What films have you watched recently?

Clarky

went to see Elysium last night..

I really liked it... had that cool District 9 vibe..

best new film I've seen for ages..

Myranda

I saw Kick Ass 2.

The most succinct review possible would be "yay!"... expanding on that a little - if you like the first you'll like this one, if you didn't like the first why are you still reading?! (I liked the first one)

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe anyone is capable of not liking kick ass 1. You may not have seen it (and that's forgivable) but if you have seen it it's a basic law of the universe to like it. Anyone who doesn't is probably insane, or a deviant or both.

LOTR VHS tape 1 (Saturday)
LOTR VHS tape 2 (Sunday)
LOTR VHS tape 3 (Monday)

The gf had only seen bits of the 3rd one so we decided to make the 3 evenings into cuddle-on-the-settee-with-film-and-wine evenings. Verdict (hers, not mine): LOTR is "quite good". She's not read the book. She also observed the "sound is good", but I had to point out that it was coming from a high quality hifi not the telly.

I couldn't help thinking the actor mumbled/whispered too much. I understand the dramatic effect, but to catch what they were saying required volume such that explosions or other loud stuff risked damaging the speaker cones. Or maybe my hearing is knackered ...

A wizard never mumbles, Philbo Baggins!! he .... precisely as ... as he ... ...

I just read the plot of Elysium on Wikipedia - what a rush

Film weekend

El Topo - very surreal spaghetti western

Avatar (again) - I do like the Fern Gully remake

LOTR1 & LOTR2 - still epic

Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince - The missus commented that these are well made films - I concur

Elysium - Good, but not a patch on District 9, I was a tad disappointed.

First of the Few (British wartime propaganda story of the spitfire and its creator R J Mitchell)

I fell asleep the other night in front of the tele and woke up in the early hours to some lesbian, Mexican nuns cavorting in front of me and shooting each other. I had to double check that I hadn't sat on the remote and subscribed to something X rated. It transpires I was watching "Nude nuns with big guns" on the Horror Channel. It was intriguing!

Searching for Sugarman

It's the story of Rodriguez, a singer song writer who released 2 albums in the late sixties \ early seventies which bombed in the states. He returns to his labouring job and back to obscurity , meanwhile he becomes as big as Dylan in South Africa but doesn't know

It's a fantastic docu film of a true story, absolutely brilliant. Check out the IMD \ rotton tom ratings and the Bafta award

Believe it or not it's been on before.  It's a slasher revenge movie, it's not that bad (or that nude really).

Skipped

The Place Beyond the Pines.

I loved it but I do understand why IMDb has several people giving the film 10 stars and several giving 1 star.

"Babel".......................total bollocks.

The Conjuring - great atmospheric music - suitably spooky & had me jumping in the seat like he who isn't half wise

VimFuego

just the trailers for the conjuring were enough to give me screaming nightmares. Think it's best I not see the film. Ever.

2/10

Watched Cloud Atlas again this evening.  Second time around and it was much easier to see the connections.   Still a great film

Hansel & Gretel.

Great fun - needs a sequel.

I caught "Clue, The Movie" the other night.  It's funny, goofy fun, being familiar with the board game is essential.

Olympus Has Fallen - one of the comments on the DVD package was "Die Hard in the White House", which is exactly right.  A big, dumb, silly movies - does exactly what it says on the tin, 6.5/10.
