Let's have a films thread.

[General Smuts]

Watched The Hurt Locker again today. Truly deserved its Oscars.

Mission Impossible followed by Sherlock Holmes was a top notch afternoon. Both very watchable.

Got Jennifers Body, The Inbetweeners, The Hangover 2 amongst others for chrimbo. Still got Blue Valentine, Igby Goes Down and a load of others to watch too.

Underworld about to start on Channel 4

[21st Century Fox]

A quick tip for anyone who cares, LOVEFiLM sell off their ex-rentals on Amazon. I've bought a few foreign titles I've been meaning to get hold of for less than £1.50 each.

Not bad. Good Directing but gratuitous gore in the violence put me off a bit.

Bit late to the party on this one, but watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night... thought is was excellent.

Really wasn't expecting much but it was one of the best films I have seen in a long time.

Based on true events,quite horrific

[General Smuts]

Watched The Beaver last night.

Not the fun puppet based romp I was expecting but Mel Gibson commits like a motherfcker. Quality flick.

Hero. The prices on the porn aren't great though. Anal Virgins 2 for £9.00. Rip off.

I'm still baffled by the endless love that films given, I thought it was terrible.

Anyway speaking of terrible I'm pretty sure I watched the worst movie ever made, it is called 'Rubber' and its about a killer tyre (I kid you not), not sure how it made it onto my lovefilm rental list but it did.

The 2nd film was A new daughter - this was mildly entertaining.

A land baron tries to re-connect with his two daughters after his wife suffers a boating accident.

Really good movie. Best role from Clooney in a long time.

[21st Century Fox]

Wow. Really good antidote to Hollywood romance.

*Disclaimer - Do not watch if feeling slightly depressed already.

[Webbo]

War Horse, it's okay. 6/10

[StanSP]

The Blind Side.

Great film. Had no idea it was based on a true story. Quite moving/emotional in parts. Loved it though.

8.5/10

But it had monkeys in it... fighting monkeys, what's not to like?

Anyone who doesn't appreciate monkey movies doesn't appreciate cinema.

+ Andy Serkis deserves an Oscar.

Watch Plan 9 from Outer Space followed by Ed Wood. Good fun.

[Leicfox]

Watching this tonight.

Just watched Brad Pitt play Robert Redford in Moneyball. Bar one scene where they get the 20th win do not believe the hype.

Predictably fantastically acted. Not quite as heavy on the action as the trailers make out but a fantastic film and not too talky. Sat behind four especially retarded lads who were obviously not aware it was going to be in Shakespearean English, however.

That's a modern take on a Shakespeare then? Which one? They often work well (let's face it, the basic premises of modern stories are pretty much covered by the diversity of Shakespeare's work).

Can't beat Forbidden Planet though!
