Miss Take Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 don't know how I'd missed this...watched the Hudsucker Proxy for the first time last nite. hahaha brilliant stuff from the Coen Bro's The Hudsucker Proxy is my favourite Coen brothers film by far. Also I can't stand Fargo. I keep trying to watch it but the accents just grate too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.os Theory Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 watched Quatum of Solace last nite...really enjoyed it, got to admit Daniel Craig is a fantastic Bond. Really looking forward to the next one ( and possibly his last?!? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katman Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 watched Quatum of Solace last nite...really enjoyed it, got to admit Daniel Craig is a fantastic Bond. Really looking forward to the next one ( and possibly his last?!? ) Didn't think much of it myself. Thought the story didn't get going and the baddie turned out to be a Utility Company and what was that building at the end made out of to make it blow up so easily.

lethargy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I watched Fred Claus on Sunday afternoon. Oh dear! As bad as rubbing a rusty grater on my unmentionables. I think Vince Vaughan was actually swapped out for a fat hairy potato in a leather jacket a few years ago - you couldn't tell from the acting standard. I then followed it up with the Coen's 'The Man Who Wasn't There' which is a truly outstanding piece of work. Swings and roundabouts...

yehyehyeh Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Went with the family to see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa last night. The kids enjoyed it. I found it absolutely dire. The penguins were the only characters who even raised a smile. A quick head count - less than 40 people in the cinema. i saw this the other week, i dont watch many kids films, but i found quite funny in places, mostly the penguins, they had some great lines, but the story was pants and it all seemed to happen so easily.......

oogie boogie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just saw an interview about Gonzo: The life of Hunter S Thompson and the trailer for Wolverine. Both of them look brilliant. Apparently there's a re make of I Spit on Your Grave coming out next year. Not sure what to make of that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Outlaw with Sean Bean, Danny Dyer, Bob Hoskins. Absolutely awful film. Waste of time. It's about a group of people fed up with the violence in the UK. Sean Bean is a soldier just back from a tour of duty, finds his wife with someone else. Danny Dyer gets beaten up after a car accident. Lennie James is a barrister whose pregnant wife gets killed by a member of the gang he is trying to prosecute in court. Another member, a student was attacked and put in hospital and wants to get his own back on his attackers. They form a vigilante group to bring down primarily the gang that killed the barristers wife. Despite having a good cast, the pace was slow and story poor. They all seemed to be able to use guns regardless of what background they came from. (Sean Bean, the soldier being the exception). And everyone seemed to be able to leave their day jobs when they wanted to do their vigilante work. When it became too dangerous the vigilantes left town for a bit, again no questions asked by workplaces, friends or family as to where they had been! And they all drove about in an inconspicuous black Land Rover Discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Watched Meet Dave the other night, was quite funny. Gabrielle Union made it more enjoyable to watch, she's hot. Edited January 2, 2009 by Jimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Son of Rambo. Brilliant it was too, surprisingly funny, a bit oddball and it managed to move me a bit too. Nice bit of 80's music in it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltire Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Can recommend Rise Of The Footsoldier. Based on the true story of Carlton Leach and associates. Carlton worked his way up from football casual in the ICF to feared Essex gangster. The story starts briefly in the 70's but is mainly focused on his "career" during the 80's and 90's, building up to the Rettendon Range Rover murders of 1995 A fast paced film that grips the attention from start to finish.
