Seen any good Films lately?

At the cinema? On DVD? On TV? On...err....VHS?

I saw 'Warrior' last week at the cinema. AMAZING FILM! I think its in the running for some Oscars. Its about a UFC Fighting tournament, which i know nothing nor care about anyway, but the story is so good. Well acted, and quite emotional. Highly recommend it.

I also watched 'Frozen' the other week on DVD. That was very good too. About 3 people who get stuck on a Ski Lift, and left there. Pretty tense film, had one scene which nearly made my balls go up into my stomach from wincing

I'm not good at films - I usually fall asleep I went to the cinema last week, first time since Slumdog, and saw Tinker Tailor etc. That was quite good - Gary Oldman was amazing.

I can't wait to see We Must Talk About Kevin

I watched 'Buried' the other week, it's basically Ryan Reynolds in a box for 90 minutes, but it's so well done, really tense stuff! Reminded me of an Alfred Hitchcock-style slow burning thriller in some ways.

The only time I ever go to the cinema is with the kids. I am way too excited about seeing The Lion King in 3d next week, the kids aren't fussed but it's a special film for me because 1) It was the first time I'd been to the 'cinema' 2) I was in America at the time and 3) It was a drive-in!! I was amazed, I was only a kid but it was one of the most exciting parts of my trip.

I'm off to the cinema this week with my best mate and nothing looks any good

10/4/1111:38 AM

RexiMember 10 years

Ells - Lion King is my favourite film of all time, it makes me cry every time I see it.

I saw it on stage in London - a great experience, but nowhere near as good as the film.

I shall be going to see it in 3D - but without children, as they are all grown up now.

Bet I still cry

Ella & rexi, I love the lion king too! As a kid I cassette tape recorded the film off video (cassette player sitting next to the tv

) And listened to it when I couldn't use the VCR. I cried every time

I enjoyed both of them recently too. I watched the Star Trek film which was on 4 this evening and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. For anyone who didn't see it, it's the one where they get young actors to play the original cast and tell how they all met.

We hired "Harry brown" at the weekend; Michael Cain stars a former marine pensioner who turns vigilante when the local youths on his estate murder his buddy. He messes up the druggies & the hoodies and pretty much gets away with it

Certainly thought provoking, but in future I'd prefer to keep to my usual light hearted feature films..

You heathen - apologise forwith and henceforth !!!!

I watched HANA - it was ludicrous - it bombed at the cinema too.

Its derivitive in every way - there are squillions of femme assasin movies

She's 6 stone wet through but can wallop huge guys - and its not even fantasy to apologise for the silliness. They expect us to belive it - utter nonsense.

And to top it all - i didn't feel anything for her - her mummy died wen she was a baba and she never knew her - so where's the pain and angst that drives our interest??

Where did that come from - i had a hed rush or something!!!

Yet a film about aliens from another planet, that are numbers, is far more believable?

It did nothing new. Generic story of an alien visitor, generic special effects, laughable looking bad guys. What exactly was his dog, where did it come from, what was its purpose? Generic acting: Rawky's score 2 / 5.

Hanna was awesome, i certainly believed that she could kick ass. Its not all about pure strength you know.

Rawky-RooMember 10 years

Renton, you just proved my point by calling it a 'fantasy teen drama'.

Not my style matey, i like films that make you think and provoke emotions. The reason I am Number Four did better was because it has a character from Glee in it and it was marketed towards teenagers.

I'm a grown bloke, hence why I like grown up films from time to time.

Saz, if you end up preferring I am Number 4 to Hanna, I will disown all my apple products and revert back to becoming a PC user.

Oh and Renton, no other movies are planned (for the moment), the film actually didn't do THAT well at the box office.

I saw Van Helsing a couple of years ago. The opening scene which is a homage to the classic James Whale version of Frankenstein was brilliant. The next scenes at the Vatican were quite amusing between Van Helsing and the Vatican equivalent of Q. If the rest of the film had lived up to those opening scenes it would have been one of the best films ever made. Unfortunately the rest of the film was little other than an excuse for CGI effects.

Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesMember 10 years

I have just watched the following films (I love my films):

X-Men First Class

Visually great escapist film.

Killing Bono

A much better film than I would have imagined - recommended.

Submarine

Written by the black guy from The I.T. Crowd. Really enjoyed this film. One could say it has a coming of age element to it.

