Tooj 17 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The Duchess (6/10) Not as cack as I thought it would be. I got it for my Mother for Mothers day - that and some free chocolates from Tesco , So I thought I would at least sit down and watch it with her. Definitely a women's film like Fucking hell man.

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Lone Star 8/10. Got it on video when it came out and was left really disapointed as I was expecting more of a thriller but caught again on TCM the other night and can't understand how I missed out on how good a film this is.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Schindlers list for kids, it didn't quite cut the mustard for me. I ended up picking holes in the smallest things. Why was the Jewish kid chubbier than the German? Were the concentration camps really so bereft of soldiers that a kid playing catch over the fence goes unnoticed? Then there was the huts that Schmuel and his mates were supposed to be building that were frames at the start of the film and still frames (presumably weeks later) at the end. No wonder they were exterminating people if they worked that slow. Shite set design though, seriously. Didn't Schmuel think to look in his own hut for his dad earlier? Ridiculous finale. It was like the Life of Brian - "it's not actually my cross!" The main kid was good, and i think it'd be excellent for a lot of 12 year olds to watch.

Park Life 71 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Saw 'The Wrestler' at the Tyneside on Wednesday, first time there since the makeover (nice job). I'd found it almost impossible to see this in the mainstream cinemas when it was first realeased. A good film I thought, although again one that perhaps doesn't quite deserve all the plaudits (one reviewer I read compared it with Raging Bull which is frankly way ott). The highlights for me was Micky Rourke seemingly waiting until the arse end of his career to prove he really is a fine actor, and the behind-the-scenes look at the wrestling fraternity which was class. I wonder if there really is that much camaraderie involved, be nice to think so. I wasn't sure about the ending, it seemed to leave to many loose ends, but maybe that was the point. I've not seen Diner or Barfly, but he's supposed to be great in them. Good in Barfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Just finished watching Battlestar Galactica's series finale. I loved that show. Take the presidents meandering and overblown cancer storyline out and it would have been perfect. It really marred the pacing all those introspective scenes and her with wig/without wig/with glasses/without glasses....etc... That blonde Cylon.

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 There Will Be Blood Loved it. Absolutely loved it. I'm always impressed with Daniel Day Lewis and his performance in this film is remarkable. Really harrowing stuff to see his character decline into madness at times; that scene with his son in the restaurant made me feel so uncomfortable because of the way he was acting. Spectacular.

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Quick Change 9/10. Nude women, nude women, clowns welcome, nude women. Class Murrays funniest film. School For Scoundrels 8/10. Could have done with more Alisatair Sim and Terry Thomas but still a classic English comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see it last night. Funny as fuck. The kid is a bit shite like, but it's easily up there with Clint's best work - Unforgiven and A Perfect World.

David Kelly 1260 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Patton 8/10. Classic war movie and biopic of a mental general. George C Scott is great as ever. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover 6/10. Gambon is outstanding as the vile Spica and it looks stunning but I didn't really get what they were trying to do with it.
