Has a 7.5 on imdb. Avoid the prequel and sequel like the plague though.

Another is a French film called 'Them' if you don't mind subtitles. Short film and takes a while to get going but very good I thought.

Thought The Mist was reasonable enough.

Edit - Not really a horror film but I thought Blindness was a good watch. More of a drama/mystery really but has some horror/unpleasant scenes in.

I watched King Of Kong, last night, basically about a guys attempt to beat the world record for Donkey Kong held for 20 years by a shify Nick Cave lookalike, lots of dodgy goings on and backstabbing, really worth a look if you have even a passing interest in video games.

Just watched Quantum of Solace, and I likey.

I do like the revamped tougher, rougher yet more sensitive Bond and I think that Daniel Craig pulls it off very well.

Being a bit of a bond fan, and not just the films but the whole bond persona, I know that the last two (which are also the first two) bond films along with sequels will see the raw bond develop into the cultured, sophisticated suave Connery type bond that we are so familiar with.

I am looking forward to the next movies and I hope that Daniel Craig stays as part of Bond's development.

I just watched "The Bank Job", starring the UK's premier action hero Jason Statham.

This man has it all: He can growl menacingly, he can ripple, and he has a hairy chest. What a man.

In fact I would go as far as to say he is in the top 2 active action heroes worldwide.

Not so much a film, but I started watching Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray tonight. I've seen the series before, but watching it again in high-def was immense. At the end of Ep. 1 where all the planes take off the sound was fucking awesome (through my stereo) and it sounded like my front room was going to take off.

I love films on planes. Managed to get through 3 on one of the flights to Tanzania, before falling asleep. The highlight was something from around 1942 about aliens threatening to blow up earth if we didn't embrace a peaceful form of international relations - any ideas what it was called, Reg maybe?

A no-brainer comedy always goes down well on flights too, I have wanted to see 'There Will Be Blood' for ages but couldn't be arsed with it when flying. And the planes where you can start watching any film at any time are awesome, its annoying if they have only two showings and you need a piss/nap.

With films on planes I watched Sunshine on the flight to Chile. It's the worst film to watch on a 4" inch screen. Almost no dialogue, hardly any plot and lots of highly detailed special effects in which the characters are tiny.

Looking forward to In The Loop though. Out on the 17th April it's the film version of The Thick Of I but it does have Tony Soprano in it, no nonces and some top swearing.

I saw the original many years ago and thought it was a very good film and it must have been light years (excuse the pun) ahead of what anyone had seen at the time.

The director of "Let The Right One In" isn't the "Pan's Labyrinth" guy, although it is also very rich visually and has a dark storyline as that film does.

The "Pan's Labyrinth" director is Guillermo del Toro whos currently directing "The Hobbit" which is being done as 2 films.

Saw ‘Cass’ on DVD last night.  T'was ok if not slightly another generic variant on the hoolie culture and film.  Plenty of violence and a very good picture of football through the ages from the 70’s through to the late 90’s.

Definitely an interesting character although I got the impression watching the film and having read the book years ago that old Carol used more than a little artistic license to portray himself in a positive light and at the same time not incriminate himself in any naughty business, which I suppose is fairly snuff but not very believable.

6.5/10

Just literally got back myself.

Wasn't sure whether I wanted to watch it because it is fiction. It's no wonder the Leeds players have dismissed the book/film as they are depicted as smug, whiney little bitches.

Really enjoyed the interaction between Sheen and Broadbent (all be it brief).

It's a film - I've seen and read a lot of Brian Clough interviews, articles and books and some of it didn't relate to the Clough I imagine and remember (although he was at the end of his career during my earliest football following days!) but I'd recommend it.

Anyone else seen The Machinist and if so what did you think of it?

I’ve never seen a film quite that quite sets me on edge as it did.  Not the sort of squeamishness you sometimes get with a decent horror or thriller but a real jittery paranoia, although that may well have been the effects of last weekend in the Dam.

Christian Bale is a sickening sight at that weight.  Some of the scenes in the mirror when you can see how much his collar bone is protruding and spine is disturbing when you imagine how much weight he had to lose for the role.   Certainly I’d imagine it as life threatening and couldn’t imagine getting to that sort of weight.

Story wise it’s a grim old ride all the way through and not one for the depressed or those courting.  It’s an original script although I did feel it was dragging through the middle a bit and does end a little flatter than I felt all of that tension was leading to but in many ways it was quite apt the way it did end. 7.5/10

Saw The damned united.Twas good,not amazing.Sheen was brilliant as usual.
Still left the cinema feeling slightly underwhelmed though.Don't know why but football films just don't seem to work.They did a good job of portraying the relationship between Clough and Taylor and it was affecting but i suppose because you know the outcome [Clough/Taylor lead Forest to glory and Don Revie ends up selling out to the Arabs] it loses a bit of its power.Plus its nothing compared to watching one of my fellas football videos from that era.

Having said all that Clough is a legend and it was good to see Taylor getting some credit which he doesn't always get,so all in all an ok watch  :)

The wig on the actor who played Billy Bremner was dodgy,Bremner wasn't blond was he  ??? He was far to Scottish to be blond!!

And Flash Gordon - which I hadn't seen for years and has left me craving more camp sci-fi - any suggestions?
  Barbarella, cant get any stranger than that.

Not a film but a complete series "LOST IN SPACE" (I am referring to the 1960's version) :alien:

Having said all that Clough is a legend and it was good to see Taylor getting some credit which he doesn't always get,so all in all an ok watch  :)

I was glad Taylor got some credit too, people forget about his contribution, he was vital for Clough's success.  Together they would gave been bloody great for England.

Saw The damned united.Twas good,not amazing.Sheen was brilliant as usual.
Still left the cinema feeling slightly underwhelmed though.Don't know why but football films just don't seem to work.They did a good job of portraying the relationship between Clough and Taylor and it was affecting but i suppose because you know the outcome [Clough/Taylor lead Forest to glory and Don Revie ends up selling out to the Arabs] it loses a bit of its power.Plus its nothing compared to watching one of my fellas football videos from that era.


You've just spoilt the plot for me now. Thanks!  >:(

I just couldn't get over the basis of why the daughter was kidnapped in 'Taken'. It definitely wanted to be more of an action flick than a crime thriller, but it could never choose which it wanted, which is why it's only an average film.

Yes but why did they pick women that weren't from the Eastern block? Apparently because they're worth more but surely it's cheaper to source the other kind of women, who they could bulk sell?

Neeson's suspicions of going to Paris were all but confirmed. It was far too OTT and unbelievable. If it was an all out action flick then the plot would be less open to scrutiny, but it wanted to be more sophisticated than that and it didn't work in my opinion.

I've not read the book, but I'm sure it would be better.

ad a monster film weekend and caught...

Death Race:  I cannot recommend this enough.  Based on the original B movie it does exactly what it says on the tin, superbly.  It won’t win any awards but it’s thoroughly entertaining and marvellous far fetched.  A Lovejoy-licious 8/10

The Bucket List: Slow, predictable but reasonably well done.  Should and could have been a lot better, especially with the cast involved but even still it quite an enjoyable watch and prompted me to write my own list.  6.5/10

Saw V: Mercifully short.  Not bad, not great and effectively a clone of every other film in the series with the added spin of ensuring the series has a foundation/excuse to continue.  Saw VI is already wrapped up and will go about wrapping up the loose ends.  I think it’ll prove to be the end of series.  5/10

Finally watched Der Baader Meinhof Komplex last night and probably loved it a bit too much. Despite it being the best part of two and a half hours long, it really doesn't get boring. If anything it feels like they tried to cram in too many 'attacks' and probably rushed German Autumn a bit much and as such failed to convey its impact.

The film was made even more special by Baader using the word 'Fotze' every 2 minutes.

If subtitles don't put you off, I thoroughly recommend it.

Somers town is very short, but has great characters and direction, makes bits of london look very evocative. Shane Meadows is always worth a watch.

JCVD is bizarre, I'm not sure whether it's a film, an autobiography or a swipe at the media and hollywood. I'm guessing it's a bit of all three, and it's definately 'a film for Belgium'. His little speech at the end of chapter 3 is very convincing.

What's JCVD then?

All I can think of is that Justin Collins has confused the monkeys at bristol zoo with local ladies, and has caught something nasty as a result. And has somehow spun it into one of those all too common Belgian anti-holloywood flicks, with the subplot of his rotting cock interwoven into the general storyline.

No?

Probably worth watching for Rachel McAdams, who remains very fanciable. But then all the gains by casting her are almost entirely offset by Ben Affleck and his massive jaw being in it.

Its about an American that goes to India to train Indians to sell crappy American products.

Its kind of what I am doing but without the crappy American products and that I am not American.

I have people based offshore in india calling me at work with technical issues. Does the language barrier not frustrate you?

Also, no offence to anyone indian but the accent grates on me a bit sometimes.  :/

To be honest its much easier speaking face to face than over the phone so I don't really have many problems. I have been here since the middle of January so have got used to the accent.

The one thing that is kind of annoying is the Auto Rick drivers who haven't got the faintest idea where they are going in their own city! The fact they speak barely any English is an understandable challenge but the good ones who take me where I ask without trying to get me to go to their family's shops always get a nice tip from me and you get a geniune good feeling when you see the smile on their faces as these people earn an absolute pittance.

Also - as outsourcing is to save the company money in wages does that mean theres a huge gap in wages between you and the people directly under you as you are on a UK salary (and probably a good one seeing as you have to travel to offshore) and they are on an indian salary (altho its probably good by their standards).

Well I am actually on a Luxembourg salary and benefits which is way better than the UK for a start.

I have heard what an Indian salary is and their benefits are terribly poor for UK and Lux standards (maybe about 3-4k Euro a year) but bearing in mind the extremely low cost of living in India its not so bad but they are taken advantage of - for example some of them have to come into work this weekend and won't get paid overtime for it which I think is shocking and bearing in mind these people live pretty far away from Bangalore and use the weekend to visit their families as well which makes it worse.

I believe that the company is saving something like a million dollars per person per year for outsourcing to India.

I bought and watched London to Brighton at the weekend. It was one of the bleakest if not the bleakest thing I've ever watched.

All the characters were so hopeless, it was well acted and it was done in this gritty social realism style that meant it seemed much more real than some ridiculously plotted horror film.

Sat down and watched ‘The Air I Breathe’ last night with Bacon, Whitticker, Fraiser, Geller and Garcia.  Based on an ancient Chinese Proverb about emotions being the cornerstone of this and that.

Not bad the performances were all pretty good.  Fraiser especially surprised me Not since California Man has he been as good as he was in this performance
as a gangster with the ability to see the future.

That said cracking cast and a great concept do no make a great film and it didn’t live up to my expectations.  Reminiscent of a Crash clone but not quite as good 6.5/10

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh because I know it was done by Mel Gibson who's a bit of a mentalist, but I wasn't too bothered about Apocalypto. It was like someone had read a book on foreshadowing, metaphor and probably other clever things which I can't think of the names of at the moment because I'm very very drunk, but hadn't really understood subtlety. All felt a bit shoved in your face. Saying that, 10/10 on how many different angled shots you can have of people running through jungles.

It's called "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?"

Temuera Morrison obviously returned but Lee Tamahori didn't and the sequel suffered because of this (in my opinion).

Tamahori hasn't really recovered from this.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4746004.stm

This weekend I watched:

Role Models - the Mrs' choice, and a very poor one at that.  Not funny.

The Wrestler - Slightly overrated in my opinion.  An enjoyable and at times thought provoking film, but not worth the reviews it got.

The Reader - quite simply brilliant.

Is that a real film? Building on the popularity of Snakes on a Plane, and drawing inspiration from the mega giant squid remains recently discovered....please say yes

YES! YES! YES! It's also based on a mega shark, which is a rare species capable of eating planes and bridges.

I've not read the Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons. The hype at the time put me off.

I finally got round to watching the Da Vinci Code the other month and it didn't inspire me to read the book. I couldn't really care if there was a church conspiracy, especially given the fact that the Bible has more holes in the plot than a Dan Brown novel supposedly has. I don't think I'll be going out of my way to watch Angels & Demons.

I also finally got round to watching Quantum of Solace last week. Was so un-Bond like and the action didn't really have me on the edge of my seat.

Watched it last night - have to say, I don't know loads about American history or Nixon (just what I've picked up from Futurama, and what I read on wiki after the film), but I think the film does a very good job of representing Nixon as something of a conflicting character. I found myself drawn to him personally, even feeling sorry for him as he crumbled in front of Frost.

Good watch, I'd recommend it.

Last night I watched..

The Univited - Wasn't too bad up until the plot twist which was very unexpected and I was initially a bit "wow" but actually I don't think it worked for me. Maybe I should see the japanese original.

Notorious - Was watchable. Have never been hugely interested in Notorious B.I.G and from what I heard his music wasn't amazing but a few tunes sounded OK. Lil Kim was quite hot in it and I'm not generally into black women. In a way it seemed quite an effort of spin to try and put a positive slant on the story of a guy who sold a lot of crack, cheated on his wife, didn't see his kid for long periods, seemed pretty materialistic and died very young. But I didn't know him and maybe he was very talented, haven't listened to much of his stuff before.

Have watched Happy Go Lucky, Star Trek (new one) and Eagle vs. Shark this weekend.

Happy Go Lucky wan't really my thing and a film I don't think I ever would have paid to see. It held my interest and was something different and the banter between the main character and her driving instructor was good nut at the end of the day I didn't think it was that good. I was curious about it though and satisfied my curiousity without getting disappointed as I didn't expect to like it loads.

In contrast I felt a bit let down by Eagle vs. Shark which I did actually buy, altho it was second hand. I expect I will sell it on. It was like Napoleon Dynamite, which I expected but it wasn't nearly as good. Think maybe characters acted too unnaturally and the plot didn't flow totally smoothly as a result as things didn't quite click for me. At least one really funny moment but that was rare in this film.

Star Trek was awesome. Action packed but with a plot you could get into. Made me with I had been interested in going to see it at the cinema when me gf suggested instead of just watching on computer.

I watched the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre last night. Heard years ago it was really good and only just got round to watching it. It wasn't as good as I thought it might be and nowhere near as good as the original.

Overall I think the differences to the plot didn't improve the film but rather took away from it a bit. The classic "grandpa" scene where they're all sat round the table with her tied up wasn't even in it. The lead actress was hot tho and there were a few good bits where she was hiding from leatherface.

Saw the latest Indiana Jones film last night. I'd had the impression it was a bit crap but actually it was a really fun film. Watched the blu ray version and the bit where they go down waterfalls and the ending looked impressive.

Started watching Gomorrah in the early hours. A critically acclaimed Italian film about mobs and gangsters and stuff with several plot strands. Very quickly got bored of that so watched The Condemned instead, starring Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones in one of those reality TV / last man standing type efforts.

That's more like it.

I've bought Gomorrah but can't get beyond the first 20 minutes, so I've bought the book and then I'll watch the film.

Watched Independence Day last night (again), it's probably my biggest film guilty pleasure. Good ol' fashioned popcorn shite... But I love it, everything up to the attack is great :)

Saw Seven Pounds on Friday as well was a bit predictable but hey-ho decent enough sentimental Big Willie romp through.  6/10

Step Brothers last night, which I had reservations about before watching.  Not bad though at all.  I think it’s one of those you’re going to love or hate but I enjoyed it and it has a few amusing moments in the film.  6.5/10

I watched Ghost Town on Saturday night. It was a shame to see Gervais doing a comedy film that was so hollywood ie too cheesy and not very funny. He should stick to doing really funny TV series not making unfunny hollywood movies. Or at least get more writing input into the script to make the jokes better. He looked a bit funny too like he had too much make up on.

I do "get" his comedy. I've seen the office loads of times, extras quite a lot of times, most of his stand up stuff and even a bit of his older stuff. Why do you assume if someone didn't like the film very much they don't understand his comedy?

I think if it was his film and he had had total control over it it would have been better. But there should have been more jokes and they should have been funnier and it was a bit cheesy.

Why do hollywood comedies always have to have this really obvious moral bolted on to them. The point of a comedy should be funny. ::)

Having a moral or message can be done eg the Extras Christmas special but it isn't necessary to have a good comedy.

It is pretty lame. The production values are mostly high but the dialogue is bad, the acting is sometimes crap and the plot isn't that good. Overall its a bit like an episode of buffy or charmed or something, just a bit less silly, with a bigger budget and better looking leads.

I watched Fast Food Nation last night. It felt a bit contrived how they had written all these issues about how bad the fast food industry is into one plot. Also, the plot was not really that strong. It was just about watchable however and not the most boring thing ever (which I thought it might be for the first 5 minutes). At the end of the film there is some very graphic real life footage of slaughter of cattle.

A big screen manga adaptation is always going to be difficult but it didn't do too badly in keeping true to the form, albeit on the big screen.

My major criticism was that it would be far better off as a television series rather than a trilogy of films, it got far too tedious to enjoy watching the whole thing linked up.

Hotel was great, but had the outward bound flight time put back 2 hours only a couple of days before which resulted in us missing the last ferry to Skopelos that night and were put up in a shit hole in Skiathos. Also meant we missed a big chunk of the next day and when you only go for a week that's annoying.

Strangely, I managed to watch it from beginning to end without wanting to switch off and I can see what Shyamalan was trying to do but it's very, very poor.

I watched Waltz With Bashir last night Si. It is really very good and I would really recommend it but also pretty traumatic in parts. I don't often sit still and in silence the whole way through the credits but this time I did.



Much like the characters I often felt completely detached from what was happening in the film, which I guess was the success of using animation. Then the ending when it switched to live scenes made you realise these were very real accounts.

Very thought provoking.

I saw Dodgeball at the cinema about an hour after watching us beat Bristol City 2-1 at Ashton Gate (Henderson match)... I could hardly focus due to alcohol consumption and the enjoyment of ending a 5 year(ish) run without beating them.

Dodgeball is immature but good enough to watch.

I've wathced a few films this week:

Death Warrant - Normally I like van Damme films, they seem to be so bad they're good. This was an exception to that rule and the film was very bad.

Interstate 60 - Wasn't one I'd heard of but expected better from a film with Christopher Lloyd and Gary Oldman in it. It was only just about watchable.

Jumper - It looked bad but the short run time appealed to me. Had so much potential to be a decent cat and mouse action thriller, instead it was predictable and uninspiring. The book is probably a lot better. Still, Rachel Bilson made for very interesting eye candy which redeemed the film a little bit.

Not sure what to watch tonight, hopefully I will find something decent.

Pearl Harbour must be the most slagged-off film I've ever encountered - same goes for Michael Bay. I personally don't get it on either front. Bay's detractors usually sound disgusted, as though he was a serial puppy-kicker or something.

He is much worse than a serial puppy-kicker.  Making Pearl Harbour should come with a minimum tariff of 15 years.  Serial puppy kicking I would give a minimum of 10.

Watched that the other day, good stuff it was too. Only took an interest in it when I read it had Bill Murray in but turned out to be pretty good.

So, transformers last night was pretty much what I expected. Fun to watch at the cinema, good CGI, lots of action... Not a brilliant plot but I didn't really get bored.

I'd read the bad reviews and although I've got the first one on dvd, I don't think it's that good so I went with low expectations and didn't take it seriously. I have to say though, there is some pretty ridiculous stuff in this film.

Here is a selection of some of the most outrageous stuff...

* Megan Fox wearing extreme amounts of lip gloss
*Shia LeBouf getting straddled by a species-esque deceptacon
* A comic duo of transformers who talk in black accents\slang
* An old transformer with a walking stick who talks in a northern accent and says "bollocks"
* Megan Fox carrying a little transformer around like it is a Paris Hilton style chiuaua
* 4 or 5 robots combine in an ultra-mega tranformer that then begins hoovers up half the sahara desert
* Oh yeah btw transformers can teleport.
* The crazy conspiracy theory dude (think the dad from Independence Day) character radios to warships in the ocean who have no idea who he is and asks them to launch a top secret weapon in order to "save a gazillion lives"
* Transformers fight on (and trash) the great pyramid

I also watched Transformers last night. Thought a certain part of the film dragged, then once that got resolved the conclusion of the film went far too quickly.

Was a good fun filled action packed film though. Agent Simmons (conspiracy theory guy) and the voice of Jetfire (the old transformer) are both played by John Turturro.

A classic film and who could also forget the wonderful tv series Monk?

On an aside I see Jeff Bridges is to be in a film called The Giver. Anyone ever read this? Seemed to copy a fair bit from Nineteen Eighty-Four.

On another aside, I will watch The Wrestler tonight.

I'm looking forward to that. I am sure that I'd enjoy as I'll take it as it is: Action + big robots + explosions and stuff.

I can only agree with those bigging-up Wall_E, fantastic film. It's interesting how despite there being relatively little dialogue, so much is conveyed by the characters.

Just watched The Wrestler, very good film. I'd put off watching it for a while but glad I finally got round to it.

Different movie, but for the same reason I think that Tom Hanks is ace for what he did in Castaway. I found his (almost) solo performance very impressive.

That was pretty immense. 3 hours+ but very watchable. Kingsley is epic, some of the other characters weren't so special.

I'm glad I finally got round to watching it, 4.5/5.

I do like the dodgy old cinematography, some of the scene change pauses are classics. On the whole a great job though Dicky.

Updated my LoveFilm account to 2 DVD's at a time. It's proper good this service.

Tonight I'm watching Run Ronnie Run. It's a spin-off from a TV show called Mr. Show. The film stars David Cross who is awesome as Dr. Tobias Fünke, the "analrapist" in Arrested Development.

I'm interested by this film merely because Cross and co-writer Bob Odenkirk disowned the film after its completion.

Run Ronnie Run was a bit shit, loads of cameos though - even David Baddiel turns up for a mini-second.

Worth watching for a small weird segment involving Jack Black doing a Dick Van Dyke skit singing a song called "Kick Him in the Cunt"

Really odd structure for a film. It has flashbacks a bit like what they do on Family Guy.

I thought Juno was quite well done, and Nick and Nora was downright awful.  I think there is a habit at the mo for film makers to see a film well done and essentially take the same idea, change the characters and the context, and make a "whole new" film.  This has really happened with Knocked Up, Zach and Miri, Superbad, Pineapple Express etc, and previously happened with Anchorman, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Zoolander etc. 

A lot of these films exist simply to make money, and have no imagination or wit.  Thankfully, there are alternatives.  I saw a great Swedish film at a small independent cinema the other night called Everlasting Moments.  A terrific, original and witty film - highly recommended.

Also, best film of the last couple of years is Lars and the Real Girl.7

That is all.

Watched Doctor Strangelove again last week, found it extremely funny, and worth another viewing. 

George C. Scott as General Turgidson puts in an absolute classic performance, but rather too close to the truth.


Also saw Transformers and wondered at the mesmerising acting skills of Megan Fox, still trying to understand what the film was supposed to be about and was very disappointed when the character played by Isabel Lucas left the plot.

Dr. Strangelove should be in everybody's top 10 films, most of Kubrick's work is fucking brilliant, and that's probably my favourite.

Sat and watched Anita and Me on BBC1 tonight. A bit quaint for the sake of it in bits, but sort of necessary to show the differences between the cultures the girl's caught between. Or something. Good watch anyway.

I watched Sicko yesterday. I thought it was really good.

