I went to see Prisoners. It was ok. Would have been better but I bit my lip in the cinema which darkened the experience.

I'm going to see Filth next week and Blue Jasmine today

 

Ooh and Sunshine on Leith too the following week

 

You gotta love going to the cinema  :thumbsup:

 

Not happy that Filth is not coming to the USA.

Saw Filth last night, it was good, enjoyable and there's a good bit in it for all Dandies.

 

One of my neighbours is in it, as Chrissie... bit of a shock when I first saw her on screen...

Certainly is. Kate Dickie is her name.

Captain Phillips is really good.  I'm not sure who gave the best performance - Hanks or the main Somali pirate, both were excellent.

One of my most favourite films this year was A Hijacking which is a Danish film about a cargo ship taken over by Somali pirates and the ensuing negotiations. It was pretty tense!!

Agreed, really enjoyed it, although I believe a fair degree of "poetic licence" was used and several crew members have stated that Philips wasn't the necessarily the hero he was portrayed as in the film.

Same as the reports I've had too mate.

Went to see Thor 2

 

Havent seen the first one but found it reeeeeally slow.

 

Also it seems Hollywood has given up being subtle when it comes to setting up sequels.

Heard it is funny from 1 person and someone else said they almost walked out it was so bad. Said they had seen all the funny parts in the previews.

Just watched Pacific Rim. Thought it was great. The special effects were top notch. Not the kind of movie I normally like...

Saw Hunger Games last night, Jennifer Lawrence is hot.

 

She's great but I wasn't too impressed with the film, seemed a bit too similar to the first one and the ending was a bit quick!

Watched a couple no-brainers last night.

 

Haywire (Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, Channing Tatum) was a decent assassin/espionage movie.  Last 10 minutes were slightly disappointing though, seemed like they ran out of time or money when it came to wrapping it up.  Worth watching alone for the female lead's bangers.

 

Olympus Has Fallen (Morgan Freeman playing president would you believe, Gerard Butler playing Bruce Willis/John McClane).  Actually quite enjoyed it, refreshing change from Muslim's being the bad guys.  Highlights being Butler stabbing just about everyone in the head with something sharp, even when they were already dead.

I thought the film was ok but the third book is terrible and they are apparently making it into 2 films!!

 

I saw Philomena this week - Steve Coogan & Judi Dench were both excellent and a really poignant story

 

Gone with the Wind for me next week - have somehow managed never to see it
