K.os Theory Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 watched 300 last nite, pretty enjoyable. Not as gory as I expected it to be though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Watched "London To Brighton" last night. Not exactly a cheery little flick, but bloody good. HMV are knocking it out for tuppence* at the moment, highly recommended. http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=614368 *£5.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shill Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Cheers Chopsticks, I think i will get that this weekend. Looks a good gritty film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 This Is England - Wasn't expecting much from this film, but was very pleasantly surprised. The reviews did pick up the flaws in it, however, they also called out that it rose above those mistakes to stake its claim as a seriously good film. Wins bonus points from me for decent Northern accents (although I'm Lancashire rather than Yorkshire), but mainly for managing to genuinely portray a believable understanding of where skinheads came from and how someone might become a part of them. It's not a sympathetic portrayal, but it does have a crack at understanding it. Moreover, Stephen Graham's performance is dangerously brilliant, it's possibly the best "insane" characterisation I've ever seen. Seek out British films everyone, we're really quite good at it! http://www.reelviews.net/movies/t/this_england.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.os Theory Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 watched Memento last nite for the first time...what a cracker of a movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Based on a recommendation that was on here ages ago I downloaded Inside I'm Dancing (cos I couldn't find it in the video shop) Very good movie - LOL funny in parts with suberb acting. James McAvoy is excellent and nails the accent 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.os Theory Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 smoking aces last nite, a great fun, Alicia Keyes looked smouldering in it as a gun-toting assassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I went to the cinema to see 30 Days Of Night tonight, and it was brilliant, but for all the wrong reasons. I was really looking forwards to it as I had enjoyed Steve Niles' graphic novels. The three books are incredibly dark and brilliantly illustrated. Anyway, back to the film. The relatively unknown cast (Josh Hartnett aside) was more than credible, as was the cinematography. The slasher type gore was brilliantly executed and well filmed too. Where the film fell down (billing itself as a horror) , is that it was actually laugh out loud hilarious. As a horror, it does not rate, but as a really good fun 'B' Movie, it really was brilliant, and well worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauer21 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Saw "Lions for Lambs" at the palace the other night. As political drama's go, I really enjoyed it. The missus didnt understand it and wanted to know why there wasnt a definitive ending. Note: Never take a woman to see a political drama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Shoot em up: If you are looking for a film with great scriptwriting and dialogue then this film is not for you. If you want an hour and a half of an angry person shooting other people in the most bizzare ways possible then you will love it. I had no misconceptions watching this and just wanted a film that was not very taxing on the brain, the film lacked so many things but was good to watch and have a laugh. I can see this becoming a drinking game soon, every time some one dies you down a drink. Within the first 10 mins you would be hammered! worth a watch in my opinion.

ans Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I watched Eastern Promises at the cinema in Manchester on Wednesday. Not quite what I was expecting, I thought it was more action driven but it was an excellent drama. Mortenson in particular was commanding. The violence in parts was very graphic, but not gratuitously so. The kiss at the end was unnecessary though, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

thebees Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My lovely daughter suggested we get a horror film out on Saturday, so I let her choose one because Im a little out of touch....OMFG! It was called Hostel 2 or something like that, there were bits where I just couldnt watch, it was a bit gruesome to say the least - quite liked the story though and mostly thought the film was ace. (still having nightmares though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Um, ok - not a cinema release but watched "Boy A" last night on C4. I knew it wouldn't be easy viewing but stuck with it. Glad I did, when I'm finished living out of cardboard boxes (moving house, not homeless..) I'll buy the book. Stunning, moving performance by Andrew Garfield; Peter Mullan was in predictably fine form too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I had a bit of a nostalgic evening the other day, and watched Letter To Brezhnev. I had completely forgotten about it until I was watching the 25 Years Of Channel 4 show the other week. God, it is a good film! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