Trees Lounge

A low budget American film starring Steve Buscemi. Set in and around a bar called Trees Lounge, centering on the Buscemi character who is a bit down on his luck. I enjoy these lower budget more real life American movies.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Never seen it all the way through, but now I have. It's an oldie but a goodie, with great images from the era and a classic song by Henri Mancini. Recommended.

THX-1138

George Lucas' first film. Science Fiction from 1971. It's the re-mastered edition and as usual GL could not keep his meddling hands off it. But seeing it so many years after release does enable you to see where other film makers have been influenced. It stars Robert Duval and Donald Pleasance.

From Paris With Love

I really enjoyed this film. John Travolta was great, playing a hard but funny character, despatching the baddies with a nice little comment or joke. A film that surprised me as I thought I would be bored after reading the synopsis. My recommendation is give it a watch.

THOR

Well, I had to watch this as I am building up to the Marvel film with the characters THOR, Iron Man etc in it. Another one of those films where I sit back, turn off brain and enjoy the action. In High Def it looks great.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

I never ceased to be amazed how the graphics look so realistic they could actually be battling transforming robots in the city. Not my favourite series of films, but I enjoy the action.

Films lined up for the next week...

Bad Teacher

Captain America

Cars 2

Fargo

L.A. Confidential

Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides

The Fifth Element

Veronkia Decides to Die

The Green Lantern

I've seen both and the second is better - however

It really does have far too much going on for its own good at times. At the beginning i was totally lost and the dialogue is far too fast and mumbling.

I thought it was a mess for the first 10mins BUT ... stick with it !!!

Its a great movie, brilliant action, funny, plot is fantastic, scenery wonderful

Guy Richie and all involved shud be proud

BRAVO !!!

LADY IN BLACK

Went to see it the other day - here goes

Acting, cinematography, direction, sets and clothing are without fault.

Its the plot . . .

Hmmm lets do scary - Victorian, lonely village, spooked locals, single stranger, haunted house.

Yep - thats Lady in Black

Ok - its tense - but tension shud be short and these last forever. Very slow and predictable. Almost a "colour-by-numbers" Victorian horror - and guess who makes it . . . HAMMER - sigh

Utterly nothing new at all - why did they make it?

I watched a docu-film called 'The Bridge' the other week. Its about the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco and how so many people take their own lives jumping from it. The film crew spent a year filming it and caught so many people killing themselves.

It was oddly compelling stuff. I definitely recommend it....but don't expect a happy ending

I watched a really random film on tv the other night. I have no idea if it is well known or not but I really enjoyed it. It had the brunette out of Muriels wedding in it and the blonde welsh woman out of Gavin and Stacey. She was a singer in a welsh village... well she wasnt a singer (the Muriel wedding one) she was a baker(but she wasnt) ... but she became a singer ...at funerals.

dont know what it was called

I've got Tyrannosaur on my list, looks like it's hard going but rewarding to watch.

Everyone should watch Senna.

Recently I've seen

The King's Speech

Blue Valentine

Crazy Stupid Love

Sherlock Holmes

Harry Brown

All very good films, would recommend every single one on that list.

"Tyrannosaur" is definitely worth seeing, but you're right: it's not an easy watch...

Hard Candy was let down by the female lead being implausibly worldly and intuitive for someone who was supposed to be just 14, IMO. Made for a good story with plenty of twists and turns with Ellen Page's character turning the tables and slowly unmasking the paedo, but overall I was left with the impression of an implausible character play.

What a load of rubbish!!

Don't get me wrong - it has some merit ... the animation and some genuinely laugh out loud moments are to be commended

But laughs are thin on the ground, story is laboured and unoriginal and that's not to mention the steriotypical characters bordering on the offensive at times.

A poor show

Just finished watching TINTIN - hmmmm

I guess the first thing wrong with Tintin is that ... its Tintin

Never a universally liked/accepted cartoon series in the UK or USA (compared to the rest of Europe) it struggles to find its place in this modern remake. The modern day movie shows Capt Haddock as an alcoholic and Tintin as a 15yr old gun-totin' sleuth. Basically staying faithful to the Tintin heritage means it does not fit well in 2012.

Its neither for adults (as its too long forgotten to be popular enough to fill seats) nor has it a modern day following enough to have children rushing to see it.

