Let's have a films thread.

Not sure whether to look forward to a new Godzilla movie:

Personally, I've had it with (bad or unnecessary) CGI. Maybe this one's different.

Is that not just the unused footage from Cloverfield?

Nah, it's what "Lost" could've looked like if the creators had taken their approach a bit more serious.

Bit of fun. Helen Mirren playing her age well.

 

much better than that welsh bint in it.

[Tielemans63]

Watched Black Pond last night. Weird but good. But definitely weird.

Salt - good action film with a few twists

[Guest seanfox778]

The Devil's Rejects.

Messed up but good, I think it's better then it's predecessor. 7/10

Probably going to be lambasted for my comments now, but after all the hype and bigging up of 12 Years A Slave I finally got around to watching it on Sunday night. Due to the hype I was expecting this incredible piece of cinematic genius, but like so many over hyped films was left underwhelmed. Thought it was fine but nothing like what has been said about it. However, I thought Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender were superb. Some very moving scenes and some very hard scenes to watch.

WAtched snitch, it was ok

[Leicfox]

A mockumentary chronicling the rise and fall of a not particularly talented--or particularly bright but always controversial--1990s hip-hop group, NWH (Niggaz with Hats).

 

 

Stupid but funny, the rap version of Spinal Tap. I enjoyed it but it's not as good as the latter.  

[Rincewind]

I don't think it would be for me not being a fan of rap.

 

Looked at the films available on Virgin films. Captain Phillips and Gravity are on but they cost around £4 or £5 to rent. Man of Steel is also there. The first two I really want to see. Cheaper than the cinema though but will they be on TV in a years  time?

Still need to see those! 

[Beliall]

Might get one or two on this Christmas. Most will be on sky.

[Rincewind]

Don't have Sky. Got Virgin M+. Pay enough for that. Can't afford much more. I see BBC are ditching BBC3. Some of their better programmes on there.

Homefront

I did and it was poor.

Saw Gravity at the weekend. Definitely some of the cheesiest dialogue I've heard in a while. I burst out laughing at then end. I just spent 90 minutes not caring about anyone in the film. Looked good though. I'm surprised it was so positive across the board.

I felt the same, pretty much. She was so whiney, I half wished the outcome was different.

 

And the barking? WTF?

See the short film Aningaaq, then the scene where someone is talking Danish at her and the barking will make sense. 

 

From a purely scientific point of view Gravity was better than most Hollywood efforts, and I think Bullock and Clooney actually did a pretty good job of portraying how a rookie and experienced astronaut would behave in such a situation. I agree the angst was overplayed somewhat, but overall I was really impressed with the film.

[Daggers]

I liked Gravity.

I see. That might explain it.

 

Don't get me wrong, I though it was a good film and enjoyed it. I was just a bit baffled by some of the scenes.

[Rincewind]

It's on Virgin films but costs around a fiver. If I have time I might watch it. Captain phillips is available too.
