What films are you watching?

[jeff leopard]

Superbad – Enjoyable, if not hilariously funny, end-of high school comedy which works for a number of reasons, all the adventures the characters get caught up in are believable, it has something to say about American society in general, and it has a lot to say about male friendships, specifically what happens when they stray into the grey area between straight friendship and gay relationship. It’s all too rare that films like this come with emotional depth and characters you actually care about. Supergood. 8/10

 

Avatar –Who can honestly say they didn’t spend the early 70s getting high and staring at Yes album covers, wishing that they could live in a world of floating rocks, psychedelic plants, dragons and big blue cat things. Well James Cameron clearly did and Avatar is the garish and over-long result. It feels like an Aliens sequal (there are very similar looking weapons, loader things, marines and spaceships) but this time, the human are the aliens that must be defeated (see what he did there), add to this a big dollop of the Matrix and the plot of New World/ Pocahontas. It’s as bloated as a gas planet, which instead of gas comprises of preposterous arse, but its watchable and quite enjoyable. 6/10

 

If you want to catch a glimpse in how badly wrong Avatar could have been,

. It’s really long, but one of the funniest things you can hope to see, and a truly terrifying lesson on what happens when successful directors surround themselves with yes men (as opposed to Yes men)

I'll check it out, what with you being my role model n'all.

Watched 'Kick Ass' a few days ago, here in sunny Thailand. Luckily in English, unlike whne I watched Harry Potter out here...!

 

Good film. Funny, and a little bit clever. My only issue is trying to understand how it was meant to be received: some LOL moments, some lighthearted stuff, some comic-book capers. Nicholas Cage does a fantastic ****-take accent. But some overly strong violence too.....who wants to see a grown man smash an 11 yr old girl in the face; repeatedly? Yes, he's a bad guy, but come on......

 

Funny, silly, enjoyable nonsense, with the odd uncomfortable moment. 8/10.

 

I watched this a couples days ago. Have to agree with everything you say here. I got the impression that they used the "overly strong violence" as a message that you shouldn't emulate a superhero. In fact, I think this is what let the film down a little. Ok, put the message across, but it seemed like whenever you thought the main guy was jus getting started something happened to him to bring him back down to earth. All in all it was a lot more serious than i expected.

[mikey_boosh]

Watched Hot Tub Time Machine on the weekend. Thought it was going to be utter rubbish as the trailors looked poor, but got dragged along by friends to go see it. Pleasantly suprised as it was funny throughout. Read a review somewhere that said it was the 'Superbad' of 2010. I wouldn't go as far to say that, but definitely worth a watch.

[jeff leopard]

Shutter Island

 

From its very first moments it’s clear that all is not what it seems, it has a detached and surreal air that reminded me of Memento, eXistenZ, Mulholland Drive and Eternal Sunshine. The first 90 mins are completely gripping in a fairly trashy way, but then it gets bogged down in over-wrought melodrama. By the time we have the big reveal at the end, quite a lot of me was past caring. Leonardo gives another good performance, but those baby-faced looks that made him a heart-throb are getting in the way of him being convincing as middle-aged and experienced Noir characters. Still, it’s infinitely better than the Departed and well worth watching if you’re a Scorsese fan.

 

7.5/10

 

Iron Man 2

 

Not as quirky or funny as the first one, but judging by the trailers for Robin Hood, Prince of Persia and The A Team, it looks like Iron Man 2 is the best of the summer’s blockbusters. The action scenes are much bigger and there are some great special effects, but the film feels too full of plot. It was the moments in between the action that made Iron Man 1 such as unexpected pleasure, but here there are so many villains and sub-plots that we don’t get to have much fun with Tony Stark. Robert Downey Jr is brilliant as the hero, and there are also some good performances from Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell, and Scarlett Johansson is still outrageously fit. Enjoyable but forgettable.

 

6.5/10

The Human Centipede.....

 

Gross and pretty sick in parts.

However,quite original.

 

If you like a horror movie,enjoy.

Just don't watch on a full stomach......

Watched The French Connection again the other night - this time in blu-ray. A great film - excellent performance from Gene Hackman (as usual). Fantastic chase scene through Brooklyn.

