House Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Saw The Brave One a couple of nights ago, it's sort of like Death Wish except Jodie Foster is Charles Bronson and she's a bit more upset with herself for becoming a killer, except she isn't that appalled to like, stop killing people. Very good, if a bit on the brutal side in places, and somewhat morally ambiguous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Watched Shoot 'Em Up last night, which is about the most mental film I've ever seen. Part of me was thinking 'I really shouldn't be enjoying this' but I couldn't help myself, Mrs House nearly pissed herself laughing at the shooting+shagging sequence. There is kind of a point in there too, although I'm not entirely sure what it is yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I watched Chapter 27 last night and was more than pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed it. IMDb Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 'The Mist' is tonight's entry - I really don't want to do any spoilers, so I'll simply recommend that folks seek out this unusually good film for themselves. http://www.reelviews.net/movies/m/mist.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Take Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Off work ill today so re-watched Fight Club - had forgotten how good it was and it's given me a strong urge to re-watch se7en. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Take Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Have now watched, through lack of anything else on, The Break Up. It's not nearly as funny as I expected, but is a hell of a lot better film than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogie boogie Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 watched Switchblade Romance the other night. rather good French psychological horror type film. good twist at the end and a shot of a french teenage girl in the shower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Watched 'The Mist' a couple of nights ago, which despite sounding very much like a crappy B movie, is actually a seriously good film - directed by the dude who did Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. The CGI could be better (it was made for fuck all money) - but the strength of the story and the characters mean it really doesn't matter. Won't do any spoilers as such but I'll play safe anyway - don't go expecting any nice Hollywood endings, as Mrs House said, it feels like being punched in the stomach. http://www.reelviews.net/movies/m/mist.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrotlima Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I caught "Election" on Sky Movies Indie or whatever it calls itself nowadays the other night :- IMDb link. It really wasn't what I was expecting and I was more than pleasantly surprised by it. Well worth sticking on the Sky + planner for a rainy day.

spanna Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Good luck chuck on dvd. Absolutely p1ssed my pants laughing at it. Its very blokey crude humour. So was perfect for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Watched Blood diamond tonight, cracking film i thought. Although Leonardo played a good role but trying to pass him off as a hardman was a bit much. Great story though and worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Aflame Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Finally got around to seeing 'Bottle Rocket' and wasn't disappointed. Any Owen Wilson fans out there? Anyone like Wes Anderson's 'Rushmore'? Its written by Wes and Owen and directorial debut for Wes. Give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I Am Legend. Film itself was watchable, although not great but the ending truly sucked. Definitely a case where an extra 30 minutes or so could have helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I recently revisited An American Werewolf in London. Man, that's aged badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Rider Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 2 films I have seen recently. The Wind That Shakes The Barley. Wasn't sure if I would be into it, about the history of Irelands struggles set in the 20's. I really enjoyed it, although in the nature of the thing it is quite graphic. The Terminal. Tom Hanks as the foreigner stranded in New York airport because his country underwent a coup while he was in the air, and when he landed in the USA his country didn't exist. Quite light hearted and funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
