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

Saw Spotlight tonight. Very good. Makes you appreciate that the fucks who failed to act on kiddie-fiddling priests are equally culpable. Systemic abuse and based on facts, the biggest fact being that the Vatican knew and have always known.

 

Religion is for shitheads.

Went to The Revenant tonight. Regretted it.

Warned You! Interesting film but not sure it's great.

 

Saw Steve jobs the other day. I thought it was good and probably a more accurate portrayal of him as a likely penis.

Yeah you said 7/10 and I said it had to be 8+ to tempt me. But another good mate was raving about Leo and said he was bound to get the Oscar so what the hell.

 

Agree with you that the scenery was stunning and agree it was a bizarre film.

 

Don't agree with the sentiments that he'll finally get an Oscar for this. Yes he's got beautiful eyes and boy did they focus on that, every single lighting shot designed to show it but since when was acting ability about God-given?

 

Fucking terrible film. Vacuous and pointless. Nothing happened. Plotless.

Have you ever seen pirates of silicon valley manc?  It's pretty much a straight to dvd movie about the rise of Microsoft and Apple  but I really enjoyed it.

Will check it out! Cheers

No worries.  Did the film make much mention of his adoption manc?

I know nothing of Jobs and regret missing the film. All I know is that Apple make outstanding products.

 

But I read somewhere that he was the son of a Syrian migrant. So if Trump had his way, one of Ametica's biggest companies may not have been.

Over the weekend I saw Spotlight, The Big Short and Deadpool (again).

 

All good films. The first 2 are utterly depressing but really good films. I think The Big Short is somehow more depressing than Spotlight!

Here's my movies of 2016 league table so far:

 

1. The Hateful Eight

2. The 5th Wave

3. The Big Short

4. Daddy's Home

5. The Reventant

6. Spotlight

7. Deadpool

8. Room

9. In The Heart of The Sea

No worries.  Did the film make much mention of his adoption manc?

 

Not at all actually! Not that I remember at least.

 

I still really want to see Spotlight, Hateful Eight, The big short and Deadpool.

 

Saw Trumbo last night, a very, very good film which seems to have gone under the radar! Even better that it is actually a true story. About a guy who was a very popular screenwriter in the 40/50s who was a member of the American communist party. Excellent cast too.

 

Oh I saw Trumbo last week - excellent story

 

I'm going to The Big Short this week

 

Think I'm gonna pass on The Revenant now

This was very good

 

I dunno what my next film will be now - there's one about Icelandic sheep that sounds quite promising 

 

 

I went to see Triple 9. Didn't like it at all. In fact it goes bottom of my list!

I finally got around to seeing Deadpool last night.  Worth the hype, its beautiful satire on so many levels.  I also couldn't help but note how many superhero movie trailers there were pre film.  It had to be about 3/4 of them at least, and the the words over saturated came to mind by the end of them.  Interestingly Deadpool is set to take more money than the last, and highest grossing, x men movie.

Totally agree, it was worth the hype even though I'm not much of a comic book fan at all, thought it was hilarious.

 

Fingers crossed the planned sequel proves to be just as good.

I knew nothing about deapool before I went to see it which added to the experience..... I've been thinking about it a lot the past few days and it's really hard to think of any real flaw to the film.  It's defo going to be remembered as a classic in future years.

In the last couple of days watched two animated films from entirely different eras.

 

The Jungle Book (1967) Walt Disney's last film he oversaw, loved this as a lad and still have the misty-eyed fondness

 

Big Hero 6 (2015) What a difference in animation, but still tells a story, loved it.

Watched Lone Survivor the other day.  Not a bad action film. All based upon a true story about US marines in Afghanistan. If you want a film you don't really have to think about and like some shooting, this is it.

Watched a few movies whilst on holiday:

 

Last Shift

The Conjuring 2

Come Back to Me

Money Monsters

 

All enjoyable movies although I rarely watch horror films. I've been brave. 

Went to see  Now You See Me 2. was rather enjoyable.

The Secret Life of Pets. Liked the beginning and the end but the middle kind of sagged. Nae bad at all though.

Watched Eddie the Eagle the other week, really enjoyed it!