A lot of people seem to slate Michael Moore and its true he has a typically american unsubtle style and he picks his evidence very selectively and might seem to be working towards a certain predecided conclusion.

But I think his documentarys are good - he constructs convincing arguments and as far as I'm concerned the messages are good - americas gun culture is fucked up, the war on terror was a smokescreen for increasing americas political and economic power, people shouldn't be dying in one of the worlds richest countrys just because they can't afford to pay for an operation themselves.

There is a funny bit in Sicko where Moore is interviewing this French doctor about their free healthcare and he asks "do you think this could happen in America?" and the doctor says "no". Then on the voiceover Moore says something like "I could feel his seething anti-Americanism".  :soapy tit wank:

Yeah Downfall is badass. The performance of the guy who plays Hitler is excellent.

It is quite a long time to concentrate and read subtitles tho. It's worth it but its one of those films you have to commit a big chunk of your evening to.

Have you seen Black Book? Also a good foreign language WW2 film but very different to Downfall. It's fictional spy thriller with lots of action by the bloke who made Starship Troopers (and Robocop)! Apparently it was like the highest grossing film ever in Holland or something. Its a lot better than I probably just made it sound.  :D

Only trilogy, for me, where the third is better than the second is the Die Hard trilogy, but I seem to be always in the minority on this.

She never complains when we go to the cinema that the screen is too big though. Bloody women logic.

I've just set the cabinet thing up, and she said jeez is it as wide as that? So i said no of course not....waited til she's half way up the stairs and said wider! I will be grateful for the big screen when i'm watching from the garden tomorrow night!

I found Spiderman 3 to be a dull borefest. Even if that's true at least it'll be a 50" HD dull borefest for you. Couldn't get the Mrs to go above 42" here as 50" would be "too big".

She never complains when we go to the cinema that the screen is too big though. Bloody women logic.

She's probably worried there will be more tv to dust  :w00t:

A very good film indeed,Robin williams is so versatile and under rated in my opinion..

Im hoping to watch taken in broad daylight tonight,it's based on a true story about 17 year old girl who gets kidnapped,her cleverness kept her alive as she befriended her captor.

It's called taken in broad daylight not the liam neeson taken.

Well i watched it last night and it was a half decent movie,I've just read up on the story on the net andthey seemed to have done a decent job of how thing's happened.

Anne Sluti was only seventeen,but she was very clever in what she done and kept a clear head,but you can't help thinking she was very lucky she did't end up dead.I suppose it comes down to your captor and how far you think you can push that boundary with them.

Im not sure your find it in the shops,I got it from online as it was a movie aired on the american liftime movie channel.

Not everyone's cup of tea,but if you like true stories then it's worth a watch.

The storyline isn't as complicated as I expected, but it was a well thought out film overall and it was quite clever.

On the slightly negative side Jodie Foster plays her character very well. I say negative because she annoys the fuck out of me usually, but even more in this role. You'll see what I mean.

On the one hand Cass didn't go down the usual football hooligan film route which made it different. On the other it just made it quite an unexciting story about a bloke who used to bash people about.

Had it's moments but it should have had more about the ICF in it, that's what people wanted to see. I didn't know whether to laugh at the ending it was cringeworthy yet amusing.

Back to the topic slightly, I watched the Hustler the other night because I'm ashamed to say I'd not seen before then. I quite enjoyed it.

I went to see Chicken Run for a date once when I was about 15. It was horrible, she was a complete minger. I only went as a favour for a mate. The lucky bastard got the fit one who then went and wanked him off in the cinema.

Yeah, all this having a go at George Bush Jr is very tiresome.

It is, for my money, the biggest bandwagon going and most of the pop-culture commentary on it was regurgitated, lowest common denominator tosh with one eye on resurecting a career or adding an edgy slant to a previously squeaky clean apolitical image.

Hello Green Day.

Anyway here is a good clip:

I watched Rise of the Footsoldier the other day. Thought it was a bit crap really but it was amusing in a simple kind of way.

There were a couple of good scenes like when they bump into Millwall at the tube station near the start of the film.

Didn't realise until the text at the end of the film that its based on a true story. Then it made sense why the narritive was so meandering.

Two films at the weekend:

21 based on the book and directed by closet dog walker Kevin Spacey.   Wasn’t expecting to like this but it was actually ok and ticked along nicely albeit fairly predictably.  Definitely worth a watch but it gets a

Mediocre 6.5/10 from me.

Inside I’m Dancing.  I wouldn’t normally go near this.  A British film starring James McAvoy about the disabled.  I have to say though it was very good.  Funny, moving and a nice coming of age story mixed in there for good measure.  McAvoy is superb as is Steven Robertson who plays a lad with cerebral palsy brilliantly.  Not a blockbuster that will blow you away but if you fancy something a bit different this is well worth  gander

7.5/10

Clubbed was a lot better than I thought it would be, didn't try and sex up the violence, it just got on with it and told the story.

I wasn't convinced by the softee turned hard doorman thing though which was the flaw of the film I suppose, but it did the job and kept me reasonably amused for an hour and a half.

Succinct as promised, good work.

I watched 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' (4th Futurama film) earlier, and I enjoyed it as I have the rest. In fact, I was watching Futurama the other day (the space honey ep) and thought about how affecting I find it to be - some of the episodes can be quite emotional, something you don't really find in other shows of the same or similar genre.

I've watched a few things recently...

Saw the Beyond the Mat wrestling documentary someone on here recommended last night. I thought it was really good.

Watched the new Rambo the other day, which to be honest was shit. At least it was properly violent and not toned down. The best bit by far was Rambo ripping some blokes throat out with his bare hands.  :eek:

Saw Bruno on Tuesday night. I'd been looking forward to it for ages. I thought it was pretty funny but not quite as good as I'd hoped. I would have preferred it if there had been a bit more of the cleverer subtler humour and bit less of the crude blatant visual gags. Afterwards I was thinking maybe I preferred the Bruno stuff on Ali G in da USAii (if you liked Bruno you should consider getting this or at least look on youtube cos its pretty much all on there). Having said that tho there were some fucking hilarious bits like when he takes his baby on to the chat show. I will be interested to see if I like it more or less when the DVD comes out when my expectations aren't built up to the extreme.

If you're into that sorta thing hes done a couple of books that interview guys from different firms, talking about the state of affairs past and present. One was called Terrace Legends the other called Top Boys. I've got the latter and not read the former but Top Boys is a very good read with people from the obvious clubs plus some smaller clubs and european clubs giving their POV and its not all nostalgia about the old days or guys bragging about how hard they are a lot of it seemed pretty honest and up to date.

Yep, tis the extended edtions box set.  I was worried when they announced they were making the films and was delighted when I saw them.

Can't wait for next Saturday which has now fully booked for viewing.

Watched Groundhog Day earlier, never a chore watching.

I like the irony about being able to watch Groundhog Day over and over.

I watched Life Of David Gale at the weekend, thought it was brilliant.
Kevin Spacey is ace, there is only one film I can think of that he was in that I thought was shit and that was Glengarry Glen Ross. Awful film.

Went for a music documentary double bill and both were brilliant pieces of work which I would highly recommend.

First was Anvil, which a few have reviewed on here. Really good, funny but depressing at the same time.

Second was The Devil and Daniel Johnson. It was uber-great. Before, Daniel Johnson was the guy that Kurt Cobain publicised through a t-shirt. But the film documents his bizarre and sad life.

I came up with two to choose from (I do have quite a selection):

#1: A knights tale. Because it is light family humour and Shannyn Sassamaon (SP) is a bit fit.

#2: Constantine. Because............. well it's a bit good innit.


Choose now TEF. Be it #1 or #2, be sure to be quick now.

I watched the Anvil documentary last night. It was a bit depressing in parts like them playing to a room of about 3 or 4 people on their european tour and the lead singer trying a shitty telesales job in a desperate attempt to raise money to record a new album. But it was fairly good and had a lot of human interest. Thing is, since that came out I think they've got more of the big gigs they always wanted.

For a really good informative documentary about Metal I'd recommend the (crappily named) Metal: A Headbangers Journey.

One from Charlie Brooker's latest Guardian Column in which he suggests films that would be better than remaking Pelham 123. Excellent stuff:

Title Come Alive!

Synopsis God decides to grant evangelical preacher Will Ferrell the power to heal the sick with his fingertips. But the almighty's lightning bolt misses its target, hitting Will's penis instead. Now Will is cursed with the miraculous ability to cure any disease or fix any injury – but only if he has full sexual intercourse with the patient. Since Will is also a 45-year-old unmarried virgin with strong views on sex outside marriage, it won't be an easy ride!

Review What starts as a regulation gross-out comedy soon takes an unsettling turn as Will faces an agonising ­ decision at his father's deathbed, before building to a frankly unbelievable conclusion in which a terrorist cell releases the Ebola virus in the local donkey sanctuary . . . and only one man can save the day.

I've got Let The Right One In to watch for tomorrow. Have very high expectations, partly due to this thread but everyone seems to be talking it up.

It is basically the best thing ever. I'm waiting for it to arrive from Play atm. Have it on my computer but wanna see the dvd special features. Hopefully there'll be some interview with the director or something. I've got the book too but haven't read it yet.

Ice spiders.

I was hoping that the "ice" could be referring to meth-amphetamine but alas nay. It was about giant spiders that live in an icy environment. They (the spiders) also seemed to be able to ski quite well. Apparently it was some crazy whacky military experiment gone wrong, with some crazy whacky scientists and stuff to make the plot. The head scientist was English was a thick toff accent, naturally.

It is bad, indeed it is beyond bad. Yet I just watched it, all of it.

ICE SPIDERS!!!

I agree. It is a cool film.

I got the extended cut a while ago but ended up selling it cos the original cut is actually a lot better. There is actually a disclaimer at the start where Ridley Scott says "this is not the director's cut... there a few extras scenes that people might find interesting..." basically saying the studio wanted to put out this version and he managed to get them to put this in so he can artistically distance himself. It's not that the extra bits are really shit it's just that they don't add much at all and they really disrupt the flow of the story.

Saw "The Happening" on Sky the other night. Absolutely crap after early promise, 3/10.

In fact M. Night Shyamalan fluked the Sixth Sense and made shoddy movies thereafter. Only Unbreakable was any good, but even then I really, really hated the lack of finality in that.

I do enjoy the odd 80's cheesy movie. For example, The Wraith was on BBC 1 t'other day. Ok it was rubbish really, but somehow also quite captivating.

I like to think that The Happening would have been a really good book, but it was really bad.

It looked very pretty et al but Mark Wahlberg and the usually brilliant and always lovely Zooey Deschanel are atrocious.

For what it's worth, I think that Signs is Shymalan's best work to date.

I also watched Children of the Corn, which I expected to find really creepy but actually it was rubbish and the special effects at the end when you see the demon were such an anti-climax and just so unbelievably dated it was laughable.

Currently watching Street Kings.

The film itself seems OK enough, but there is something deeply unsettling about Hugh Laurie playing a serious role in a yank accent. I just stop expecting him to get into a Prince of Wales from blackadder type character.

He's not done it yet though, still waiting for him to call for Edmund Blackadder.

I finally watched Let The Right One In last night which I had added to my lovefilm list after reading the synopsis. It's been recommended by a few people since I added it so I was looking forward to finally watching it.

I quite enjoyed the intrigue of the whole thing and it escaped using the cliche that other films of its type use.

I didn't really think 'wow that was a great film' though, the film's hype is a tad undeserved which may be born out of the foreign/cult film hype scenario. I'm not sure how the book would play out, the film could have done with a bit more suspense which the book may have.

The whole idea of someone with bad motives gaining access to the sanctuary of a family home is a good one for a horror/thriller.

Films discussed were those such as Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite and Withnail & I (from memory). I think the eventual conclusion was that it was annoying if you said you didn't rate such a film and the person who did acted liked you'd just defecated on the Pope or had completed a similar faux pas.

Incidentally I like two out of three of these films but they're not the most amazing thing I've ever seen just because others seem to think so.

Platoon on digital last night one of my all time favourites partly driven by the old speccy game that came free with the soundtrack (Smokey Robinson) and that my parents wouldn’t let me watch the film as I was to young.

God I remember waiting for the release of that game for months and it came with a free poster to boot.

Anyway, top film that has stood the test of time and while it’s not as heavy going as Apocalypse now it’s a solid watch.  8.5/10

Tonight I have Underworld Rise of the Lycans.  The original is one of those films I shouldn't admit to liking but it's one of those pointless and stupid romps that are enjoyable all the same.

My girlfriend guessed the twist halfway through and said it to me but that didn't ruin the film. The girl who plays the lead character was so creepy, it was great.

this weekend i have watched the following
Inside- Grousome french film abut a pregnant woman who is in a car crash, another person in the crash also pregant, looses her child in the crash so she goes after the women to take her baby by any means possible, not for the feint hearted, one of the most horrific films ive seen,
that was until 10 minutes later i watched a Japaneese film called Grotesque, its a film with a minimal plot and only 3 actors, which involved 80 minutes of a guy torturing the fuck out of a boyfriend and girlfriend.
Now i have a strong stomach when it comes to things and not much crosses the line in my eyes, but these two films were very very close to being too much for me.

so today a little bit of light heated comedy, observe and report with seth rogan, it was ok, reasonably entertaining, shit story line mind.

Underworld Rise of the Lycans, couldn’t help myself after I found the first Underworld an enjoyable nonsense but the sequel is utter garbage.  Great sets and backdrop but the “plot” was akin to wanking in a toilet roll. 2/10

Saw Hide & Seek shortly after with De Niro, which was again a let down.  It was like  a bad made for TV film that ripped off half a dozen other similar films.  A big Meh 4/10

Watched Funny People today

I always seem to talk about the length of the movie and this one, for a comedy, is a mammoth 146 minutes long! But I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it to anyone who's got time for Judd Apatow's current film movement.

This is Adam Sandler's best film for years.

If you didn't like it, then Casino Royale may be more up your street.  I would suggest avoiding all other Bond movies, they are shit.  Casino Royale was the only one I have ever liked, mainly because it's not like a Bond movie.

I agree with The Live and Let Die suggestion, Roger Moore's first and finest. Bit different from your average bond film too, more battling drug imports than crazy man steals nukes. Haven't seen it for years though and don't really remember if the plot makes much sense.

Most the Connery ones are fairly safe pretty good entertainment, not sure why DaVe doesn't like Diamond are Forever, although all I remember about it is that his fake family motto is "The World is Not Enough". Goldfinger is definitely the highlight.

Tucked in there is On Her Majesty's Secret Service which is definitely worth a watch. It's almost brilliant, but it just keeps falling short. The end always gets me though.

I've got a soft spot for The Spy Who Loved Me, mainly because it was one of the ones I had taped off the telly (along with Live and Let Die) growing up. I'm not sure I'd go as far as actually recommending it though. I love the music which plays when the sea station rises out of the water, I think they use it in Moonraker too.

Anyhoo, that's enough.

All the Connery ones are very good. Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and You Only Live Twice is the best run of films in the series, easily.

Of course the family motto thing is from On Her Majesty's Secret Service but you knew that really didnt you Ben.

Goldfinger is my favourite as well.

Tucked in there is On Her Majesty's Secret Service which is definitely worth a watch. It's almost brilliant, but it just keeps falling short. The end always gets me though.

Its a good film and I'm never quite sure if having Lazenby as lead helps it or ruins it. It follows the book almost word for word and is the only one Pete Hunt directed. I think if Connery had been in it, the action would have seemed better but I dont think I could have bought Connerys Bond falling in love and getting married.

Lazenby does deliver in the last scene though. He gets it perfect.

Quote
Is it possible to watch all 22 bond films over a weekend? Should I try?

I dont reckon it would be. Alot of the older ones are only 1 hour 45 ish but the newer ones run closer to 2 hours 15. Probably averages out at 2 hours per film. If you can stay awake for 44 hours and do nothing else you might have a chance. Have watched them all in a week though.

In the loop.Was very funny.

Let the right one in.Very dark and not much fun.Suppose its usual for vampire movies to be sexy and silly and this certainly wasn't.The acting by the children in it was most impressive.

Read about a film called Berlin 36 on the BBC website.Its about how in the olympics of 1936 the nazis wouldn't allow a Jewish girl to represent them and instead made a bloke pretend to be a girl to take part.But of course.

Great line from the bloke though 'For three years i lived the life of a girl.It was most dull'.  :)

Cassel is a great actor, have you seen La Haine and Irreversible?

Think I saw La Haine in my younger years.  Its very rare that I get time (and away from the missus who wouldn't watch a french film) to watch anything thats my choice.  Glad I did.  Ill try to catch up with irreversible.

We should really start some sort of simple online TEF database of films,  ranked in order with forum members comments after each one.

In effect our very own IMDB

i suggested this about 20 pages ago but as if anyone could be arsed :)

I reckon I could knock something up. Need to dig out my copy of Dreamweaver, but a simple php/mySQL effort shouldn't take too much effort.

Well, I could be arsed and the TEF IMDB is now a work in progress. Thanks to Barry for providing the hosting.

http://www.thetownend.com/samdygray/mdb/index.html

I'd like people's suggestions as to what you'd like to see included. I'm planning on just including film title, comments and rating out of 10 at the moment. Other stuff could be incorporated though.

Let me know your thoughts :)

Watched Hamlet 2 and ultimately enjoyed it.

It's pretty standard until the final 15 minutes when the film reaches the performance of Hamlet 2.

I can see why people will dislike it and Coogan's yank accent isn't great but I personally thought it good viewing all the same.

Morning folks.

Watched two last night. The first was the good documentary Biggie & Tupac which I had seen before but not for a few years... It always strikes me how nice Christopher Wallace's background was.

The second was the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still... I thought it was pretty bad.

Caught Inglorious Basterds at the weekend and it has to be up there with Tarantinos’ Reservoir Dogs.  Brilliantly shot throughout, great story with the usual Tarantino spin but not to indulgent and features some great over the top acting.

Definitely his take on classic war stories like the Great Escape so if you like that sort of thing you’ll love this.

The ending left me a little shell-shocked.  If anyone has seen it or is going to see it then let me know what you think as I really quite wasn’t expecting it all to pan out like it did.  8.5/10





Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, September 14, 2009, 12:36:59
A lot of his critics think that Tarantino is getting lazy and Inglorious proves this further. The guy is an unbelievable filmmaker so has more pressure than most to make classic films.

I saw it and really, really enjoyed the film. It's a long haul and it could have been trimmed down in places but it was still good.

I.B. is worth seeing for Christoph Waltz's performance alone. Fassbender, Laurent and Pitt put in good shifts too.

My only problem was Eli Roth as Donny Donowitz, I didn't rate him in what is a very cool role that could've gone to an actor as opposed to a director/bit-part actor.

Drag Me To Hell wasn't very good. Obviously horrors can be a bit thin on the plot side of things but the way stuff got tagged on to the story as it went on was stupid. Apart from trying to make you jump in a few places the whole idea and the ending was very lame.

It was all too Buffy or Charmed without the tongue in cheekiness that comes with those.

Lies and Illusions,give this a miss,I think christian slater must be cringing after appearing in this,the acting was way over the top and as wooden as can be.I really hate film's like this when the plot is half decent yet the acting and cinematography is nothing short than being amateurish.

Fake fight scenes/Camera always jumping about/guns that never need reloading and nobody can shoot straight unless they are at point blank range.

It seems they spent the whole budget on hiring slater and gooding and then cut corners on the rest of the film.

Angels and Demons,this film was top notch and kept me glued all the way through,tom hanks is such a good actor and very underated in my opinion.

Lies And Illusions (dont bother) Angels and Demons (dont miss this one out)

I think Fred or Mex posted the link to the alternative/oriignal ending they filmed on here.  Definately worth a look and I think it was much better.

If you are on lovefilm, get the Omega Man with Charlton Heston, which was the 1st remake from the mid 70's. Even though a little dated, it's far better than I am Legend.

Watched The reader,thought it was very good.Know some people can't stand Kate Winslet,but i've always liked her,think she picks films that aren't easy,and The reader is one of them.

If you liked Gomorrah,there is a great Storyville documentary on the BBC i player about what happened in Naples when it was liberated from the Nazis.Worth a watch.

Having a look now there are some good films on there which are included as part of your package but they're difficult to filter down and find in amongst the tat (The Fluffer?)

I've just finished Night Watch.

I thought it was a good thriller, certainly kept me in suspense even if it is relatively easy to work out some of the plot part way through the film. Despite doing so, I still wasn't sure how it would all pan out at the end. I think that aspect is good if it is intentional or not, it had me almost trying to spell out to the characters what I thought was going on, classic horror style without the characters being annoying and naive.

8/10

It has bad written all over it (well, not literally, depending on how you view a four-legged jaws. Probably with some amazement and trepidation) but it will get a watch - some friends and I seem to have started a "bad movie club" (which has so far included Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and Teeth).

Is it possible to watch all 22 bond films over a weekend? Should I try?

I'm off work this week, so have decided to give it a go.
All the films estimated running times according to the DVD cases comes to 43 hours and 56 minutes.

I started at about half 11 this morning. 14 and a half hours so far. Gone though Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majestys Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever and about an hour into Live and Let Die.

Should be done by about half 7 friday morning!


Yes, I'm a sad loser but I'm sure you already knew that.

Have you given up yet Daveyboy? How far in are you?

Still going. Just going into the last 20 minutes of The Living Daylight. Bond and Necros are just fighting on the netting whilst hanging outside the plane.

10am Tuesday to 7am Friday. Time for some sleep. So to answer Bens orginal question. It can be done in a weekend if you do bugger all else and can go without sleep.

Quantum of Solace is shit and Daniel Craig is a rubbish Bond.

Not really. Either grabbed some junk or put something in the microwave. Wait for it to finish, eat infront of the tv

Which was the best one or did you end up in a trance by the time you got through them,this could be a new form of self hypnotization.

Goldfinger is the best Bond film, in my opinion.

I was dragging towards the end. Die Another Day is crap (although it is fun to try and spot the links to the other 19 Bond films) and I really dont think much of the series re-boot under Craig.

Casino Royale is the longest film of the set and QoS afterwards was even worse than I remember it being at the cinema.

I heard good things on Front Row. Well they said that Constantine carried a bit, and that the main relationship in the film wasn't the important one. But they still said it was good and it sounded like a thorough review, which front row is good at. Sometimes they just say a film is good to try and make Radio4 sound a bit more hip and trendy.

Really? I read good reviews when it came out and had been really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it looked well good.

I was actually gonna buy it outright but think I'll download and see if I like it now.

Do you like football hooligan films generally tho? (putting aside Green Street which we all agree was shit)


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, October 12, 2009, 07:06:08
It's not really an out and out football hooligan story but I knew that anyway.

The only thing it does well is capture the main character's boredom at the start, by making you equally bored. I don't want to give too much away, but you'd at least expect things to become a bit more exciting when the character gets into new things.

Axs said the book was good, I haven't read it but I think it could be a story which works well as a book and not as a film. I get the impression it's supposed to be very character based.

I can't decide if I like the actual film, or just the soundtrack. I did like 'Sex Drive though'.

Just watched Red Eye. Struck me as being very short, though as I rented it from work unsuprisingly I missed what I think is a small chunk where the two main characters were at the bar in the airport. Average film really, not sure it really suited Cilian Murphy. Rachel McAdams looked lovely as ever though.

