Happy Face 29 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) The Page Turner Classy version of the Hand That Rocks The Cradle, without the over the top violence. Enjoyed it, though it was a bit daft how the concert pianist turned into Les Dawson without her regular page turner. Hoping to see The Artist tonight.

donaldstott 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Saw Kill List and Drive over the weekend. Both promised much but ultimately under-delivered. Drive was a slightly less moronic, the fast and the furious. Kill List just ended very badly. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Made in Dagenham Not bad. But like The Kings Speech or The Queen in that I can't see why it was so highly praised (though not to the same extent). Very much a TV drama i thought. BBC quality mind, not ITV.

Overall it was a good film but I got a little tired at how every single male character was portrayed as a blithering idiot. Obviously it's a film about women's suffrage but they went overboard in the gender juxtaposition. There's also a jobs for the boys(and girls) element to it as the cast is carbon copied from all manner of cockerny films such as this (Happy Go Lucky, Vera Drake etc) which the girlfriend bums. Love owt with Bob Hoskins though, great actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The Queen and The King's Speech are essentially monarchy-porn, which is why certain people wank themselves silly over the films. I've seen neither, but read a few articles about how inaccurate The King's Speech is in a historical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 *Steve Martin* I think the trailers give away too much these days. I saw the trailer to The Hangover 2, it ruined it for me--then again I had read the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing for me was that I can't watch Geoffrey Rush anymore without picturing him in a pirate outfit and going arrr!, so I spent a lot of time watching the film smirking away at that. Not familiar with the history behind it, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the film. Well worth a watch tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the Hitchens brothers wrote about the historical innaccuracies of TKS, that's when you know it must be bad. Why wouldn't I believe you've read that? I don't believe you've read/listened to his arguments for the Iraq war because you never refer to his actual arguments when discussing his stance on that topic.

Dr Gloom 21760 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The Hangover II I prefered I hangover 2 was balls wasn't it. sometimes they just need to leave good films alone. unless there's a sequel that can match or better the original, don't fucking bother.

Dr Gloom 21760 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) i thought made in daggengam was a bit meh too. the wife puts it down to me not being interested in movies that feature women in the central roles. obviously rubbish - i've lost count of the amount of times i've watched weapons of ass destruction.
