Retro_Link Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Went to see American Hustle last night. Was Brilliant! It was SO well acted, especially Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams! but everyone was great. Christian Bale is amazing at transforming himself for roles. Cool soundtrack too.
bob Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It was SO well acted, especially Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams!. Poor Bradley... I saw The Wolf on Wall Street last night. It was pretty good. About 30 mins too long though. A film has to be pretty darn engrossing to reach the 3 hour mark, but this could have been cut down a bit I think. Loved the drug scenes, especially the bit at the country club. Hilarious!
Retro_Link Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Poor Bradley...He was great too of course, I just thought the other 3 were exceptionally good.
bob Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I thought he was better than Bale, personally. It's a shame that he only gets nominated for 'supporting actor' when he's on screen for almost as much time as Bale or Adams.

I thought Bale's transformation for the character was impressive too.
bob Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Indeed, although i kept thinking of Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder...
Cube Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 They're making a CGI film of a beloved kids TV show, and some big names have roles: David Tennant, Rupert Grint, Jim Broadbent and Stephen Mangan My god, that looks awful.
drahkon Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Watched Dead Poets Society again. Such a beautiful movie. I think everyone should watch it at least once.
Retro_Link Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon last night. Was largely rubbish.
dwarf Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 12 Years A Slave Late to the party but wow, can't remember a film that looked so beautiful. Hyperreal colours, powerful contrast of stunning scenery and abhorrent violence. Moving performances too, especially from Lupita Nyong'o. My only minor criticisms would be that Zimmer's score was a bit too catalogue in the sad moments, there were one or two too many 'stars', and for a film with the title of '12 years' you don't really get a true sense of time passing. Everyone should watch it, though.
Goron_3 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Tonight I watched The Notebook for the first time and it ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces. Balling.
drahkon Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Prisoners As perfect as a psychological thriller can get.
Retro_Link Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Tonight I watched The Notebook for the first time and it ripped my heart into a thousand tiny pieces. Balling. I am of course joking. I will pretty much well up at anything, be it Love Actually, The Holiday, The Time Travelers Wife etc...
Ashley Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Veronica Mars has been confirmed to be playing in a few UK cinemas (including London, obviously) on the same day as America. Excite! Although annoyingly tickets don't go on sale until a few days before. If I don't get any...
Cube Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Watched Knights of Badassdom tonight. It was cheesy but a lot of fun. Summer Glau was awesome in it and the music was brilliant. Also, a film based on Nintendo and Sega called Console Wars, based on the book by Blake Harris, has just been announced. Scott Ruddin (The Social Network) is producing it and Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg (Knocked Up, Superbad) are writing and directing it. Sony Pictures are producing it. They're also doing a documentary on the same subject.

They're also doing a documentary on the same subject. That sounds like my worst/nightmare combination. Loathe Superbad and hated The Social Network. I saw 12 Years A Slave (no separate thread for it?) and thought it was great. It's Oscar bait, but it's very good at what it intends to do. Michael Fassbender is one hell of an actor.
Jonnas Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Michael Fassbender is one hell of an actor. Amen. I honestly didn't realize it was him until the credits rolled.
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 His best role is still his first starring one, in Hunger, to this day. He and Steve McQueen click together very well in all 3 of his movies, but Hunger was something special.

Cube Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Sam Raimi will be working with Neil Druckmann (who is writing the screneplay) and other members of Naughty Dog to make a live action film based on The Last of Us.
drahkon Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) To start off with, I have this - admittedly stupid - phobia (dislike using that word here, but it's the only one that comes to my mind) of being in space (or the ocean) without being able to control my movements, slowly drifting away without any possibility of stopping (you can probably see where this is headed). It's stupid because I highly doubt I'll ever get into a situation like that - obviously -, but even thinking about it makes me feel anxious. So I watched Gravity just now. It was intense. And for me it was incredibly horrifying. Edit: Steven Price deserved that Oscar. Brilliant and perfect score. Edited March 12, 2014 by drahkon
The Bard Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I saw Dead Poet's Society for the first time since I was fourteen (I was on a bus in Berlin listening to Guns N' Roses and insisting someone swap this sissy shit for Terminator 2) about a week ago and it's pretty much me all over. Boarding school life as imagined from the perspective of an overly sentimental literature graduate, loved it so much. Particularly loved the way it portrayed the aphasia that catches even the most outspoken and eloquent person when their childhood dreams are faced with parental pragmatism.
Tales Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 AM EXCITE! Just two weeks to go! #nobodyelsecares Just about to watch this now. I now it's not an ordinary movie, but I'm surprised to see it's available for pay-to-stream on the same day as the cinema release. Since there is no option for me to watch it in the cinema(in the entire country I assume) I will be watching it now on pay-to-stream. I hope it doesn't let me down :p
