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

Just watched Manchester by the Sea.

 

Boring as fuck. Sorry.

Turned it off after an hour.

 

What am I missing here???

 

Casey Affleck as i said before has to be the most miserable fucking actor on the planet.

 

He plays such depressing characters in very boring films.

 

Not the best of films for me.

 

 

Watched Hacksaw Ridge recently. It was a good film but i felt like i'd seen it before, up until he starts saving ab'dy in the last 40 mins or so.

It was a bit, Full Metal Jacket / Saving Ryan's Privates etc. up to that point.

 

Went to watch a dodgy copy of the latest Star Wars movie the other night.... the film was in the worst letter box format ever and was actually on my screen twice, in the top half and again in the bottom half.  Fooking nightmare.

As a non film buff may I butt in here and say that watching films you like over and over again is a pleasure.

It's the same with reading books.

 

Mrs Donsdaft doesn't understand it, she'd rather read some drivel than re-read a classic.

 

I don't get the adversion at all, after all if you hear a good piece of music you don't think " that was great but I've heard it now so I never want to hear it again."

He'll be after an oscar.  It's always boring and depressing films that nab them.

Just watched Requiem for a Dream.

 

The most powerful film I've ever seen.

 

Genius in its construction.

Agreed, not a film I've seen in probably about 13 years, very good film though.

Told the Mrs when i get home from the trip at the end of the month we're going in to see T2.

 

She's just informed me that because it's her birthday tomorrow / today she went in to see it tonight with a couple of pals. Telt her i wasn't impressed as i'd been looking forward to it. She replies "can't you just watch it on Kodi?" I despair with wimmin sometimes (a lot). 

Watched Moana this afternoon (after the glorious game), what is it with Disney and Dreamworks making the lead young characters yank, despite their parents being Polynesian (or in the case of how to train your dragon - Scottish).

 

Relaxing Sunday viewing anyway.

Got the nephew down for the fitba this w/e and he fancied seeing the 'Great wall' last night,without either of us knowing much about it

 

  Wasnt what we expected,a watchable film with some impressive scenes,but felt like we'd seen most of it before(think of a Chinese lesser version of Lord of the rings)    6.5/10

I'm finally going to see Moonlight this week

 

Yesterday I saw Twentieth Century Women which was rather quirky and pretty good

 

Also a bril wee Italian film 7 Minuti - based on a true story about female workers in a textile factory - shades of 12 Angry Men and resonates with the whole Brexit immigration debate - well worth a watch 

Saw 8'days a week and loved it but I am a huge Beatles fan. (Them being by far the greatest musicians ever by a fucking country mile....that's no an opinion that's a FACT  )

 

Really enjoyed 'Lion' mostly because it's a true story and an absolute tragedy ..won't say too much.

 

Looking forward to seeing T2 .cannae wait.

My girlfriend has bought me the book, says I have to read it before we watch the film.  Have you read it?  Like the look of the film anyway!

Mate I think the book will be brilliant.

 

The film is a little slow but its good slow not 'Manchester by the sea' sloe.

 

 

has anyone on here seen Moonlight??

 

I was so disappointed - far too slow and just could not get into it at all

Saw Skull Island. Sad in many ways but a much better film than I was expecting.

Skull island next on my list and Logan

Aye, Brokeback mountain but in da hood

Watched hacksaw ridge today along with a streetcat called bob. Two very different kinds of films (obviously). Can't recall if someone had watched hacksaw ridge already (thought they had) but brilliant film, high intensity and again based on a true story.

 

Streetcat called bob was also a true story, one which I could relate to having seen the very guy and cat it was about on the 38 bus home after work once. Nice seeing party of London I'd lived and work near.

Aye Hacksaw Ridge was a good film.

 

As was Get Out which I saw last night.

Viceroy's House was good tho I've since read that it was not quite historically accurate - Gillian Anderson was great as Mountbatton's wife.

 

I also saw Elle which was interesting.

Saw live by night last night and although it gets average reviews. I really enjoyed it..

Get Out is a good film.

 

CHIPs Law and Disorder was better than I expected. But tbh be honest when a film critic slates a film that usually just makes me think I'll enjoy it.

This week I've seen Beauty and thd Beast and finally Hidden Figures - both were very good

 

For the first time this year I actually have no idea what I'm gonna go see  next

Not a lot on the horizon that looks particularly good IMO.

 

Last night I watched Criminal Activities on Netflix. It was nae too bad.

I Daniel Blake was watched tonight. Loach at his finest, a stunning film.

 

The sad part of it all is that Tories will watch it with a sense of pride thay their policies are working.
