Let's have a films thread.

[21st Century Fox]

I caught a bit of it and was thinking 'I hope somebody remakes this'!

I think it's a good story and could be a decent modern film. The 1976 version is a bit dated though.

Last I heard Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) was going to remake it. It's been knocking around for years though, Bryan Singer was going to remake it about a decade ago.

Very good for 1st hour,let down by a poor ending

What didnt you like about the ending? I thought the main thing that let it down was the acting.

It sort of was remade in 'The Island'. Though a Logan's Run remake has been on the cards for some years. A direct remake would only be as awful as I Am Legend/ Omega Man

As soon as they reached the town the plot and the acting became bad.

In Time is also very similar to Logans Run

I'd disagree. Those characters in 'In Time' are well aware of their predicament. Whilst those within 'The Island/Logan's Run' uncover an untruth and are trapped within a world of based upon this lie, from which they escape and seek to be free.

OK movie buffs of FT

Should I watch Iron Sky, Safe House or Project X?

[Trav Le Bleu]

Just watched a trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman which has Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the evil queen and the problem with this film (other than Kristen Stewart can't act) is I look at the two of them and I think, "mmmm, Charlize please!"

[Leicfox]

Uncomfortable performances and a stretched out plot.

It does have some good moments though but imo it falls short of what it could of been.

My daughter watched Project X last night and loved it, so I'm giving that a try tonight.

Anyone seen Prometheus yet?

Planning on seeing it in the week.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Quality!

[Rincewind]

The last part of Lord Of the Rings has just been on and now Alien is about to start. (Channel 4)

[Ozwin]

Prometheus is a whole heap of awesome.

You will not see better special effects in a move this year. Awe inspiring stuff sometimes.

[Danny the Fox 95]

Just watched Ferris Bueller's day off. Great film to be fair!

Thanks.

Will defo see it this week now.

[sphericalfox]

I've just come back from watching Prometheus and like the last two season of LCFC, it was pretty in parts, but I left disappointed after such a fine build-up (marketing). I won't spoil it for anyone, but jeebus Ridley really?

[Leicfox]

Nice enough family film if not great and I'm not ashamed to say I quite enjoyed it.

[JimmyB]

Prometheus, visually, was absolutely awesome and was pretty gripping from start to finish,

but, for some reason I left slightly disappointed.

Solid 7/10, though.

[JimmyB]

Right, this is an absolutely brilliant film.

I will pay several English pounds to any person who can watch this film, from start to finish without crying actual tears.*I really won't*

The downside, however, is that you will be labelled a heartless bastard, and rightfully so.

Tissues at the ready (not like that).

Enjoy.

Nicolas Cage was Nicolas Cage, only more shit.

The bikes barely featured.

The plot was thinner than an anorexic's forearm.

Ghostrider II was everything I thought it would be.

Christ I forgot that movie was made. I like the directors and secretly love both Cranks, but Cage's acting chices and Hollywood's propensity to think he's a box office pull is a mystery we probably will never uncover.

[One Arm Babba]

Prometheus was garbage 4/10

Disagree with me if you dare and all I'll say repeatedly is "they start a spaceship with a ****ing flute!"

[Phube]

Actual, useful things you've learnt from films:

1) Amélie: The 'oysters' on a whole roast chicken, as the chap says, by far the best part... Mmmmmm....

It was an oboe, which makes it fookin worse!

Maybe a piccolo.
