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.

I watched Duel (1971) today at work. What a brilliant film. I think i'll be driving through the side roads on the way home Laugh

by **Kenny** Sun Nov 18, 2012 6:58 pm

Watched Logan's Run this afternoon , i love this film and even liked the tv series . I would however like to see it re-made with todays effects

by Adam D Sun Nov 18, 2012 7:29 pm

Both Duel and Logans Run are amazing films.

I enjoyed Roadkill which was similar to Duel but havent scene another film of its quality in ages - actually scrap that, I thought the opening half of Jeepers Creepers was also very similar and very good (but then got incredibly stupid!)

by Nakatomi Plaza Sun Nov 18, 2012 10:50 pm

Finally got round to seeing Skyfall over the weekend. Thought it was good, albeit not living up to the early review hype. For me it's Craig's second best Bond behind Casino Royale.

I also watched Shoot 'em up, which was tongue in cheek fun. You have to leave your brain at the door to properly enjoy it though.

by Smirnoffpriest Mon Nov 19, 2012 9:58 am

Shoot em up is good,mindless fun like u say. Didnt think much at all of casino royale tho

by incontinentia Tue Nov 20, 2012 1:26 pm

Seen the crying game over the weekend, thought it was weird and confusing and not that good.

by Smirnoffpriest Tue Nov 20, 2012 5:00 pm

Watched Ted - seemed exactly what I thought it would be - though slightly funnier, basically Peter Griffin as a bear (with other allsorted Family Guy/American Dad characters/references littered around the film) in a typical buddy guy movie with a standard plot. It is funny and not as gross as I expected (and the Flash Gordon bits were funny) but not very imaginative scripting.

by Bull Tue Nov 20, 2012 8:23 pm

Revolver - Enjoyed it but.. its confusing and will make you go WTF!

seriously no idea what happened

by Smirnoffpriest Wed Nov 21, 2012 4:43 pm

I much preferred RocknRolla and Snatch/Lock Stock to be honest and felt Revolver showed the dreaded Madonna effect on Richie's career!

Prefer Layer Cake as well...

by **Kenny** Wed Nov 21, 2012 5:19 pm

I watched Lock Stock again last night , i had forgot what a good enjoyable film it is .

Watched Monsters earlier, low budget British-made film about aliens in Mexico.

Whilst I thought it was very nicely shot on the cheap eqiupment, using local people as extras with much of the dialogue improvised gave it a more natural feel and the story itself was a good concept - it just wasn't as good as it could/should have been for me.

Shame really.

by **Kenny** Fri Nov 23, 2012 5:24 pm

Just watched Jack and Jill , well thats an hour and a half of my life i will never get back ............ i like Sandler but this is awful

by **Galted** Fri Nov 23, 2012 8:12 pm

Finally watched Bridesmaids after all the hype, a few funny moments but generally made up of cliches - massive disappointment all in all, a lot like Hangover in that respect.

Uve just perfectly described how i feel about monsters!

by The Best in the World Sat Nov 24, 2012 5:17 pm

watched Cabin in the Woods last night. decent film, not the greatest for the 'horror' but is still entertaining nonetheless

by Guest Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:06 pm

I've watched so many films recently and just been disappointed by mostly all of them. What's happened to good films? Having to always re-watch 80's and early 90's classics. Skyfall was a big disappointment as was Taken 2.

Ha, nice!

I must be in a people trying to get somewhere mood - I watched The Road last night. Good film.

by mystiroakey Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:58 am

That good to here- the road has been on my to watch list- however havent been mellow enough to watch it yet!

by Smirnoffpriest Sun Nov 25, 2012 1:40 pm

I wasn't that impressed with the Road to be honest (knew I couldn't last long agreeing with people! Smile

). Found it quite plodding.

Kenny wrote: i like Sandler

there's a first, I have never heard anyone say that before. He's almost as damning an indictment of cinema as Martin Lawrence.

by **Kenny** Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:11 pm

I take him for what he is a clown , sometimes you just want to sit there and watch some mind numbing nonsense and he's good at that

by incontinentia Sun Nov 25, 2012 9:57 pm

Kinda like Mike Myers i suppose. I used to love Sandler until few years ago, guess its comedy snobbery.

Lawrence though, how did big momma's house get 2 sequels??!

by **Hero** Sun Nov 25, 2012 10:26 pm

I took my two sons today to watch Hotel Transylvania, for anyone that kids that love all things a bit spooky Id thoroughly recommend it.

by Stella Mon Nov 26, 2012 1:10 pm

Me and the kids watched Stuart little 2 yesterday. They liked it but for me the best part were Geena Davis' t.ts.

by **Kenny** Mon Nov 26, 2012 1:16 pm

they are quite perky

by Stella Mon Nov 26, 2012 1:21 pm

They certainly weren't little Very Happy

by **Kenny** Mon Nov 26, 2012 3:51 pm

she should be on that website the guys from Knocked Up were setting up , you can just imagine it 3min 45 sec into Stuart Little 2 Geena Davis boobies

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 26, 2012 3:55 pm

End of watch. good cop film.; Really upto date. Really good watch.8.5/10

the sweeny-I liked it- but! oddly enough i would have wished they had just brought out a rebooted tv series on this.. But ya gotta love ray winstone. And it was nice to see Damien Lewis doing something British for a change.7/10

The odd life of timothy green- cute, abit sickly but overall I recomend. 7/10

by Smirnoffpriest Mon Nov 26, 2012 5:43 pm

Watched Skyfall last night - Really enjoyed it, and all the tongue in cheek references to the first Bonds, and also some of the others.

