Can't remember if there was a specific film thread so here goes.

 

Anyone been/going to the cinema to see anything in particular?

 

I've been to see Inception and Toy Story 3 recently. Both were fantastic. Saw Toy Story in 3D but I'm not overly sure that it was necessary, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it was a great film. Fitting way to end the trilogy

Got round to watching Scott Pilgrim vs the World the other night.  Fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

I did start watching Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and I think I quite enjoyed it. I think it might've been the russian subtitles, or the fact all the seats in the lounge were taken and I had to sit/lie on the floor, but I fell asleep about half way through. I've never really grabbed the opportunity to watch it the rest of the way thru

I finally got round to going to see Black Swan today - very good but quite disturbing - Natalie Portman must be a shoe-in for Best Actress

 

So made me want to go see Swan Lake again 

Think she won last night did she not? Quite a successful night for British film talent. Didn't realise the producer of the Kings speech started on Byker Grove.

Ant & Dec produced the King's Speech?

Saw the Animal Kingdom last night. Great film and quite engrossing to the point where you really felt emotionally involved in the plot. Recommend it! 

Finally got round to watching Shutter Island last night anyone who's seen it got an opinion on the ending?

 

**Spoliers**

As far as I can see there are three possible sceanrios...

Scenario 1) Teddy/Laeddis does genuinely have a relapse

Scenario 2) He is Laeddis rather than Teddy and feels so much guilt he chooses to have himself lobotomised so fakes the relapse

Scenario 3 (the one I like)) He is Teddy, he was fed drugs on his arrival to the island as he was asking too many questions about Laeddis and what went on in the Island in the real world and he chooses to be lobotomised rather than live the torment of knowing he can never leave the Island. I think the last frame of the Lighthouse shows that they are conducting lobotomies and further experiments on patients brains there which was denied when explaining their "reality" to him.

 

Have to watch it again, in any case.

Watched the Kings Speach last week and have to say I really enjoyed it.

 

Watched Pulp Fiction start to finish for the first time in a couple of years, utterly utterly brilliant. I still find myself watching it hoping they change the scene when Bruce Willis kills John Travolta and that Samuel L. doesn't let Tim Roth and his bint get away.

 

As for Shutter Island I just didn't enjoy it, I got the film but found myself bored early on and didn't get into it after that.

I watched some of Scum last night. Not really sure what to make of it.

Obviously depends what bits you saw but I found Scum a good film but quite harrowing.

Anyone seen Looking For Eric?

 

Was on Film4 the other night so I recorded it.

 

Any good?

it's alright, some good lines in it. I'd say it's definitely worth a watch.

 

Went to see The Adjustment Bureau yesterday.  It was okay.

 

Disappointed at the ending, I was expecting something a bit grander.

 

All in all not too bad considering Matt Damon was the lead character.

Aye you're right there. There's a certain scene in a green house that woke my other half up and she found it quite disturbing! I thought the film had a poor ending though.

 

I saw True Grit the other day too. It's not the worst film I've seen but again the ending was bollocks.

I didn't mind the ending, it was the girl who pissed me off especially in the first half hour.

 

As for Scum, good film which puts it's message across well.

Just watched this film this afternoon. A good thriller I thought.

 

I'd tend to go with Scenario 2, just going by the choice of words as he left.

It's almost as good as Chalet Girl! 

Just saw the Lincoln Lawyer. Was really good.

Had a day off today with the missus. We went to the cinema. I wanted to see Battle Los Angeles, but when I said the trailers look like Independence Day, she immediately decided not to see it.

 

So we went to see Rango instead. Quite enjoyed it, tbh. The quality of the animation is unbelievable!

 

Saw Black Swan the other day too. Considering it's a movie about duncin, it's nae bad. I found it a bit tricky to figure out when Portman was dreaming and when she wasn't. Suppose that's what made the movie all the more intriguing.

 

Watched Unthinkable tonight.

Some straight-to-DVD thriller that I got from Love Film.  I actually thought it was pretty good albeit it a little far fetched.  It's about interrogation of a terrorist (Michael Sheen - who is brilliant in it).

Just saw Hanna tonight, a really good movie.

Watched Machete, very good and quite amusing.

Watched true grit the other day, really enjoyed it. I'm not surprised the girl in it was up for an Oscar. It was typically amusing in places too.

I went to see Thor last night and although I'm no sci-fi fan I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best film I've seen since The Hangover.