[jeff leopard]

Green Zone

Set after Generation Kill and before The Hurt Locker, Green Zone is quite a radical war film but its also one that's hard to actually enjoy. Matt Damon runs around occupied baghdad looking confused, always several steps behind the action, searching for those pesky WMDs, only to discover that America are the bad guys. To its credit, the film doesn't feel the need to add loads of action to keep people watching, but not a lot actually happens. Its worth watching though, especially for the great shots of Baghdad having the heck bombed out of it immediately prior to the invasion.

7.5/10

[saintkiptanui]

Watched Hurt locker last night, it was dull.

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

I had the great pleasure of re-watching this smashing old movie the other night and I must say this vintage war film is still well worth your time . Obviously produced during the war (and with the full co-operation of the Ministry of Information) you might expect this to be a cheaply made and relatively crude propaganda exercise , but it rises above those expectations triumphantly and the finished movie has much to say about how the British like to see themselves and their navy . While it remains my opinion that 'The Cruel Sea' is the best British war film ever made this is perhaps the finest film actually produced during the war .

 

The film is the story of a fictional WWII destroyer 'HMS Torrin' , but those in the know will have little difficulty in recognizing the real life exploits of HMS Kelly and its commander Lord Louis Mountbatten . Noel Coward as well as playing the lead role also takes the main credits as producer/director/writer but NC (being a creature of the stage) had no experience at all of film making so he enlisted a young editor called David Lean to assist - an inspired choice as it turned out for Lean would go on to be ranked as one of the finest film makers in the history of Cinema . You can clearly see the expert hand of David Lean at work here , in many ways it's almost as much his film as it is Coward's .

 

Watching this now what strikes you most is an almost comical obsession with the all prevailing class system that was so very evident in British society at the time . The officers led by Capt' Kinross (Noel Coward) are all frightfully posh upper class types , while the lower decks are in turn populated exclusively by familiar working class 'jack tar' stereotypes . The whole crew (and their nicely portrayed extended family's) can be seen as representing a microcosm of the nation - the leaders and the led uniting in a common cause . This image of a long gone Britain is in my view the film's greatest strength to a modern audience .

 

A great film deserves a great cast and IWWS boasts one of the best . What British war film can be complete without John Mills and/or Alex Guinness for instance , and Celia Johnson's performance as the Captains suitably classy wife is a little gem of 40's cinema . But if I had to choose just one name to single out it would be Bernard Miles playing 'Chief Petty Officer Hardy' - the scene when he receives the terrible news that his wife and mother have both been killed in a air raid is (if I may say so) a masterclass in the screen actors craft .

[LVSaint]

Robin Hood 7/10 - Whilst not a particularly gripping plot, very entertaining and gritty. Looking forward to some sequels. (Although I'd rather Crowe got to work on some new Master and Commander films first.)

 

The Hangover 7/10 - Fun and unpredictable. Whilst pretty funny, more intrigued by them finding out what happened to them the night before.

[Sheaf Saint]

Where The Wild Things Are

 

I loved this animated book when I was a kid, I was always badgering my mum to get it out from the library for me. When I heard that somebody was making a live action version of it I was intrigued though I didn't get round to watching it at the cinema.

 

Just as the book had very little story and was much more about the animations (probably the reason I loved it so much actually), the film does not really have any kind of a plot other than a young kid who feels very lonely and cut off from his family and escapes to this fantasy land where he is made into a king. The cinematography is wonderful, and the soundtrack is absolutely perfect to go with the dream-like visualizations.

 

Some of the dialogue is very odd, and you do find yourself wondering what the wild things are going on about a lot of the time. Also very strange to hear the voice of James Gandolfini as one of the wild things, but overall I found it was a perfect comforting hangover film and well recommended.

Brooklyn's Finest - Well put together film about the drug/corrupt police culture that supposedly exists in Brooklyn. Plenty of shootings to keep you interested.

[SuperMikey]

The Strangers

 

I'm not a fan of horror films, and this further reciprocates the reasons why. Awful. Cheap 'scares', way too short and no suspense whatsoever. Written straight by the book as well, completely predictable and just boring tbh. Maybe it scared some people, but it made me laugh more than it made me jump or more than it raised my heart rate.

 

2/10

[Bentley]

Grosse Point Blank - 6/10. Few laugh out moments, but pretty forgettable.

[skintsaint]

See no Evil, Hear no Evil - Felt the need for a completely silly movie after a stressful day and cant really go wrong with a Pryor/Wilder movie.

 

Plus you see a boobie so all good. 7/10

[dubai_phil]

I have to bring to your attention what has to be one of the worst comedies ever conceived, made and acted, which had us hooting with laughter the other night.

