Kid Dynamite 6972 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Also watched American Sniper yesterday. Marginally better but its still your typical US propaganda war film and not worth seeing at the cinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15350 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm halfway through Hugo and so far I'm wondering why Scorsese didn't just call it "Gosh, Asa Butterfield Has Really Blue Eyes". Does it get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19832 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Also watched American Sniper yesterday. Marginally better but its still your typical US propaganda war film and not worth seeing at the cinema Started his book sometime last year and after about 4 chapters put it down. Nothing about sniping in it at all. It was basically him wanking over what it means to be a marine with his 'brothers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Started his book sometime last year and after about 4 chapters put it down. Nothing about sniping in it at all. It was basically him wanking over what it means to be a marine with his 'brothers' I thought similar when I read the Lone Survivor, half the book was devoted to telling you how the navy seals are the greatest fighting force the planet has ever seen. The stuff about training he went into was interesting but there was literally pages of just hyperbole about how great navy seals are. Think it's hard for these top American soldiers not to talk about that sort of thing, I didn't notice it anywhere near as much in Bravo Two Zero and the one that got away. Also thanks for reminding me it's awards season lads, completely forgot and am a bit behind with all these films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Nightcrawler - excellent and a bit fecking creepy The Drop - Was /ok/ killed some time, not brilliant not awful I loved Nightcrawler, Gyllenhaal is a right horrible bastard in it .

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 "The Imitation Game" Alan Turing's story is both incredible and harrowing at the same time, his contribution to the world was nothing short of breathtaking and his treatment later on disgraceful. The film itself is disappointing in that it doesn't reveal a true reflection of who he was, more a cold, unsociable figure that found it hard to deal with human interaction.

Haven't seen the film but write-ups I've seen suggest they misportrayed him as he was open about being gay and quite sociable - the idea that he could have been blackmailed is supposedly bullshit.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The kid was good, but that whole part of the story seemed to be saying "...and this is what turned him into a wierd gayer" seemed redundant and borderline offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Testament of Youth Could have been on ITV or BBC1 on a Sunday night. Not bad, but just another bland reflection on the fact WW1 was bad ("mkay"). The wife cried eyes out at the death of every young man taken too soon and thought I was a disrespectful prick for not, but that's not fair. The Great War and The World at War are devastating films, this was just a worthy melodrama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6972 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Started gravity and turned it off Started The Counsellor and turned it off Watched Boyhood.

Rayvin 5151 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 watched it earlier since i'm a massive child, def one for the kids rather than a one for everyone effort like lego movie/wreck it ralph or something I thought the trailer looked pretty good actually - made me laugh a couple of times. Are those just exceptional highlights then, to draw adults in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
