Clarky · August 2013

went to see Elysium last night..

I really liked it... had that cool District 9 vibe..

best new film I've seen for ages..

Myranda · August 2013

I saw Kick Ass 2.

The most succinct review possible would be "yay!"... expanding on that a little - if you like the first you'll like this one, if you didn't like the first why are you still reading?! (I liked the first one)

VimFuego · August 2013

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe anyone is capable of not liking kick ass 1. You may not have seen it (and that's forgivable) but if you have seen it it's a basic law of the universe to like it. Anyone who doesn't is probably insane, or a deviant or both.

LOTR VHS tape 1 (Saturday)
LOTR VHS tape 2 (Sunday)
LOTR VHS tape 3 (Monday)

The gf had only seen bits of the 3rd one so we decided to make the 3 evenings into cuddle-on-the-settee-with-film-and-wine evenings. Verdict (hers, not mine): LOTR is "quite good". She's not read the book. She also observed the "sound is good", but I had to point out that it was coming from a high quality hifi not the telly.

I couldn't help thinking the actor mumbled/whispered too much. I understand the dramatic effect, but to catch what they were saying required volume such that explosions or other loud stuff risked damaging the speaker cones. Or maybe my hearing is knackered ...

A wizard never mumbles, Philbo Baggins!! he .... precisely as ... as he ... ...

I just read the plot of Elysium on Wikipedia - what a rush

Jalapeno · August 2013

Film weekend

El Topo - very surreal spaghetti western

Avatar (again) - I do like the Fern Gully remake

LOTR1 & LOTR2 - still epic

Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince - The missus commented that these are well made films - I concur

Elysium - Good, but not a patch on District 9, I was a tad disappointed.

First of the Few (British wartime propaganda story of the spitfire and its creator R J Mitchell)

I fell asleep the other night in front of the tele and woke up in the early hours to some lesbian, Mexican nuns cavorting in front of me and shooting each other. I had to double check that I hadn't sat on the remote and subscribed to something X rated. It transpires I was watching "Nude nuns with big guns" on the Horror Channel. It was intriguing!

it was when we found out Eric Jr Jr had been watching that we cancelled lovefilm.

Searching for Sugarman

It's the story of Rodriguez, a singer song writer who released 2 albums in the late sixties \ early seventies which bombed in the states. He returns to his labouring job and back to obscurity , meanwhile he becomes as big as Dylan in South Africa but doesn't know

It's a fantastic docu film of a true story, absolutely brilliant. Check out the IMD \ rotton tom ratings and the Bafta award

Believe it or not it's been on before. It's a slasher revenge movie, it's not that bad (or that nude really).

Skipped · August 2013

The Place Beyond the Pines.

I loved it but I do understand why IMDb has several people giving the film 10 stars and several giving 1 star.

chillidoggy · August 2013

"Babel".......................total bollocks.

citizen68 · August 2013

The Conjuring - great atmospheric music - suitably spooky & had me jumping in the seat like he who isn't half wise

VimFuego · August 2013

just the trailers for the conjuring were enough to give me screaming nightmares. Think it's best I not see the film. Ever.

Col_Decker · August 2013

currently got Alien vs Predator Requiem on E4.

as expected

2/10

Col_Decker · August 2013

Double post o-rama

thumpingrug · August 2013

Watched Cloud Atlas again this evening. Second time around and it was much easier to see the connections. Still a great film

shady · August 2013

Hansel & Gretel.

Great fun - needs a sequel.

DulcetJones · August 2013

I caught "Clue, The Movie" the other night. It's funny, goofy fun, being familiar with the board game is essential.

fatherjack · August 2013

Olympus Has Fallen - one of the comments on the DVD package was "Die Hard in the White House", which is exactly right. A big, dumb, silly movies - does exactly what it says on the tin, 6.5/10.

IanSavage · August 2013

'Black Dynamite' - spoof blaxploitation film, done in a Machete-esque 'so-bad-it's-good' way. Laugh-out-loud funny, well worth a look and eminently quotable.

boogieman · August 2013

Nazis from the centre of the Earth. Typical SyFy channel crap with bad acting & dodgy FX but the title dragged me in, a bit like Nude nuns with big guns >:D<

Myranda · September 2013

I watched Jurassic Park in 3D IMAX.

3! D! Dinosaurs!

I'm perhaps a little biased as I'm a fan to start with, but I thought it was the best application of 3Dness I've seen to date. Better than Avatar even... Somehow it totally recaptured the joy and awe of a shorter, more optimistic me.

The 3D actually gave an impression of genuine depth and perspective...

Also, giant 3D TRex!

HAL9000 · September 2013

2001: A Space Odyssey
First time watching the bluray on a big TV with 5.1 sound. Wonderful. Still ridiculously odd, but soooo amazing to look at and listen to. A proper classic for good reason.

^ This

Also, recently watched 'State of Play' which I thought was pretty good.

thumpingrug · September 2013

Daughter made us watch "Life of Pi" last night, "cos its awwwwwsome".

It wasn't. Thought it was actually quite ordinary and in parts a bit dull.

Weird. Nightmare giving weird. Good film if you like weird.

SPLICE.

FFS a one word film title and I got it wrong.

Still was weird.

ftumch · September 2013

Just watched 'Sightseers'. Directed by Ben Wheatley of Kill List. Recommended if you like Dark movies, pretty funny i thought.

midiglitch · September 2013

Me n the missus just watched firewall with Harrison Ford. 'twas good; engaging throughout.

daveyh · September 2013

Last night I watched Conan The Barbarian.

O.M.G.

To call it a pile of shite would offend shite.

Myranda · September 2013

I don't think people understand... there are 3D dinosaurs in IMAX screens RIGHT NOW which don't suck...

Howdy, Stranger!
