The Movie Thread

Up in The Air. Great film. One of my favourites of '09. Funny but with a strong emotional resonance. Clooney is charming, and Kendrick will probably win the Best Actress Oscar.

Through A Glass Darkly. I'm caught in two minds. At times it is quite flat and uninteresting, but in others it's moving and powerful. Karin's illness gives the film a claustrophobic edge, and it sort of envelopes all the characters around her. It can be horrifying. The dialogue at the end ultimately makes it worthwhile.

Saw Click the other night.

Especially when a girl with huge ***s comes against Adam Sandler's car :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[RC]

Lol.

Saw Jeniffer's Body the other night.
Godawful.

Semi-Pro, kinda funny, but nothing in comparison to his greatest (anchorman)

Haven't seen Semi Pro but yeah, he'll never top Anchorman.

The Bridge on The River Kwai. The ending... Man, and Alec Guinness is just brilliant. 10/10.

Revolutionary Road. The leads are both very good, but in the less melodramatic scenes it becomes limp. Leaves a lot to think about though. 7/10.

Will Ferrel's greatest has to be OLD SCHOOL. What A Film.
Watched Happy Gilmore last night, :lol: :lol: :lol:
Brings back some memory I tink it up there with Waterboy as Sandler's best

for the 1000000000000000000th time but still with pleasure

Watched "When the Wind Blows" last night. A truely stunning film. Mingles the sad with the ridiculous and is a very good portrayal of the realities of living in the shadow of nuclear holocaust. I'd recommend it for anyone. 9/10

Going to try and finally watch the sixth Harry Potter tonight. Apparently it's not all that, but wharreva ini.
Either that or a Hitchcock.

Nothing very special to post here :lol:

 

[bates]

Saw Sherlock Holmes ( which I find an awesome movie, looking forward to the sequel) and Inglorious ******** ( good movie) but not really my cup of Tea

Watched Million Dollar Baby last night.
Amazing film. One of the best films ive seen in a long time.
Great plot, brilliant characters and what a freaking ending!

You came to your senses and saw the Hitchcock instead, right?

In fairness, the sixth Potter movie is a big improvement over the 4th and 5th. Still mediocre though.

Took my daughter and her cousin to the movies to see "Percy Jackson & The Lighting Thief" on Sunday afternoon.

They enjoyed it but I didnt. 5/10

 

[RC]

500 Days Of Summer - it was ok.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - quite a poor film.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Au Revoir Les Enfants. An authentic, heartfelt portrayal of the life of a child in France during WW2. 9/10.

M. One of the best movies ever made? Not for me. Very disappointing. The investigation side is tiresome, but it is saved from being awful by Peter Lorre, who is great as the child murderer. 5/10.

 

[feicarsinn]

Had a bit of a blockbuster saturday, watched Braveheart, Annie Hall, Citizen Kane and Silence of the Lambs. Epic.

 

[shtove]

Citizen Kane is a bridge too far. Never got why it was soooo great. Silence of the Lambs: "It's ok, you're safe. The FBI is here ..." - remember that got a great laugh in the cinema.

Butterfly Effect II. Heard great things about the original, but this was only ok. Got silly with the thugs wanting their investment back and the shooting in the restaurant. 5/10.