I finally got around to watching Away Days the other day.

What a strange film... an arthouse hooligan film focusing heavily on character development. I didn't like it as much as I thought I might when I saw the trailer/read the reviews, but I definitely disagree with the 2/10 recent score on this thread. It is better than that.

Another thing that makes it stand out from the other films in the genre is the gay subplot, which I knew about but which is surprisingly actually a pretty massive part of the plot. I would guess this is part of why it wasn't a massive hit.

Overall an interesting film, even if it doesn't pack the crude punch of Football Factory or ID.

The Day The Earth Stood Still – Not as shit as expected but still a pile of dross.  Not seen the original but by Christ the ending was predictable, tedious and made me want to rub salt in my eyes. 4/10

In The Loop - British political comedy satire.  No idea how it ended up on my Love Film list and expectations we’re low given the premise but it was actually very good in parts.  Not laugh out loud stuff but some quite quirky comedy tucked in there with some brilliant performances from the cast.  Well worth a look if you’re after something a little different and a comedy devoid of knob jokes.  7/10

classic film, yes it was banned in the US for some time, its up there with my top 10 films
have you seen ken park?

kids was good for amazing cinematography and an awesome soundtrack but the film itself was a bit flimsy. i'm not sure it's a film you're meant to enjoy though, so perhaps i was left with the intended feeling.

rewatched withnail & i at the weekend, much as i understand why people hate the whole sixth form student cult surrounding the film, it never fails to amuse me.

Mama Mia.

Quite liking musicals and being a bit of a not so secret Abba fan I downloaded this yonks ago. After watching it once I made sure that it was tucked away towards the back and hoped that it would get lost amongst the dust and grime or maybe even eaten by a cockroach or something else that likes eat DVD's.

My misses just found it though and after a quick clean she is now watching it and it fucking well woorks perfectly, bugger, fuck shit tit wank cunt toss anus bellend.

I think that I might check the disc for its frisbee qualities once finished.

I just watched 13 - Tzameti, a black and white French film. Reading the synopsis I didn't know what to expect (which is the point of the film). Once it got to a point I realised I've seen clips of the film before and thus knew what the film was about, but by that time the plot is panning out anyway and pretty obvious what is going on (though the the rest of plot I didn't know),

An intriguing watch and it's quite clever what happens to the main character at the end, if a little predictable. If you know roughly what the film is about I still think it's worth a watch, if you don't then watch it - but don't read up what it's about as the uncertainty and intrigue will make things much much better. In essence a poor lad pretends to be someone else who has just died, thinking he can get some money from some sort of business arrangement in doing so. You won't work out what's going on until it happens and I don't want to give anything else way.

I'd rate it a respectable 7/10.

Just watched Knowing. Started off with much promise, in fact the frist half of the film was really really gripping and rather good. As the film played out it got worse and worse and the ending was dreadful. The thing which started off being the point of the film bared little impact on what happened in the end.

5.5/10

Went to see Ricky Gervais's 'Invention of Lying' which has a decent concept of a man who discovers how to lie in a world where everyone tells the truth all the time. Fairly entertaining but so much more could have been made of this. Shame RG seems to be pandering at the moment to Hollywood and American audiences making his comedy very lightweight (IMO). Nice cameo from Steven Merchant and Shaun Williamson though. 5/10.

Can't think of anything worse than watching Mama Mia, particularly after holidaying in Skopelos this summer where by all accounts a fair bit of it was filmed which resulted with laying on the beach trying to have a read and to be interrupted every few minutes by renditions of 'dancing queen'' or 'Fernando' by wanna be Marias (not all female either !).

See The Mist is on at midnight on Saturday. Thought that was good'un.

No probs.

If you want the truly epic, see if you can find the Soviet 1968 (I think), not the 1958 version of War and Peace. I think one of the battle scenes lasts for 45 minutes and had a cast of 120,000 extras. Cost something like $700m in todays money.

Some others that you've already probably seen - Stalingrad, Life is Beautiful, Europa Europa, Yamato.

Re-watched Man from Earth today and that's bloody brilliant if you don't mind films being set entirely in one place and involve no action whatsoever. Great film though.

Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee was alright. Its like the Office vs Spinal Tap but nowhere near as good as either. Some good characters and a decent story, but I can't help  think that if they'd spent a bit more money on it, and taken a little longer than a week to film it, it could have been really good. Considering Meadows and Considine teaming up in stuff like Dead Mans Shoes it was a bit of a let down.

Not my usual cup of Sunday tea but it was an ok watch without any male buggery, which is always a bonus unless that way inclined.

Decent acting all round and an interesting story but I wouldn't say it was hugely powerful or moving even for the uphill mowers.  Worth a watch I suppose but there's far more intersting and powerful true stories out there 6/10

I watched Looking for Eric or whatever it's called with Spy a few weeks ago, can't be arsed to look back to see if he's mentioned it. It felt like it was petering out a bit with the secondary story thread after half way through but it comes together nicely.

It has a nice British film feel without being too 'cosy' and minus the Curtis-ey English for America feel that some films suffer from. Cantona helps because he is ace.

Irreversible is an absolutely terrible film in my opinion, and if it wasn't for the infamous scene it would have gone pretty much unnoticed.  I mean the whole spinning thing for fuck sake - representing his decent into madness obviously but shit nonetheless - just made me feel ill.  Then at the end I was just about feeling normal, with a nice piece of classical music playing.....and the fucking spinning starts again!

Requiem For a Dream we got from Lovefilm recently because I remembered it being good, and now I'm not really sure why I liked it.

The most recent film I've enjoyed is Eastern Promise directed by David Cronenberg, about the Russian mafia in London. 8/10

I watched 'UP' in the week, its so very sad, I can't believe its a kids film! Mind you, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as I did at the scene when you first meet the dogs Alpha, Beta and Gamma, and they all stop mid-conversation and shout in unison, "squirrel!".

Also watched Misery night before last, very good film, winced at the hobbling though. Oh and I watched 'Tell No One' recently too, very good French thriller.

Role Models on Saturday, which was far better than expected.  Definately a easy to watch and funny comedy that comes recommended 7/10

Die Hard 4 on C4 last night, which was a first viewing and it was stupidly superb and better than than the sequel.  7/10

Watched Changeling last night on Sky, very watchable, 6.5/10. Decent performance from Angelina, even though she looked a bit odd with those big lips in 1920s dress

Also watched School of Rock with the kids, Jack Black was excellent, even if the storyline was a bit predictable and cheesy. Good laugh if nothing else

Going to see 2012 with my GF on Friday. Been looking forward to this! Another disaster film from the makers of independence day and the day after tomorrow. Looks to be about god warning us that the planet would implode, then it does.

W. - Saw this on Sky Movies, Documentry style film about George W Bush. Very good actually. Seems to move a bit fast in places especially when talking about September 11th etc. Focuses a lot on his religeous side and the falling outs with his dad.

Michael Jackson's This Is It - Cracking Film if your an MJ Fan, Enjoyed it however the subtitle "learn the man you never knew" really doesnt fit the film, there is limited content about MJ interacting/talking etc. with dancers, It's basically the This is It concerts and thats it but they did look as if it would be an awesome show. DVD apparently has 6 hours more footage. On the extended version DVD it is Also expected to have footage of the dancers preparing for rehearsals the day MJ died. His death is not mentioned at all on the film.

Cloverfield - Saw this for the first time over the weekend, thought this was very good despite being a sci-fi sort of film, reminded me a bit of I am legend in terms of NYC being destroyed. Rumoured sequal coming.

No one wants to see a guys cock swinging around talking etc.and gay sex toys for 2 hours.  How it ever got into a cinema I will never know. Absolutely disgusting and pointless film.

Yeah the humour isn't very clever is it? When I re-watched some the other day I hardly found any of it funny. It's mostly just him prancing around being like "I'm so gay and outrageous".

If you go on to youtube and watch the Bruno clips that were in the Ali G TV show before the they are much, much funnier.

I still maintain the bit in the film where he's on the chat show with the baby is well funny tho.

Gomorrah was decent. Like an Italian City of God but not quite as good, though maybe thats because it has more truth to it. Could have done with a bit more action and a little less story though.

I have watched Twilight. It is crap. It is not dark. The main vampire is a 'vegetarian' (doesn't want to drink human blood). Infact there is hardly any blood or violence in it at all. It is the most sanitised vampire thing ever, albeit with high production values. Oh yeah and some of the dialogue is laughable.

The poster for the new film with a group of guys with their tops off looks more like JLS or something than a vampire film.

Changing the tone of 181 pages to future films for a second, I just noticed that Steven Spielberg's 2011 Tintin blockbuster looks like it's shaping up to be a bit of a film wet dream.

Steven Moffat writing the initial script (which I knew anyay). Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish doing rewrites (when moff had to concentrate on Who). Pegg and Frost playing Thompson and Thompson.

The only way it could get better is if the pencil in Charlie Brooker to do an angry dvd commentary.

Love that film. After I saw Dark Knight I wasn't sure which I liked better, that one or the original Tim Burton one. Still not totally sure. Probably Dark Knight but the ridiculously gravelly voice they gave Batman in that is still stupid.

I assumed the ending was to signify the relationship of Albania and France in the future between the generations of new, compared to those of old. Not sure the two sons really knew much of each other before but who knows.

The book is really good and far, far better, if you can get yourself over Dan Brown and his weak clunky writing. He's the Michael Bay of books. Potentially good storylines ruined by the director.

Crash is on at the moment. I think it's the fifth time i've seen it. It's rare that i really, truly love a film, but it's truly, truly epic. It's an absolute tour da force of film, poignant and unlifting. I really forget how good it is, it's a fucking masterpiece.

Watched a few films this weekend...

Midnight Cowboy - Superb, I'm a big movie fan but sometimes I struggle with the acclaimed, gritty post-Hays code movies. But Voight and Hoffman are truly brilliant in Midnight Cowboy. Brilliant direction by the late John Schlesinger.

Flags of our Fathers - A film directed by Clint Eastwood always tends to be interesting and I liked Flags... a lot. You take U.S. history lessons via Hollywood with a pinch of salt but we know the Yanks had to exploit "heroes" and Eastwood shows the absurdness of the politics of war really well.

King of Comedy - Enjoyed, not Scorsese's greatest but still a good little stalker movie with some funny moments. Good performance from Jerry Lewis too.

With regards to Crash, i didn't like it the first time i watched it, but then grew to love it.

Watched The Hangover today (decided to download about 6 films when i went to bed last night). I started watching it when dropping the kids off this morning and finished earlier. I thought it was gash, but then i was told it was hilarious. Reminded me of Fear and Loathing, just more teenage-ified. And what the fuck was the old girl sucking the bearded blokes cock all about in the credits?! You see a hard cock and you see it being sucked?! Are censors being more tolerant?

I didn't think the hangover was very good either. Typical "wacky" crap american comedy. You can imagine it being watched by immature college kids chugging kegs of piss weak bud light. ::) As they sort of comedies go it wasn't the worst ever but that's not saying much cos the standard is fucking low.

I don't know much about that picture, I watched the Hangover at the cinema, I saw the candid montage in the end credits but I imagine that didn't make the cut in the cinemas - I can't remember that.

The bearded chap is Zach Galifianakis, who is by trade a fine stand-up comedian.

Yeah, i think it must be an uncut version, because that's obviously not the kind of material you'd get in a 15 cert.

He's probably the only redeeming feature of that film. To think my sister was going to buy this film for my Mum for Christmas to watch as a family... I think i would have curled up into a little ball had i had to look at photos of a blwojob with my family.

I saw it in the cinema in America, and the picture was most definitely in the credits over there. It made me think that it was not too long ago that you could only see that kind of stuff in hardcore porn, definitely not mainstream cinema. I worked at a summer camp and there were 11 year olds who'd seen the Hangover and Pineapple Express, not something I'd be keen on letting my kids watch at that age.

Also they have a different rating system over there, so after over an hour watching Bruno, with cocks being swung around and champagne bottles inserted up anuses, as i got up to leave there was a family of four sat a few rows behind us, two kids around 15 years old and elderlyish parents. If I'd seen that with my Mum and Dad I would have died of embarrassment.

 - I wouldn't want to watch it in 2d, would be utterly pointless
 - There was a little pitter patter of applause at the end, something I havent heard in ages
 - The storyline is a little dross but you get compelety immersed in the effects and 3d...
 - on the whole is a very worthwhile viewing, solely for the 3d experience..

Does anyone remember years ago, when before the film started the curtains closed (after a cartoon or something) and then reopened with the main event and everyone used to clap. Them were the days.

What a good idea it would've been to keep an old screen running at the Savoy and you pay to sit in a bar cum cinema and have a few beers and a chat while watching full screen movies.

Yocal adverts too. In Ciren we got The Jewel In the Crown Indian and Clive Ranger rings.

Nationally - "lick me, bite me, any way you want me, as long as you love me it's alright". The King Cone ad. Then Neil Godwin had to come in with the ice cream tray before the main feature started.

I've managed to get through some films recently. Inglorious Bastards is pretty good. It's strange and familiar for a Tarintino film; I think the characters are as good as or better than he's ever done, but the structure of the film seems a bit too discrete. I haven't got a problem with the jumping about screenplay, but it seems like he tried to write this as a proper continuous film and then couldn't quite work it out. Dunno. Maybe I'm picking holes. It was good anyway.

I watched some iraq film which name I can't remember. The Pain Box or something. Started of well went nowhere.

District 9 is pretty ace. Well the first half. All over the top comedy brilliance with the main character basically being Murray from FOTC, then it all goes a bit wrong, and long.

Think that's all I've watched anyway.

I finally saw Knowing with Nicholas "King of the Hill" Cage this week.  Utter, utter horse shit of the highest order.  It's like a poor man's Dan Brown novel and that's saying something.

Silly ending, predictably with bloody aliens which are again shit.  Horrible undertones about saving the planet, which made me want to pour bleach down my Asian eye.

0.5/10

I thought the first 20 minutes were good, then it just became incredibly farcical.

I recently watched Rocky V, to remind myself how bad it was and get the shit one out of the way before I watch the others. It was actually worse than I remembered.

Watched Boys N The Hood again last night. Despite being a but ropey on the soundtrack side of things (which I'd never noticed before) I forgot how good the film is. I think the violence is done incredibly well, definitely not done to sex up the film nor feature throughout its entirety.

District 9 on Blu-Ray last night. Thought it was good, certainly brings a new concept to alien films. Thought the storyline was a bit weak and would've liked to have seen more of the back story, but still a very worthwhile watch. The potential's there for a sequel though I suppose.

I watched a couple of films over Xmas.

Taken
A bit OTT in places, but still quite enjoyable.

Ghost Town
Quite enjoyed this actually after hearing mixed reviews. Not brilliant, but not bad.

In Bruges
Was OK, again not brilliant. It did get annoying how every five minutes Colin Farrell would just keep repeating what a shithole Bruges was.

Tropic Thunder
Load of shite, turned if off after 30 mins

Mercury Rising
see above

The problem with perfect storm is that it is based on fact, but the only known facts seem to be they went out in a boat, there was a big storm, they didn't come back. Hard to stretch that to over an hour and a half.

A friend kept telling me Tropic Thunder was funny. So I borrowed it and it wasn't. I fell asleep watching it.

So anyway now Jonathan Ross is dead to the BBC, can I do the Film 2010 reviews.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm partial to the odd foreign film myself (Not top shelf) but he seems to dislike films on the basis of how much the public like them, ie: if there's big attendences they're shit, if no ones ever heard of them, they're good.

for the record "you've got mail" was a suggestion for a bad tom hanks film, and Miss Conginiality 2 was a joke.

Hanks is phenomenal though, the Terminal was quality.

Though not a patch on the likes of daniel day lewis, the guy is a chameleon. Him, and john hurt are just incredible actors. I love watching them, every little twitch of their face tells a new story.

Oh and Michael Fassbander (perhaps?) is a newish actor that I think is incredible. He was in inglorious bastards and hunger, two great movies etc.

Castaway got loads of stick.  For me, its one of the best acting performances for years.  For over an hour of the film, it is just Tom Hanks.  The only other character is a volleyball.  To be able to do that convincingly and movingly is, in my view, worthy of serious accolade.

I like Castaway.

Have you seen 'Moon', Billy Shears?

It deserves another plug because Sam Rockwell is pretty much the only actor in the whole film and does an incredible job. Really good film, probably better than Castaway in that respect.

Aye, 'tis a good film.

Been watching some somewhat random war films the past few days. The Russian film The 9th Company about their invasion of Afghanistan was very good as was the Italian one El Alamein. Remember someone on here liked war films so those two are well worth a watch.

Word.

He even manages to bring Wilson (the volleyball) to life to some extent.

'Catch me if you can' is another great movie. Tom Hanks is so adaptable, I think he is superb.

There will be blood, contains the biggest piece of ham since Babe, vastly over rated imo. I thought Zohan was good. Just watched him in Bedtime Stories which was decent enough also. Best film i've seen recently was "I love you man" Normally american film comedies to me are disappointing, but this one was pretty funny.

Next LoveFilm is Man on the Moon - I've seen it a couple of times before but the missus hasn't seen it.

Tis one of Jim Carrey's best efforts. I'm interested in the era of stand-up comedy that Andy Kaufman was involved in. Love him or hate him, he was a pioneer of comedy.


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Doore on Monday, January 11, 2010, 20:57:05
I've not seen it for a while, but Man on the Moon is a terrific performance from Carrey.

Carrey really bugs me - obviously a talented actor (see Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine, The Truman Show and, yes, The Cable Guy) - but makes some awful choices (see particularly The Number 23).  He should really have made more genuinely good films by now.


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Rich Pullen on Monday, January 11, 2010, 21:07:05
I maintain that The Cable Guy is a good film. Carrey was paid way too much for it though ($20 million).

Ben Stiller did a good job directing, the script is more than adequate (and it was an early work of Judd Apatow too) - it got too much press and hype but it wasn't the film the majority expected it to be. It's a good black comedy.

The whole alien thing at the end was very daft with the kids running through the field. I would have ended the film end with Nicolas Cage and the bird stood out on the street in New York with his son and her daughter looking as the fire comes closer to them, and the kids whisper “the voices were right”……. and then the fire engulfs the screen and the screen just goes black and the credits role as if “everyone else” actually did die. Would have ended the film a lot better than the stupid ending they had.

Avatar was pretty amazing. Just an awesome visual experience. Worth the money. This is the first of the modern wave of 3D films I've seen and it wasn't just a gimmick. For some films it can definitely add something to the experience. It wouldn't be necessary for everything to come out in 3D tho.

This film probably does represent some kind of landmark in visuals. Like Jurrasic Park or The Matrix.

This is one of my top 3 films of all time. Its a bloody long film which seems to go nowhere for the first 30 - 45 minutes but builds up the charachters well. Its one of those films I think about for a few days after I've seen it. Great script, great acting. Classic.

basicly a futuristic film where some dude has developed a first person computer game but you actualy control humans in a real life environment, basicly civs pay to take convicts on death row and such through 30 odd levels of a FPS and if they make it all the way througth they get set free.

Weekend films...

In glorious basterds - each individual chapters varying from good to brilliant, some of them (1st one and the bar one) are real sweaty palm stuff. Film as a whole, pretty good.

Moon - Intersting, if not fantastic - pretty good.

Hurtlocker - sames comments as basterd really, lots of great indiviual chapters, but didnt quite come together as a film for me, more like a brilliantly directed docu drama. Maybe that was the idea.

Due South's moment of glory was when they replaced the actor who played his detective sidekick.

Not strictly a film but...

I do a lot of reading on my train commute to bath each day, and have just finished 'the Life of Pi'.

One of the best books I read in a long time...if you do check it out, stick with it, the early chapters are a little heavy.


Saw 'creation' over the weekend. I am not sure there was really a dramatic enough story to tell there in the first place, and they were clutching at straws a little for drama and interest points. However, some poignant moments.

Jennifer connolly on the other hand. Oh yes.

I found out afterwards she is married to Paul Bettanry, the lucky sod.

Thanks for your thrilling feedback. I shall certainly sleep easier knowing that your opinion is vastly superior to my, quite frankly pathetic and inferior one.

I guess in future I will know that any film that has 13 academy award nominations, will probably be shit, and I shall save myself the bother of not watching.

I like it there - I have a nice arse. 

I'm also right - Benjamin Button is a poor film, and judging a film primarily on its length before even watching it seems a pretty poor criteria to me.

OK - in my opinion, it is a poor film, but of course some people may feel differently, so I am not right, merely expressing an opinion.  There is also a perfectly valid reasoning for not watching certain films as they are a few minutes longer than other films - this is also a perfectly valid opinion.

My Mrs thinks flowers and curtains are important - she is not wrong, but expressing an opinion.

I was disappointed by Watchmen too. Didn't think it'd be brilliant, but didn't think it would be that convuluted and boring either.

Watched Adventureland yesterday. Not quite sure what I think of it. It was a bit different plotwise. It was marketed as a comedy but even in terms of subtle quirkier comedies (eg Napoleon Dynamite, Eagle vs. Shark) there weren't really any laughs. Think of it as more of an off-key relationship drama. Overall I'd say I'd rate it below average. A better sense of humour wouldn't have gone amiss and the ending was weak.

yes I watched it all. for a film with extremely limited cast or settings to be good it has to be really good (ie The Cube). This wasn't good enough by miles... and so the fact there's hardly any characters was probably a big factor in it being boring.

Also whilst the look of the film (retro 70s sci-fi) was something I found interesting and liked a bit, ultimately the fact it was all greys meant it was visually mundane.

What did you like about it?  ???

Precious - read the book first - its was horrific but strangley uplifting - the film is good but my advice would be to read the book first
Couples retreat - meh! whiled away some time
The Queen - randomly Id never watched this and needed a Michael Shhen fix
This is it - Wow that would have been one hell of a show!
a film with Rennee Zellwegger based on that mans life that was in Im a celebrity????

:) Likewise. Took my 7-year old to see "Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief" yesterday (toyed with Alice but it looked a bit dark) and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure whether it'd be much cop without the kid in tow, but as a choice to take the kids to, it was great. Also helped that he's a bit of a Greek myths buff so that added to the attraction, but not necessary to enjoy the film

I've watched a few films recently:

First up was The Hurricane not nearly as good as I remembered it to be. Still, it was mildly engrossing, even if the story was very very loosely based on the truth.

I also watched 1984 which I've wanted to watch for a while. Not nearly as good as the book and in fact had I not read the book many years ago I'd have probably been utterly confused.

Yesterday night I watched Slap Shot which I found quite amusing in places. An easy watch and I don't really know too much about Ice Hockey but enjoyed it all the same.

I thought Alice in Wonderland was good. Flawed but good.

Good points - visuals, characters, voice acting by the brits

Bad points - mad hatter (the accent, that fucking dance!!), feminist empowerment ending that doesn't fully sit well, generic battle at end

The first 30-45 mins is superb.

Following on from that I'd say the 3D also doesn't add much. The 3D isn't as good as in Avatar, probably because Avatar was shot with 3D camera whereas Alice was shot with normal cameras and converted to 3D afterwards.

If you see Alice in 2D you won't be missing out on much.

