Last Film Watched Thread

by I Blame Coco Thu Apr 21, 2011 4:09 pm

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.

Rango was terrible.

Of all these modern animation films, Despicable Me is by far my favourite. So funny.

I watched Dead Man's Shoes for the first time recently. What a film. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Girl with a dragon tattoo, hadn't seen the Swedish version and am only half way through the book but nothing else was on I wanted to watch

Quality movie, really enjoyed it and can't wait to finish the book so I can read the other two now

I watched an old film last night called I Live My Life.

It starred Joan Crawford who played this flighty society gal who marries a boring archaeologist. Gave him a hell of a time. Completely silly story but life seemed so uncomplicated back in those days. What that poor guy had to go through... but it a nice, predictable and fully resolved happy ending of course! Very Happy

i watched the inbetweeners film again last night, i think its brilliant.

by Guest Thu Jan 12, 2012 10:21 am

I watched "Unknown" last night on the basis of this review:

If you liked Taken you'll love Unknown.

Perhaps the review should have read:

If you loved Taken you'll think Unknown is all right.

The basis of the film was decent enough and I'd probably enjoy it more on a second viewing with expectations lowered.

Watched Moneyball the other night. Good film.

It's based on the book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" and is about the Oakland A's 2002 season and the A's GM Billy Beane, Brad Pitt, who has the job of making the A's have as successful a season as the Yankees, Red Sox, etc. with only a shoe string budget compared to the rest of the league and also having lost their three best players as free agents.

It also stars Jonah Hill in his first serious role, as a young scout who studied economics at Yale and has a formula for finding the best cheap players, which I think he pulled off quite well.

Just watched real steal,quality film.
Moneyball was good aswell.

The Italian Job and Goodfellas back to back. Just wondering whether they are going ahead with The Brazilian job or has it been shelved?

I love that film though I haven't seen it in a while.

I've watched all 3 mighty ducks films as they've been on one of the Sky Movies channels. Although they do get a little bit worse each time I still really enjoyed them.

Watched Cool Runnings today as well, still a pretty enjoyable story. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I still liked all of these films as it's what Disney do best a good old feel good story.

Really ? I watched it and thought it was exactly like the TV series, patchy but funny in places. On the whole It hought they just about pulled it off but briliant is stretching it a bit. One of the girls I work with lives with the tall dopey one. Nice guy apparently.
Just watched the latest Planet of the films, enjoyed that a lot I gave to say. So much better than the previous Tim Burton dross.

by Guest Sat Jan 14, 2012 1:46 pm

Has anybody seen Goon with Sean William Scott?

Was very surprised, its actually good, was expecting some stupid comedy but there's a bit of depth to his character and some good laughs in there as well

Check out the Swedish versions Gaz, they are superb, not one bad film in the three thumbsup

I watched After.life and Limitless lastnight both ok but nothing to write home about

by **Kenny** Mon Jan 16, 2012 2:17 pm

Had a Micheal Caine night lastnight as i couldn't get off to sleep , watched The Italian job , Get Carter and Alfie back to back . Classics ,so many great lines

by President Trump Tue Jan 17, 2012 10:33 am

I watched Winter Bones lastnight, it was very bleak and sombre movie about a girl living with her family down south and her looking for her father and trying to keep the house over her and her families head - 7/10

by Celtic Warrior Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:32 am

Role Models.

I was in the mood for a "switch your brain off and laugh" style movie. Well Role Models definitely falls in to that category.

by President Trump Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:49 am

I love Role Models, its one of my favourite movies and the end always gets me wanting to L.A.R.P but then I remember im a grown man and stop myself Laugh

by Celtic Warrior Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:52 am

I do reckon it would be highly amusing to have 1 game in L.A.I.R.E.

That is pretty much all I could manage...my minimal self respect would be gone by then and I would have to stop...but it would still be immense fun!

by President Trump Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:55 am

I have a mate that use to travel over to England to do it and he said it was great fun, a weekend of drinking and chatting up girls in costumes with a few attacks here and there, but like you Id probably try it once have a laugh then be too ashamed to do it again after my family and friends found out

by Celtic Warrior Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:57 am

Yeah, see, when you put it like that, it does sound like a good laugh.

by President Trump Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:23 pm

I dont think there are any of those organisations over here thank god or I would have probably spent my younger years up the mountains pretending to put Orcs to sleep Laugh

by Celtic Warrior Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:31 pm

I'm tempted to Google (other search engines are available!) and find out if there are any near here.

But I just can't bring myself to do it...

I watched Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows last night. A great big pile of doggy doo-doo. An excuse to link some rubbish dialogue with fight scenes and explosions with dubious slow-mo.