 

The Adventures of Power.

 

It is about a loser gimp from New Mexico who's "thing" is Air Drumming.

 

The entire movie is risible BUT it is written and acted deliberately that way, so lines like "Why are you speaking Chinese?" "Because I'm deaf" and "I don't need real drums I AM drums" amongst others just made us crack up.

 

The first 10 or 20 minutes were greeted with a hail of WTF's and Jeez this is garbage and then slowly the great soundtrack and cinematography and the absolutely stupid pranks and jokes and script suddenly made it through.

 

An early scene where Power is in the Middle of the Desert and a hand written flyer about an Air Drumming contest in Mexico hits him in the stomach is quality as are the "Borrow my bike, it's only 14 miles to Mexico" moments.

 

It was without doubt the best and funniest dreadful film we've seen. We've been out looking for it in Virgin Megastore so it can join our collection of really stupid thinsg you need to watch to feel better collection.

 

Find the movie and watch it after a few beers,

[norwaysaint]

Zack and Miri make a porno

This was a very unoriginal story and the main character was just a carbon copy of a million others who'd been played better. A couple of laughs, but not enough. 6/10

 

Superbad

Just really poor. All been done before by people better at it. 5/10

 

The Hurt Locker

I was disappointed. I found it pretty hard to get involved and didn't feel like it really went anywhere unexpected or interesting. 7/10

 

District 9

I thought this was a lot of fun and had some great ideas and themes. 8/10

 

Avatar

I finally got around to seeing this on DVD. It was better than I expected. The story was nothing new, but there were a few good ideas. I only got annoyed by the regular shots that were clearly just set up to look effective in 3D. Just another blockbuster really, but I expected it to be worse. 7/10

[SuperMikey]

The Good, The Bad, The Weird

 

Noticed this was showing on Sky Premiere the other day, so I recorded it and watched it today. Korean cinema is harbouring a growing reputation nowadays with some good films coming out in past years, and this one I would add to the list personally. It's got a minimal amount to do with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, I think that was just a marketing gimmick to get people's attention (hey, it got mine!). The story basically revolves around a hidden treasure, to which a bumbling bandit attains the map after a glorious shootout on a train heading through the desert. As he sets off to find the treasure, little does he know that it's also being pursued by the most feared outlaw in the entire land (with a nice little emo haircut), a bounty hunter out to stop the aforementioned outlaw, the japanese army and various other gangs of bandits.

 

Basically, it's not an intellectual film. The cinematography is great however, and there are some really good fight scenes which will make you go "Ooh". There is a real nostalgic feel to the film as well, and you can see that the director has really put a personal touch into it because he was encapsulated by westerns when he was growing up, so there are a lot of homages and little touches that some people will recognise. There is a particularly epic chase scene near the end which involves motorbikes, cars, horses, mortar shells, more horses and a lot of shooting which makes the film really!

 

All in all, quite enjoyable and a fun way to spend an hour and a half.

 

7/10

[saint_bert]

Jennifers body- was a bit meh, best bit was the "kissing" scene. Worth a rent just for that imo

[Redbul]

If you liked City of God, Elite Squad or Gomorrah then this is for you.

 

Briefly, the film consists of 2 tales that eventually intertwine; that of El Casper trying to escape the clutches of the violent gang that he belongs to and that of Sayra, a Guatemalan trying to escape with her father, uncle and brother to the USA to live with relatives.

 

To try and explain why Casper wants to leave the gang and how the two main characters meet would be to give away the plot, but this is a very violent tale of romance (unrequited and suggested), humour (dark and infrequent), bloodshed (very violent and fortunately infrequently) misguided loyalties and betrayal. There is redemption (hopefully) at the end but this is via plenty of shocks.

 

In Spanish with English subtitles

 

8/10. Gripping stuff.

[SuperMikey]

The Green Mile

 

I'm sure you've all seen it by now, but I noticed this was on Sky Anytime this morning and watched it as it's one of my favourite films. I don't make it a habit to cry at films, but that last scene with John Coffey gets me everytime!

Such a great film, one of the best imo. To anyone that's not seen it, watch it on Sky Anytime if you have it, or if not then rent it/buy it, because it's a brilliant film and the 3 hours just fly past!