Tonight i'm watching 'Law Abiding Citizen' starring Gerard Butler.

The trailer looks great. It's a classic revenge movie. 2 guys break in his home and kill his daugther and wife and leave him badly injured. One of the guys goes to death row for it but the other only gets 10 years after cutting a deal with the DA.

He sets about his revenge on the two killers and the DA who gave one of them a light sentence.

It's a good special effects sci-fi romp and they managed to avoid the 'Old-Spock' appearance coming across as a pointless cameo.

It's still no Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but still better than most the old star trek films.

Did you see the review?  :D

Quote
I wholeheartedly agree with the other comments. This film was BRILLIANT! The combination of Anthony Montgomery (Postmaster P), Rashaan Nall (Stray Bullet), and Red Grant (Butch) is stunning! I had no problem believing they were rappers on the brink of making it big. And how great was it to see such a message of positivity? I'll never know why the academy screwed Ice-T out of an Oscar for his performance as Mack Daddy. We shouldn't even mention the magnificent Warwick Davis returning to his role as the Leprechaun. His work was so stunning in this film, I was reduced to tears. In what other movie can you see an evil Leprechaun rap while being surrounded by his green zombie minions? While he was a "Lep in the Hood, come to do no good", this film was far from bad. Okay, I can't do that any more. Want to see a movie so bad you can feel your soul being polluted? Watch Leprechaun in the Hood. If you need a reason to hate yourself, a reason to want to do yourself bodily harm, or a reason to go completely insane with no hope of recovery, watch Leprechaun in the Hood. You'll be a much worse person for it. Believe me.

Step Brothers is absolutely terrible.  Saw Alice in Wonderland in 3d today.  Not Tim Burton's finest effort but a solid 6 out of 10.  Johnny Depp is a terrific actor and always worth watching.

Anyway, for anybody who hasn't seen it, it was pretty good. Reminded me of the Beatty/Dunaway Bonnie and Clyde in some ways, or alternatively Badlands if you want a newer comparison.

A bit like something the brain of Charlie Kaufman would conjure up but instead of doing it himself he's given the idea to someone else who isn't quite as weird as him! Which isn't a bad thing. Will Ferrell is great in a non-whacky role.

I generally think comedy series on UK TV like Alan Partridge and the Office are a million times funnier than any american comedy film but there are a few exceptions. Swingers is one of them. Another would probably be Spinal Tap. There are very few decent comedy films for some reason.

It's annoying that companys keep tacking on 3D to their films. If they are gonna release 3D then they should take their lead from Avatar which showed how effectively it can be done and use 3D cameras. Adding 3D in post production is a quicker and cheaper way of doing it but crap in comparison. James Cameron was talking about this recently.

I would recommend that James Cameron puts the 3-D camera down, pick up a pen instead and write a decent bloomin' script. I'm not thick - pretty pictures will not hide a shoddy story.

3-D doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I think everything is going too much towards 3D and those increased tickets prices. I don't want everything to be in 3D.

clocked up a few recently

Rendition - pretty good, not brilliant, better than average

Curious case of Benjamin Button - cant honestly say that I saw the point of the film. Story was ridiculous really, the fact that very few people seemed to notice what was going on, and even if they did failed to find it strange sort of made it even more ridiculous.

Angels & Demons - an OK adaption of an OK book, but suspect that if you haven't read the book you would find it impossible to follow what is going on.

Revolutionary Road - OK. Nothing more, nothing less.

Saw 2012 over the weekend, makes 'The day after tomorrow' look intellectually stimulating.

Unbelievably shite, but amazing graphics.
Every single aspect of this film was stolen from some other film and stitched together into 2 1/2 hrs of sentimental cheesy, corny, action packed drivel.

I loved it.

The last time you came on a Loud and Proud bus your face was smeared all over the window when we got back to the CG. Window Licking was an understatement.

Watched the remake of The Firm last night. Didn't like the original that much but thought the remake was really good. Might have to rewatch the original as it was years ago I watched it. The kept the scene where Bex gets out his bag of tools before the final fight.

I am accustomed to seeing lots of violence in films but there's one particularly mental bit where the ICF make a surprise attack on Millwalls pub and straight away Millwall come out armed to the teeth and lay into them. The truly shocking bit tho was where Bex's little kid is playing with his stanley knife.

Watched remake of Nightmare on Elm Street tonight.  Story is pretty much as original except that it goes more into Freddy Kreuger life before he's burnt and what his link is with the kids when they were at Pre-School.

Downers: Although the new Freddy is more sinister the face of Freddy isn't anywhere as good as the original. Jackie Earle Haley does a good job playing Krueger though.

I would give it 6.5 out of 10.  Good effort with the extras about Freddys past but unfortunately rest of film is pretty much same as original.

Where the wild things are was a bit crap.Some mildly good moments,like the monster pile,made me smile.But its weird and i'm not sure if kids would like it let alone an old crone like me.

The men who stare at goats was also a bit crap.There was too much Clooney and McGregor and not enough Bridges and Spacey for my liking.The goats were a plus point though.

Ultra.A film about Italian hooligans from 1991!!!Its awful but thats probably why i found it amusing.

Best of the bunch by a long way was Nowhere boy.Really moving film with suberb actors.
The bonus is the lad who plays Lennon is absolutely georgeous.Swoon  :-[

I saw the new Predators film last night. Absolutely shits all over Predator 2 and is equally good as the first if not better.  Anyone who writes this film off without watching it is missing out.

The plot is set where a group of mercenaries & convicts are all parachuted into a forest however they have no recollection of how they got their and soon realise the jungle there in, isn't planet earth and that there the ones being hunted.  Great film good twist and they did a really good job on the predators.

Lawrence Fishbourne's appearance is very brief

Right, part 27 in an ongoing series

Shrek Forever after today.

Put this franchise out of its misery.  What else can they do.  Extremely average and the kids went for 2 pisses.  That shows how little interest they had.  The 3d was average, scenes in it were purely 'lets have a chase scene as its 3d' type of scenes.

Hoping for much better from Toy Story 3.

Watched Toy Story 3 a few weeks ago. Properly good. I can't remember exactly how good the other 2 were, but do remember being blown away by the first and thinking the second was even better.

On a Shrek note, only the first one was good wasn't it? I remember loving the first, and being bored by the third. Don't recall the second though.

Oh my god what a complete load of Up their own arse American twats talking about relationships in the way that only American twats can. Was supposed to be funny, but the only giggle that passed my lips the whole 2 hours was when my wife missed her mouth with her drink.

There's chick flicks and then there's films that seem to suck the testosterone out of your body as you watch, desperately clinging to the thought of watching some porn when shes gone to bed just to make sure you are still alive and its still worth living

So no, I wouldn't recomend this one.

Rocky I & II were the best.

Rocky V was also good.

Rocky III & IV were entertaining, in a brain-dead kind of way.

Rocky VI was about as believable as something that's not believable at all (Although I enjoyed it!)

Best two boxing films I've seen are Raging Bull and Somebody Up There Likes Me, a 50's film starring Paul Newman as the real-life boxer Rocky Graziano.

ATeam- Really enjoyed this,far fetched to fuck but what do you expect from a ATeam film.

Karate Kit-Piss Poor

Shutter Island- Took too long to get into it and still a headfuck of a film now

I don't know if it's just because it is Scorsese or because people really think it is that good. I didn't hate it, just very underwhelmed. Maybe a marmite film?

It was quite similar to The Wicker Man really, just not as good. I would say why but it'd only give the story away for those wanting to watch Shutter Island.

The Lovely Bones started well but then turned a bit crap with all the sci-fi-ish 'inbetween' bits, and I couldn't finish watching it.

City By The Sea was awesome though, DeNiro as good as ever.

I thought The Lovely Bones was good - guess it depends if you have read the book or not as to whether you enjoy the film.

I also watched The Road last night and Men who stare at donkeys on Saturday. Both were average at best.

Last week I also watched the first of the Millenium trilogy; very loyal to the book and the DVD even has english audio (at the cinema it was all Swedish with subtitles).

Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, July 26, 2010, 23:13:52
I didn't think The Wave was awful, just that the film was based on autocracy with the teacher being the supposed person in power. But he actually had little power throughout the film as the kids took on their own mad ideas.

It was also very unbelievable as the whole thing took place in a week, it seemed much longer in the film and that would have probably made it believable. It was an interesting idea but it didn't work for me. I suppose I am being a little too unfair on the obvious microcosm and wouldn't necessarily dissuade anyone from watching it, just don't expect a hard hitting film with a point which will really make you think.

Tonight I watched District 13 a French action thriller which had a lot of Parkour and martial-arts type stuff in it. Quite an enjoyable watch, it seemed like a martial arts film with a bit more budget. The storyline and acting weren't amazing, though not unbelievable, but the action and frantic pace made it a decent watch and kept the film flowing all the way through.

So t'o continue my regular series on childrens films, Toy Story 3 (in 2d bollocks to the gimicky 3d shit - especially when the glasses dont fit on kids so they never wear them)

As good as the others, never been the biggest fan but can see why some are.  A good story, with good jokes and the requisite bit to make the grown ups cry.  Kids did not go to the toilet once during the film (well they didn't leave to the cinema to do so and didn't smell too bad so I presume they didn't) so thats a good indication that they were engrossed.

I went to see Inception tonight (and actually did watch it).

A clever film, perhaps too clever for its own good. It took such a long time to create and unravel the complexities within the film that I can't say I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.

I know lots of people saying a second viewing would be preferable to piece everything together, so perhaps my brain worked a bit too hard to work out what was happening and not relaxing enough to enjoy the film at face value. Aside from the intentionally ambiguous ending which is not designed to have a definitive answer, I think once you break everything down it's actually surprisingly easy to understand what happened.

Overall I'm glad I watched it in so far as I probably won't watch a film like it and it the suspense of the films climax and how it was all brought together was very well thought out. But it wouldn't touch my top films of all time, or even from the last 10 years. I'll score it a commendable 7/10.

Watched the A-Team  at the weekend. A pretty good take on things in my book, its generally got the feeing of the original series. And we get to see the crime they did not commit! Its never going to be film of the year, but its worth a take your brain out watch if you were a 'fan' of the series.

I went to see Inception tonight (and actually did watch it).

A clever film, perhaps too clever for its own good. It took such a long time to create and unravel the complexities within the film that I can't say I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.

I know lots of people saying a second viewing would be preferable to piece everything together, so perhaps my brain worked a bit too hard to work out what was happening and not relaxing enough to enjoy the film at face value. Aside from the intentionally ambiguous ending which is not designed to have a definitive answer, I think once you break everything down it's actually surprisingly easy to understand what happened.

Overall I'm glad I watched it in so far as I probably won't watch a film like it and it the suspense of the films climax and how it was all brought together was very well thought out. But it wouldn't touch my top films of all time, or even from the last 10 years. I'll score it a commendable 7/10.

I enjoyed it for the reasons you were less enthusiastic.  Reminded me a little of Twelve Monkeys in style, although very different story lines.  A much better film than The Matrix.

I saw Inception at the Odeon Imax where the sound effects were extraordinary - I have never been in a cinema where the sound effects have been so realistic, e.g. when the truck crashes into the car and when the face smashes against the windowscreen. I would concur with the other posts - it's good but I'm not sure whether I want to see this a second time.

*below be spoilers*









I saw it. Typical Cohen brothers film - makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
Hollywood is a metaphor for hell. The hotel wasn't on fire, Barton walked almost straight through the flames - the characters only refer to it being hot - and Charlie represents the common man that Barton incessantly talks about but fails to listen to. Charlie frequently says that he has stories to tell but Barton simply isn't interested, he lives solely within his own head, for instance he can only recall that Charlie liked Jack Oakie films when the police detectives visited, not that he was in NYC potentially visiting Barton's family. This lack of external awareness could suggest that the latter half of the film is merely an extended dream sequence, culminating in the manifestation of the picture in his room at the Hotel Earle. You never see any other guests nor do you see inside any other rooms and Barton is in every single scene of the film. Again this reflects how Barton lives within his own mind.

I agree that it doesn't make a great deal of sense but it's the only Coen brothers film that is left open to any intepretation at all, aside from No Country perhaps.

The A-Team.

Mind numbing, American Action Film - Very true to the TV Show, some of the actions scenes are a little far fetched, Although any film where BA is told to " Man UP " must have a level of awersome-ness about it.

I loved every minute of it (although It might be more about reminding me of growing up watching it!!)

I've never "got" Kung Fu films. I forced myself to watch some Bruce Lee films, along with some supposedly very good ones, because my ex-flatmate had fucking hundreds of Kung Fu films and used to rave about them. I found them unwatchably dull. I had to finish one (it might be the one you mention above) in about 3 instalments because it was so dull. I do have good reason to believe I'm almost entirely alone in that opinion though! :)

I must admit I was pretty taken back by some of the graphics and I just watched the standard dvd on a 10 year old dvd player. No blue ray or 3D or anything.

I expect if you did watch it in 3d you'd spend too much time looking at things and not watch as much as the film. Im sure someone might have said something similar at the time.

Glengarry Glen Ross

"An all-male cast? Like Glengarry Glen Ross?"

That quote is from Zack and Miri make a porno, which features both Jason Mewes (or Jay as he's better known) and pornstar Katie Morgan, both of whom appeared in the film I watched tonight, Shoot the Hero. It was quite odd. Fight sequences were terribly shot, but some of the dialogue was good.

Based on knifey spoony's list of films being decent (any list that begins with Dead Mans Shoes is almost certainly onto a winner), I've got Glengarry Glen Ross to watch next.

Tonight though I saw 'Once Upon A Time In The Midlands'

[url width=300 height=300]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UxFRa4V9L._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/url]

...which is worth a go. Kathy Burke was brilliant. I think that completes Shane Meadows' films for me. This Is England '86 is on Channel 4 soon, a 4-part mini series based on the original film, done by Meadows and the bulk of the cast.

Watched Salt last night, bizarrely from a DVD Rip of excellent quality.

I enjoyed it a great deal. It was fairly predictable, but a good killer of an hour and a half. The plot made me think of a good Forsyth novel (although not executed as well) and as I think Forsyth is god, it was not hard for me to enjoy it.

Just watched Cracks. I thought it was great. It was one of those films where it's about great acting and the changing emotions of the characters and their relationships with each other.

It is a bit arty but I guess what I mostly mean by that is it isn't hollywood (or doesn't feel hollywood anyway). It is accessible and I didn't find it boring.

It's the directorial debut of Jordan Scott, the daughter of Ridley Scott who did Alien, Blade Runner and more recently Robin Hood.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183665/

I'm surprised it only has 37% on rotten tomatoes. It's much better than that imo.

Yeah not nearly as good as the bigger titles, but still worth a go for the excellent lead performances, especially Kathy Burke and Rhys Ifans. Its a slightly soppy storyline, good for watching with another half.

I rewatched Cemetery Junction and its not often a film makes me laugh out loud lots, and also cry, but that does it. Proper film-making, proper story, and blinding performances from every single actor and actress in it.

Also Frozen River, a good independent american effort about people smuggling, a family struggling to get by, and tensions between native and non-native americans.

Just watched Cemetary Junction and was quite disappointed really. It's alright but I found it cliched and to be honest offered me nothing new from British cinema, which is the massive disappointment of it for me. Ultimately, nothing surprised me. It's charming but forgettable.

I think I'll give the film another watch, there are without doubt funny moments from this and it's good to see Gervais and Merchant branch out and do an okay piece of work but I think they're victims of their own high standards (or my high standards towards them!).

They probably will because the film industry will demand it - due to the sack load of cash the first took at the box office.

Watched Get him to The Greek earlier. I really enjoyed it and had some proper belly laughs. Recommended. Oh and P Diddy is surprisingly fucking ace - all the characters were in fact.

You can't out run me!

I wached The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard the other day. Thought it was really funny.

I'd never seen it, or heard of it but someone (I think it was Mr. Youth) posted about it in here - then a few days later I saw it was on film4.

Sky+ed it and only just got round to watching it.

Lost Boys Part III on it's way - straight to DVD effort.

I love the original (maggots Michael you're eating maggots) and despite the 2nd being a steaming pile of shit it was worth it for a nostalgic trip down memory lane as Feldman reprised his role as Edgar Frog.  Third effort is supposed to be a lot better.  Still a B movie effort but includes the other Frog brother Jason Newlander and cuts back to the original.

On more recent efforts finally saw District 9 last week.  Not bad at all although I was disappointed that they didn’t show any of the inter-species sex scenes they referred to.

I've watched a few films recently, the first being Paranormal Activity. It's one of those films where nothing happens for the majority of the film. I did find it creepy, but I was more bothered about why the characters would sleep with the door open, especially with what was happening throughout. The wank I had afterward was far more exciting - that bird has a cracking rack on her.

Next up I watched The Pursuit of Happyness which was sentimental drama stuff but I quite liked it. Smith was decent in a serious role again.

Finally I watched Public Enemies last night. More of an action film than I expected but was entertaining. I thought it would have been better to play off Bale and Depp's characters a bit more in the cat and mouse chase. Whilst it was entertaining, it can't touch the class of The Untouchables.

Bad Lieutenant was pretty good, but I didn't get what happened at the very end. Did the reformed ex prisoner bloke save him? I watched it in 3 goes, which may have spoiled the whole thing a little. Herzog's documentaries are superb and others have said that this film was great.

Nicholas Cage was brilliant, which is a rare thing to be able to say.

Watched From Paris with Love last night. I don't think I was distracted or otherwise engaged during the film, but for most of it I had no idea who the characters were and what they did. Sure I picked up they were CIA or some bollocks and appeared to be carrying out something off the books, but I was left thinking what the fuck was that all about, once it came to end.

It was enjoyable, just empty feeling. Maybe it was just me because I rarely do one thing at once.

I've read the book, which is superb, and that is the only real reason why I've yet to watch the films, well that and the films being possibly wank in comparison. (I even have the trilogy...)

I remember watching The Firm some years back after being told it was good. The Firm is one of the best books I've read and I thought the film was a real let down, so tend to have little enthusiasm, beyond Harry Potter, for watching films based on books.

The Grisham one? The book is superb, but the film misses out so much of what made the book good it could be a completely different story.

Watched An American Werewolf in London last night.

Very good film. Keep clear of the moors!

Agreed. It isn't one of the Coen's more accessible films.

Yeah, the Grisham one. The amount missed out is shocking. I remember the film ending and thinking that they're only about half way through the book!

It's the same with The Runaway Jury. I read that and loved it - although many say it's very slow - and then watched the film and was annoyed by how they changed the subject matter from fags to guns and ruined all the clever little twists.

Everyone makes the coens out to be some sort of superstar geniuses, thats bollocks. Most of their films are written by the family guy manatees. Pretensious claptrap for people to 'get' just to seem better than other people

It's all subject to opinion and I can see why people would struggle to enjoy many Coen efforts. However, I would have to disagree with STFC dave on this one. They provide a much needed cinematic breath of fresh air the overwhelming majority of the time. Some of their stuff is mainstream and nowhere near pretentious either/

Blood Simple = Brilliant.
Raising Arizona = Very Good.
Miller's Crossing = Brilliant.
Barton Fink = Very Good.
The Hudsucker Proxy = Tanked but I loved it.
Fargo = Brilliant
The Big Lebowski = Brilliant
O, Brother Where Art Thous = Brilliant.
The Man Who Wasn't There = Very Good.

After that it's hit and miss. The Ladykillers was poor and I didn't like Intolerable Cruelty. No Country For Old Men was a return to form but Burn After Reading was so/so. A Serious Man was alright too.

Watched Studio 54 which was lame. Had it been a biopic about the club it would have been alright but the storyline was weak and cliched. A shit cast too - Mike Myers was okay but Ryan Phillippe, Breckin Meyer and Salma Hayek were all poor. If you want a great drama of 70's sleeze and excess, Boogie Nights remains the choice.

[url width=475 height=250]http://weblogs.variety.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/01/54_myers.jpg[/url]

Also caught Centurion which was alright but it would have been better if Neil Marshall focused a little bit more on the story than the gore, which was good but the film could've been much better.

[url width=590 height=300]http://thefilmstage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/centurion.jpg[/url]

Finally, went to the cinema and opted for Skyline, I'm a bit of a sucker for films like these but this one was a disappointment. Watchable with some decent moments but it didn't offer me anything new.

Assault on Precinct 13
No Country for Old Men

Kind of enjoyed both of these.

Assault on Precinct 13 isn't too taxing. Just a brain out kind of action film remake. Was never going to win awards but not dire.

No Country for Old Men I watched while knackered on a plane. But from what I remember it was really well done but with a slightly disappointing ending.


Out of the two I'd go for No Country for Old Men.

Going to the cinema a fair bit recently, so here's my version of Film 10.

London Boulevard - Ray Winstone should hang his head in shame, absolute wank.

Machete - Take your brain out before watching it, it's like loads of Tarantino scripts got mixed up and they made a film out of the result.

Megamind - Awesome.

I wasn't going to post this, as it might sound like I am up my own arse, but it's actually, the opposite. I think.

I don't see what there was to get about Inception. I saw no twist and no plot that required any real thinking. I must have missed some fundamental thing - my multi-tasking must be biting me on the arse again - because loads of people have said this and I, until now, have not voiced my puzzlement. I'll watch it again tonight and post my verdict tomorrow.

I'm the same Barry. Although I think due to my brain working overtime so I didn't miss anything is the reason I didn't think it was brilliant. The film deliberately tries to out-clever itself when really the plot is just based a simple idea.

Thought the action and suspense was decent enough though.

I get the whole point of the film and that, in principle, it's simple idea. It was more the sub-plots like Cobb bringing in his own projections and how Cobb & Saito 'got lost' and had to find each other that I found a bit more complex.

I bought Inception and watched it again. When I watched it at the cinema I certainly left feeling like I understood exactly what had gone on. Speaking to a few people and trying to explain things...little doubts creep across your mind.

Enjoyed it more the second time round but my perception of exactly what happened and the ending has not changed. I think this is probably why I liked it more the second time round, I was more comfortable simply watching the film without having to over-think everything (I was told I wouldn't want to miss any clues the first time round so I concentrated on too many finer details I think).

We could probably have a separate thread just for this film and it would probably go round in more circles than a political thread :D

Band of brothers was good, but imo there were too many characters, if that makes sense. I kept getting confused who was who. Only seen the first few episodes of the pacific this morning, but it doesn't seem to be as bad in that respect.

Went to see 127 Hours last night.  Not Boyle's greatest work but still a good watch, I think that fact it is a true story makes it more appealing.  The arm cutting scene wasn’t the nicest thing I’ve ever watched.

It did refresh my memory as to why I only go to the cinema about once every 5 years.  Overpriced, people constantly whispering, people looking at phones which then illuminates the area around them.  I'll stick to watching films at my gaff for the next few years.

Watched District 9 last night. It was £4 in Tesco on DVD so thought I'd give it a try.

Quite enjoyed it, won't spoil it too much but I did think the end was slightly predictable too early in the film. The writers did an excellent job of making you feel sympathy for both the lead character (who was a dick early on) and the aliens.

However the movies is crying out for a sequel, is there one in the pipeline?

