LeMarchand Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - old (2004 I think) film, but my absolute favourite. Keep meaning to watch this, but Mme LeMarchand suffers from extreme Carrey-phobia and have never found the time when she's away.
LeMarchand Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Bridesmaids. I found it funny, although the lead character wasn't easy to sympathise with.
featured_spectre Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 The book of life - fantastic childrens film, teaching about life and death, and a heartwarming story of love also.
LeMarchand Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 The book of life - fantastic childrens film, teaching about life and death, and a heartwarming story of love also. Maybe I'll have to give that a look. The trailer hurt my eyes and didn't really sell it to me.
mac_shinobi Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Last couple of movies I watched were : Hansel and Gretel : Witch Hunters : Lucy :
Little-Miss Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Mmmm Keanu Reeves... Anyway, my new housemates have pretty much got a film on most of the time, which is quite nice on a lazy Saturday. This weekend we watched Moon (Moon (2009) - IMDb). Saw it years ago but had forgotten what a great film it is.
sparkeh Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 On a bit of Swedish kick at the moment, these three have been awesome (and all available on Netflix): Headhunters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5am704I0zkM The Hunters (couldn't find trailer): And its sequel, False Trail:
LeMarchand Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) www.youtube.com/watch?v=HddkucqSzSM Really enjoyed this and Kristen Wiig + dark hair = . Edited November 3, 2014 by LeMarchand
janthony Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I would have to strongly suggest Withnail and I - an awesomely quotable film!
pantscat Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I would have to strongly suggest Withnail and I - an awesomely quotable film! Monty, you terrible...! On a different note - the last movie I saw was Event Horizon. Not quite sure how I managed to miss that, it's a cracker.
Griff Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The Last Gladiators (Docu about ice hockey enforcers) Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (watched on flight back from US on an awful screen but still enjoyed it)
MYK-IT Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Alien & Aliens Director's Cuts Double Bill at Cinema last week! http://www.myvue.com/latest-movies/info/film/alien-aliens-directors-cuts-double-bill

rickjames Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The Last Gladiators (Docu about ice hockey enforcers) Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (watched on flight back from US on an awful screen but still enjoyed it) I really enjoyed The Last Gladiator, but man it was depressing seeing Nilan fall down the way he did. If you want a similar film it's worth checking out the Broad Street Bullies documentary HBO did, Liev Schreiber's narration is excellent to boot.
rickjames Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Also Nightcrawler is great and if any of you bother seeing Interstellar anywhere but an IMAX cinema you will be hung by Christopher Nolan.
LeMarchand Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 if any of you bother seeing Interstellar anywhere but an IMAX cinema you will be hung by Christopher Nolan. I get annoyed when directors and reviewers come up with stuff like that. Most of us would jump at the chance of seeing films in IMAX; unfortunately not all of us live near major cities or can afford justify the increased time/financial cost of travelling to one.
Dos_Box Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The Book of Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBw5YScs8iQ And very good it was too

Plus some of us wear spectacles and being forced to wear an extra clunky pair of glasses is just uncomfortable!
bennz Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I watched "Lets be Cops" last night quite funny. Not seen a good horror in a while, looking forward to a new Judge Dredd
rickjames Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Well, just read about the effort the man has gone into making it - Christopher Nolan: the man who rebooted the blockbuster | Tom Shone | Film | The Guardian Wouldn't you want to see it how the director intended it to be? Still facepalm when I knew of people who Gravity in 2D. 2D!
LeMarchand Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Wouldn't you want to see it how the director intended it to be? Still facepalm when I knew of people who Gravity in 2D. 2D! Interstellar: Yes I would. If Mr Nolan wants to send his chauffeur around to ferry me to/from a suitable theatre I'd be happy to oblige. Like I said, we don't all live within easy reach of IMAX screens. Gravity: I saw it in 2D. I don't "see" 3D. I suspect it's because my brain is so highly evolved than it isn't fooled by the illusion . I also think that it's an excuse to shove a few more quid on the price of a ticket. Judging by the rapidly decreasing incidence of 3D showings in our local cinema, I'm gathering that I'm not alone in my area in my dislike of the format.
Tesla Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I never see 3d, i have a lazy eye, at about 25% vision ( i cant read the writing on this page with it without glasses) so 3d generally just doesnt work for me, and 3d glasses dont tend to go over normal glasses very well.
LeMarchand Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Finally got around to watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkULMOFpuCo I'm assuming that they wouldn't knock off for the day until at least one person had a broken bone!
Norphy Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I never see 3d, i have a lazy eye, at about 25% vision ( i cant read the writing on this page with it without glasses) so 3d generally just doesnt work for me, and 3d glasses dont tend to go over normal glasses very well. In contrast, my vision is pretty much perfect (My optician said so!) and I still hate watching 3D movies. They give me eyestrain and a thumping headache by the end of the film. The last film I saw in 3D was Days of Future Past and I regretted it. Liked the film, hated the headache.
