Surfer_Rosa Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 ... Speaking of... anyone seen the new film bout Biggie Smalls? dunno if its out yet and Ive got google-fatigue. I kinda want to see it.I'm pretty sure it's not out here quite yet. Apparently in a lot of the screenings in America there have been shootings and the like. Can't really see that happening at the Vue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Watched Cass last night - not bad.Usual Rent-a-Mockney cast, though thankfully the aptly named Danny Dyer was absent.Cameos by Frank Bruno and Frank McAvennie (in character, watching a strip show!)Nothing new or particularly special, very TV movie feel to it. Decent time-filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Best screen death scene I've ever seen was the opening of "Ghost Ship". 100 people in formal-wear simultaneously being chopped in half at the waist by razor wire. Just astonishingly good. It's just a pity the rest of the film was boring and predictable or it could have been a splatter-fest classic.Yeah I love that scene too.Especially when you see one guy trying to pull his intenstines back into his body.Oh and the guy whos eyes are darting all over the place as he realises his heads been cut in half horizontally.

fugitive Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I watched a film called Religulous last night.Bill Maher discussed religion with a host of different religious leaders and followers.I thought it was just going to be him taking the piss out of all these folk but he talks to them from a very informed stand-point and is able to hold his own with them all - in fact in many cases his religious knowledge is better than some of TV evangelist type idiots.It is, however, very funny at points and I laughed out loud several times as he pointed out the idiocy of some 'religious' beliefs.Recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I watched the Butterfly Effect on telly last night, I forgot how fucking good it is. Excellent film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I saw Frost/Nixon a couple of days ago. I thought it was pretty good. I felt kind of sorry for Nixon in the end, but I'm a great big pansy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Watched 'Funny Games (US)' on Film 4 last night.........then got up to check the door was locked!!! Not opening it to anyone in white gloves, not even Mickey Mouse (actually...especially Mickey Mouse!).Forgive the lateness of flagging this up, but is this film any good? I'm not sure what to make of the premise, or what it aims to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just watched The Notebook. Wonderful story, but so sad. I thought Atonement was bad for the tears, but that just takes the biscuit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Atonement was bad for the tears, but that just takes the biscuit!This film seems to be majorly popular with girls. I hadn't heard of it til we got it in cheap at work and it's sold non-stop since. Still not seen it though, i may cheekily ask the next good looking lass who buys it if she'll let me watch it with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper love story. I'm sure many males would enjoy it just as much as females. In saying that, I'm glad I wasn't watching it with anyone... I got far too emotional!!

I've been meaning to see it for ages and finally got a 3.99 bargain from hmv.com. Woo. Also got Nil By Mouth and Requiem for a Dream... So that might be tomorrow night's watching. Maybe only one of them though - both are a bit heavy going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Forgive the lateness of flagging this up, but is this film any good? I'm not sure what to make of the premise, or what it aims to achieve.I enjoyed it, although there are one or two bits (one is particularly love/hate) that deliberately play with the audience. I can understand why it didn't go down well with US audiences, but that gains it extra kudos from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I watched The Last Kiss the other night. I like the soundtrack, but I only really bought it because I like Zach Braff, which reminds me, I still need to see Garden State. Any good?

Any good?I've got both on DVD and would rate Garden State as slightly better. Great soundtrack as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good?the original italian version of the last kiss is brilliant. called 'l'ultimo bacci'. Would recommend it highly. if it wasnt for nathalie portman being stunning, garden state would be mince. Really overdone all round: acting, visuals, script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might let them shave a wee bit more up the price then snap it up pre-closing. The reviews I read seemed to be staggeringly polarised, so I was just curious to know what you thought.

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Seven Pounds is a tearjerker. I was crying at that. Crying hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Amidst all my Funny Games-based questions, I think I actually forgot to mention that I saw Slumdog Millionaire last week, and thought it was pretty tidy.A few of my mates have seen Seven Pounds. I'm hearing pretty mixed reactions to it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really a possibility? ?(The whole theatre was crying. You could hear them sniffling. My easterhouse born and bred Dad was sitting next to me and also sobbing. Not crying, sobbing.I haven't ever met you, but I'd wager it's a very distinct possibility for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just watched Choke.It wasn't too bad. Wasn't as good as the book, obviously, I felt they could've had more of the funny bits of the book stuck in if they'd tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