Must agree that going to the Empire (Greenbridge) is becoming an increasingly crap experience. Add a lack of staff so queuing up in the popcorn queue to pay for your ticket as the ticket booths are shut (at peak time too) and the place is a shit heap ! It used to be Shaw Ridge that was the worst of Swindons cinema complexes but that seems to have switched around. All that aside still went to see The Tourist as it has Johnny Depp in it and filmed in Venice so the missus insisted. It got crap reviews but I thought it was reasonable if very light entertainment.

Just watched the second half of Funny Ha Ha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funny_ha_ha) on Film4. I'm a sucker for vaguely critically appreciated unknown films because I'm a pretentious cunt. But it really was quite good. Sort of like an understated peep show/the office but just straight characters and without the gimmicks.

recommended from what I caught, and I'll probably track it down so I can see the first half.

I was going to check, not being enough of an arnie aficionado to do it off the top of my head, but then I drank another glass of wine and forgot.

Actually I was going to say Twins. But then I couldn't remember if Arnie had big hair in that. If he doesn't the two girl twins certainly do, but then Danny DeVito has negative hair so it probably evens out.

My own thought processes baffle me sometimes.

Yep, just been to see it, superb.  I thought I wouldnt be able to put up with it and it would seem like 127 hours, but it certainly didnt.  The main blokey was really, really good.  Oscar worthy.  He seemed like one of those irritating twats from the pepsi max ads, but I really admired him by the end.

In my opinion probably Boyles best film.

Downloaded four lions earlier (which I have seen before), and citizen kane earlier (which I haven't seen before). I'm not really in the mood for anything too complicated, so will probably watch citizen kane some other time.

Also, because I cannot find the TV thread I will say it here. I implore all of you to watch a TV show called community. It's not an exaggeration to say it is the funniest american sitcom, second only to arrested development. And that is nothing to be ashamed about. You're only missing out by not watching, it's easy enough to find on the internet

Great film,

About 5 minutes after the gory bit, someone in the cinema decided to collapse in a heap in the aisle, so they had to stop the film, put the lights on and wait until an ambulance was called.

I didn't think the gory bit was that bad at all, maybe because of the circumstance, as it was necessity rather than just pain infliction (like Saw, for example)
I actually sat glued to the screen while it was happening and thought it was brilliantly done without being overly gory.

In many ways it's your normal eccentric family falls apart movie but it's held together thanks to a strong script.

Watched Thumbsucker which was a decent enough drama with some good scenes, perhaps for a required taste.

Finally managed to watch The King's Speech and I really enjoyed it. I think Tom Hooper has a good directing career ahead of him. I liked The Damned United and loved John Adams and this was a simple yet brilliantly executed drama which was also really quite funny in places too.

Watched the room after. Without doubt the worst film i've ever seen, but also the funniest. 100 minutes of the sort of stuff garth marenghi's dark place parodys. Haven't lAaughed so hard in ages

It's brilliant, isn't it? $6m well spent.

Give it a spin, you never know. To be honest, I can't remember much about Schmucks or Grown Ups now which doesn't bode well for either film.

Well I bit the bullet and watched it last night, it, it, it's.......Awsome. Completely and utterly bonkers, god knows how the script got the green light, but i'm glad it did. Not your typical american comedy (thank god), but the irreverant humour was right up my street. Right I'm off to look for the other half's naughty purse...

just watched There Will Be Blood, really good film, wasnt sure what to expect before watching it but it was very good, although funnily enough not much blood  :hmmm: although i suppose the title doesnt say how much blood there will be!

Also watched In Bruges again yesterday, really good film, i only noticed all the judgement day bits this time, didnt catch them the first time i watched it a few years ago

I've gone through the following this week:

True Grit
127 Hours
The Fighter
Easy A
The Other Guys

True Grit was brilliant, as was 127 hours. Didn't really like The Fighter, and the boxing scenes annoyed the hell out of me. Don't know why i was given Easy A, it was terrible, and the Other Guys was alright. Better than Step Brothers and other recent Will Ferrell shit.

Watched Perriers Bounty last night. Was expecting a comedy in the vein of In Bruges, has some very good dark humour but essentially an Irish Gangster film. Jim Broadbent is good, and the eponymous Perrier, the superb Brendon Gleeson gives a pretty small but good performance. 7/10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF-DDka0cT4

Also watched Takers with Idris Elba and Matt Dillon among others... It's a brainless heist move which is watchable but ruined by some shit casting choices.... T.I. and Chris Brown are your typical singers/actors while Hayden Christensen is dire... Despite getting the best 'badass' scene.

The Green Hornet. Whoever cast Seth Rogen should be shot, he's appalling. Would have been much better with literally anyone else. 3/10

Due Date. Hmm, decribed as a comedy which is pushing it, unless masturbating dogs is your cup of tea. Works better if approached before watching as a road movie with the odd funny bit 4/10

i watched Leon (Leon: the professional) last night, it was a good film but i felt uncomfortable with the relationship between Leon and matilda; i'm not sure if any of you have seen it but the relationship was very odd, one would think that between a man and a girl of 14 years old it would be more like father and daughter, but there was a very weird undertone to the relationship with matilda saying she loved Leon and wanted to lose her virginity to him (!), apparently in the original script they actually did do it, but there was so much discomfort with it that they changed the script. So all in all i enjoyed the film but would have done so a lot more had the relationship between them been different, or not had such a large role.

I hope some of you have seen it otherwise i've just wittered on for ages :)

It's been quite a while since I've seen it. But I think it's a stronger film for the complexity of their relationship.

In the context of a girl who's having to grow up enough to deal with issues of death, killing and revenge, it would seem a bit strange to keep her completely childlike in other ways.

Possibly.

e: also I don't think that films making you feel uneasy is particularly bad thing. Everybody accepts being scared or laughing but why dislike film because it evokes other emotions?

How the can put in the credits that they wrote the screenplay is beyond me, the thing is almost an exact copy of the John Wayne original, only not as good.

Because they did write it, and it isn't anything like an exact copy of the Hathaway version. The script is actually really quite different. Obviously they share the same plot, as they're based on the same novel, but the new one is a lot closer to it than the old one, featuring a voiceover narrative from the adult Mattie Ross like the book does. 

It's not a shot by shot remake by a any description, not even a scene by scene remake. I mean there's a sequel to the original film (Rooster Cogburn), and the blokes dead at the end of the new one for fucks sake!

I watched the Banksy film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, last night.

It was very good, not really about Banksy (I think he edited it and appears in a few short, but revealing, interviews during the film). Instead it focuses on the slightly crazy but likeable French obsessive who had been filming every moment of his life since he picked up a video camera (the reason for this is explained, quite tragic and I won't spoil it), then accidentally stumbled upon the explosion of street art (he followed the space invader guy and then OBEY) and eventually got involved as a bit of a copycat artist himself.

I've had the film for ages but wasn't that into watching it, glad I did.

Watched Going the Distance with Justin Long and Drew Barrymore which was standard but pretty tolerable stuff. They do their best to avoid the lovey-dovey and when it's not focusing on that it's good. A decent support cast which includes the always amusing Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, who are both underused (Day especially).

Also didn't mind Easy A which was slated by somebody else earlier in this thread. The reviews were very favourable and I like Emma Stone who was standard support in Superbad but really good in Zombieland. I was expecting it to be much better but it was still okay despite my disappointment. A bit too teenie-bop for me.

...Burke & Hare was very poor. I'm a massive John Landis fan and this was supposed to be his big return and it was pretty dire. The story of Burke and Hare is really interesting and deserves a far darker film than the romantic comedy this turned out to be.

Also watched The Alibi starring Steve Coogan and Rebecca Romijn. I thought it was alright... Steve Coogan has been much better in other films but belongs on television for me. This is the second U.S. film he's made that didn't get cinema release in the UK that I've liked, the other being Hamlet 2. The Alibi is nothing more than so/so but it's better than a lot of the shite that makes its way into British cinemas.

...and finally, I thought The Town was really good. It looks like Ben Affleck has a good career ahead of him as a director. The Town has its flaws but it's really entertaining for what it is. It's not as good as Heat though.

I started watching a film where jude law is a soveit sniper in stalingrad, but fell asleep halfway through. It's supposed to be fairly decent, but a film where the russians and the germans have either cockney or yank accents is frankly ridicoulous.

In the last few days I have watched "Paul" which I thought was excellent and very funny, "Due Date" which was pretty crap and not worth watching even though it had 1 or 2 pretty funny moments and "The Kings Speech" which I think is vastly overrated and not my cup of beer.

Unknown - Neeson plays a victim of a car crash who suffers amnesia whilst in Berlin and must find out who he really is.

Bourne Supremacy

Battle: Los Angeles - Loved it, it's very "fuck yeah we're America we kick ass" at times but the fighting is intense and the aliens are bad ass. Which is what I wanted from this film.

I've caught a couple of bits of possibly the most bizarre film I've seen for a while on Sci-Fi channel recently. It was called the Centipede and involved a mad German scientist who tried to make a centipede type creature by joining 3 humans together - bloke at the front, woman behind him with her mouth surgically attached to his anus, another woman behind her also attached on. Only the bloke at the front gets fed, you can guess the rest.....

Not quite sure how he got them there, or how it finished, but it had the feel of an old 60s exploitation flick. It was certainly one of those films that you dont know why you carry on watching it, but just cant seem to switch it off.

I nearly downloaded that the other day, but bringing things back to the start of this thread, I vowed not to just get films for the sake of them being disturbing since I watched Salo. If it's worse than that (how?) then I don't want to watch it, and if it isn't, then I doubt there's any other artistic merit to watch it for so what would be the point?

This March sees the first official DVD release of Arrivederci Millwall, a hard-hitting British rarity about football hooliganism in the dark days of the early 80s, which is credited as having inspired the recent wave of football hooligan flicks such as The Football Factory (2004, dir. Nick Love), Green Street (2005, dir. Lexi Alexander) and Awaydays (2009, dir. Pat Holden). Made in 1992, Arrivederci Millwall is directed by Charles McDougall, who has since carved out a successful career directing TV shows such as Queer as Folk, Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives and The Office, along with the acclaimed TV movie Hillsborough (1996).

"Set in 1982, Billy Jarvis and his gang of hooligans prepare to go to Spain for the World Cup. At the same time the Task Force sets out for the Falklands. They view themselves as an unofficial task force, but behind the nationalistic fervour Billy plans his own personal revenge for the death of his brother in the Falklands conflict."

I'd probably agree with that rating. An interesting plot concept which didn't try to be unpredictable or clever. It was presented as follows: Here it is, watch it, let it entertain you.

Burn After Reading was great, really enjoyed it.

Hall Pass has had shocking reviews, but i thought there were moments in it that were genuinely funny. It's a typical Owen Wilson film, and as with everything before and since Wedding Crashers, it stays in its shadow. Not bad for a 'remove brain for 90 minutes' film, quite amusing.

Watched Dick Tracy for the first time since I was a kid... Very poor. The Dick Tracy 'franchise' is definitely something that should be explored against by Hollywood as it could be a really cool more adult series.

Also, Due Date was poor. John Hughes dealt for this far better with Planes, Trains & Automobiles... It's not exactly the same, I grant you, but as far as two-opposites-in-cross country-road trip is concerned then Candy and Martin still reign supreme.

Not quite sure how he got them there, or how it finished, but it had the feel of an old 60s exploitation flick. It was certainly one of those films that you dont know why you carry on watching it, but just cant seem to switch it off.

This was on again last night. I watched it as I remember you mentioning it. Shit and sick, but like you couldn't switch off.

Four Lions - 8/10  I do love Chris Morris.  Who else would think up something like that?

Black Swan - 5/10 Well made and acted film.  Also quite boring.

Un Prophete - 7/10 Think I was expecting too much really, though I still enjoyed it right to the end.

On my to watch list I have Let The Right One In, Mesrine, The Fighter, Moon, Inception, and The King's Speech.  I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed, although I realise those aren't all that new.  Any recommendations from the last year or so, films not to be missed?

Also Jackass 3-D (although I watched it in 2-D) was bloody funny. I wish I had gone to the cinema to see it in its full glory because it looked as though they did some cool stuff for the extra dimension.

Fantastic Mr Fox is superb - if you are a Wes Anderson fan. A let's face it, who isn't? Okay about 98% of this grey, unimaginative world - but this might be the film that converts some of them. It's as funny as Tenenbaum's but with the charm of Zizou and some wonderfully intricated stop motion animation and superb sets. Excellent vocal performances too.

Except it's not really, you know, for kids. ('cept obviously that's Coen Bros).

Not sure about the acting, seemed dodgy but might have just been the accents.

It relied waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too much on the sport side of things and the match went on waaaaaaaayy too long, it got boring. There were other stories within the movie but I get the feeling they were cut short to accommodate the rugby.

Watched the movie Neighbors which was the last film by John Belushi.

Very odd, not very good and Dan Aykroyd has blonde hair.

In hindsight, it's no wonder that Belushi relapsed and started taking crack again during the making of this film, dying three months after its release.

Reservoir Dogs, which I've seen before, reminded me how awesome Steve Buscemi is.

Rumble Fish, which I hadn't seen before and purchased solely because Tom Waits has a minor role in it, was far better than I expected and is visually one of the most striking films I've watched. The high contrast B&W cinematography is beautiful.

I've had it for a while but was reluctant to watch it because I've heard people complain it was boring.

Prophet, either one of those Love Film drunk moments or some misguided attempt to try and get something a little more high brow than the normal fare.  You know the sort.  World Cinema, subtitles, last 5 minutes before changing over to Lost Boys 3 The Thirst.

Anyway, cut a long story short it was French and actually superb.  Prison drama done a little differently and not to OTT.  Tries to get a little to arty in places but otherwise if you’re after something a little different I highly recommend Prophet.  7.75/10

Lost Boys 3 is tonight, god bless the Frog Brothers

I watched Tron: Legacy last night, after watching Tron for a warm up.

I remember loving Tron as a youngster and clearly, like many a Star Wars fan, was excited to watch the modern film and loved it because of what it represented in my mind not because it was good. Unlike Star Wars fans though, if I sit back and think about it I am able to realise it was total shit, with a great sound track, completely and utterly forgettable plot (I'm not sure there really was one) and some pleasing special effects. :)

Not the originals, they were great, but the prequels were in my opinion. I did only watched the first 2, which I thought were diabolical. The 3rd could be amazing, but I'd already decided enough was enough. :D

(Tron and Star Wars don't really compare in all honesty. The original Tron was shit when push comes to shove, I was just facetiously comparing the cults and their takes on the modern interpretations of their films.)

Saw Walk hard: the dewey cox story too. It had funny bits, but may have been funnier if I understood more of what it was parodying.
Also saw napolean dynamite. I can understand why people wouldn't like it, but for me it's one of the funniest films ever.

 SENNA

Just watched this today 2hrs 45 mins long, wasn't sure i was going to enjoy it as it looked like it was going to be just another  documentary. I was wrong its an awesome film with a great insight into Senna's life both privately and in F1, and also the competition between him and Prost. Didnt realise there was so much back room fighting with the FIA. An excellent view don't miss it, think it will look great on the cinema screen rather than TV

I went to that Tyneside Film Festival a few weeks back.

Watching films in the cinema between 0000-1000 is a weird but ultimately fun experience. As pretentious as it sounds, it was great to watch such groundbreaking films at a great cinema with a largely well-behaved audience. First showing aside...

Peeping Tom: Loved it. It was sort of ruined by annoying overly excited/drunk audience members who shouted at the screen. Boo them as it was great filmmaking. Shocking, funny and quite thought provoking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAZZmclLdo8

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!: Really good bit of old kitsch nonsense from Russ Meyer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQr8CC0jiIU

The Cat People: This one started at about 4am and it was a bit of a test as I was flagging a bit at this point. There was snoring from various points of the theatre. I made it through and loved it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ADPSaybusM

At this point it was either home for a couple of hours or hang about... We decided to take a 6am viewing of The Wizard of Oz. It was excellent on the big screen, but I was essentially watching with one eye open trying to stay awake... and then the man in the row behind pissed into a bottle/pint glass and that woke me up. His seat was made ‘out-of-bounds’ by staff for the next showing!

The final film was ‘A Night at the Opera’. I’m a big fan of The Marx Brothers and this was the first time I’ve been able to see them on the big screen. I was sat near the front looking up like a little kid. BRILLIANT.

Parts of it were definitely a bit blatant, like how she started off wearing all white clothes and gradually wore more grey and then black. GCSE film studies teachers will have a field day with it.

But there was enough left open to keep me entertained, like the blurring of reality and self-concept stuff. And the lesbifriends scene was great wrrruuhhh.

Nordwand or North Face. It's a german language account of the famed 1936 ascent on the Eiger, obviously by the north face and it's okay. As a true story and a very dramatic one at that, it doesn't need the romantic subplot that gradually gets more and more in the way. The rest is solid and the climbing sequences are good but go for Touching The Void first and read The White Spider instead.

Similarly, I thought casting Morgan Freeman to play Alex Cross in the film adaptations of James Patterson's works wasn't the right call. Needn't matter because the films weren't very good anyway.

I suppose an adaptation is adaptable though.

I agree about Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, also i think that they should make films for most of the James Patterson books, the Maximum ride series and the Private series would be the best.

Saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two on Friday.

Brilliant film, brilliantly directed and well worthy of being the last film in the franchise.

Personal highlights were Emma Watson/Hermione Granger in Helena Bonham-Carter/Bellatrix Lestrange's corset, humerous moments from Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis and the Snape Memory sequence. The battle of Hogwarts was done superbly IMO.

Would recommend people go and see it even if you haven't read the books or are unaware of the story as it is also a very good action film.

Sad but fitting end really.

'Hobo with a Shotgun' is surprisingly brilliant. If you like 80s stuff like Robocop you will love this. I highly recommend people watch this. I can't recommend people watch ' The Runaways' about the band of the same name which featured Joan Jett. Even some mild lezzing by Dakota 'big eyes' Fanning and the soppy mare from Twilight can't save this film from being a complete turd of way to spend the best part of two hours. Has anybody seen the trailer for 'Knuckles' ? It's a doc about real life gypsies kicking the 'be-jesus' out of each other, well it saves somebody else the bother of doing it.

is that the one where the family meets up for christmas or something like that, something crashes on their farmland and when they go out to investigate one of them gets shot by an alien? then the aliens walk past the windows of the house and the screen goes all blocky? That film is so shit its ace, watched it about 10 years ago, no idea what it was called until a few years back it was on again, watched it again, loved it just as much. awful acting, really shit aliens too, the talking head 'experts' were appallingly awesome as well.

The Legend of 1900, had it recommended via Lovefilm as a missed gem of a film. 
I found it akin to pouring sugar instead of salt over chips.  Could have been half way to decent but was garbage made worse by the fact a 40 year old Tim Roth is trying to pass as a pianist in his mid-20’s.

Empire.
The only explaination I've got for that at the moment is that because it's a largely dialogue driven type film, the vast majority will be coming from the centre speaker behind the screen - as that is the case with all screens when it comes to dialogue. I'm keeping an eye on it trying to catch a clubbing scene, something like that to see how it is.

Hope it didn't ruin it for you mate.

I watched ROTPOTA in sc 2 the other day and it was fine, when there's a lot of action, ie. helicopters flying, gun shots etc, that is what the surround is largely used for.


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Samdy Gray on Sunday, August 28, 2011, 21:19:23
In the clubbing scenes there was some sound from the surround speakers, but not as much as I would've expected.

The trailers for example were a lot clearer.

I watched Cowboys & Aliens last night which I enjoyed. Silly summer stuff but I'm big fan of all things Jon Favreau.

Screening was almost ruined by three teenage lads dicking around throughout the film. Why spend £7.50 (probably their parents money) if you cannot sit still, be quiet and resist using your phone for a couple of hours?

However, at the end some people wouldn't let them leave and gave them a right ol' dressing down. The main idiot initially got away until the cinema got the bouncers in. It's always great to see cocky kids on the verge of tears.

Petty lame antics (I've experienced far worse) but it's nice to see such cinema goers get their comeuppance for once.

is that the one where the family meets up for christmas or something like that, something crashes on their farmland and when they go out to investigate one of them gets shot by an alien? then the aliens walk past the windows of the house and the screen goes all blocky? That film is so shit its ace, watched it about 10 years ago, no idea what it was called until a few years back it was on again, watched it again, loved it just as much. awful acting, really shit aliens too, the talking head 'experts' were appallingly awesome as well.

oh, 'Adjustment Bureau' is quite good, i liked it. 
Yea that's the one, it's so good because it's so shit. Definitely worth the watch, but the worst part is the continuous cutting to the So called "experts" who were such bad actors. can't believe some people thought the tape was real.

I definitely know where your coming from, although I think the way it treated the subject matter in an inside out way was enough to carry it over that middle lull for me. Also, (A bit spoilery...) even knowing it was a Chris Morris effort and having heard a lot about it, I still couldn't quite believe that something wouldn't happen to stop them going through with it at the end. I think that tense feeling held it together.

Shit that was a mess of a paragraph.

Educated the girlfriend by getting her to watch Usual Suspects, which remains brilliant, and Road to Perdition, which is also very good.

Saw 'The Skin I Live In' at the cinema, directed by Almodóvar and with Antonia Banderas - fuck that was weird. It contains the ULTIMATE woman "you would but shouldn't".

I've also got the Beaver to waTch, which looks good.

Non-animal way? Isn't it about a dog? I'm sort of drawn to those films simply because I say I shouldn't watch them, which seems to make me want to watch them. Like a gory video or something awful you're told not to view. Having lost dogs just the thought of watching them makes me sad though.

It's like Hachi - A dog's tale. The synopsis almost made me cry and even the thought of it makes me come over all girly and emotional! I think I'll have to watch it simply to get over the idea it's so very sad.

(That episode of Futurama with Fry's dog is similar and that made me cry like a baby.)

I've read all his books and wouldn't for a second deny that I enjoyed them and have recommended them. Forgetting the part involving the helicopter and the Tiber, A & D is the best imo.

The thing with his books is they're a bit far fetched and silly at times. They're a good read in the same way a Michael Bay film is a good watch. They won't win awards, or teach you much about literature, but they'll put a smile on your face and they're a memorable and enjoyable read I reckonz.

Also watched the first half hour of Boy in the Striped Pyjamas in Citizenship, we're watching the whole thing gradually.

Got the boy in the striped pyjamas on sky planner and watched it again last night. Really good film with a dramatic ending. Another good film Is Roman Polanski's, the Pianist. Thought provoking stuff about the German invasion of Poland and Jewish families fight for survival. Fairly old film now 2002 but really worth watching.

Went to see Tinker Tailor hungover and we fell asleep after the credits, missing the first half an hour of it. Woke myself up with a really loud snore and the man in front was staring at me. Had missed key parts of the plot and didn't have a clue what was going on, so had to suffer the indignity of walking out after 45mins. The best part of that cinematic experience was seeing the trailer for a new film directed by Paddy Considine, Tyrannosaur:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvyqXFmV-LI

Rewatched Into The Wild which is very good.

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas was on tv not long ago, it was better than I thought it would be. Also like the Pianist and Eagle & Shark.

Not a real film buff but the ending in the Boy In The Striped Pyjamas was a brilliantly simple film....shocking thought provoking and a film that got me angry.

Just watched Play it Again Sam, for the 4th or 5th time.

Best lines in the film:

Woody Allen (Trying to get a date off a fit, but fucked up girl); "What are you doing Saturday?"

