Last Film Watched Thread

First topic message reminder :

Bit of a running thread we could hopefully keep going....

Meet Joe Black - Never seen it before, thought it was great but maybe a bit too long at 3 hours. One of Brad Pitt's best performances.

Source Code - Bit of a head f**k, won't lie to you i didn't fully understand the ending.

Last watched film for me...

The Smurfs.

Oh the joy of having a 5 & 4 year old.

Watched Hatchet the other night. Far from a classic horror movie, but I actually enjoyed it. (OH wasn't impressed with it at all.) Will have to look out for Hatchet 2 now.

I watched Kung Fu Panda 2 with my little boy this weekend - excellent.

I also watched Piranha (the remake) which was all kinds of awesome for different reasons Ok!

by JPX Wed Sep 28, 2011 11:27 am

Watched inception last night, what a weird film!

by Clunge4life Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:36 pm

I really liked Kung Fu Panda 2, much better than the first I thought.

Frightnight 8/10, a great remake and well worth a watch.

by **ADMIN** Wed Sep 28, 2011 4:30 pm

I've heard bad things about the remake but I remember loving the original.

by ReallyReal Wed Sep 28, 2011 4:41 pm

I think the young guy in the lead role does a brilliant job, even David Tennant is ok (not as good as Roddy McDowall was obviously), though nobody can really drink so much Midori without vomit

for weeks

Watched Tango and Cash the other night - Cheesey greatness

by **Derbyblue** Wed Sep 28, 2011 5:42 pm

Watched Scott Pilgrim VS The World for the second time, enjoyed it more this time than the first time I imagine it helped that I didn't have my girlfriend asleep next to me this time.

Watched an old sporting feel good film yesterday Best Shot ( Hoosiers ) starring Gene Hackman as a basketball coach who turns a team of ordinary players into state champions ,............great supporting cast Dennis Hopper , Barbara Hershey .

Rocky esq in that it gets you rooting for the team to win .

I think Gene Hackman plays a coach in The Replacements which is also a bit of an uplifting film with Keanu Reeves in it based on American Football. I know I enjoyed it.

I watched There's No Business Like Show Business as it was on TV the other night. A great colourful 1950s musical featuring songs by Irvine Berlin sung by Johnny Ray, Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe, dance routines with Donald O'Connor and Mitzi Gaynor....they really don't make them like that anymore.

by Sugar Floyd Louis Sat Oct 01, 2011 6:58 pm

Just watched the 'Jumper'... exciting film.

Bit predictable and could've been more out of the box, but didn't get bored once.

7/10

by Nay Sat Oct 01, 2011 8:33 pm

I have to say, found Jumper to be an awful film.

I might just be overrating it to be honest. Wouldn't go as far as 'awful' though.

i saw Goal II yesterday, it was on the tv, hadnt seen it for ages.

by **Kenny** Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:35 pm

Watched Scarface on dvd last night , really great film Pacino is god .

"Say ...ello ........to my little friend"

by Thomond Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:36 pm

Lion King in 3D at the cinema today. As good as it ever was. Amazing film 3D wasn't too gimmicky but gave it some depth.

by Guest Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:55 pm

school of rock Smile

it was on earlier

by **ADMIN** Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:20 pm

Watched Transformers 2 earlier.
Not getting that hour and a half back in my life.

by sodhat Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:35 pm

I saw Drive this evening and it was pretty mind-blowing. It was extremely creepy, violent and brilliantly acted. Honestly one of the best films of this year so far. I'd recommend it but not if you're squeamish.

by Mr Bounce Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:19 am

I liked "Drive" as well, although there was one thing that REALLY bugged me.

Whenever Ryan Gosling smiled he reminded me of Woody from Toy Story... laughing

by JPX Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:29 pm

The Town - Ben Afflick stars and it was better than I expected if a little predictable

Skyline - Weird "Aliens Attack" sci-fi movie gets a little repetitive but the ending is decent.

by President Trump Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:59 pm

I watched these gems over the last day or so

I love you man
The Other Guys
Super Troopers

by easthfc Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:39 pm

Watched Fletch last night.

Pretty funny movie. Had some great moments.

7.5/10

by legendkillar Sun Oct 16, 2011 8:49 pm

I watched The American....

What a fantastic film. It really was. The photography and soundtrack was perfect. The photography just amazing. The whole scenery. Just exquisit. The soundtrack was delicately menacing. It screamed concern at every corner in every scene.

The movie is about an assassin who is being pursued by his enemies across Europe. He goes into hiding in Italy and walls start to close in.

Clooney is immense as the film's protagonist. The ability to remain in control of emotional unresponsiveness is stunning. Gives nothing away and when you look into the windows of his eyes you see nothing. Not even a reflection.

My one criticism is that the dialogue was not in Italian. That would've made it perfect.

9.5/10

by JPX Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:18 pm

"Salt" starring Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, spy thriller with a twist.

