Let's have a films thread.

I'm trying to branch out a bit into foreign movies, and have just bought a couple of corkers on dvd.

An aussie number called The Horseman, brilliant revenge shocker and also a French horror called Switchblade Romance. I enjoyed both immensely but neither are for the faint-hearted!!

Watched Switchblade Romance and really enjoyed it,have you seen Crimson Rivers,Amsterdamed or Brotherhood of The Wolf

All 3 very good IMO

The QFT here in Belfast every so often has a LOTR day where they show all three films nearly back to back. It's tough going but really enjoyable.

Ohh blimey i dunno if i could watch them back to back, think i'd get a numb bum.

Predators last night,,bit slow to start off with but once it got going it wasn't too bad

[purpleronnie]

Watched 'The Forth Kind'.

What a load of shit!

It was suppose to have real life footage in the movie but when it did show you this footage it looked completely fake.

Definately not recommended.

2/10.

Yeah have to agree,saw this a while ago,didn't rate it at all !

Managed to get my hands on a very good copy of The A-team.

Personally i thought it was awesome, More Comedy than some Comedy films and more Action than some Action films. Totally over the top and the cast is absolutely perfect. Its not much on storyline but if you just want to disengage and have some fun then this is the film for you.

I watched it last night, I wouldn't go as far as awesome but it was decent and worth a watch.

[Fox You Forest]

New contender for worst film ever...

I'd agree with it being "hysterical" but probably not in the same way.

[purpleronnie]

Well I didn't think I could watch a worse film than The Forth Kind, I was wrong, Paranormal Activity...oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Have seen The Brotherhood of the Wolf, excellent movie, thanks for the other two.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning - Lovely stuff !!

[grth2004]

Watched THE BOX last night and i realy liked it although it wouldnt be everyones cup of tea . A film that makes you think in the same way as donnie darko did as its made by the same people , has anyone else watched it?

Just watched Kick Ass, and am quite embarrassed to say i enjoyed it. haha

[Tilley]

Every person that is my age and grew up with Toy Story needs to go see the third.

[Bellend Sebastian]

Finally got round to watching The Hurt Locker.

I know opinion was divided on here about it earlier in the year, and I'm afraid to say I fall into the camp that think it's, well, a bit shit.

I've really no idea why it scooped the awards it did

[AjcW]

So I know I am going to be in the minority here but.... Inception, im not feeling its current 3rd best film of all time ranking .

The first hours is probably one of the most uninteresting I have ever spent in a cinema(Why was there no explanation of where this special technology came from ), and once the film finally got going(the main dream sequences) I still found it a struggle to stay interested(even dozed off at one point ).

I liked certain individual performances, I felt Joseph Gordon Levitt's character was alot better than that of Di Caprio.

Two Di Caprio films in a row now have left me wondering what the hell ive just watched, Shutter Island was just terrible and I have a feeling that good press has made Inception the current hyped up success it appears to be.

So although I will probably be slated I couldn't give the movie any more than a 5 and thats only for the rather impressive effects.

[Libertine]

Thought Inception was pretty good but nothing more.

And I can't really even say why I thought it was good.

I think this is the issue. Just cant really explain your thoughts after watching it .

Definate case of good actress wrong genre.

I did however neglect to mention my love for miss coutillard

Indeed, but I found her rather annoying in this. I guess that was the idea, but not that enjoyable to watch. On a character basis.

[Tommy G]

Thought Inception was really good.

Would have been better if I wasn't 5 rows from the front!!!

[syston_fox]

Dunno about anyone else but I thought the 3D in toy story 3 was pointless. Hardly even noticed it was 3D for most of the film.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Don't understand the people slating Inception. I thought it was the best film I've seen in a long time.

The thing I liked the most is that it all tied in. There were no lose ends left dangling and there were no paradoxs, which would have been so easy for this kind of film to do (and that's so annoying too!)

I also liked the fact that you're left to decide for yourself just exactly what has happened at the end of the film.

I might be being a bit picky but

When the loss of gravity on the van level affected the gravity in the hotel level why would this not carry to subsequent levels i.e. the snow/vault place?

I also couldn't see why everyone shared the same 'limbo' state that DiCaprio's character had been stuck in previously?

Why would the spinning top carry on perpetually? Surely he could 'dream' that it would fall over

Complaints aside, I liked it