[St Landrew]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

 

Tom Stoppard's play, or actually the film adaptation of the play. Two fairly insignificant characters in Hamlet, who are called, as Hamlet's old college pals, to question him as to his state of mind. This film is about their own interplay. I've always liked its quirkiness, and quirkiness is its main theme. Watching it now. If you like your Shakespearian style drama in the John Gielgud mould, then avoid.

Yes, I saw it at the cinema when it was released, excellent film but indeed a very sad ending.

[Redbul]

Absolute gem. Digging through my DVDs looking for something to watch and found this old favourite.

 

Couple of disillusioned young Scots nippers disguised as the Clown and the Wolf Man decide to hijack tourist buses in their native Scotland with nothing more than a fake gun and a 'puffer' gun filled with 'itching powder, sneezing powder and athletes foot powder'....

 

They start to get a cult status which sees American tourists flooding in to Scotland on the off-chance that they maybe hijacked.

 

Ned Beatty and Bernard Hill add the 'star' elements of this great little pic. It's gentle, laugh out loud funny in places and doesn't require any effort on the part of the viewer; just sit back and soak it up.

 

Soundtrack by Big Country fits the ambiance superbly and there's quality cinematography of the Highlands....

 

7/10....Not Oscar stuff but I could watch this again and again.

[Hamilton Saint]

Been showing my 12 year-old son some "old" (classic) films lately. Gives him a break from the typical special effects-laden, ultra action films he's familiar with.

 

Last night it was The Longest Day, an epic treatment of June 6, 1944 - the first day of the Normandy landing. It has an all-star cast (John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, Robert Ryan, Henry Fonda, etc., etc.). Most war movies of the period usually featured a pop-star actor; this epic has two of them - Paul Anka and Fabian! It's based on the book of the same name by Cornelius Ryan. It gives a full treatment of many aspects of the operation - and provides extensive detail on what the German forces were doing. Several characters in the film muse about the historical significance of the events they are going through. This film's epic and meticulous treatment creates a sense of that historical importance. The film concentrates on the key military activities, involving depictions of real military figures, using a quasi-documentary approach, but it also fictionalises the human-interest side of things by presenting stock characters. If you like war movies, this is a must. My son's verdict: interesting - especially the battle sequences.

 

Tonight we watched Alfred Hitchc_ock's North by Northwest. It's an action-thriller starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. One of the director's best films. This remastered DVD has an excellent picture. The colour is great (technicolor) and the film is shot in widescreen ("vistavison"). It looks great. North by Northwest has two famous Hitchc_ock sequences: the first is where the Cary Grant character is attacked by a bi-plane - a crop duster; the other is the climax of the film, where our heroes are struggling against the "bad guys" on the faces of the Mt. Rushmore Monument. My son's verdict: fun, but lots of talky bits and a long, icky kissing-session between our heroes on board the night train.

I wonder what he would have made of In The Heat Of The Night..? There's an awful lot of talking in it, and I'm betting it would pass some adults by. I'm watching it right now, and frankly, it's dynamite. I can't remember its reputation, from when t was released, when I was very young, but it must have been like a rocket, in the 1960's. I saw it first, right through, perhaps 35+ years ago, and although the acting technique is of the day grates slightly, it remains powerful stuff.

Edited 12 July, 2010 by St Landrew

[St Landrew]

Decided to have a really good heavyweight film to watch, as I'd been having a good natter about films/TV/etc... Couldn't decide about watching anything, and then there it was, the 1st substitute, i.e. the first one that came to hand that was appealing [other than the one I was hoping to remember].

 

Open Range - Blimey, this must be the 4th or 5th time I've seen this film, but it still blows me away, and I know what's coming. The clarity of the story; the honesty of the performances; the depths of the main characters, are explored in such a way, that occasionally one's breath is literally taken away.

 

If you've been brought up on almost comic kill-or-be-killed films, then this one won't give you a moment's pause. But if you enjoy the bits inbetween, then this film is a jewel. There's something about this film that makes it an absolute classic. In years to come, it will be revered as a yardstick to be measured by, of that I am certain. Watch it.

Watched Das Boot yesterday.

 

+1

 

One of , if not the , finest warfilms ever made , and in its unadulterated form at least a true 'David Lean' rivaling epic . Having a life long interest in the subject the authenticity shines right through almost every scene (despite some reservations from its author & real-life WWII navel war correspondent Lothar-Gunther Buckheim) and the brilliant set must surely rank among the very best constructed for any movie . Every time I watch this I constantly marvel at how the numerous long tracking shots were achieved in such a frighteningly claustrophobic and realistic set . The camera work and the production design fully deserve the Oscars they never received for some inexplicable reason . The two Oscars this film did aquire ('Best Director' & 'Best Adapted Screenplay') are fully merited .