Girl; "Commiting suicide."

Long pause, followed by:

Woody Allen: "How about Friday?"

I know he's an acquired taste, but his 70's films are, in the main, hilarious.

It's about how he was fat and ill then went on a road trip across the US living off veg and fruit juice as a means of becoming healthy again. Can be watched at the below link.

Watched The Living and the Dead last week with Roger Lloyd-Pack (Trigger from Only Fools & Horses). Really good low budget British psychological horror, and quite disturbing in places. There are only really 3 actors in it all the way through, really good performances, especially Trigger in the type of role you've probably never seen him in before.

the thing that bothered me about the LOTR apart from being so fucking long was that at the very end the bird thingy that took them home, why didn't they just use that to fly there, drop the ring off and fly back and save me 12 hours ??

Also Sean Bean - his bloody accent - "eer Frodo lad, put kettle on"

The Bourne trilogy is an awesome set of films, progressively getting slightly worse as the action scenes become more and more fancy. And Franka Potente is top bit of flange

Watched 'Senna' the other day and was genuinely moved by the film. 

Have to say watching it completely changed my views of him.  For the past twenty-something years I haven't liked him, to me he was a cheat, a dirty driver.  I don't really know why, pretty sure I don't remember the Prost crash at Suzuka as I would only have been nine at the time (1990) and it's not something that sticks in my mind.  It might just be because he was beating Mansell and later Hill... 

That opinion was completely reversed within the first 10 - 15 minutes.

A truly moving documentary about a gifted person who got tangled up in the politics of the sport and made a few decisions that clearly didn't sit right with him.

The great thing about the film is that you don't have to be a motorsports fan to appreciate it.  My wife watched it with me and liked it yet she hates F1. 

I implore all of you who are yet to watch it, to beg, borrow or steal a copy and watch it.  You won't be disappointed.

You mean the one with Martin Freeman in?

I avoided it when first shown because I though I'd have the same opinion as you. Then I watched it second time round and loved it.

Just finished watching napolean dynamite again. I can understand why people don't get it, but for me it's one of the funniest films ever.

"I caught you a delicious Bass"

I didn't really get it. Maybe one or two laughs, but it didn't really work for me and I wanted to like it a lot.

On Indie fare, I watched Submarine the other day (Moss's film) which was pretty good but very shoegazy. Funnier than Napoleon Dynamite.

Funny how the BBC and Hollywood both re-imagined Sherlock Holmes around the same time. Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks the BBC did a far better job on a fraction of the budget - I can imagine the Hollywood execs were saying "why the fuck didn't we think of doing it like that" to each other.

Thought the first episode was one of the finest pieces of drama I've ever seen, went downhill a bit after that but was still excellent. Just a pity they didn't make a proper series out of it rather than a few episodes here and there.

I watched Eraserhead in the early hours (3am-ish) of a all-nighter at the Tyneside Cinema. I couldn't stop thinking about it for about a week afterwards.

I'm surprised by the lack of R2 DVD distribution for Lynch. A few distribution companies have gone out of business in the last few years so perhaps that has something to do with it.

Elephant Man is his best work (in my opinion).

Watched a few Swedish films recently, Arn: Templar Knight and its follow up Kingdom at Road's End. If you like historical films or your bird wants a love story and doesn't mind mostly subtitles (some section in English) then this would be right up your street.

The Girl Who trilogy (Dragon Tattoo, Hornets Nest & Played with Fire) were really really good. Going to give the books a read at some point after i've forgotten what its all about.

Warrior is probably my favourite of the films I've seen recently. Good mix of drama and action and the fight scenes were better than I thought they would be.

Liked the retro feel of Drive well filmed and a good story but ultimately didn't think the lead character did much to connect with the audience which was a bit of a negative.

I watched Goon the other week which surpassed my expectations and i really enjoyed it. Not a comedy which produced loads of laughs throughout but the storyline was respectable and not overly cheesy.

Just watched a French thriller, Point Break, well worth a go before it gets remade as a typical American action thriller.

Yeah, that's the one, based on the life of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.
Excellent film, well worth a watch.

The Hurricane is a decent film, but the real life Carter was a right bit of work.

I watched Real Steel last night. It was good fun in places but the fact they overdid everything got on my tits. Repetitively pushed the same points throughout the film too. The fighting bits were quite enjoyable though, but the Rocky copycat ending was terrible.

If you like robots and ‘feel good’ stories you’ll probably love it.

Didnt take much writing in the dialogue did it.

I think that director Nic Winding Refyn or whatever hes called is really good.  Caught most of Bronson recently which he did and was also really good.  Very distinctive.

I've seen Underground. I enjoyed it, it was quite funny. There was bit too much pro-Serbia sentiment in it though, especially after such a delicate period.

You should give No Man's Land a watch. It's a film about a Bosnian and a Serb soldier caught in no man's land together. As you can imagine they get on like a house on fire.

Watched Inglorious Basterds for the first time yesterday. Really enjoyed it, OK they perposely and spectacularly re-wrote history but it was entertaining enough.

there are two scenes in that film, the opening one in the french famrers house, and the bar scene ending in the gunfight,  which are outstanding...

anyway, my main point was.....I have seen three films/series recently where the endings are ambiguous/left up to the viewer, or, are so myserious only the writer knew what the fook he intended etc...
fuck I hate that...if I am going to put the effort into watching a film/series, at least have the balls and conviction to conclude it properly...

the guilty parties are:

 - Take shelter
 - Another earth
 - Inside man, the bbc 4 part series.

about 8hrs there wasted.

What I meant was the rewriting of history was deliberate, self mocking at the film industry (IMHO) and clearly not fact.  In other words it was clearly fiction. I like that.

As you say, half truths are irritating. Like in U-571 the capturing an enigma machine, useful but in reality we already had a few.

JO, largely agree with you on open endings. There are a few classics though, the Italian Job for one.

I watched 'Senna' this weekend. Some of the footage of him driving around Monaco was frightening.

I used to be an avid F1 fan and can remember the weekend of the San Marino GP and the deaths of Ratzenberger and Senna.

I just read a bit about him on Wiki and apparently there was an Austian flag in his car which he planned to wave as a tribute to Ratzenburger after the race.

Also, there were 3 million people in Sao Paolo who came out the day of his funeral, which is a staggering amount of people.

Did you not also find Senna's demeanor a little worrying that weekend – it was almost as if he knew something was going to happen to him.

And why was the camera on him at the moment Ratzenberger crashed ?

Also for you film buffs, Blockbuster have been doing 2 weeks free rentals for new sign-ups or lapsed customers recently (think it's still on) so worth checking out. So long as you get films back the next day you won't pay anything.

Its not too bad, but its basically a love story set aboard the boat. So not really a bloke film from that respect, but from memory they did a decent job on the boat side of the effects. Not exactly historically accurate regarding certain crew members actions either, but then that's Hollywood.

Is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story worth a watch?

It's decent. Not majorly brilliant, but good enough to kill an hour or two. A lot of it is parodying dylan/wonder films.

But it has the woman who played pam beesly in it, and she plays filth in this. That alone is worth it

That was my favorite film when I was about 16. Great soundtrack and you get to see Kate Hudson's nips for a few fleeting seconds in the hotel room.

I may give I'm Not Here a spin this afternoon, Joaquin Phoenix in some kind of is it real or is it fake documentary thing, as he tries to reinvent himself as a rapper.

Almost Famous was one of my favourites when it came out. A little bit of Cameron Crowe Americana is good for the soul. I bought the bootleg edition a while back and it's still not been opened.

I got the impression that 'I'm Not Here' was conceived during some late-night coke fuelled shit-chat between a group of people who are not that funny beyond their own circles.

Watch it though :)

Dead Man's Shoes

I just watched Haywire. It was complete and utter shit. It seems like you spend most the film with the feeling that you're not completely sure what's going on and then it ends.

Agree, although I didn't make it to the end.  I lasted about 40 minutes and didn't know what the fuck was going on so turned it off.

Elijah Wood is one of the worst peices of casting ever in the history of films for that role.

And to add to it, it is a really crap story line not to mention Foster....'ave a word you mug.....as they would say in the film in a mockney accent.

I almost turned it off countless times, I wish I did. The worst thing is when it ends and they reveal what I think is supposed to be a twist you don't care and didn't realise it was even supposed to be a twist - so bad is the story. You're just grateful its ended.

I can't recall being so bored with so many dull meaningless convoluted scenes. Some of the fight scenes are so slow, contrived and tedious it's amusing. Rotten Tomatoes had this as 80%?! WTF?

I was a bit disappointed with that. Another one which didn't tickle the funny bone as much as it should have done was Cyrus (John C Reilly, the stripper from The Wrestler and the fat bloke from Superbad). Just seemed like there was more potential for comedy moments in both which never materialised.

The Dictator was pretty good. There are some serious laugh out loud moments, although there were certain parts that I just did not find funny at all. The satire throughout is top notch though, also the big speech at the end about dictatorships had me in stitches.

There were concerns at the beginning that they'd gone too far the other way with this one, not enough action and all story.  Assume that's why the teaser was pure action, allay some fears.

I watched The Usual Suspects the other night (using my new Netflix account - really impressed with Netflix, both the quality and selection are superb) and it was just as good as ever. I love that film and the way you seem to spot little things you'd missed before.

I watched Blitz with Jason Statham last night and I quite enjoyed it. I had no expectations and just saw it on the Netflix homepage so watched it. It feels like a feature length episode of a TV series, nothing special, nothing overly shit, just helped pass the time like it was meant to.

Watched it last week and completely agree. I was told that there are serious holes in the plot/script as to why clever people do stupid things. I went prepared to be disappointed by these flaws, but didn't notice them in any major way and I still really liked it.

I thought the CGI was fucking spectacular as well. I don't like to use the word epic, because I'm not a complete cunt, but it's quite apt in this case.

Saw it a couple of months ago, excellent film.

Watched Moneyball last night, thought that was pretty good as well.

Also watched Wanderlaust (or something like that) which was the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen. They could have saved it if they hadn't blurred out Jennifer Anistons tits went she goes topless, but I'm also suspicious they superimposed her head on someone else's body.

Must agree. Not sure why it isn't more widely revered.

Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 17:13:48
I would argue that AMX is indeed widely revelled. It was was critically acclaimed from the start and its stock has risen significantly then. It didn't do too well at the cinema but New Line Cinema was in the early years of being a Time Warner subsidiary so probably missed out of big money advertising at the time its release. There were a lot of post-production issues which was probably costly.

AHX didn't win many big awards (Norton got an Academy Award nomination) but it was up against big hitters of the time like Saving Private Ryan, Shakespeare in Love, Life is Beautiful and The Thin Red Line.

History has been far kinder to AHX (much like Shawshank Redemption in that respect).

Hunger Games - its got Woody Harrleson and some fit bird in it. Think the Truman Show crossed with Battle Royale. I enjoyed it, but it would have been even better if they'd pushed the boat out and made it worthy of a 15 certificate.

just going back a few pages to find films i may have missed.  i read the books recently which were fantastic, watched the Hunger Games immediately after finishing the first book and felt so let down with how little the film depicted Katniss's personal struggle.

i know films have to to things to the beat of a different drum and all but in the book it's really the whole point of the story, i hope they do better with the other two.

another thing is that Harrleson was terrible casting for Haymitch, not the right person at all in relation to the character in the books.  i guess they were looking to the following two parts in which the character in the books changes according to the challenges at hand.  another part of the story they seem to be streamlining.

sad, but still hope they can pull it back. 

i also hope someone one day chooses to take on 'His Dark Materials' again, even if it means starting from scratch again.

This whole fucking re-booting films thing really annoys me, admitidly I like the Batman re-boot. But they're also re-booting Total Recall. Have Hollywood run out of original ideas? as it just seems to be, sequals and re-boots at the minute.

Cabin on the woods.  Enjoyed that a lot.  Not a big horror fan but it was damn good.

Hunger games.  Pretty good.  Would be better if I was a teenage girl but if I was a teenage girl I wouldnt get out of my bedroom much.

5 year engagment.  Flight finished before the inevitable getting back together, but all in all I thought it was a really good light comedy I could identify with.  Not just because apparently I look like the bloke in it, but also because it seemed to be a firly realistic view of modern relationships.  Except where he goes mad.  That was bollocks.

The Maltese falcon.  Classic noir.

I also watched 3 episodes of the american office which I was surprised was as good as it was and 6 episodes of community which wasnt enough.  Id love to see more.

Has any seen Blade Runner? Is it worth watching? I've been meaning to watch it but have never got round to it yet.
I've got it on Blue-Ray and it is visually stunning, but while it is a good film I think it is a little bit over hyped.  Definately worth watching though.

Isn't the book based on earth though and it was the previous film that deviated from the actual story? Just curious, not nit picking.

And I'll watch it, not in the cinema, but whatever costs me no money, just for the incredible Beckinsale.

It's actually a sub-20 page story and has practically no adventure in it whatsoever. It gave the films the idea for the planting of memory and the fact the lead character had actually already experienced it, but nothing after that.

Oh ok, that saves me finding and reading the book then. I should learn to Google more, rather than repeat things I'm told! :)

A quick Google reveals that it was a Philip K Dick story, which I didn't know. Nor that The Adjustment Bureau and Minority Report were his as well, only one I knew was Blade Runner. Think I'll dig out some of his books.

The books are by far better then film. It is a teen version of the running man except with less violence, fairly slow to get going in the first hour, and lacks the Arnie one liners. It's worth a watch but Battle Royale is better.

Excellent film.  i'm not really into vampire type stuff but thought this was ace.

On the basis I find all Bond films dull as fuck, but somehow found the recent Casino Royale to be somewhat watchable, how should I take your review?

Go see it. Casino Royale isn't as interesting, exciting, and generally awesome as Skyfall. Least in my opinion.

My main problem with Daniel Craig as Bond was that he was simply a blonde head on a big body that punched people. There was no real character-building in either of his previous films. In Skyfall, he actually appears to be a person, as opposed to a government-run robotics programme.

Skyfall would have been my favourite Bond film were it not for the dragged out and slightly disappointing ending, especially given the first 2/3 of the film. However, the ending was more to do with development of Bond's character for the future.

The villain is bloody brilliant, one of the more iconic ones.

I think it's in February but I maybe wrong. Thought it could go a bit stale but the revelation at the end of the first part of series 5 means it is far from going stale. Actually one of those mid-season endings where it is left at a genuine cliffhanger.

Hall Pass is definitely worth a go

Gruesome stuff.


Cheers fellas, watched these two as a result of seeing them mentioned on here.  Thought Hall Pass was good; recommended for anyone that enjoyed the Wedding Crashers and 40 Year Old Virgin.  The girl next door involved poor acting but I'm interested in true crime and, since this is loosely based on a true story, it held my interest.

Awesome scene from decent movie (also true crime and suffering from poor acting):

21 Jump Street - Silly comedy, did enough to entertain without really being too brilliant.

The Amazing Spiderman - I found it boring, just a re-hash of the same story.

The Cabin In The Woods - Utterly cretinous. Don't pay attention to the star ratings on the box, it's woeful. If you've seen films like Insidious and thought the ending was bad, magnify it by 100 and that's the ending to this film.

I watched it last week on the syfy channel. Not gory as such just the whole idea is pretty grim.  A lady that works for me is really into her grim horror films and she descibed the sequel as being a 100 times worse - which really makes me not want to watch it.

To be honest I am a complete wimp when it comes to films and I am surprised I watched it. As Flash said it makes you shudder when you think about it.

Watched The Impossible last night.

Compelling film, just wished they had cast Spanish actors (after all, it was based on a Spanish family) rather than pandering to Hollywood and cast Ewen bloody McGregor in the lead.

Just watched it.

The 'poor' hospital conditions were very much sensationalised in the film. I was in hospital myself within 48 hours of the event and it was all very clean and pretty much under control. All areas got immediate assistance from Bangkok within hours and, of course, from all over the world. (I was treated by some specialist volunteering from France). I have no doubt the first 24 hours were akin to a warzone but stuff got organised eventually.

What was not sensationalised though was the horror of the event. The sound of heavy waves crashing still startle me at times.

I did stay watching though, not sure why, it was total gash. What is funny is that it clearly had a huge budget for fx, yet no story, script or characters. I bet heads rolled when that hit the cinemas.

I went to see it solely on the basis that it starred Donald Faison and I was going through a major Scrubs phase at the time, a really cool idea with the aliens but so badly executed as a film it was unreal. The bit at the end? Oh my fucking god, if I wasn't with my Mum and her partner at the time I would have stood up and walked out "Done" - Peter Griffin sylee.

Apparently it's from the hopi (?) language and translates as 'life out of balance.'

Whilst we're talking about worst films, what's everyone's worst film ever (sorry if there is already a thread on this)?

Off the top of my head, the worst film I ever saw at the cinema was probably Armageddon.

Some of the ones on the IMDB Bottom 100 (http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom) sound intriguing from the titles.  The Tony Blair Witch Project (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252060/) anyone?

That's a pretty spectacular list. I'd like to see 'The Maize', if only for it's ingenious title. You see, it's a film about a psychic and a MAZE of MAIZE, like a maze that you can't get out of, and maize, the crop! The maize.

'The Experiment' which had a decent cast but a pretty shoddy script. Straight to DVD effort so hardly surprising.

And 'End of Watch' which was a very good LA Cop film.

'End of Watch' which was a very good LA Cop film.

When I saw the trailer for that at the cinema a while back I immediately thought 'Oh look another American action film where by making the main (male) characters really butch and macho they actually weave in tones of homoeroticism'.

Watched Looper last night, which I enjoyed (I love time travel films, even if they fuck things/your head up). I thought I knew who the actors were but when I looked at them they didn't look quite right - as it turns out I was right so I guess they must've edited their faces :/

That looks ace. I used to ride motocross and a nutty mate, when we were about 13/14, used to ride his RM250 (that bike was brutal for someone our age, it was a man's bike) on roads constantly, mainly because he loved to be chased by the cops. Obviously with a bike that does about 80mph on any surface, and gets there in the blink of an eye, he never got caught.

He is a heroin addict now though, so I think he eventually found his rush.

I watched 'Filth' last night and thought it was very good. Loved the book mind, so as long as they didn't deviate massively from that I was always going to enjoy it. The changes that were made were entirely appropriate and well justified.

Loved the book myself.

James McAvoy did a pretty good job. I don't think they portrayed the tapeworm side of it all at all well though, that part just seemed strange and confusing in the movie. Still enjoyed the film though.

Agreed on the tapeworm bit, but that was always going to be a challenge. Not sure I would have got that had I not read the book. It was a good idea to have Rossi represent the tapeworm I guess just not perfectly executed.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but I think cinematically that's kind of the point- the dullness is reminiscent of the 90% of war that is tedium, coupled with the 10% of bowel-loosening terror. Or at least the conveyance of that.

Still one of the most important WW2 films ever made though.

Spielberg and friends nailed many aspects of the 'tedium of war' within Band of Brothers. That sort of subject belongs on the small screen as you have more time to get to know the characters etc.

To be honest, a lot of me likes the simplistic three hour long old school cinema mentality of: See that bunker? We've got to take it. Onwards! I'm not saying that I wanted SPR to be like Inglorious Basterds but it could have been tightened in places.

Schindler's List is Spielberg's war masterpiece.

It took me two watches through Pacific to actually realise some people were the same character/were not the same character. There are too many with nearly identical faces. I couldn't name one character.

I could sit here and ream off the Band of Brothers 'characters', but I don't think I need to prove the point.

Quick note before anyone's disappointed- the new Frank is nothing like the actual Frank. Deliberately so. The director didn't want to make a movie about the 'real' Frank Sidebottom because he didn't want to detract from the mystery of the man behind the bobblehead.

Wen to see a late showing of Frank last night.  Really really enjoyed it.  Though it looks like its going to be a biopic of Frank Sidebottom, its not.  The only thing it has to do with Frank Sidebottom is the head.  Its a story of a depressed lunatic / genius.  Fantastic film, funny, sad, entertaining.

Highly recommended.

It wasn't a film where once it ended you'd sit back and think about it for a moment. It was a film that was turned off the second the credits start because you've been thinking about that pile of washing up that needs doing. I'll have completely forgotten about this film in a few days.

I'm watching 12 Years a Slave for the first time and although it's harrowing and the slave trade was obviously an abhorrent thing, I couldn't help myself laughing at Fassbender chasing Solomon around and falling over all slapstick. Kind of tonally dissonant in a film where half an hour later we watch him graphically whipping someone's back to ruin.

It's a really good film and all, but, from my perspective at least, it's not as good as the press it's got. A lot of long camera shots with no movement from actor or cameraman and no dialogue apparently make for oscar bait.

Also as soon as Brad Pitt's character appeared I knew he was a good guy. I bet he doesn't fudging work a film unless he's a good guy. Predictable.

Twee's a good word for it. Thinks that being complacent and odd is a substitute for being funny, or clever, or compelling. The quirky trailer made the wife think it would be good for the kids, who were allowed in for some reason, to watch the weirdly misplaced effing, blinding and blood-spilling. Reminded me of the worst of Terry Gilliam, like Baron Munchhausen.

I absolutely hated this film's guts.

Watched the new planet of the apes film on Saturday. It was OK, very watchable without being brilliant.

Watched it at The Screening Rooms in Cheltenham - big seats, waiter service, no Chav riff raff. Certainly not worth the extra on a regular basis, with doing for a treat though.

I've been meaning to watch that for a while so will definitely get round to it sooner rather than later.

I watched Lucy tonight. I'll post a review shortly.


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, September 7, 2014, 00:04:11
A lengthy review of Lucy without spoilers (sic). If you just want to know if it's worth a watch then the answer is no. Read on if you want to know why. It may take you a couple of minutes but it will save you 90 more potentially.

The film starts off with an promising premise and has the look and feel of a good thriller. The audience don't know what is happening and why and certainly is designed to keep you guessing, intrigued and interested. Plus we get to see plenty of Scarlet Johansson's ample bust. Nice.

However we do also get the first hints that there is something strange and annoying about this film. Scenes which cut from Johannson's startled face to an antelope, to a mob of Korean criminals, to a few cheetahs, back to Johannson surrounded by the Korean mob, to cheetahs chasing antelope.....well you get the idea.

Speaking of unnecessary - Morgan Freeman starts giving a seminar on his theory on what would happen if humans were to use greater than 10% of their cerebral capacity (the myth that this is the supposed amount we use). 20% yada, at 30% blah blah....at 100% he isn't entirely sure but it's likely to be the work of science fiction. Thank you Professor Freeman.

The film is littered with this sort of stuff, we see parts of the seminar played back again and again, just in case you didn't understand the point the Professor was trying to make or the importance of it. There's a craptastic montage of a fighter jet taking off, a rocket being launched, skyscrapers being built etc, all meant to depict human achievement, because the main character asks 'what have humans achieved?' or something along those lines. Eurgh, I'm sure I worked out the character meant we've achieved a lot but so little by the way the line was delivered.

You may have seen the trailer and thought: I enjoyed Limitless and this looks like an over-the-top version of that, it will probably be a bit silly but enjoyable and entertaining and will have an interesting plot. This is not that film. You may think - oh well, it will be really cool to see some sort of untouchable super-human using more of her brain to do some cool stuff and start some shit. This isn't one of those good action films (even casting the plot aside).

