Watched Babel last night with Brad Pitt, thought it was absolutely brilliant.
Wow, did he come round to yours?
The Beginners (Ewan McGregor). Check it out.
Thanks, I'm very proud of that one ;-)
Just saw the new Planet of the Apes movie, amazing!
just re-watched to live and die in l.a.: william friedkin from '85
excellent film, world class car chase and soundtrack
I watched "Under the Skin" last night. It's damn fine, really European in it's slow, unconclusive and enigmatic way and to top it all, we get to see Scarlett J in the buff.
just finished watching capt. phillips, pretty intense, solid cast. what i didnt get is why these huge cargo ships dont have a soldier or two on deck to protect them against such. one person with a gun would be capable of defending against such an attack. instead they are on their own and then need to get rescued. does not compute.
Just watching Barbarella on the telly, I can't decide whether i should post it in the good or crap movie thread.
So bad it's good!
Last night we watched The Great Beauty on Curzon Home Cinema. A fabulous and exquisitely filmed movie set in, or rather featuring, Rome and very much in the tradition of Fellini with an absolutely superb soundtrack; you will be rewarded if you have good sound and a big screen. A good performance from Tony Servillo.
In darkness. Its on the iPlayer atm.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
American Hustle. Well acted, great fun
Guardians of the galaxy - just watched it and really enjoyed it.
super
2010 superhero film, not like kick ass though. super funny and very violent, it's close to perfect
If there is a crap movie thread, you can put Green Lantern in it, watched it last night, "meh" of the first degree.
Prisoners with Hugh Jackman - well worth a watch.
Watching it now. The RV driver looks as I'd imagine HoneyFB
If you like action films and like old Jase, cracker.
Watched expendables 3 at a charity preview last night through work.
Not as good as the second one.......
Guardians of the Galaxy - agreed, it's excellent!
Good story/characters, great SFX, good script and FUNNY!! :)
Lone survivor (2013) ...OMG 2 hours of my life gone....2/10
Yep, total crap!!!!!
However I have just watched the railway man which I thought was pretty good.
Mike
Over the weekend;
Dallas Buyers Club - good show
Just Go With It - usual Adam Sandler brilliance
We watched the White Ribbon by Michael Haneke last night (Das Weisse Band). A very well made film in Haneke's almost trademark discomforting style. For this can you can read that it's fairly grim; think Heimat with all the cheerfulness and optimism sucked out. Other than the storyteller I don't think there is a character with any redeeming features - by this I mean that the characters are extremely well drawn, just that they're all sh;ts. Uncomfortable but worthwhile viewing.
Another plus 1 for Guardians. Really enjoyed it, nothing too cerebral but great entertainment done really well.
I can't believe you have used 'Adam Sandler' and 'brilliance' in the same sentence. :)
But I suppose SOMEONE must like his dire 'comedies' - and here you are!! ;)
well got round to watching it last night, and wow, much better than the first movie. Thicker story line, with more intense fighting scenes, at 2 and a half hours long, it went in a flash.
That old Tom Cruise & Paul Newman one "Color of Money", watched it again after many years, it's still entertaining. The old dear sitting near me on the train in Zurich seemed to approve as well.
Get out. Now!

Watched Jack Ryan, Shadow Recruit last night. Wasn't bad.
Guardians of the Galaxy. Went with my bro and his young lad to the cinema for this
Really enjoyed it.......pretty damn funny. The whole tone kind of reminded me of The 5th Element
Really?!! I may have to check this out after all.Guardians of the Galaxy. Went with my bro and his young lad to the cinema for this

Saw Captain Phillips over the weekend. The premise seems pretty boring but I really enjoyed it. Tom Hanks does a great job.
Guardians Of The Galaxy was fantastic! Really, really fun and wonderful to look at.
Another for Captain Phillips.
I assume the water cannon scene was accurate to real life but the whole thing could have been avoided with manned cannons with protective shields.
Still a great film and very moving in the sick bay with Tom Hanks after his rescue.
Another +1 for Guardians Of The Galaxy! I'm pretty sick of superhero movies, but there's definetely something fresh about this one. Looks great as well - a little bit of The Fifth Element about it IMO.
Yep thats exactly what thought
I've just bought 2001: A Space Odyssey from Google Play for my phone and tablet.
One of my top ten films of all time.
Just finished watching 'The Wolf of Wall Street' with her indoors.
Well scripted, good acting, few moments where i wished I'd secretly been a millionaire surrounded by strippers in my mid twenties (note - hid this from the missus).
Felt it could have been trimmed a little, but overall, solid film worth a watch.
The first movie I ever fell asleep while watching, aged around 8, not seen it since.
My 17 year-old son and I just watched "Get On Up" today, the James Brown story. We both found it to be EXCELLENT!
Holy sh just watched this!
I N T E N S E !
Be prepared for 3 hours of sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails!
Just watched Stephen Frear's 1984 'The Hit'. Actually profound.
I hate to admit to it but after avoiding Friends with Benefits, I actually really enjoyed it on the TV last night.
I still find it hard to see Timberlake as an actor, but I'm slowly coming round to the appeal of Kunis
My 17 year-old son and I just watched "Get On Up" today, the James Brown story. We both found it to be EXCELLENT!
Glad to hear it was a good watch. Does it go right up to his death?
I believe Mick Jagger had something to do with its production.
Cheers,
Neil.
The film covers his entire lifetime, but doesn't depict his actual death. Jagger was one of the producers, and performed at some of the same events as Brown early in their respective careers.
Like others have said above. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend. What a superb film, I have very little bad to say of the film. It was well paced, very funny and had the right amount of action.
It very much reminded me of the 2 Hellboy films. I guess it was a sort of Avengers meets Hellboy.
^^ amen to that
Cheers.
Yes, Jagger is a massive JB fan.
Cheers,
Neil.
Ive enjoyed this clive owen perfect bank robbery movie and enjoyed it from start to finish

I watched Watchmen again the other night... it was very good, but had some weird animation in it about pirates that I don't remember from the last time - I think it may be some cut other than the theatrical one - was 3 hours 35 minutes long!
