spenno182 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 After what Molly said about it, it actually got interesting towards the end. Maybe something better worth watching at home rather than being restless in the Cinema.

spenno182 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 But cinema viewing pwns home viewing...actually makes you pay attention... Not true when sitting next to Rez
Paj! Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Not true when sitting next to Rez Bear in mind he's been diagnosed as bad. I'd watch out if I were you. His tastes are often corrosive and maddening. :wink: LOVEYAREHZ!
Chris the great Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 old boy ben waiting to see this for a while, love film finaly sent it over, put it on to watch in piece. about 30 mins later, in toddles my dad, who asks if its "a martial artsy film" i said "not really" he dissapears, comes back abotu 20 mins later and sits watching it, asking questions to catch up.. fair enough. then he starts making comments. i ask him to stop, last 5 mins. starts playing with everything around him, making noise, i ask him to stop, again, that buys 5 mins peace. at the en, he actualy gets up, starts walking in front of the screen. i lose it, tell him i cant enjoy anything with him around. he bassicly says "oh right" as in, dosent care. my dads a cunt/10 though actualy, as it was subtitles, i did follow the story ok, and thought it was beautifully twisted, clever and totaly out of stnch with what we usualy see. 9/10
Ashley Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Mio fratello è figlio unico/My Brother Is An Only Child Second viewing. Bello. Didn't notice last time the transition of Accio aging, smoothly done (to the point it went over my head last time).
Monopolyman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Saw Valkyrie the other day, which was OK, I suppose. It wasn't a particularly deep film, per say, or even anything more than a history lesson in the disguise of a blockbuster, but that's not critisism. It's an interesting but not a widely known event, which is proficiently executed by Bryan Singer with fine pacing and timely direction leaving the audience involved with the plot. And say what you want about Tom Cruise, but when he wants to, he can be a fine actor. By no means a classic, but, y'know, you could do worse. 8/10
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire Yeah, whatever... Good and all that jazz but I was expecting much much more. Still quite awesome, but the hype is ridiculous. 7/10 Hunger Now... THAT's how you make a good'un! Extraordinary debut! 9/10
ReZourceman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire Yeah, whatever... Good and all that jazz but I was expecting much much more. Still quite awesome, but the hype is ridiculous. Agreed. The guy from Skins wasn't even that good.

Because that sounds really fucking annoying :/
Retro_Link Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Slumdog Millionaire Yeah, whatever... Good and all that jazz but I was expecting much much more. Still quite awesome, but the hype is ridiculous. I was pleased because it was better than I expected. Before I saw it I thought it was probably being WAY overated, and whilst I didn't think it was groundbreaking, I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it! There was such a good atmosphere in the cinema, people were really getting into it and rooting for the characters, and we were somewhat playing along with millionaire etc... it was one of the most enjoyable cinema experiences i've had!
Noodleman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 The problem I had with slumdog was, that in my mind at least it appeared to be trying too hard to be the Indian City of God. Good film yes but doesn't deserve most of the hype its attracted.
Chris the great Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Quick question, is your dad 10 years old?Because that sounds really fucking annoying :/ i asked him that, multipul times. the fact he waves back at people on the telivision surgests yes, he is, or hes devoted to annoying everyone.

nightwolf Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Pretty woman Oldie film, but it's still one of the better love stories out there! Just a shame that some of it can be pretty cringe worthy..
Dan_Dare Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 say what you want about Tom Cruise, but when he wants to, he can be a fine actor. oddly true. He's ace in Magnolia and Collateral.
Paj! Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Battlestar Galactica: The Mini-Series Not really a film. not yet a TV series, but yeah. REALLY anjoyed this! Definitely glad I got on the love train for this, gonna get Season One soon! I love Rihanna being in it (Duella). And Tricia Helfer is ridiculously seductive. The bit where she points out the "device" to Gaius, literally turned me on. Plus I choked up blood at the ending. The one I didn't even expect. Rating this a TV show really. 9/10
Ashley Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Lilo & Stitch followed by My Neighbour Totoro (to be followed by World of Goo) What an awesome birthday-eve ! Such fun films that lift the spirit. And while im here; anyone know of any website that lets you find a film playing close to you? I want to see Tokyo Sonata and it doesn't seem to be playing in Brum and despite the fact im going to London twice in upcoming weeks I don't have the time to go see it

Except for the score, I'd rate it a 7.5/10. :awesome:
welsh_gamer Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Most enjoyable and a very well made film. Impressive acting from everyone, the special effects were very good, there were MANY emotional moments and laugh out loud situations also, and there's wasnt any pointless or scene's that dragged on. Forrest Gump for the new generation of movie-goers. 8.5/10
Ganepark32 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Chocolate Wow. Much better than I thought it'd be. The fighting was choreographed superbly, with some really bone-crunching hits and falls coming in. Quite strange with it being a Thai martial arts film but I did find it better than many of the chinese ones I've seen. Sometimes the story in a martial arts film can be a bit on the boring side but this was actually a really good one, with the basic premise being that Zen, the main character, basically just wants her mother well enough so she can take her out. Not a lot to the story but it was done really well. I think the music was great as well as it complimented the story and the action scenes. Wasn't all serious as there were a few funny bits to it, noticeably the gang of Thai ladyboys being used by the 'bad guy.' Acting as well was really good. Jeeja Yanin was fantastic as Zen, making for some truly believeable scenes where she could be screaming for her mother (she has some form of mental disorder which isn't alluded to much) or fighting to get the money needed to help her mother. So, I'll give it 9 out of 10. There were some bits that did grate a little, such as the constant screaming of Zen with the flies around her but that was also part of the character you endeared with because although she was this 'special' child who could replicate any fighting move/style she saw she was also this vulnerable child just wanting her mother there for her. The film is only £7 in HMV and I strongly recommend it because it's a fantastic movie and a fantastic start to Yanin's career in film.
Retro_Link Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hancock A very enjoyable 8/10 Dunno why this wasn't recieved better at the time, I really liked it.
Happenstance Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hancock A very enjoyable 8/10 Dunno why this wasn't recieved better at the time, I really liked it. I think most peoples complaints were with the second half of the film, thats where mine were. I just kind of faded out I think.
Retro_Link Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 It was a pretty short film by todays standards; managed to hold my interest throughout. I also thought the effects were really good, I think they may have been criticised at the time?
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Forrest Gump for the new generation of movie-goers. Huge overstatement!
