'The Big Sleep' (1978 ) starring Robert Mitchum and Joan Collins, it is a lot different than the Humphrey Bogart version. I don't think it's better than the Bogart version, just different, but it was a good movie.

I finally made myself watch A Clockwork Orange a couple of nights ago. Started of fairly optimistically but slowly descended into sheer disappointment.
A very interesting film called Melancholia. The synopsis sounds absurd but it's the insight to human phycology that makes this film a winner for me. Plus Kirsten Dunst has great boobs.
Watched Silver Linings Playbook last night. Very very very good film. Crazy characters, warm and complex relationships. Jennifer Lawrence popping her butt. A+
If you have children, NEVER EVER watch Antichrist. Just don't. Disparity is such a nasty emotion.
watched over christmas
Up
Shrek 4
Harry Potter - half blood prince and part 1 which were rubbish.
cars 2
Toy Story
Up is a great film for kids and immature adults like myself. Was pretty spectacular in 3D..
Arthur Christmas was also fantastic.
I watched the Alan Partridge film at long, bloody last. I have to say, I really enjoyed it, but I would have prefered a new series instead. The film had all the right moments, but really Lynn and Michael were mere cameos in this and in a series, you can write out extra characters more. I want another series 10 years on from the last more that Coogan who seems to want another film. Alan belongs in minor events, and messing them up. A siege type thing could only be a one off.
American Hustle - Christian Bales new movie.
Good story , good movie, he might get an oscar I reckon ;)
Well worth a watch
American Hustle was like a homage to Martin Scorsese and Bale was doing a De Niro impression. I enjoyed it. Great characters and some memorable scenes. Definitely will watch it again soon.
Out of the Furnace - If you like bleak revenge dramas about doomed characters, like me, you'll like this.
Only God Forgives - fuck knows what was going on in this? Basically a boring arthouse film all about style/look/settting etc.
Elysium - Matt Damon, nuff said. Matt did the end of Armagedon much better than Bruce Willis did. He also managd to break his arm on the way to work, get nicked, get to hospital, get it fixed, have a meeting with his robot parole officer, chat up his nurse mate and all that only cost him half a shift. The decaying earth they lived on looked shit but the health care was outstanding.
Man of Steel - I liked it, decent entertainment for a couple of hours, Zod was brilliant. I dont really know the story properly and watched it with someone who did, they kept tutting so I had to stab them.
I watched The Grave of the Fireflies, a Japanese animation film from 1988. The Americans are destroying Japan and Seito is forced to look after his sister Setsuko after his Mum dies. It is beautifully drawn film, with some lovely music, but boy, is it a sad one. The best thing I have seen in a while, a really bleak portrait of a nation at the end of war and empire.
My wife had the same review.Quote:

Turbo - a DreamWorks animated film
good movie - stereotypical against-all-odds, follow-your-dream theme, feel-good-at-the-end - great to watch with my kids
about a slug that through a loophole is racing in the Indiananapolis 500!
Rush - A must see film... How come none of you English blokes ever talked about the rivalry between these 2 and never mentioned how fucken cool James Hunt was? I strongly recommend this one.
Lone Survivor - Based on a true story about 4 Navy Seals who were attacked by the Taliban... Must see what a great film this was.
Class of 92 - Footy documentary about Man Untd players. What a solid documentary this was and watching those moments replay was top stuff. Had to keep putting it back when Nicky Butt talked his thick accent I couldn't understand for shit was he was saying... lmao.
Carrie - The new remake it was ok... I mean you seen the first one you've seen this one. Worth a watch.
Miss Bala - It's a Mexican film about a girl who want's to be in a beauty peagent and on a night out ends up getting involved with drug traffickers.
Runner Runner - I def. recommend watching it... It was an interesting storyline. I will say the ending is a bit anticipated/you kinda figured it out before it happened. But a good watch nonetheless.
Don Jon - It was decent... It started off a little repetative but then picked up halfway. Overall its worth a watch.
Will try and watch these during the week...
Anchor Man 2
Gravity
American Hustle
Thor Dark World
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I just finished watching Blue Velvet, great movie I thought. Seriously fucked up but with great performances all round and a solid mystery film. Dennis Hopper plays the most psychotic villain I've perhaps ever seen, purely disturbing. The whole movie is completely insane really, but that's David Lynch's thing.
Elysium - Memphis, you gave Matt's ending away you utter cunt. Not that it wasn't obvious or even mattered much to the story ;D
In Their Skin - this is like a diluted shit version of "Funny Games." I would have shot the kid, "wife" and cunt within about 10 seconds of them coming in my house. If you've got a gun and someone is the otherside of the door talking to you, just shoot the cunt through the door. The end.
Fire with Fire - starts interesting, a fireman is a witness to a murder by a major white supremacist so goes into witness protection. The next 80 mins are stupid painting by numbers pony action rubbish.
Gravity - I liked this. It's not a sci-fi movie more about survival, life, evolution, loss, etc set in space.
agreed!Quote:

I watched a couple more recent movies but can't even remember which ones so they couldn't have been that good. I did rewatch a few classic movies and they all blow everything else to bits. If you haven't watched these films you need to.
Un prophete.
City of god.
The Jaques Mesrine films starring Vincent Cassel.
The lives of others.
American Hustle is a great film.
Amy Adams almost had me fooled with that accent. Story got a little confusing for me towards the end... Will have to rewatch :-\
Watched Wanted and it wasa great action packed film which showed Jolie's ass. It had the best special effects i have seen but the story was utter nonsense.
The purge - toilet, don't bother.
Youngblood - 80's ice hockey film with Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves. Watched it to death as a kid, mainly due to Cynthia Gibbs arse and tea with Miss McGill. Still would, on both counts.
Bad Grandpa ;D the grandson at the beauty pageant is hilarious ;)
Escape Plan. Arnie and Sly :-\ fun but typical
Riddick. Loved it ;D
Oh and Runner, Runner with JT :-X was all right :)
Watched Wolf of Wall Street, and found it had vast amounts of sex and drugs.
I watched The Elephant Man again which is a film I have always enjoyed. I watched it with my wife who was less impressed. I like the acting, the dialogue, the sets. John Merrick had such a rotten life and you just want to be nice to him as most others are mocking him, trying to make money from him, orare there to satiate their curiosity into 'freaks'. Even Hopkins questions at home: "Am I am good man?" Only good men can ask such a question. Really Merrick is just a lonely disfigured man and knows that he is very different from them and ultimately just wants to sleep normally, like they do, on his back. And eventually he does and he dies because of the curvature of the spin. Why were you so cruel to John Merrick, God? After all you are omnipotent and control and do everything. We are on our own and humans themselves have learned to respect John Merrick.
I do have a deep concern for people who genuinely have something wrong with them and it doesn't get more severe than the afflictions of John Merrick.
If Merrick had been around today he would probably be claiming DLA rather than taking part in meaningful work as an entertainer in a freak show. Sponging bastard.
That post sums you up Greenbeanz. Of course such a man would be unable to work normally in this and age. You are waltzing around with some attempt to say that this type of person I don't care for. It is this type of person that should be protected, many of the others are a waste. I believe in the likes of John Merrick. I do not believe in all the normal people acting like regular scum.
Your behaviour is just appalling. I watched a film, I enjoy it and care, but not for the lies that Britain tries to sell. Multiple breeders are certainly no elephant women.
Devils Pass on netflix I found was very entertaining. It's shot in the "found footage" sort of why but I think the story and premise are a cool what if and just someone's idea/theory about what happened. It's based on the Dyatlov Pass incident.
Link if your interested! Check out the movie if you have an hour n a half to kill.
Dyatlov Pass incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hunger Games - Catching Fire. Was worth a watch :rolleyes:
That chick is fuckable.. id smash.. she's also in American Hustle which was decent.Quote:

Finally got around to watching Tarantino's "Inglorius Basterds",nothing in common with the original barring a cameo from its director but a lot of fun. Tight script, great dialogue and a brilliant cast. Brad Pitt hamming it up was funny and I really enjoyed it.
Miles before you have another epic sense of humour failure I love David Lynch and Hopkins.The Elephant Man is not, despite its critical acclaim, Lynch's best film IMHO but it is good. Hurt is a bit OTT and it does feel a bit over sentimentalised and mawkish. Eraserhead still blows me away for it's soundtrack and photography alone and was some way to announce yourself as a directorial auter. You can feel Lynch's background as a painter and sculptor beating through it. It is an aberrant and eerie pulse that flutters and murmurs at times but it stays with you like a recurring dream of suffocation. Great Stuff.
The Grey - Liam Neeson, wolfs hunting plane crash survivors, thought it was gonna be utter toilet and i'd turn off halfway through, got a surprise, it's about our instinct for survival even when we know we are completely fucked.
Frozen Ground - John Cusack, Nic Cage, serial killer film based on real events. Utterly boring.
Lone Survivor - yeahhh OK. As it was based on real life events I couldn't help but think it was just a massive cock up. I was looking at them more as dummies than heroes.
The Wolf of Wall Street - funking hilarious. The whole "cerebral palsy" bit was beyond hilarious. Scorsese is still the man.
"The Room" .....wow, just wow. A horrible movie, a horrible horrible movie. Hilariously acted, written, and it's just a fucking train wreck. If you enjoy shitty movies then you'll LOVE this one, yikes :o
lots to catch up on but last was Gravity. More engaging than I thought it would be.
Did you see it in 3D at the pictures?Quote:

Hated Brad Pitt's poor attempt at a Tennessee accent. Could've done without it.
I also thought the French girl (Melanie Laurent) was quite hot. Too bad she dies.
She dies? "No spoilers" (it's in the thread title, capital letters?!... :rolleyes:)