I always thought Daniel Craig would make a good Bond, but thought the previous 2 films have been terrible - while this one hit the nail on the head, and I liked the new Q though he is very different.

Hard to say whether it lived up to the hype, as there was a lot of hype and it usually makes me look at the negatives in a film instead but all I can say is I really enjoyed it and it was a true Bond film

by mystiroakey Tue Nov 27, 2012 12:30 pm

yeah i am 50/50 as to how great Skyfall was. I understand my british bias..

basically i loved it, and will probally watch a few more times(not a big bond fan tbh- but i have a patriotic attachement). However i would understand why many would be abit underwhelmed considering the hype

by Mad for Chelsea Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:38 pm

The Usual Suspects: very good film, enjoyable even if you already know the ending.

Dredd (3D): pretty awful, no plot to speak of (or one that can be written in one line), poor acting, not great shooting. Unnecessary violence really, but done in a far too serious manner.

by **Kenny** Tue Nov 27, 2012 3:37 pm

Watched Jumangi with the kids lastnight , i always thought it was a good idea for a family film surprised they never made a sequel

by mystiroakey Tue Nov 27, 2012 4:05 pm

"The Usual Suspects: very good film, enjoyable even if you already know the ending"

I know right, this is a great thing about the film. Although i like many other major twist films i cant watch many of them over again- like shutter island for example- loved it- but dont feel the need to rewatch. however usual suspects allways attracts me back

by **Galted** Tue Nov 27, 2012 4:18 pm

It's the performances, especially by Kevin Spacey & Chazz Palminteri, that make Usual Suspects so gripping. Twist was fairly well done but generally found the film to be quite poorly directed.

by Smirnoffpriest Tue Nov 27, 2012 4:34 pm

Usual Suspects is def in my Top 10 films Spacey's performance and the filming is awesome.

Jimanji is very good as well.

I watched a bit of 12 monkeys again the other night - I always forget how amazing Brad Pitt is in that film (I always just think of how weird Terry Gilliam is and how amazing Bruce is in that film)

by two_tone Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:20 pm

Watched Scent of a Woman last night, amazing Al Pacino performance, would rate it up there with Scarface for me but obviously completely different films.

by mystiroakey Thu Nov 29, 2012 9:47 am

Yeah great film scent of a woman.. It cracks me up though and i am not sure why!!

Has anyone seen the master?

that is a film i am looking forward to seeing

by Morgannwg Sat Dec 01, 2012 1:51 pm

The Amazing Spiderman (watched last night). It was awful. The guy who played Peter Parker was rubbish. Brought my mood back up by re-watching MIB 3, a film I still like.

by **Kenny** Sat Dec 01, 2012 4:41 pm

watched I, Robot lastnight ................. not my favourite film but it passed the time , i do think that they could make a better version though

by **Hero** Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:49 pm

I watched the Amazing Spider-Man last night, didn't think it was as bad as Morgannwg thought and Andrew Garfield isn't a bad Peter Parker, though I'm getting fed up of reboots where you have to watch the same basic set up again that you know in your sleep.
The CGI on The Lizard though I wasn't impressed with facially, the action sequences were done well though.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:50 pm

Pulp Fiction - still a great film every time I watch it Very Happy

by mystiroakey Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:52 pm

Couldnt get through spiderman..

Pulp fiction- now your talking.

Saw Argo last night- one of the best this year! worth watching

by Morgannwg Sat Dec 01, 2012 9:03 pm

I think I seen somebody mention Rock of Ages here, is that any good? May watch in tonight.

by incontinentia Sat Dec 01, 2012 10:08 pm

Red Dragon... class.

by Morgannwg Sun Dec 02, 2012 3:38 pm

Loved 'Rock of Ages' btw. Great cast and great songs. Best musical since Grease.

by **hampo17** Mon Dec 03, 2012 9:35 am

Watched a few movies this weekend starting with TED, superb film for anybody who enjoys the other Seth Mcfarlane shows. Gave me a fair few belly laughs, especially when he laughs at the fat kid running and when he sees the dad dancing as well.

The amazing spiderman was decent, the CGI was very well done and I thought Rhys Ifans played the bad guy superbly. The last one was Contagion which although a good film is slightly depressing.

by **Derbyblue** Mon Dec 03, 2012 2:43 pm

Like a few others I recently watched The Amazing Spiderman, was pretty enjoyable. I liked the back story to Peter and connection to Rhys Ifans' character, CGI all looked pretty good. Was good enough to make me watch it again in the future and to watch the sequel when that comes out in the future.

by **Kenny** Mon Dec 03, 2012 8:01 pm

watched Contagion on sky anytime , i was a bit long winded but i thought it was a good film overall . Scary to think of quickly something like that could happen also .

I watched TED aswell last week, and I also found it hilarious. Great film, lots of funny moments, and the end is quite sad, but overall great film

by Nakatomi Plaza Thu Dec 06, 2012 2:55 pm

Recently watched One Day.The most memorable thing about it is Anne Hathaway's attempt at a British accent. Her character's probably the only one who developed a Yorkshire accent after moving to London.

Also watched Silver Linings Playthings which I really enjoyed. Strong performances from Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, and Bob De Niro was really good in it as well.
