Reekie_Red Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've been keen on "The Fighter" even before it got nominated in every single Golden Globe category. Eric Bana and Christian Bale is an acting combination that excites me. I've heard many people saying "oh cool, it's starring Batman and The Hulk!" To me, though, it's starring Patrick Bateman and Mark Chopper Reid. Friggin awesome!! Definitely one I'm gonna see ... and quite possibly one I may even pay to go and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Saw The Fighter on Thursday. Bale was immense. Is it worth seeing in the cinema or is it a film I can quite happily watch in the comfort of my own home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopy100 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is it worth seeing in the cinema or is it a film I can quite happily watch in the comfort of my own home? I watched it at home. I don't think you are going to miss much watching it at home. Unless you are watching it on a 21" screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reekie_Red Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 WTF? Indeed Bana is not in The Fighter. Why did I get that idea stuck in my head??? Oh well. I'll still go and see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1dnk Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 The Fight = meh. I really like my boxing but just wasn't taken by this film. Ward's family pissed me off, his girlfriend pissed me off, come to think of it most parts of this film pissed me off in some way. Saying all that I still think it's ok, IMO not worth all the hype. Bale does put in a good performance but Wahlberg's character is made out to be too squeaky clean, I didn't believe anything in the film.

When you see the real Wards at the end I think Wahlberg and Bale have the chemistry dead on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1dnk Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Watched a film called 13 the other night, what an absolute pile of steaming shit! I can't believe Ray Winston, Jason Statham and Micky Rourke agreed to not only appear in this but play backing roles! The lead role was played by the guy who was Ian Curtis in Control, his performance was pish! Looking back there could have been some real potential, apparently it was a remake of a French film and I'm in no doubt the Froggies will have done a better job of it.

Kowalski Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just watched "The Men Who Stare At Goats" Excellent! I was really disappointed with that film, especially given the cast. Just a bit too silly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14Fosters Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I saw it in the cinema, thought what a load of non-sensical rubbish. Watched it again on a flight last year and I thought the same again. Couple of funny bits but was lacking enough of anything to make it worthwhile watching it again but between that and some shite romcom, I watched it again...

14Fosters Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yip. Not enough comedy. Not enough action. Not enough story. No twists (though without an intriguing plot, how can you have a twist). No ending. No point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reekie_Red Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 There were some bits in Social Network that I quite enjoyed Gretchen: 18,000 dollars? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Gretchen: In addition to the $1,000 you'd already put up? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Gretchen: A total of $19,000 now? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Mark Zuckerberg: Hang on. [Mark sarcastically adds up the 2 amounts on his notepad] Mark Zuckerberg: I'm just checking your math on that. Yes, I got the same thing.

baggy89 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Watched The Fighter, great film Bale excellent as usual, and Faster, The Rock and Billy Bob Thornton excellent, only bad points were the English boy who was pointless and probably slightly more pointless, his bird.

El Padre™ Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The only thing that genuinely annoyed me about the fighter was Bales hairpiece. I couldn't take my eyes off of it, it was unbelievably bad! Asides from that it was a fantastic film. I thought it was going to avoid the cliched training montage mind you, but hey-ho!

Cowie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Watched the social network last night - good, well written film I thought. Wasn't aware that it was pretty much an entirely true story own to the character names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
