The Hurt Locker was rather good if not a tad overrated

John Carpenter's 'The Thing' was a good movie waaaay back.

Aye it was a good film, don't really see the point in a remake tbh

Watched 'Machete' today.

 

Not quite sure what to make of it. Lots of guns, knives, tits etc. All in all, quite mental.

Seen State of Play yesterday, a thriller with Russell Crowe from 2009 I think. Decent film, really liked it, 9/10.

A Hollywood version of the below BBC series from 2003, which is brilliant:

Watched The Lincoln Lawyer last night - pretty good, thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the dialogue is a little cringy however.

 

Like someone else said matthew mcconaughey put me off watching it initially, but he actually did a pretty good job.

 

Anyway the films about this lawyer who has to defend this posh kid accused of rape - he doesn't have an office so he gets driven about in this big black car, i think its a Cadillac or something....

Saw Knowing last night on channel 4. Kinda weird movie, mathematician bloke's loon gets a sheet full o numbers fae a time capsule buried under his school. Gies it to his dad, who quickly susses that the numbers correspond to disasters over the last 50 years- date and death toll. And there's a few sets o numbers that predict more disasters. Meanwhile, there's some weird folk tailing him and his loon for some reason. Utterly barking mad creepy movie, but I found myself strangely drawn to it, some utterly brutal disaster scenes-folk running around on fire, and the subway crash is pretty rough, as you see a driver's eye view as his engine mows down fleeing commuters. And the final disaster is simply nothing less than spectacular.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over 50, and if its speed changed, it would explode! I think it was called, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

I just finished watching Home Alone.

 

Never gets boring.

Can't believe L had never watched it before.

[thebladder]

watched London Boulevard yesterday, had the makings of a decent movie but the director/writer made an absolute shambles of it.

[King Street Loon]

Over the last few days I've tried to rid myself of boredom whilst out here serving time at NEXEN's pleasure.

Watched Captain America, Transformers 3 & Smurfs.

 

Smurfs was the best of the lot.

[minijc]

She probably has, but one thing I've noticed about L and films, she spends half the time on her phone pissing about on FB rather than watching the film.

 

Home Alone 2 will be up next, another film that doesn't get boring.

Those two films are superb, take the phone, laptop, ipad away from her and make her pay attention.

 

Watched Four Lions lastnight, bought it for

Captain America is shocking

[NorthernLights24]

I watched Moon last night. I've been watching a lot of dumb sci-fi films recently like Battle LA so this was a really nice change - thought provoking and emotional.

[GlezgaRed]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes........was better than I expected it to be !!

[GlezgaRed]

I can only advise people to steer clear of battle los angeles. what a big steaming pile of dump that was on Sunday.

 

Watched a film I had recorded ages ago, Flame & Citron is about the Danish resistance during WW2 and it brilliant. Couldn't recommend it enough

 

I'll have a look for that later today, I lap up WW2 films.....I take it that it'll be on the usual torrent sites ?

Saw Brad Pitts new film 'moneyball' last night. He ran a smaller team in a league dominated by the big spending bullies. Sound familiar? It wis Arite I guess

[buchanskii]

Right lads, I've never been much of a film fanatic and I haven't seen that much of the "classics".

So far I've got:

 

1. Apocalypse now

2. Full Metal Jacket

3. Taken

4. Godfather II

5. American History X