Absolute garbage.

by Doon the Water Sat Jan 21, 2012 3:54 pm

War Horse.
Anyone else seen it as I would be interested on your views?

by President Trump Mon Jan 23, 2012 2:10 pm

I watched the Other Guys again lastnight, the film is hillarious and fast becoming one of my favourites, its one of those films that everytime you watch it you hear something new that you missed the first time and the chemistry between Ferrell and Wahlberg is brilliant

by Skydriver Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:03 pm

Haywire.

Very typically slick Soderbergh style applied to a different genre. MMA practitioner Gina Carano is very impressive in her acting debut. The supporting cast list is even more so. Some people might also be interested to know that the city of Dublin probably qualifies as a significant supporting cast member, involving Ms Carano acquainting members of the Garda with her particular hand-to-hand brand of medieval. Ouch.

Good film. Perhaps not top notch, but enjoyable enough.

by Mr Bounce Tue Jan 24, 2012 9:30 am

I watched Haywire last night and pretty much agree with most of the above, although Ms Carano doesn't act that much, just looks nice and beats people up. A lot.

The fight scenes were very well coreographed, and they don't skimp when it comes to giving Ms Carano the occasional slap for her troubles, which can look a bit sqeamish (I don't like seeing a woman hit in any circumstances). That said, she more than makes up for it!

by President Trump Tue Jan 24, 2012 10:46 am

I watched Super Troopers last night, I cant say much more than that Very Happy

by Beer Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:32 am

Step Brothers, again.

by **Pal Joey** Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:11 pm

I saw this film called "Cedar Boys" about Lebanese gangs out here. Some cringe-worthy dialogue yet it was sort of funny in parts - until the violent ending - which was no surprise given the dangerous lives they lead.

by **Kenny** Tue Jan 24, 2012 3:35 pm

Just watched Kenny , funny film

by littleswannygirl Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:19 am

I had the misfortune to waste 3 hours of my life watching Alexander on Sunday night. Don't even bother, utter Flip shoite doesn't come close to describing the awfulness of it!

Watching The Shawshank Redemption now as recompense Very Happy

Im watching Shawshank aswell Very Happy

Great minds Kenny thumbsup

An absolute classic, one of my all time favourites Very Happy

by **Kenny** Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:28 am

Yes its one of those films you have to watch isn't Very Happy

, missed the start so watching it on itv2 +1

by littleswannygirl Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:02 am

It certainly is, I have it on dvd so can watch it whenever I want but somehow when it's on the telly I have to watch it.

Realised I missed Ladyhawke on Sunday afternoon, Sad

Another favourite, that I also have on dvd, but I'd have watched it if I was home. Might just dig out the dvd for tomorrow night's viewing Very Happy

by **Kenny** Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:02 am

Watching Open Range now on BBC 1 , one of the best modern westerns Costner is excellent in it .

by President Trump Wed Jan 25, 2012 5:52 pm

I thought Shawshank was meh tbh but Ladyhawke now there is a film

by **Derbyblue** Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:43 am

Watched Bridesmaids last night, I actually found it to be really funny it may have helped that my expectations were for it to be rubbish but I enjoyed the film a lot.

Also recently watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, it was an enjoyable film if a little odd in places but I guess you have to expect that when a film is set in a mental institution. A good mix overall between hapiness and sadness makes it quite a touching film.

by XR Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:55 am

The Other Guys

Hilarious Laugh

by **Galted** Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:40 pm

watched Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban - I'm not much of a fan of the franchise but this one was very good - reminded me a bit of Pan's Labyrinth

by asdral225 Fri Jan 27, 2012 8:15 pm

Ironclad, It's about the siege of Rochester castle by King John in 1215, the battle scenes are quite violent, I think I saw one man using an arm he had just cut off as a weapon, good cast James Malfoy, Derek Jacoby, Brian Cox, Paul Giamatti, Charles Dance and Jason Flemyng.
The Other Guys is very good the closing credits are worth paying attention to

by Doon the Water Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:21 pm

Me and seven others in the cinema watched The Grey today.
First class film, fantastic ending.

by westisbest Sat Feb 04, 2012 11:02 pm

Kangaroo Jack.

Amusing.

Estella Warren is so hot.

by davidl1061 Mon Feb 06, 2012 5:33 pm

I watched Star Wars A New Hope on the weekend. Gonna watch all of them and then go and see the Phantom Menace in 3d Very Happy

by hornbloweroafc Mon Feb 06, 2012 5:39 pm

I watched Son of Rambow over the weekend and thought it was a decent enough film, quite enjoyable actually.

by **Kenny** Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:25 pm

I watched Priest today Paul Bettany as a futuristic priest come vampire killer , i wont win any awards but it was a decent film to pass a hour and half .

by westisbest Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:35 pm

Thought that was ok to kenny.

by westisbest Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:38 pm

Whats your number

Anna Farris & Chris Evans.

Was ok, your typical rom com.

Am a big fan of Evans, decent actor imo.

by **Kenny** Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:42 pm