The entire film is a piss-poor paradox which is meant to deliver themes, philosophies and the director's vision/interpretation of life apparent by the finale. The ending isn't thought provoking and the audience are treated as if they don't use even 10% of their brain power, having their hands held throughout the entire film to make sure they understand the 'deep meaning' of the film. It's art shit dressed up and marketed as something else.

Now that I've gotten Plex up and running properly, I've been able to watch a few more films lately.

Bad Neighbours is your typical Seth Rogen stoner film. The plot is completely devoid of anything meaningful, but it's not bad for a couple of hours of 'dumb' entertainment. Additional bonus if you want to see Zac Efron shirtless.

They Came Together, which I watched primarily to appease the wife's love of rom-coms, turned out to be a bit of a parody rom-com film. I usually like the films of Paul Rudd (come at me) and although this one had a few laugh out loud moments, it was actually quite awful.

I have the new Godzilla which I've yet to watch.

I don't understand why it got such good reviews. Godzilla isn't even most of the film and the main character dude is one annoying cunt.

It's like watching a rubbish undercard and a very uneventful 11 rounds of main event to get to an exciting final round.

I watched Godzilla on top of a car park which is definitely the right way to do it (albeit Peckham is not Tokyo).

I thought it was pretty fun, although I could have done with less Aaron Taylor Johnson and more Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche. It takes a while for the big chap to show up but I actually did care about the humans for the most part.

Cage worked out it predicted a series of dates that tragedies would occur and number of deaths that would occur in the tragedy.

It wasn't very good, but credit where it is due for the most un-Hollywood ending I've seen!

Talking of un-Hollywood endings, I saw the most-Hollywood ending a while back and forgot to mention it anywhere.

I remember the Butterfly Effect being a really good film with a good, decently thought provoking ending.

Well, some time back I watched it again - it might've been channel 4, but I forget. What I watched was the same film, but with what I can only describe as the most warm and cuddly ending to that film one could possibly conceive. I was sickened such a pathetic ending even existed to be honest.

Recent films I've watched have been birdman and boyhood.

Birdman was pretty poor despite waiting and waiting for it to do something. When I thought it was finally going to become worth watching it just went back to the weird pap it had been.  Got good reviews so maybe it's just me.

Boyhood was ok as you see the changes in people over time but apart from that it is instantly forgettable.


Title: Re: Films films filmsy films.
Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, February 15, 2015, 01:47:40
I watched Birdman tonight and I thought exactly the same as you Arriba.

Other films I have seen recently which I can recommend:

Whiplash - was a really engrossing film, had it not been recommended to me (cheers Hertha) I wouldn't have considered it as the synopsis alone would have put me off.

John Wick - Stupid plot, leave your brain at the door type film but was an enjoyable action flick with some great fight scenes.

The Interview - Expected it to be crap but thought it was genuinely funny. More focus on James Franco's character than Seth Rogan's which made for a better film in my opinion.

I can also vouch for Predestination being a half decent film. If you're into Time Travel type films and want something a bit different have a watch of Spanish film Timecrimes which was interesting and clever.

Interstellar wasn't bad if you discount the length of the film and the massively flawed ending (a lot of sci-fi films can be like this mind). I quite liked the sound effects (e.g. broken/muffled sounds or very little sound) and I can't work out if the comedy robots were brilliantly shit or just shit.

If you value your time then don't waste it on Foxcatcher which is one of the slowest, least intense and most boring films I've seen in a very long time.

I saw that the other week and thought it was fantastic. Steve Carell was incredible, I had no idea he had that sort of performance in him.

American Sniper and The Immitation Game were also excellent but Boyhood was very average only made interesting by the original concept I thought.

Watched a film called 'it's such a beautiful day' on Netflix this evening. A lo-fi animation (and probably too 'hipsterish' for some) but I loved it. It was dark, funny, beautiful and made me have feelings. It's only an hour long (although it requires your attention, so it does feel like a long hour) and I strongly recommend people watch it.

Watched The Babadook and Snowpiercer at the weekend. Both considered good on Rotten Tomatoes, both decent enough but hard to really grasp what I thought of them. I suppose I expected more going by what RT had to say.

The Babadook was dark, well written and had a good underlying story. And the kid is an absolutely blinding actor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szaLnKNWC-U

Snowpiercer was also worth watching and I liked the steampunk future. And not that I finished reading it, or it has anything to do with this, but I couldn't help tying it in to Atlas Shrugged.

Watch 4-6. If you don't like them, don't bother with 1-3. If you really like them, don't bother with 1-3. If you quite liked them, but think you wouldn't be annoyed at the same thing with even creakier dialogue and plot, then maybe watch 1-3. Even then, probably not 1.

4-6 are way better, if a little dated now. 1-3 are a pile of shit

4-6 have that "cult film" status. The reason being is for animation geeks like me, all the work put into modelling and real FX was a work of art and for the time they were made its absolutely brilliant.  I'm not anti digital/green screen though. It's a different kind of art and skill, for me it's jut all the work put into making things we take for granted in film now, Lucas 4-6 team were truly craftsmen of their time.

This is why I enjoy the original version of films like John Carpenters: The Thing, all of George A. Romero's ...of The Dead films and the earlier Alien films. Yes you watch the "FX" now and think "that's shite" but relative to the time they were made it was real craft and groundbreaking. I admire that in films. Obviously I enjoy a well written script and good actors too.

I agree with sutton though. 4-6 are classics. While 1-3 are ok, you just don't feel the same about them.

If you want a great film though i'd say,  try Memento. Guy Pearce is excellent. Very underrated actor in my opinion.

I've decided to read the book first. I'm never sure whether you should read the book first or second.

The Firm is supposed to be a good film, but I'd read the book first so thought the film was crap. The same is true of almost every book, so should films be watched first so we enjoy both?

I've finished reading The Martian, I know it's the wrong thread, but it's kind of right.

Anyway, I fucking loved it. One of the best books I've read in a long time and I think space geeks would enjoy the problem solving required of the lead man.  

The film is utter toss and is absolutely no credit to Grisham's brilliant writing.

In a nutshell. Although I've not read a Grisham since The Associate, which is one of the shittest books I've ever read. It's like he got bored and tied all the exciting threads up by treating the reader like an idiot and pretending they didn't exist.

I was about 9 or 10 when the return of the Jedi was released. It was massive for kids around my age and the toys were the must have things for boys then.
I guess it stuck with me and others who were into it as kids hence the anticipation of this film.

I got my kids watching the films when they were small and it continues. My little nephew who is 4 loves playing as Darth Vader for instance. He's mad on it.

I didn't like the second generation of films much but this film going back to the characters of my childhood has whetted my appetite.

Agreed, I've been tempering my expectations as the prequel trilogy were so crushingly shite after all the hype and excitement, I didn't want to be disappointed. I shouldn't have worried, as it was really, really good. Went to the midnight showing last night as well, didn't once feel the need to check the time, I was thoroughly absorbed by the film. A welcome return to the original characters and felt the new ones really grew throughout the course of the film, after an initial slightly-wooden opening from Rey.

For the record, Im not that much of a fan of Star Wars.  I have looked at all the nonsense of people queuing to watch it at midnight thinking, 'Look calm down, Im fairly sure you'll still be able to see it tomorrow.  And then next day.  And the next month.  It's only a bloody kids film.'

I don't get the whole "never seen it and never want to see it" stuff.  People wearing it like a badge of honour, it seems bizarre to me.  

I don't like Star Trek, but I have watched the movies, the JJ Abrams ones seem OK, but still not all that...  I don't get the hype about Hunger games, but have seen most of the films..

I guess this is more about film fans and non film fans, which is ironic in this thread

It's not really that, it's just knowing what kind of films you like. I don't often find an all-action blockbuster that lives up to its hype. Given that I'll never get to see everything I want to, I make choices.

Bit cultish (yes, that is the spelling) to say not getting sucked into the Star Wars franchise equals not liking film.

To be fair he is on the timid side - he has seen most of the rest of the films but doesn't like the Emperor or when Luke gets zapped with the blue shit. He is more likely to be scared of scary characters as opposed to gore.

The villain Kylo Ren was creepy and may be scary for a kid. It was his voice which I found quite creepy.

My girlfriend's two kids (6 and 9 years old) went to see it and loved it. I wouldn't say they scare easy mind.

in fairness this film seems a bit Marmite, a lot of people liked it.

to me it was three action sequences for 15 minutes and 1hr 50 mindless and nonsensical plot that was very tedious.

Think this might have something to do with the fact they are kids films maybe! If you didn't get in them as a child I'd be really surprised if you watched them now and thought they were the best films you've ever seen. I mean even as an 8 year old the thought of the Ewoks helping to defeat the empire seemed a little far fetched, as an adult is a terrible storyline.

The new film has reignited a child hood memory spark for the older viewer, and hopefully will prove popular with today's younger viewer too.

It's no different to someone 'fresh' watching Swindon and thinking 'this is pretty shit'. It's the emotional attachment over time that brings you closer to a football club.

I agree, I watched them as a kid and recall enjoying them. As an adult they've had zero appeal, but I watched episode one and thought it was seriously bad. That was enough.

Mind you, as a contrarian, if films have loads of hype I'm often more inclined to dislike them.

I intend to re-watch LOTR trilogy as there's no end of people who foam at the mouth when I say I found them boring and didn't finish the 3rd.

The Conspiracy is a low budget fake documentary/found footage type affair which was far too predictable and didn't really have much conspiracy involved in the end. Think Kill List but not as good.

A rather mediocre 6.0/10 only because it was intriguing up until a certain point.

A lot of the fight scences were done as one continuous shot with no editing, one in particular must have lasted for 2 rounds so that obviously adds to the authenticity.

Also helps when the other fighters are actual boxers, Tony Bellew, etc

Just watched Hope and Glory, quite an oldie now (1987), I missed it at the time, but thought it was brilliant.

If it's an homage to the orginal, I'm not too offended. I really like the casting of Wiig and McKinnon.

It was only a matter of time before they revisited Ghostbusters because as a concept it's fucking great fun. Any hope of the original cast reappearing for a third film died with Harold Ramis.

In conclusion: If it's shit, it won't come close to tarnishing the brilliance of Ackroyd, Murray, Ramis....................... and Hudson.

Speaking of Tom Hanks I watched Bridge of Spies the other day. Started off as a very intriguing film, then what is actually quite a remarkable story became very unremarkable. It eventually descended into a half-cocked attempt at a heart-warming end and the very last scene had me reaching for the sick bucket.

Completely agree Batch.

I've watched few recently:

American Sniper - great
Lone Survivor  - very good
Kajaki - very good
Spectre - dross
Terminator Genisys - enjoyable
Adjustment Bureau - gave up due to outside influences
Star Wars 4,5,6 & 7 - All very good but ESB remains a firm favourite
Zootropolis (thanks kids) - watchable but typical Disney
Black Sea -  watchable
Jurassic World - another re-hash but very well done
Kingsman - very good

Luckily Will Smith (The Thick of It) supported so it wasn't a completely wasted evening.

I bloody love Robin Ince.

I think there's quite a solid argument that Smerch toned down a lot of Ricky's stuff and that's why they worked so well together. At least Merchant hasn't become a bully though, as FH said.

Then again as a die hard Partridge fan I was pleasantly surprised by Alpha Papa. It wasn't perfect, but it didn't make me vomit blood. So I will try and keep an open mind ;)

I heard they're doing a second Alan Partridge film.. I would normallybe skeptical, but Coogan is a genius, so if it happens, I'm all for it.

I think that's why the first one wasn't so bad as these things often are, they retained the basic writing staff (Coogan, Iannucci, the brothers whose name I can't bring to mind right now.) so as long as that continues I can't see why the next film won't be enjoyable.

Gervais is a pure bellend, he's not funny. Every character is himself, save for maybe Derek, but I only managed about 5 minutes of that out of curiosity before he made my piss boil. This shit about his film, and actually releasing the album of music his 'character' has created, its crap. When an unfunny failed musician plays an unfunny failed musician, where are the character boundaries?

It possibly didn't help that I had to watch it in 3D, as we don't get a choice in my local cinema. I was hoping this latest 3D fad was going to die off soon, though it doesn't appear so.

Star Trek IV. The one where they go back in time to save the humpback whales. Great film. In the top 3 Trek films. Nimoy's second best directorial effort.

They go back in time to 80's San Francisco. Fish out of water comedy prevails.

The best bit. One of the greatest bits of film of all time. Chekov has a gun (phaser, set to stun). Chekov get's caught by the American Navy. Checkov's gun doesn't go off. Genius.

Hacksaw Ridge...for me the best film this year.
Passengers.....pretty damn good after not expecting much.
That Harry potter spin-off.....what a pile of shite.

Watched Elle at the weekend. French, so subtitled, but really fucked up and good.

Re-watched Almost Famous, which I will always like. Directed by Cameron Crowe and is a semi-autobiographical tale of his early life. He actually did tour with huge bands like Led Zep, The Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd and get a Rolling Stone cover as a teenager.

Fish Tank is a good and gritty British film. Fassbender is in it, couple of years old but well worth a go.

I've got a few ready to watch next: Argo, Paterson, Snowden. Also I may watch the BFG 3D today but will get into a deeper meditative state for that.

Definitely continue to avoid Legend then! The Krays can be quite mumbly, as you are probably aware, so it'd probably aggravate your dislike of him/his performance.

Thought it was really good though, actually wasn't that keen on Hardy either until seeing it.

Dunkirk. Very good.

I really want to watch it, I'm just a little aware it might be a bit of an attack on the senses, particularly sound, which I'm a bit sensitive about. I much preferred watching Nolan's Batman films on DVD, and having heard Kenneth Branagh say that he wanted to make the audience feel they'd been through an ordeal, I think I'll wait.

Short reviews of films I've seen on planes recently...

Lion - Well made and acted but if you know the basic outline of the story, then it's all a bit obvious.

Moonlight - Not sure what the point was. Kid has difficult set of circumstances growing up. The end.

Manchester by the sea - harrowing and heartfelt, much more worthy of a best picture award.

Fences - Good drama about an imperfect man trying to do his best and failing, and the effect on his family.

Before that I watched Salvage. Apparently it was made to celebrate Liverpool being awarded city of culture status in 2008. It's still on iplayer if you like low budget, don't-think-too-much thriller/horror films.  Or you want to see Neve McIntosh's boobs.

Recently watched a few films, a couple of rewatches as my wife hadn't seen them:

I, Daniel Blake - unsurprisingly I loved this. Very powerful and precisely what I'd expected and hoped for from a Ken Loach film.

Quadrophenia - I remember thinking this was much better. It's not.

The Firm (the Alan Clarke TV film with Gary Oldman as Bex Bissell) - saw it years ago and the similarities to Quadrophenia are fascinating.

Bad Moms - surprisingly enjoyable if predictable

Sweet Sixteen - I've tried to watch it before but never found it with subtitles (wife can't understand the accents at all) and much like everything else I've seen of Ken Loach, it left me in bits. Martin Compston is excellent.

Get Out - very good, saw it as more satire and thriller than horror. A little predictable towards the end and some odd plot holes but my main annoyance was the overt Microsoft product placement

The Big Sick is on my "to see" list.

What I have seen:

Dunkirk: Probably would have enjoyed it more without the hype. It wasn't boring but it wasn't amazing, either.

Anomalisa: I must have missed something here. The only thing I really got from it is that a film with robot-puppet-character people shouldn't have such a [spoiler]long sex scene in it. [/spoiler] That's not right.

Despicable Me 3: Quite a sweet little film.

Moana: As above.

Watched 'Goon: Last of the Enforcers' a couple of days ago... I love the original. Love, love, love it. Have been hoping for many years my other half would get me a Glatt 69 jersey, to no avail. So I've not exactly gone into the second one from a neutral position, but it kinda disappointed me. Funny bits are funny, sports bits are sportsy (if rushed), fight bits are fightsy (and plentiful, and bloody) and there's a ton of cameos from current and past NHL players and enforcers... just felt like it didn't add anything to the story, to be honest.

Still gonna get a Glatt jersey though :D

That is just painful!

Thanks to StfcRusty for recommending The Big Sick, lovely little film. I was worried it might fall into standard romcom territory at points but it's just got enough wit and pathos about it to be thoroughly enjoyable.

Watched It today. Nowhere near as good as the original and could do with being at least 20 minutes shorter, but alright. A few good jumpscares and as someone who finds clowns creepy as fuck (who doesn't?) it does what it says on the tin.

I haven't seen the latest yet, but I loved the 1990 one when I watched as a teenager. I re-watched a couple of years ago and it really does show ITs age (geddit?) and the fact it was made for tv.

I'd definitely recommend reading the book if you haven't.

I know it's not an entirely original observation but the dated-ness of a horror can work in its favour too I think. It can be too easy these days to rely on special effects and be really lazy, leaving behind the stuff that is genuinely scary (like suggestion and the stuff you imagine.)

The book is brilliant, and I'm not a big fan of SK.

I'll happily keep both due to the quality of series that are produced by or made available via them, although I've finished a lot of them.

The best resource for films was and still is the LoveFilm where you get sent DVDs, their range was vast and it was extremely rare they didn't have what I wanted.  It's a bit of a ballache having to send back discs in the post mind you.

The service is closing next month which is a shame as it was the best place to get older/non mainstream films from.

Amazon bought out Lovefilm years ago, the surprise is that they didn't shut it down sooner. The streaming service included in LoveFilm wasn't as vast as the DVD side when they were bought out but then it became Prime Instant Video and you didn't get the better movies included (you have to pay additional to rent them).

Off to see it tomorrow morning in the Plaza cinema Dorchester, at £2.50 its rude not to even if it is a 30 miles drive its worth the saving as we still would have to drive to Yeovil or Taunton which is 20 miles away and £9.50 a ticket when you get there.

Completely agree. In my opinion everything they got so right with The Force Awakens the got wrong with The Last Jedi.

To me it was just a sci fi movie in space, enjoyable but not "Star Wars". Why is there a need for stupid animals ?

Was that on Sky/Netflix/Amazon or A.N Other?

I found myself watching iLL Manors on BBC last night (this morning). Was expecting a Kidulthood/Adulthood type film but this was much more raw and honest (pretty uncomfortable at times). Showing the gritty side to life in the underground British Urban crime/gang scene. None of it is truly organised other than playing at it and is reaction done on impulse and emotion. It follows six character plots that are all interlinked and eventually come to a head with the main two. Less violently acted but kudos to Riz Ahmed who plays the believable Aaron (a guy orphaned at birth, trying to escape the life he's grown up in) and Ryan De La Cruz playing Jake (a boy who suffers the consequences of peer pressure in a tense environment), both are much less hammy than some of the other characters. Also a nice cameo from John Cooper Clarke. Some of the rap/written word narration is a bit annoying with overkill but all in all, it's not a terrible first feature from Plan B.

It wasn't until I looked that it's about six years since it's release. Still, decent little British film and a snip at £100k.

Saw it at the cinema and at the end I scored it a 2/10. Although I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days afterwards, to the point I’m actually looking forward to watching it again.

It wasn’t a horror in the slightest, but the marketing bods did a good job getting bums on seats selling it as that.

I've seen all 3 and you definitely shit out there I'm afraid.  BlackKkKlansman and American Animals are both really, really good and I'd really recommend them both.  American Animals isn't getting much exposure but it's great

I went to Menin Gate, Ypres battlefields and Coming World Remember Me last month, mostly because my Grat Uncle was killed there in November 1914 at the first battle of Ypres, humbling indeed and to say it moving is too small a word to describe it.

Coogan is a great actor, on the quiet (no pun).

Agree though, Laurel & Hardy gives the basis for many genius comedic sketches since, with clever timing and choreography. Something the likes of the Two Ronnies took and expanded on greatly in a more recent era. To a certain extent, the Chuckle Brothers were good (albeit underrated) at this too, yet ironically were never taken seriously enough to be considered "funny".

People can say what they like about slapstick, and I'm not it's biggest fan but it will always be an integral building block to comedy and I'm sure you (and some others here) know that much more than I.

That is an indicator for great film. No preconceived ideas about how the film may be delivered or perceived. I understand the need in film for "advertising" their stars but I kind of wish they didn't. We may less jump on the hype of a particular film because of who it is written, directed and starring, and unearth some great performances from films considered "lesser".

The founder (prime) - about the rise of the McDonalds franchise. I found it really good, I mean on the face of it, it sounds dull. But it wasn't. And as I had no idea how it came about it was fascinating. Can't really say any more because if you know the story, it'll be pointless watching it!

Watched "The Favourite" after hearing all the hype, also as I Quite enjoy Olivia Colman normally.

Pretty shit IMO mostly about Queen Ann being a lesbian and the favourite is a battle between her 2 lesbian lovers as to who is the queens favourite for a bit of "tongue action" (as the film itself calls it).

Massively over rated by critics and a waste of nearly 2 hours watching with a rubbish ending.

Murder on the Orient Express with Albert Finney as Poirot. I felt a bit lost at first but it was fantastic when it all came together.

Also the Avicii documentary on the iPlayer is excellent. The music is pretty horrendous but his craftsmanship is incredible. He was a music producer and DJ and the doc shows him from bedroom to stadium, whilst he gets into social anxiety and alcoholism as a coping mechanism. It's tragic but the story and journey rapidly develop as he blows up and there are some great moments, like Nile Rodgers working with him and waxing lyrical about his musical ability being on a par with MJ. And when he's doing a song with Chris Martin and Avicii asks him what he thinks of his new tweaks to the track, Martin just turns round flabbergasted, "Dude, you're SO talented!", and Avicii shyly laughs. He died at 28, did himself in with a red wine bottle in a hotel room in Oman.

I liked Joker too. Very well acted,  more characterisation than action but not in a boring way.

Well it is a characterised drama so there's no surprise but Joaquin Phoenix continues with the gritty dark elements, left by the wonderfully acted Joker, Heath Ledger. Scott Silver co-writes a compelling story in this standalone picture, which probably focuses on more real-to-life and relating issues for the viewer.

The two though should not really be compared. When David Goyer wrote about the Joker in the comics and more so later in The Dark Knight, you could tell there was always a freedom within that erratic, exhausting, schizophrenic version. The character could have done anything and it would've likely worked. Much credit there lies with Ledger. That version of the Joker was already at his most developed and sinister insanity. Ready made if you must.

In Silver's version, Joker is an adaptation of his origins from The Killing Joke and as stated explores more relatable areas. Maybe it feels more real to us but Phoenix delivers a believable performance - we could all be the Joker.

With quick reference to the Jared Leto personification, this again was a much different Joker. More akin to the comic book style. Not as believable or shocking, like Phoenix or Ledger but one could argue, Leto stays true to the image of the comic book character portrayal. However, he is being a bit of a bitch about the latest portrayal so he can go further down the list of "Jokers 101"

In Joker we have a dedicated characterisation, as opposed to a supporting character within a feature (The Dark Knight, Suicide Squad). How accurate do any of these and others line up to Red Hood? Well we probably can't really be one to judge. A great line from the perfidious jester just about sums it up; "Sometimes I remember one way, sometimes another...if I'm going to have a past, I prefer multiple choice!"

I give Joker the benefit of it's critics. In a standalone sense, I give it about a 7.2/10 Red Good.

