delboy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 There Will Be Blood is fucking awesome. I will not hear a bad word said against it.i thought it was one of the dullest films i have ever watched. of course if ray winstone had been in it, it would have been awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 to be fair i watched the first 3/4 hours without the aid of FM! but i just couldnt get into it and only tarentino or scorsese should ever be allowed to make two and a half hour films!!!!

Alan Cynic Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I thought it went pretty quickly.....dunno if I'd rush out & watch it again though.Going to watch 'Grizzly Man' tonight....will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Going to watch 'Grizzly Man' tonight....will report back.That's one of my favourite films ever. Werner Herzog is a mad genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've only seen 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' and 'Fitzcarraldo' by him, but liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 This one's a total departure i.e. a documentary. But, it has the same intensity. I think it was this that made me start liking Herzog ... YouTube - Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe 1/2Also, It's amazing to think that they actually heaved that boat over the hill in Fitzcaraldo.

ca_gere Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Pineapple Express.Bag 'o shite.Agreed, it's utter pish. I didn't laugh once and I quite like stoner films normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Agreed, it's utter pish. I didn't laugh once and I quite like stoner films normally.This is what happens when somebody has a couple of hits and the film studios allow them to make their self-indulgent "dream projects".

Alan Cynic Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Jus watched Herzog eating his shoe (both bits...good fun, and good attitude!),.....cheers ca_gere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 This is what happens when somebody has a couple of hits and the film studios allow them to make their self-indulgent "dream projects".It seems like it was a case of the studio just trusting Apatow that it would turn out funny and noone telling him to wise up and actually write proper jokes. And, it has totally put me off Seth Rogen. It's that annoying stoner laugh he's got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Watched Nightbreed last night and i must say that it has stood the test of time very well. I enjoyed it 14 years ago when i saw it first and it was just as enjoyable on a second viewing 14 years later.The special effects were good enough to not look too outdated and ridiculous as well.Now, if only 20th Century Fox would allow Clive Barker to find the missing footage and do a directors cut we may just see it get a DVD/Blu Ray release over here at last!

Lemonade Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I had a go at "Southland Tales" last night. Hmmm..... I liked the premise of it and it had some good ideas, but it just seemed to be like a whole bunch of random scenes and characters with no connection. It had no direction, a really confusing plot, amd the filmmakers didn't really seem to care about the fact that it was ridiculously complex and didn't try to explain any of it. It just left me puzzled. Though I did switch it off before the end so it might all come together, but by the point I switched it off at (about 20 minutes from the end) I'd stopped paying attention anyway. I think they were aiming for highbrow but it was just pretentious. I wouldn't waste your time.VERDICT - Thumbs Down. Ah well. The soundtrack is good. Radiohead, Muse, Pixies etc....

Le Stu Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I just watched The Descent which was awful. There's a US movie, that's similar, called The Cave which is also a bad movie, but in a good way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The Last Samurai.It's actually a beast. Except for Billy Connolly's "Irish" accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army last night, it was OK, visually stunning but a bit thin on plot. Doesn't really bear that much resemblance to the comic anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I watched Spellbound last night which was oddly compelling. It was a documentary about the US National Spelling Bee. I've never gotten so excited over spelling before, it was literally edge of the seat stuff! VERDICT - THUMPS UPI also purchased last night (but have yet to watch)No Country For Old MenWaitressHappy Go LuckyDiary Of The DeadHeathersOnce.

DJ Jo-D Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 No Country For Old Men really annoyed me! getting into it then boom WTF just happened to that story line I was just watching?Diary Of The Dead aceHeathers haven't seen for years but remember it being good at the timeWatched recentlyThe Colour Purple - right wee weepy! haven't seen in about 15yrs, hasn't aged for a 80's movie unlike Big Trouble... etc and such a good flick, hav eto say tears were indeed welling!!CJ7- Japanese I think kids movie dubbed with english bout an alien toy/animal thingy - for a kids movie there is some brutualness about it, nothing spectacular like but watched it anyhooJames Bond - oooooh errrr Daniel has to be my no2 Bond (Connery no1 of course). jam packed with action and sexiness these last two have definitley rekindled my bond appeal Mamma Mia - Had to watch it to see what like, am I being blonde when I say the way they have slotted in the music with the film is really cleverly done....or am I missing something? fun light hearted girly movie, passed with the exception that i was ill and needed some cheering up!
