Twonky Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Twonky, not having a go but the post before you say dont watch trailers these days as they spoil the film, and in the very next post you embed a youtube clip of a trailer. A little bit hypocritical no ? I vetted that trailer beforehand and concluded that it was a proper 'old fashioned' trailer, that just gives a flavour, a sense of the film, without actually giving anything away. As such I deemed it suitable for incorporation into my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twonky Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 THE MACHINIST last night, came out back in 2004 but I've never seen it before, and wasn't really drawn to it since I'm not a big fan of Christian Bale. However, got to hand it to the man he gives a stunning performance in this film, including physically, as he lost a massive amount of weight as part of playing his character. (His gauntness is genuinely quite shocking and really adds to the intense sense of darkness and dread that permeates the film.) Don't want to say too much as it'd be easy to be spoilerific, and having had a look at the trailer that gives too much away. In fact, I'd say the less you know about this film going into it the better. Just watch it would be my recommendation! (NOTE - It's not gruesome or violent particularly, it's only a Cert 15, but it is very dark and brooding and ultimately not a feelgood film, so not one to watch if you're after some 'special cuddling' as the credits roll.)

Shill Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Aye, watched the Machinist when it first came out. Not good for people that suffer with Insomnia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great film, watched it some time last year not knowing what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Did you know the main character was deliberately named similarly to the Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Watched "Warrior" last night with some friends and thought it was superb. Tom Hardy (along with Michael Fassbender) is showing he is poised to become the De Niro of this generation. Powerfully acted, and yes, a little cliched, but very enjoyable stuff.

Whatsername Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Star Wars 3D - meh I dont think it helps that the Palace's glasses are so scratched that everything looks like it's soft focus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilitantDogOwner Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Tomorrow, When the War Began. Red Dawn, as written by someone who has watched too much Neighbours. And unfortnately, left so open ended that there will be a sequel this year. Worst. Film. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC-Drift.com Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Star Wars 3D - ok there was a 3D-ish effect but wouldn't call it 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Knuckle. A real life documentary filmed over 12 years about Irish Gypsy travellers who bare knuckle fight other travellers who are often extended family members with grudge. Good film.

somewhatdamaged Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Rottentomatoes (and audiences!) would disagree Twonky. Superb movie - probably the best one i've seen so far in 2012 I would like to see Hardy get an Oscar nod, but i don't think it will happen.

Emotionally stunted American teenagers might like it, I suppose. Edited February 25, 2012 by Twonky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Coming from the guy who thought "Hobo With a Shotgun" was decent..... I thought "Blue Valentine" was a bag of shit too. Each to their own i guess... I find Ryan Gosling almost looks retarded in everything he's in (with the exception of Fracture) Edited February 25, 2012 by somewhatdamaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