Had a bit of a film fest over the last couple of evenings;


Yesterday - was OK but a bit meh, had Lily JAmes in it, is there nothing she isn't in at the moment.

Peterloo - I had looked forward to watching it but it was a little bit stereotypes and caricatured, rich people bad with no empathy, all the workers salt of the earth types who would give their last piece of bread for their fellow man. Must confess if didn't grab me, although knowing the history in advance probably didn't help as there were no shocks in it (apart possibly from Rory Kinnears Wiltshire accent!)

Arctic - Was surprisingly good for a film with no dialogue, Mads Mikkelsen was fantastic as always whilst the lass in it spent an hour and a half laid on a stretcher not saying anything, which I suspect will not be her most onerous role.

With the little one and Christmas coming up we have A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon to look forward to!

That's understandable. It's ridiculous and a bit of a mess. The fact I've watched it in 3 sittings (so far) has probably helped numb Bay's attempts at conducting audio-visual warfare.

1917 is really good, with lots of twists and at just under 2 hours is well worth a watch.

Bad Boys for life is a good watch if you liked the first 2, if you haven't seen the other 2 then the story might be very confusing.

Also worth watching are The Gentleman, Hugh Grant is really funny and Charlie Hunnam is also really good; JoJo Rabbit is worth a watch as well

Bad Boys and Gentleman are on my list.

Off topic, has anyone watched the tv show L.A's Finest? Its a spin off from Bad Boys but with 2 female leads one of which is Marcus Burnett's (Martin Lawrence) sister. Its pretty good.

I like him in Inglorious Basterds for this very reason. Even though it's very much a tongue in cheek (literally) role. You're right though, he played an excellent "Irish Pikey" in Snatch. A lot of the performances in Snatch were really good. Lennie James in that too I believe. He's a cracking British actor.

Thanks for the reminder. Keep meaning to watch that. Stephen Graham is great too (just don't let him play a Welshman  :soapy tit wank: ). I've liked a lot of stuff Lennie James is in. TWD of course but he transitions from film to TV so well. You always believe him or the character he's portraying. Whether that's down to being selective with certain directors and writers must be part of it but he delivers really well.

I did similar (fairly) recently, and watched it for the first time since it came out (or I downloaded it just after). I thought the opposite, that it had aged really well!

Never really thought the people not having kids needed an explanation. It not only fits really well into a sort of canon of the stiff upper lip british cosy(ish) semi-post-apocalyptic fascism, not too far away from a John Wyndham classic, but still seemed relevent under a brexity shadow of a misdirected empire hangover that only the British can do.

I honestly thought that some of the way it was shot, although not looking bad, had sort of aged badly because it's been done to death. All that post-private-ryan shakey cam bullets feel like video games more than movies now. I do remember the scene with the baby crying still holding up though.

Sorry blah blah blah.

It wasn't people not being able to have kids that I struggled with, it was why one new baby was important? Presumably the Human Project were to try and understand how it was possible and replicate it, but that doesn't explain it as a threat to the regime, or how the other group would use it to start an uprising. I'm normally happy enough to not have things completely laid out for me or for things to be left open ended. For some reason this one just frustrates me.

Don't apologise, really decent observation. I'm with you in the sense of the shaky cam stuff. I don't need a camera movement like that to feel like I'm with the character etc. Some pictures require it a la Private Ryan and even Cloverfield. The first Blair Witch (that divided opinion) kind of required it, plus everyone was aware that it was pretty low budget.

Personally I'm a fan of some classic cinematography, good use of natural light, haunting stills. The type of stuff that evokes suspense. Along with a good soundtrack/score to boot.

I'm a few ciders deep at this point so sorry if I get rambly, this his made me think a bit though, which I appreciate!

The British state as it is in Children of Men is straight up Owellian. The power and control comes from the crisis, take away the crisis, those in power lose their control. It's not a particularly original idea, but it never really seems to lose it's relevance. The "Britain keeps on going" (or something like that - been a while) and other background propaganda you see throughout really is full on 1984 "we've always been at war with Eurasia" - not so much because it matters to the story if it's true or not (it doesn't in 1984 either) - but because it's telling the people that however much we take away from you, if you reject it, you'll be left with less. It's the idea that the rest of the world has gone feral, but Britain is better, and the rules and order are better than the alternative. All that power goes if people start having children again, would those at the top give up that power if there was an opportinity for a better life for the majority? (cheat answer: no)

You never find out if the Human Project is any better, but I don't think that's really the point. From the start our main man CliveyOwen has friends both high up in the ruling elite and with the militant rebels. He's not picking a side between the two, he's rejecting both. He finds no safety with the rebels, they are on the same side of the coin as the government, instead he's reluctantly left with no choice other than the alternative. Will it be better than the proto-fascist state we see? We never get to find out.

SorryI missed out my relevence conclusion.

Our main man - reluctantly and through events - choses the dream of a benign technocrany over the politics of power, even though very little of his experience shows that the former actually exists. Do we give up striving for something better because we don't think humanity is capable of it? If we do then we aren't.

Interesting thoughts, thanks. I could see the how the birth could be used as propaganda(it's even suggested that the regime would give the child to a black British woman), I just struggled to see how it would make the huge difference as was alluded to. I find that part a cop out to be honest, although I do tend to expect a lot from things! I'm a big Orwell fan as well, so ashamed to admit I hadn't picked up on the background details particularly.

I normally like things that are left hanging too, so I would have been content with the ending if there was a little more detail about the Human Project. Even a vague idea would have let my mind travel a bit. The ending made me think of Tsotsi(for me a much better but lower rated film), and how it ends abruptly without answers but left a debate raging in your mind.

Somewhat late, I got round to watching Rise of Skywalker.

Wow. I'm not much of a contrarian but I think that might be the worst film ever made. Obviously it's beautifully shot, well acted, the music is brilliant and objectively it's well made, but considering the inputs that it has it's awful. Like, the script is embarrassingly bad and almost all the narrative choices are utterly unambitious.

I think the best metaphor I can give is when a band with a really great debut album do a second album which is a bit experimental, bit of a tonal change and get a bunch of criticism for it who then go back to everything safe for their third album and sell out. It did everything short of playing Wonderwall to try and send everyone home happy...

I've been a big fan of Saturday Night Live, U.S. stand-up and comedy scene for as long as I can remember and I must say that I've never really 'got' Pete Davidson. His back story is obviously very sad and comedically he has his moments but I can't see how his schtick will last.

That said a starring role in an Apatow film, six years and counting on SNL plus a Netflix Special just shows what I know. Nothing.

His Netflix special was not good though.

Can't say I'm a big fan of LAC or Peppermint. You're right though, they are very similar and clichey but in a very blehh kind of way. Still, they are much better than Mechanic: Resurrection. How I put myself through nearly 2hrs of Jason Statham's constipation face, I've no idea.  If ever there was a pointer, to a sell out cash grab then this the biggest kipper ever.

Interestingly (or not), Statham is from just up the road from my area and one thing I do agree with him on is that Stunt Artists should get recognition at awards ceremonies. But then he'd have a few Oscars. Probably.

How did you enjoy Peppermint by the way?  :soapy tit wank:

What I find amazing is that Stephen King only released the book in 2013 and then the film was released in 2019. Meaning it's likely they were working on the film probably only about 4 years after the book came out. It's testament to King but also I would imagine when starting writing his Shining sequel that he was already in cahoots with Mick Flanagan.

Managed to find a watchable copy of the new Mortal Kombat film. If you enjoyed playing the games as a kid, you have to watch it. Some great homage to the original games, incredible, well choreographed fight scenes and fatalities like you've never seen before.
Questionable acting at times, but i wouldn't have it any other way. Well worth watch.

Saw a trailer for that the other and was leaning toward the nostalgia element (rather than the acting). I remember I felt very much the same way about Street Fighter when that was coming out...peak 90s cheese fest, with Kylie fucking Minogue iirc! I see Sky are showing it at present too. The film must now be about 25years young? Chun-Li should've been played by Lucy Liu though.

I tend to just watch "Big Trouble in Little China" on loop if I feel like seeing some good action combined with a nuts storyline and some questionable acting but it lacks on the gore department - it's more like "Monkey" on steroids. Except Monkey was quality :D

Back to the new Mortal Kombat picture, I think the trouble with the likes of MK and SF, it's generally quite difficult to extract a good plot or story from a bunch of characters that don't really have any background - because they simply are platform CPU fighters. It'd be similar if they did it with Soul Blade/Calibur or even TEKKEN. The struggle is, if you stay too close to the computer game, it's going to have no depth...if you veer too far from it people (die hards) will criticise because it doesn't relate or stay true to the game.

I'll probably give it a bash and will try to remind myself that it isn't meant to be a great film but pure nostalgic fun. Nice to see that it's not gone down the SF route though of shipping in every "current" super famous person and hoping it works. At least they've given some others a go for once.

As for other computer-to-film franchises, I'd love to see the concept of Eternal Darkness (of GameCube fame) as a film. Resident Evil kind of got it right sometimes but tended to veer away from the RE story too far. For me though, the one that got it knob on (or as close as) was Silent Hill; even right down to the vomit inducing fear of the ever closening Pyramid Head.

My track record with films has been pretty decent of late so was only natural to pull out a duff.

Watched Game Over, Man. last night, staring Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson. I watched it based on me really enjoying the series Workaholics which they were in but boy was i wrong.

It wasn't bad to the point where it was unwatchable, and there were some genuine laughs but overall, was quite cringe especially the overuse of cameos such as Shaggy, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Action Bronson, Joe McHale and Mark Cuban.

5/10

True story, my sister was a massive Schumacher fan and she used to get paddock passes to Silverstone. As she wandered through, Schumacher came out of a building and got onto a moped in front of her. She was so shocked all she could do was touch his shoulder as she said "Michael" before she burst into tears. She didn't even get an autograph.

Went to see the new Bond yesterday. Enjoyed it, although it was far too long. I thought it was a very good action film but not enormously Bond-y - if I was more emotionally invested in Bond I could imagine not having liked it very much.

Yes, impossible to discuss without spoilers, but I enjoyed it. If you've liked the Craig era, it's a fitting closure of his tenure, if you didn't like Casino Royal/Skiffle/ 1/2 of Spectre you likely will struggle with it.

I reckon it will be Rege-John Page - the dude from Bridgerton

I think they are stuck between a rock and a hard place on who to go for next - if they choose a man there will be those having a pop for not choosing a woman, if it's either but white that will be knocked and if they go for a black woman for the main role there will be uproar.

I wonder if they could retire the 007 and have a branch off for the next one dipping into various other 00's?  Gives the opportunity to test all the waters and continue the existing story arc.  Ana de Armas' cameo was great fun for example, I know she was CIA but it shows it could be done.  Usually the next Bond is pretty much a full reset.

aside: How do people think of James Bond?

A different actor playing the same person.

Or that the name and 007 are a 'legend' used by several agents over time as their alias.

The latter doesn't really make sense I suppose given it would be pretty bloody obvious to every evil corporation and villain. Then again, they all seem to know who and what Bond is anyway.

Broccoli has already come out and said it won't be a woman - James Bond is a male character and will stay that way, however they have introduced a strong black female character as another agent in the new film, so I think it's more likely that Bond will stay male and they will perhaps have a spin off that focuses on the female agent.

It's no different to Lara Croft or Wonder woman being traditional female roles, they should never look at changing them to male characters so it makes no sense to change Bond - just because a character is historically one sex doesn't mean everytime that it has to change just to fit the current narative.  Introducing other characters to the world, changing their race or even sexuality is something that they can and will no doubt look at though.

Post by: RobertT on Friday, October 15, 2021, 13:40:43
It seems improbable that there would be another James Bond in the current run without that being an origin story.  I'm talking about continuing the story not James Bond - I don't think they use his name in the current film titles, so you could move the story in a new direction with James Bond being forever in the background (like the picture of the previous M in the office at MI6).

I certainly do not think you can have James Bond as Jamie.

Personally I don't want a female Bond or a black Bond or any other race/nationality at all, thats not racist its just thats how he is portrayed in the books how Fleming wanted him and I would rather stay close to the original character.

Thats not saying a woman or other race Bond wouldnt be good its just I want it kept as the book intended, nothign more nothing less.

I must admit I have liked Craig far more as Bond that I ever thought I would, too many others have been too flimsy or frivolous in their portrayal of him, Craig is far closer to the origins.

Just my personal take.

People hated Craig for being blonde when he was cast because it wasn't the 'right' look. What matters is that the films are any good. Idris Elba would have been brilliant but he's probably too old for the role now.

I'm sure whoever it does end up being will generate plenty of anger from some quarter before they even record a frame of film.

Elba is 49 and Craig 53. I think Elba would make a great bond and could just about do age wise. It will be really interesting where they take the next movie.

I felt the same when they cast Elba as Roland in the hideous Dark Tower movie. That character was Clint Eastwood in my mind and so I wanted him cast similarly.

Having said that I don’t have an affinity for the Bond character that I did for Roland so changing it up wouldn’t personally bother me at all. And as it happens, It like to see the next Bond be played by…wait for it…

Idris Elba. Think he’s smash it

As a Wittertainment listener, their 'WTF - What's that film' feature has had me thinking about a film I watched on Sky in the early 00's, a Blair Witch-ish found footage film about a family meal getting interupted by aliens and the family disappearing one by one, searched for it maybe 10 years ago to no avail... was mid-email to the show, before I thought I'd better have one last check... no trailers on Youtube, nothing came up when searching other than a 2014 film called Alien Abduction... until I stumbled across a horror site that had a '30 years since...' kinda article, turns out it predated Blair Witch, was a TV movie and had the same kinda effect that BBC's 'Ghostwatch Live!' had, loads of people thought it was real.

COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!  I have read the books many times, Fleming did not write the character as a women or black man.  Not everything has to be changed to go with the "times". 

Craig was great but as for character honestly I think Lazenby did a pretty good job....his acting was shit but the way they shot movies during that time period was shit for me.  he had the look and just the right amount of mean.

Then again thought Spectre was pretty meh as well (biggest insult to that is that my missus who loves Bond films has never managed to stay awake watching Spectre which is most unlike her).

As for who the next Bond is, who knows, its a fictional character and will no doubt be a reboot so pretty blank canvas to work with.

Finally our new cinema is opening on Friday. I've booked up to see Belfast on Saturday night. Bonus being that it's fully licensed so we will be able to enjoy a glass of wine or 2 during the film.

Talking of Branagh, Death on the Nile was verging on self indulgent nonsense and an hour too long (it's a murder mystery in which the murder happens 70 minutes in) but was a fun ride all the same. The moustache origin story prologue (I am not joking) was particularly silly. Haven't seen Belfast but suspect it might be a superior effort!

Long way behind the times but watched the second Kingsman film the other night which was pretty good.

Also watched Broken Arrow for the 400th time over the weekend, got to thinking you don't seem to be able to watch Top Gun anywhere and its never on the telly, any ideas why?

That's probably why it's not on - fleece a few quid out of people that want to watch it ahead of the release of Maverick. It has been available on Sky numerous times over the past year, especially when they did their Tom Cruise special.

TBF I agree with NMH I just dont get Cruise as an actor, very over rated IMO.

Another over rated actor is Nicholas Cage, don't get me wrong I love his films but he only plays Nicholas Cage, he can't act.

It was the 80's - if you were watching it for the acting then you missed a trick.  80's movies are all about enjoying them for what they were.

I like Tom Cruise, but I don't like watching him for his acting skills, I like watching him because he makes good movies..

I think Robert Pattinson is going to surprise a few with his performance.  A lot of people have been slating the idea of him as Bruce Wayne purely off his Twilight performance (which was about 700 yrs ago).

All I will say is, if Zac Efron can go from playing "god awful" Troy Bolton in High School Musical to playing a "very convincing" Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil & Vile (I'm still not sold on the title) then Robert Pattinson can go from playing "constantly smouldering" Edward to playing a "Dark, split personality (that's what they are saying) vigilante" Bruce Wayne then bring it on!

Matt Reeves has been getting a much more refined filmmaker and I have a great feeling about this picture. When you add in that Rogue One & Zero Dark Thirty Cinematographer, Greig Fraser is involved you know Gotham is going to look stunning. I imagine it will have that similar gritty underbelly that both Lawrence Sher (Joker) and the legendary Wally Pfister :sniggers: (Dark Knight) brought to these films.

Lately I've watched Jackass Forvever, King Richard, and The Father. All great in different ways.

Anthony Hopkins is really doing great things at the moment. I took a while to get around to The Two Popes, but he was fantastic in that and resumes the same form in The Father with Olivia Coleman. I like that the character he plays is called 'Anthony' too. A very sad and vital portrayal of dementia.

Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Wednesday, April 6, 2022, 20:36:17
Absolutely. Mentioned on here myself a while back I think and watched it several years ago when I happened to be introduced to one of the Producers by a friend.

Intouchables was dubbed shares some similarities with 'My Left Foot' but it is so much more than that. The notion of disability really are where the similarities of the movies end. A completely compelling story of true adversity and indifference, whilst evoking so much genuine emotion; coupled with a gorgeous score from my personally favourite living classicist - Ludovico Einaudi.

For me, it is quite possibly one of the greatest French pictures - maybe even one of my top five films of all time. Without preaching, we can all learn a lot from Intouchables; especially when it comes to finding common ground with our fellow human and more so, learning something new from one another - even at times what may seem our greatest enemy can ultimately be our biggest ally.

Other good Tom Cruise films:

Minority Report
Magnolia

People rave about Edge of Tomorrow but it wasn't for me, nor Mission Impossible. Amazing that he does all the stunts himself and some are totally crazy. Eyes Wide Shut is a Kubrick one that also got good ratings. I've not seen Top Gun; original or new one.

Quite, not really due to the genre but more location. AQOTWF was filmed mostly in Prague with a predominantly European (mainland) cast and a good chunk of BoD was shot in Yorkshire.

Possibly a walk-on or featured role in both. I'll have to ask them.

I personally don't think AQOTWF is that great an adaptation. Good film - poor adaptation. I can still appreciate both flips of the coin in this respect. If it wasn't an adaptation from a German classic then without a doubt it's a superb picture but it is and adaptation and I feel it failed in key parts to adapt in the right moments.

Interesting reading here in that regard - German critics haven't taken to it as well as the RoW critics have.

Apologies for repeating myself but Banshees of Inisherin was partly filmed in Achill Island, which is where Mrs Bob is from. Her and the in-laws didn't really enjoy the film but they obviously appreciated the scenery. Initially when I came out of the cinema I thought it was bizarre but having been to Achill Island a lot, it is a place where you could actually believe what happened in the film could take place, even now. I've seen it myself where her family members literally have fuck all else to do apart from go and get wasted in the pub. Amazingly stunning but bleak part of the world though.

Watched about 50% of All Quiet on the Western Front the other night after the other half went to bed.

I can understand why it has won a shed loads of awards as the filming and effects are brilliant, and it was interesting to see the tale told from the other side for a change (just emphasising that the lions led by donkeys and the way it fucked up a whole generation narrative can be applied to all sides in war), but the story didn't really seem to be anything particularly different to a plethora of similar films I have watched over the years.

 Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley are great in it. As is Ian ''Lovejoy'' McShane. You'll probably really love Kingsley as Don Logan and never forget the phrases;

'Look at your suntan, it's leather, it's like leather man, your skin. We could make a fucking suitcase out of you. Like a crocodile, fat crocodile, fat bastard. '
or
'...Deedee's still got a fan club. They meet up every month. The Wednesday Wank they call it. They're in big demand nowadays, those films. She's very popular. Very popular. You seen 'em? I've seen 'em. What a stain on your life. All the Persil in the world couldn't shift it. She's disgusting.'

1. Boiling Point - Stephen Graham as a stressed out chef. All shot in one take; very impressive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBUfCL_tvro

2. I Love My Dad - comedy with a bit of drama, about a Dad who, out of desperation to resurrect their relationship, catfishes his own son. Great performances from the two leads.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__FXp-MiY1o

3. The Banshees of Inisherin - had to see what the hype was about. It was pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F282Yy743Vk

4. The Lost Daughter - Olivia Coleman is brilliant in everything she does and I really enjoyed the tension and chaos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNq9YOfL0Zs

5. The Menu - Ralph Fiennes does swanky restaurant horror.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx55Rkynhtk

6. Triangle of Sadness - crazy and brilliant

So, the defence I've heard of that film is that Warner Brothers said to the Wachowski's that a Matrix follow up was being made wether they were onboard or not, so Lana Wachowski came on board and basically made it an inside reference that they were making a bad sequel on purpose as a 'fuck you' to WB. How true that is, I don't know, but the film is fucking rubbish.

That would certainly explain the first 40 minutes, which is more or less just... making that joke (to the point of literally naming Warner Bros in the script!). If that was what they were aiming for, it certainly achieved the goal.

The only positive I'll say is at least they didn't do the usual action reboot think of binning off Carrie Ann-Moss for a younger actress.

Barbie has already made it to streaming, sort of watched it the other night, I'm really not the target audience (and I would suggest my 10 year old daughter wasn't either) but its well put together and I think pretty good.

I enjoyed the Blade Runner sequel. 30 mins too long but still fantastic.

Dune was pretty good for a big budget epic.

Also enjoyed Living and Women Talking, but much less spectacular.

I know this will spark an outcry and a possible hunting down of me, but I liked it better than the first, at least production quality wise.  I also thought the score was better, which I know is akin to committing treason to say.  As much as I hate to say, it made me think a remake of the original might be a worthy endeavour.  And to be clear, I loved the original - just thought the sequel was a bit edgier

The score? THE SCORE? Vangellis wrote beautiful music for the original and it really adds to the whole atmosphere and feel of the film.

As for a remake of the original- NO! Very few remakes improve a film and Blade Runner is a classic that should be left well alone.

How long has it been since a really good film came about?

Been nothing but crap generated for years.

Hidden Figures was a cracking film. First Man also. Bit of a NASA theme going on here for me I think.....

Don't go messing with the cult of Blade Runner - I knew what I was in for to be fair.  You are right, it would be badly done and not improve on the original, but I just want the original with modern day production quality.  And yes, Vangellis created a stunning score, I just love me a bit of Zimmer, especially when it's his less cheesy stuff.  I'm probably just poking the bear a little if I am being honest.

While we are on sci-fi, one of my worst moments of reviewing a film was Arrival.  I watched it on a plane, and in hindsight I was likely very drunk as well.  I proceeded to tell my brother I couldn't really get into it and found it a bit dull.  He argued I was insane.

I gave it a second go on a big TV and sober, it was crazy good.

Amazing what your personal state can do to how you receive a film (in this instance, I am sure I dozed off in my original attempt because entire new scenes appeared on second viewing!).

Similar but different was Southland Tales, which has two different versions.  Almost the same but with extreme changes in the ending.  The shit one was the one I watched, the good one the one my brother watched.  We argued for some time before relaising the issue.

Probably American Pie films, Monty Python etc.  I tend to re-watch comedies - they are always funny, whereas far better films rely on not knowing every second of every scene.  So I tend to watch them far less often, to keep them nice and new for the next time.

Not sure if this is on UK Netflix but a film has just been put on called Simon.

Its about the political unrest in Venezuela and my girlfriend who was involved in all of that says its chillingly accurate