 

The largely unknown German cast (with the exception of the superb Jurgen Prochnow) are universally excellent , and how Petersen manages to give them the genuine pallor of someone who has actually spend two months underwater in some utterly filthy overcrowded noxious tin can without proper ventilation or the benefit of sunlight is a wonder in itself . Although Wolfgang Petersen would go on to direct 'bigger' Hollywood films on the back of this , having something as monumental as Das Boot on your early CV means you inevitably fall into the same trap that so blighted Orsen Welles career after Citizen Kane - however hard you try it's just impossible to better (or even match) cinematic perfection .

 

Every submarine movie ever made tends to have smiler depth charge exploding & hull crushing deep diving scenes - but I'd suggest the climatic segment when U96 is virtually destroyed while attempting to break the formidable Gibraltar Blockade takes the genre to new heights - or should I say depths . Put simply I've never experienced a more intensely pressurized and dramatic 20 minutes in a cinema - and I include the opening to Saving Private Ryan in that .

 

A magnificent effort from all concerned - 10/10

 

 

 

PS - if I find out anybody intends to view this wonderful film in any other way than the subtitled , full-length , and above all in its original German language version then I'm sending the boys round to sort you out .

One of my favorite Hitch films and a true classic . I do hope your Grandson learns to appreciate the grounding you're giving him in the basics of cinematic history . I think that uber classy grey business suit Cary Grant wears for much of the film should get award itself - I want one .

 

PS - it's surprising how many people never really understand the meaning of the title 'North by Northwest' despite having seen the film on numerous occasions !

Inception

 

Went to see this today. Quite an interesting film with a decent core concept and makes you think a little as well. Could have been a lot more complicated but they kept it simple which makes it work.

Maybe I shouldnt have watched this straight after Inception. I knew it would be mindless stuff but it was even more so after watching Inception first. This would be good on a friday night after/with a few beers.

Good concept, nice pace but unsatisfying.

I watched Walkabout the other night. It was released in 1971 - directed by Nicolas Roeg and starring Jenny Agutter. It's set in the outback of Australia. Not much of a plot, but it's beautiful to look at, with wide vista shots of the topography and lots of images of the local flora and fauna. The film is slow-paced but gives you lots to think about.

Four Lions

 

Chris Morris apparently spent 3 years researching this film (beginning before the 7/7 bombings) and he has created an absolute gem. Hilarious from start to finish - it really does highlight the irrationality of fundamentalism, while at the same time making you almost feel sorry for the lead character that he has to put up with such incompetence from his team. The weirdest thing for me though was seeing all the familiar locations as it was all filmed in Sheffield. At one point there was a shot of the entire Don Valley area which featured the very cinema we were sitting in at the time!

The Damned United

7/10

 

Bit of fun, but it didn't really convey the impact both Leeds Utd had on football, nor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Michael Sheen does an extremely good impression and sometimes, in backlighting, actually looks remarkably like the man. Achive footage shows how different he really is though. Star Trek TNG Chief Engineer Colm Meaney captures Don Revie quite well too. There's a bit of Youtube footage about, which shows how close the actors got. The film didn't quite get it together though, and it's spattered with inaccuracies. One for older football fans only, who remember the spirit of the men of the day. BTW, that TV interview near the end isn't fiction.

 

 

I didn't always think Brian Clough was the brilliant motivational manager he was. Like another genius sportsman, Muhammed Ali, from a slightly early age, I didn't quite get the hype, though I became a believer. Genius will shine through even to the thickest doubters. Here he is, years later after taking Notts Forest on the success tour of a lifetime, with nothing to prove. This was the man England needed. Even if he had failed with England it would have been a relative success.

Any idea if Inception is worth a watch?

Any idea if Inception is worth a watch?

 

Haven't seen it myself, but people I have spoken with have said it is very good indeed. Considering the type of film I tend to go for, their recommendation will probably mean far more to you than mine. Although it does feature Leonardo Di Caprio, and much as I want to deck the bloke [way after I've left Keanu Reeves unconcious though], he always improves any film he's in. So it has good omens.