Very good and better that I was expecting, decent storyline.

8/10

by Mickado Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:22 pm

Watched a good few movies over the weekend.

The Guard – “comedy” Brendan Glesson, was hoping for more, not good at all (4/10)
Zeitgeist – documentary about religion and corporate influence, excellent. I highly recommend it (9/10)
The King of Kong – documentary about the world record score for Donkey Kong, offbeat, funny and well worth a watch (8/10)
Waiting for superman – documentary about the education system in America, surprisingly good! (8/10)
Indiana Jones (first 3 movies) – you don’t need my review. Epic movies (10/10)

by Thomond Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:44 pm

Let the right one in- A Swedish film made in 2008 that can't really be defined to one genre. It is primarily a horror but there is also some romance and mystery theme to it. A stunning movie 9/10.

by **Derbyblue** Tue Oct 18, 2011 11:27 pm

Forrest Gump- I'm sure you all know what happens, but personally I found it a little boring.

by Mickado Wed Oct 19, 2011 7:16 am

T - im a big fan of Swedish cinema (as long as you have no follow up questions) so I'll donwload that tonight.

The Twilight Samurai 10/10

Much like Park Chan-wook's famed trilogy of the same time, it's the second film of his three that is Yoji Yamada's crowning achievement. A truly wonderful piece of modern film making.

by JPX Wed Oct 19, 2011 9:53 am

Phone Booth

9/10 very good. Farrell, Sutherland and the lead cop (can't remember his name) are excellent, and the pizza guy was good too.

by legendkillar Wed Oct 19, 2011 10:18 am

The lead cop is Forrest Whittaker I do believe. He was good in that. I remember the scene where Farrell insults his manhood.

Last film I watched was Spirited Away with my wife and kids who all throughly enjoyed it, next stop Ponyo or Howls moving castle

Ah good man, my missus has me watching those movies. Sprited away is brilliant. Ponyo is excellent too but my favourite of them is My Neighbour Totoro. It's aimed at a younger audience than Spirited Away, but it's excellent all the same.

by BALTIMORA Thu Oct 20, 2011 8:59 am

Hanna-dull film. Average. Before that-Rise of the Planet of the Apes-much better than expected. 8/10.

by legendkillar Thu Oct 20, 2011 10:09 am

I introduced my missus to a favourite film of mine which was Awakenings. With Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. It is based on true events and is about patients in a catatonic state. Robin Williams is the doctor who is trying to work out a treatment to bring the patients back into a more responsive condition. He finds a treatment which starts to 'awaken' patients and enable them to start the path into finding their lives again. Robert De Niro is a patient who awakens and strives to progress quicker into a normal life.

Both performances from Williams and De Niro are sublime. The bond and friendship that develops throughout the film is one which warms the heart. I would be lying if I said I didn't find some scenes very emotional. I would strongly recommend this film to anyone. The beauty of the friendship is up there with that in The Shawshank Redemption. It may not have the same timeline, but it does leave you in awe of it.

10/10

I saw that in HMV when I got Spirited so I might get that instead cheers thumbsup

, they watched Princess Monoke (sp?) but they couldnt get into it as much as Spirited but I loved it

by Mickado Thu Oct 20, 2011 11:23 am

That was the first one I watched too. it’s good, but I prefer the other ones.
Actually, I wrote a thread about Studio Ghilbi films on here a few months back, there are loads of films mentioned.

https://www.606v2.com/t12822-studio-ghilbi

check it out!

by President Trump Thu Oct 20, 2011 11:56 am

I think I commented on the thread I forgot it was there cheers thumbsup

by Scott is Back Fri Oct 21, 2011 10:37 am

Seems like there is a can of worms started over Adam Sandler, though i agree his early stuff (Happy Gilmore, Waterboy etc) are brilliant, and a tough act to follow, for me...Reign Over Me was easily his best film. Showed that he can act, and is not just a goofball.

by **Kenny** Sat Oct 22, 2011 11:51 pm

Watched a few old movies on dvd over last couple of days .

Enemy Mine
Eddie and the Cruisers I & II
The Hills have Eyes
Weird Science

and Ray Bradburys The Martian Chronicles ( i know its not really a film )

by Mickado Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:35 am

Watched a documentary called “Capturing the Friedman’s” last night.
Very, very weird. Don’t know what to make of it!

by President Trump Mon Oct 24, 2011 2:35 pm

I watched Sudden Death lastnight, you have to love Dirty Harry

by hornbloweroafc Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:16 pm

Batteries not included. Brilliant film!

by B91212 Mon Oct 24, 2011 8:49 pm

Watched Horrible Bosses & Bad Teacher over the weekend.

Horrible Bosses - made me laugh from time to time, pretty daft humour (mrs didn't rate it which says it all really) and storyline okay, 7 out of 10.

Bad Teacher - odd funny bit but very predictable and was waiting for it to finish so I could go to bed which isn't a good sign. 4/10.
