DJ Jo-D Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 watched the unborn .... utter flange , turned it off after an hour and retorted back to another watch of the greatest movie ever.............bad taste.Bad Taste = excellent!!Watched the following at the weekend...Body of LiesVery intriguing movie, with great performances all round - especially from Mark Strong. Good action sequences. The James Bond climax was a bit of a cop out IMHO.QuarantineDecent shocker, boosted by the presence of Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter. Seems to be an amalgam of Blair Witch, Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. 10 years too late though.Gone Baby GoneExcellent fillum, with top notch performances all round. Twist ending at odds with realistic, gritty nature of movie.I've got all these, but never got round to watching, so cheers you've inspired me to do it!Also have the orphanage coming from lovefilms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Gone Baby Gone is an excellent film. Go home and watchi it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Surprisingly enough, this is one of my favourite films. There's lots of hidden messages in the film. Did you notice that the prisoners are all named after prisons?I really liked that film too. 'specially the diced and cubed man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I dont understand why people watch half a film and then turn it off 'cuz its shit' , how do you know if a films shit if you havent seen the ending?Because some films are clearly shit and not worth the effort - "Cabin Fever" springs to mind. I started watching it and thought to myself "there are soooo many far better things to do that watch this garbage, so why am I wasting my precious time with it".Granted, a film may be a slow starter and appear dull (or over complex), but if you stick with it, you reap the rewards.But films like Cabin Fever - to me at least - are only going to get worse as the movie progresses, so why bother?

SeaOfEnergy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 true for cabin fever, but for all the cabin fevers there are are films that take their time to get to the good stuff/point. I personally prefer to watch from start to finish, then if i did think it was shit i can present that opinion in the knowledge i saw the WHOLE film. But yeah i spose it depends on how precious you feel your time is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I liked Cabin Fever. The guy from Boy Meets World caving someone's head in with a shovel? What's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy from Boy Meets World caving someone's head in with a shovel? What's not to like?I quite liked cabin fever too ha ha but then I like a lot of shit movies I'll watch gone baby gone tonight, if I can tear myself away from my TV series,taking over me life!!

Swingin' Ryan Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 The Damned United which I thought was pretty good. Michael Sheen was top notch in it.Saw this last week and thought it was brilliant, Michael Sheen was great. The whole look of the film was beautiful as well.Also saw Wendy and Lucy the other week which was excellent as well. I don't think I've ever been so enthralled by a film where so little happens.

*Amy* Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Got myself a LoveFilm account (as an ace birthday present) so kicked off with:Knocked Up: Didn't think it was that great in the cinema but something told me to give it another shot. Some right good comedy moments but dragged in places and is pretty predictable. 5.5/10The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Brilliant. Was expecting it to be pretty depressing but it was quite the opposite. Really heartwarming with a few quirky moments from the man himself. Really like how it was filmed from Jean-Do's point of view for the most part. Managed not to cry despite being told I definitely would... 8/10Gran Torino: Saw a trailor for this a while ago and completely forgot about it but I was passing The Belmont cinema and saw it was starting soon so just went for it, and I'm glad I did! Not the best acting in the world and there wasn't too much of a storyline but I totally got sucked in and fairly enjoyed it. Cried at the end though. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Went to see the Boat That Rocked yesterday, mainly because of the fantastic cast. Really enjoyed it. Bill Nighy's a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithaca Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I've been thinking about joining LoveFilm. What kind of offers do they do?Agreed about Gran Torino, really good film. We're on the 10 a month / one dvd at a time deal and can normally get through about 5 dvds a month. Because you submit a list of films you want to watch you never quite know which one you'll be getting (depends on availability) so there's an element of surprise thrown in for free! Service has so far been really good. Packages offered are in the link below...Register for DVD rentals now with LOVEFiLM - sign up for the new online DVD hire service in the UK.

Paulscoconutass Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Got a love film in my house at the moment. 3 discs at a time for 16 a month. You can return one or all three and they post the next lot back to you straight away. Hardest part is keeping a wish list long enough!Also, keep an eye on the trailers as they're mostly good ones!

Scootray Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Garden State - Better than I was expecting, enjoyed the soundtrack and quite funny in places.The Naked Gun - First time I've actually seen it as I've bought the trilogy. Gotta love slapstick comedy from Leslie Neilsen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the 2 unlimited dvd/games (altho I don't often use the games, so wondering if it's worth having) 15 a month and love it, old films are so easily accessible and series are handy tooall you have to do is post them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
