rich_tech Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Robocop - The new "12" version on netflix. I wept afterwards at how good that could have been.
LeMarchand Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 Pitch Perfect. Lots of fun if you have a tolerance for modern musicals. Otherwise, avoid like the plague. A bit like "Glee goes to college" (back when Glee was a bit more edgy and before it turned into the "poor Kurt" show) with a lot less angst.
Bezwick Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 At home would be Guardians of the Galaxy, nice effects pretty boring story though. At the Cinema would be Pride, loved it, very British and very funny Film.
3s-gtech Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 The Imitation Game. Very good, geeky in many respects and a fascinating glimpse at history (obviously dramatised, but still).
bushby Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 last film i watched would be robocop (2012) on netflix and in the cinema it would have to be thor dark worlds with my old boss.
LeMarchand Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 Got a problem with our Tivo so trying to watch as much as possible before it's replaced, so: Don Jon A porn-obsessed young man falls in love, but finds that his "hobby" doesn't go down well with the object of his affections. No trailer posted for obvious reasons! Actually quite a sweet and amusing movie, but I suspect that director/writer/star is one of Satan's imps as no good can possibly come of any discussion of this film with a lady you may be interested in/in a relationship with. Unless you lie or are a saint.
LeMarchand Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxOSPfUw3qw I, Frankenstein Far from the worst film in the world, but also far from the best. Only worth your time if you like the purty lights when the angels and/or demons get killed.
elsiegee40 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 The last movie I saw was the Imitation Game and tonight I'm going to see Mr Turner
featured_spectre Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 The last film I saw was Saw 3d (binge watched the whole series this weekend)...next film to watch is the green mile or shawshank redemption, just because.
Tesla Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Get the tissues ready if you're going to watch The Green Mile.
Garacesh Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Get the tissues ready if you're going to watch The Green Mile. Like the drink.. But not spelt the same ;_; @nephilim Shawshank Redemption is easily one of my favourite films
featured_spectre Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Get the tissues ready if you're going to watch The Green Mile. Well I dont cry at films, I rarely do. I'm a cold and heartless sod like that...
pooley Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Maze runner - now there's 2 hours of my life I wont be getting back anytime soon 1
Garacesh Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Well I dont cry at films, I rarely do. I'm a cold and heartless sod like that... Nor me.. Big Fish.. though.. Someone was chopping onions.. Maze runner - now there's 2 hours of my life I wont be getting back anytime soon Yeah, it did look a bit terrible.
CHR1S Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Inbetweeners 2 ....... Biggest load of tosh I have ever seen and I like the inbetweeners. Pointless, repetitive and not even remotely funny.
LeMarchand Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 next film to watch is the green mile or shawshank redemption, just because. If you only see one prison-set Stephen King movie, make it Shawshank. Get the tissues ready if you're going to watch The Green Mile. Despite my sig I can quite easily be moved to emotion by films, but GM just didn't do it for me.
LeMarchand Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Outsourced The film the short-lived and little-seen US sitcom was based on covers much of the same ground, but with a gentler, more indie, sensibility. You can find the whole film on Youtube; not sure how legitimately.
Seb1780 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 If you only see one movie, make it Shawshank. FTFY
LeMarchand Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 The Hobbit 3 I'm sure anyone who's interested has seen a trailer. Entertaining, but lacking the emotional heft of LotR. (There were some sniffles around the cinema at one point, though). At least Jackson reigns in some of his comedy schtick (there's a sequence in one of the trailers that has been excised from the film).
LeMarchand Posted December 18, 2014 Author Posted December 18, 2014 Paddington Nagged into seeing this by the "bonus daughters". Surprisingly entertaining and not as rubbish as the first trailer looked (the second has most of the best bits apart from the "hard stare"). Worth a look if you have little 'uns, but unless you're a big fan not really worth a cinema outing as an adult.
Garacesh Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 lmao, 'bonus daughters', what a wonderful way to put it
Dos_Box Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 The Hobbit 3 I'm sure anyone who's interested has seen a trailer. Entertaining, but lacking the emotional heft of LotR. (There were some sniffles around the cinema at one point, though). At least Jackson reigns in some of his comedy schtick (there's a sequence in one of the trailers that has been excised from the film). Saw that yesterday morning. I rather liked it. To sum it up in one sentance would be: Burny, burny, talky, talky, fighty, fighty, fighty, fighty, sniffle. 1
LeMarchand Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Exodus - Gods and Kings Christian gets biblical. Looks good, goes on for far too long before fizzling out. Not enough "sense of wonder" and too religious for the New Rationalist brigade but (oddly) tries to downplay the God aspect so probably annoying for the Strident Christians. The Xmas binge consisted of Idiocracy (good idea, not that funny), The Hole (Joe Dante - what happened to you?), The Lego Movie (overrated IMHO), Finding Christmas (with the missus - honest!), Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (OKish), Possession (the A.S. Byatt one - loved it), Into the Storm (not a patch on Twister), Gnomeo and Juliet (far too much Elton), and the first 4 Fast & Furious movies (surprisingly good/where's Vin/where's Paul/ludicrous but fun).
