Superstar Tradesman Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If you're into Norwegian films(!?) then check out 'Død Snø' which is worth a giggle if you like your zombie flicks and 'Max Manus' if WW2 is your thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I watched The Devil's Advocate last night with my daughter. It was a waste of my time but it's fun to waste time as long as it's very occasionally. Pacino is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I just don't like a blind hatred of anything that is populist. Who said anything about hatred be it blind or 20:20? Are you implying that my (or anyone who has a similar opinions) dislike of, for example the smurfs film is based purely on the fact it is allegedly popular? Seems a tad 'we'll looks like we got ourselves a reader'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that if someone dares to like a film that is popular then someone else must be telling them so rather than there opinion be that way.

If thats snobbery to you then you fill your boots son, don't make no odds to me. I feel exactly toward this as i do about religion, you have the right to choose but once chosen i have no obligation to respect your choice. If you want to like mass marketed and overproduced music and film then i will shake my head disdainfully and treat your choice accordingly. The fact of the matter is that a lot of modern social media is like the emperors new clothes and masses buy into it so as not to rock the boat.

glasgow sheep Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas last night on BBC2. Never seen ti before (or read the book) but thought it was very good and a heart wrenching conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlg1903 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Watched that too, not bad at all but a wee bit predictable. A few years ago a girl pal of mine was reading that, i asked her if it was any good and she replied pretty depressing. As i trusted her opinion i decided that she should just tell me what happened.

"Aye, go on then, what do you wanna watch?" "Marley and Me! The dog dies in the end!" Errrr.....ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It is very good (well I thought so) Refreshing that films like this are still being made but tragic that they dont get shown in all of the major cinemas I think there is way too much shite getting made at the moment. Of the trailers ive seen to date the only one i fancy is 'Troll hunter' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLEo7H9tqSM Good film. See it before the yanks finish the remake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to ask what 3D could do to improve (or worsen) it from its original 1994 2D state? Personally I thought disney had given up on re-releasing its animated movies back into the cinemas every few years after they made such a killing on Video, DVD, Blue ray sales from the mid 80s onwards supposed its naive of me to think they wouldnt take advantage of this latest 3D fad to tap extra cash out of the public without doing any extra work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm looking forward to seeing the Lion King too but not in 3D. I'll be watching it in 2D. I've seen very few films (actually I can't think of any) that were improved by 3D. 3D is shite for films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
