I really hope this isn't one of your 'nights in'.

I AM THE LAW...........

 

[sphericalfox]

Just watched Expendables 2. ****ing dreadful.

 

Watched Mud the other night, and it was okay.

 

Also managed to catch up and see Cosmopolis. DC dropped a bollock on that one.

The Wolverine,really enjoyed it,one of the best ones in the franchise

 

[hairy]

Alpha Papa loved it

[Finnegan]

I thought Carrie was okay, Julianne Moore was excellent. It's a fairly bog standard King. People get q bit dewy eyed about "classic" films but when it's a fresh adaptation of a novel I don't see what's so sacred.

Far more offended by Hollywood's need to remake Infernal Affairs and OldBoy. They did okay with the Departed, mind, so lets hope OB isn't terrible. Cast is okay at least, I like Brolin.

I really enjoyed this and if you don't somehow feel a little moved by this film then you need to check your pulse as your probably dead.

Just seen the new trailer for the Hobbit part 2, I've forgot how part 1 ended and didn't even think a new one was out this year, is this the last or will there be a part 3 to complete the story?

 

will be re-watching part 1 over the week.

 

 

They will be making part 3. I just hope they don't break that in two parts!

 

 

 

Watched Ides of March and J.Edgar over the weekend. I liked Ides of March- a nice crash course in dirty politics. I did not enjoyed J.Edgar on the other hand- They made a mistake with going for flashbacks story-telling technique I think.

Watched Gravity in 3D today. Loved every minute of it, tense and dramatic. I love the way they squeezed every bit of suspense out of the story, it's gripping all the way until the ending.

Funny what you can do with only two lead parts over the course of just 90 minutes.

 

Intelligent use of CGI, too. For once, the effects complement the story.

[MC Prussian]

Oh, and the preview of 47 Ronin was astonishing - can't wait to see the full feature.

There's only one Ronin, and it had Sean Bean in so it wins by default.

Have you seen Alfonso Cuaron's son's spin-off....

The wolverine

 

Action movie for the lads.

 

Very enjoyable if you like that type of movie.

 

Ironman 3 - I found it very good.

[Guest ttfn]

I knew that poster said "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". I knew it. But I still read it as "Invasion of the Body Snatches". I need help.

[Itsthejoeker]

Watched about a fair few Denzel Washington films this week, incredible actor!

[Guest seanfox778]

Watched Argo today, thought it was quite a good flick although I hear in real life it was the Canadians who came up with the majority of the plan.

Watching Salvation Boulavard at the moment, it's got a great cast but it's a bit strange to be honest

[MC Prussian]

Oh, and Matthew McConaughey did a magnificent job preparing for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, losing a considerable amount of weight to look like a real AIDS victim:

 

And Jared Leto as a crossdresser.

 

Loving it.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes,disturbing found footage movie

 

[Leicfox]

 

I sat and watched this last night with the Mrs and to my surprise I actually enjoyed it, even though it's totally contrived. Nevertheless it's well worth a watch this Christmas.
