Guest alex Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Naked on Film Four last night.David Thewlis top actor , jammy bastard( shagging Anna Friel) Absolutely love that film. Seems to be a one often forgotten about when people talk about Mike Leigh films and good British films in general. I don't suppose anyone has read Thewlis' novel have they? It's meant to be good.

It was on film four they've just had a Mike Leigh season- they'll probably run it again soon. haven't read his book, but he's a cracking actor- seriously under-rated I think.

snakehips 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Went to see Che Part 1 tonight. Although I enjoyed it, it wont be everyone's cup of tea. With only knowing as much as everyone else about him, the portrayal seemed so very realistic to me. 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10422 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Way of the Gun I really couldn't care less about the baby and all that shit. The characters interest me though. I'd liked to have seen more interplay between Del Toro and Phillipe, definitely more from Caan. To be honest it plays like a film that's leading somewhere, then it just stops. I certainly could have seen another film following these characters at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Flight 666 - Following Iron Maiden on tour. Very good, interesting and amusing. Choke - These are the kind of films I get so easily hooked on. This one was interesting, then it got very interesting... and then it just kind fizzled out completely and made not much sense. Shame. Lots of titties though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Metropolis 9/10. Easily the best silent film I've seen with the only flaw being the acting of the main bloke. Crying shame they are missing bits of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 State of Play. Not a bad story. Mirren's bit was pretty bad, tbh; poor, done before and poorly acted. Russel Crowe's American accent doesn't get any better. 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leannenufc 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just saw Wolverine. It wasn't bad, actually...a bit all over the place, but it was entertaining throughout and Jackman/Schreiber were great. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10422 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Just saw Wolverine. It wasn't bad, actually...a bit all over the place, but it was entertaining throughout and Jackman/Schreiber were great. 6/10 pretty simialr view to mine. I think they could have stretched it out a bit. Didn't like what they did with the Deadpool Character. The whole point is that he's a poor mans Wolverine. He's given his regenerative ability, but certainly not the teleportation or laser eyes. Plus sewing up his mouth takes 90% of the character away. The love story seemed a bit... ham fisted. But Jackman, Schreiber, Reynolds and a couple of the others worked well. Maybe too many characters to balance the story with, but I enjoyed the movie. Some cool parts and some unashamedly corny parts, but I liked it none-the-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Bolt Buzz Lightyear was believable as a toy who thinks he's a real space hero because he comes fresh out the box like that. Bolt is supposed to believe he's a superhero because an entire studio has been dedicated to making him think that since he was born, going so far as to shoot the TV show he stars in in real time including all his super power effects. It's just a kids film, but it's that kind of unbelievable forcing of a square peg into a round hole (as well as the associated lack of originality) that means it's just a good kids cartoon rather than a great comedy for people of all ages. The Hamster is funny though. "I'll get a ladder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