Furthermore - its understanable that a cartoon wud be remade as ... a cartoon and it IS spectacular to watch but its hero is never really in peril cos its a 'cartoon' and so i doubt anyone wud have been on the edge of their seats like with Indina Jones or Pirates of the Carribean.

A strange choice for a remake that doesn't work in terms of its characters, its 'gung-ho' spirit nor for its pure entertainment pleasure in this modern day era.

Tintin needs to remain in the past.

I'm not surprised Renton, I think the thing with the original film was the use of physical materials to create the gore, which was very realistic, ground-breaking and physically repulsive in its day with effects on par with Alien.

I'm not sure why they remade it, as it was a perfect 80s sci-fi horror (along with Alien and The Fly, IMO) but will give it go when it gets to DVD.

I saw IN TIME, it was a really interesting concept(everyone stops ageing at 25 and then have one year - they have to work to buy more time so they don't die). Some intriguing issues but it could have been a lot better. Worth a watch if you like sci-fi/fantasy Matrix type stuff.

I liked it, Thought it had an interesting analogy to capitalism and globalism. I'm sure if they ever did discover a drug or something to make people immortal, they'd make damn sure 'the market' was skewed so the rich got the drug in abundance at the expense of the poor.

I particularly felt the quote "For one man to be immortal, thousands have to die" to be very apt to how capitalism works in essence.

The concept was good, yes. But the film was dire. The acting, the main story line, the special effects (especially when the car fell into the waterway, everyone in the cinema laughed at that bit), plus horrendous, cheesy one liners the main characters kept using.

Just didn't float my gravy boat I'm afraid.

I've also just come back from watching The Hunger Games, it was surprisingly good.

I watched "Funny Games" on Netflix last night. Its a psychological thriller which is a shot for shot remake of a German film.

Its pretty disturbing and shocking in places, and there are a few moments where it breaks the 4th wall... its a little odd, but I'd say give it a watch. Its certainly a movie for film lovers, but not for people who watch films every now and then.... and certainly not for those who think films like "I Am Number Four" is a good film ..........

Here's the trailer:

Here's the trailer:

A bit too shocking for my tastes, remember seeing it on C4 years ago, a pretty nasty and sadistic film made all the more nasty by its realism rather than brainless sadistic, gore attached to a flimsy premise. A good film in the sense that it was well acted, puts the viewer at emotional unease and is definitely thought-provoking. However, certainly not one you'd want in your DVD collection to sit in front of with a beer and takeaway on a Saturday evening, unless you're a bit mental.

Over the weekend, I watched Wreckers(mainly because I love Benedict Cumberbatch), but it wasn't a good film sadly.

Also saw Lars and the Real Girl, which I loved. It's not a movie for everyone, but I'd recommend it if you like quirky indie films. Ryan Gosling has become one of my fave actors recently and he shines as main character Lars.

Maybe it's because I have a toddler but I love animation just now. Laughed myself off the sofa watching Up and the other day the wee man was looking at me like I was mad coz I was crying laughing at Hop

Haven't seen Hop yet!

Megamind is a good one too, and Despicable Me.

I saw the end of that film at New Year, missed most of it due to family/drink/noise

Will catch up with the whole film at some point, it did look good.

I watched an Italian film last night called "I'm Not Scared". Its about this young boy who finds a covered up, deep, hole by an old farm house and inside the hole is another young boy, chained up.

It was interesting, nothing i was expecting though.

well the odd thing is that its not a horror film, even with a title like that. Its more of a mystery drama.

Be independent - be I am number four

Oh no, I go by what I feel, but others may like to see how the film is rated before they watch it.

As a film lover I will give anything the benefit of the doubt, I watched I am Number Four after all.

We shall politely agree to disagree - cos we're gentlemen

Quite.

But the fact you also list Sucker Punch as one of your favourite movies means we can't ever go to the cinema together. I hope you understand

Aside from your sexual frisson and banter with Renton , Sucker Punch was a good film. I expected it to be complete shit, but was very pleasantly surprised by the imagination and imagery that went into the film. OK, it's like a cross between a pop video, console game and a comic book, but the imagery and twists captured my imagination and I did have empathy for the characters.

Started watching it as it was the same director as Pan's Labyrinth (correct me if I'm wrong or thinking about something entirely different), which I did like a lot, but with "I'm not scared" I lost interest. I will probably pick it up at some point but just got a bit bored.
