Dr Gloom 22155 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thought it was quite brilliant and stylised, saw it about 5 years ago. It was funny how much shit the protagonist had to go through on his road to redemption. I loved the toilet scene. Made the trainspotting one look quite tame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15722 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I saw that on a dodgy download with really badly translated subtitles. Bit offputting. As was the toilet scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Head Hunters. Enjoyable Norwegian popcorn fare on Netflix. 7/10It was on BBC4 last night. I started watching Inherent Vice last night but I'd had half a bottle of wine with me dad before hand so I fell asleep an hour into it. It had the feel of a film I would really love (reminiscent of The Long Goodbye or a mix of Chinatown and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) but I was really struggling to make any sense of it. I was hoping that was mainly down to me being half asleep but on reading some of the comments on IMDB it looks like that might just be the way it is with it. I'll definitely have another go at it when I'm more awake though. If only for Joanna Newsome's narration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33849 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Argo and Life of Pi. Enjoyed Argo but wondered why in the credits at the end they never mentioned the aborted attempt by their special forces where eight of them died? Also got to see the bit where "The Brits turned them away" when they actually put them up for a night. I still enjoyed it but tut, tut, those pesky Hollywood films, coming over here, making up shite, etc. Life of Pi was a strange one, watched it as I thought my nine year old would like it which she did, but wasn't as good as I thought it might be. Not bad all the same. Yours sincerely, Barry Norman Happy Acorn Resting Home, London, W12 8QT 23rd May, 1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46034 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The Theory of Everything. I enjoyed it. The pair that played Hawking and his wife did a class job. Fair play to Frank LeBoeuf for turning up as the French doctor as well - since when did that prick get into Acting? Also watched The Imitation Game. Preferred it of the two, Cumberbatch was great in it and it just lent itself a bit better to the medium. Anyway nowt like watching two films about geniuses in one day to make you question what the fuck you've achieved in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Finished watching Inherent Vice. Extremely convoluted for what was basically a very straightforward story. It was like they were actively trying to confuse you. Which is a bit of a shame because other than that it was very likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46034 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 By the way, watched Birdman as well. What a load of self indulgent shit. I fought the urge to turn it off all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15722 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Really enjoyed the help. MrsP talked me into watching it. You is Kaaaand, you is smart, you is important. (Caught up with a few TiVo'd films recently, The Help and (500) Days Of Summer among them. Both diverting but flawed in their own way. meh/10.)

Happy Face 29 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Why cause you had a little man cry? Exactly. Ironically, given the condition of Hawking, Turing was too much of a robot to empathise with as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
