Meenzer 15742 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sounds canny actually. I'd still be bristling all the way through the film and muttering "I used to pay two quid at the Jesmond Picture House" under my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Watched a few this week like, A Bronx Tale, King's speech, The Town, Clubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 The Fighter Pretty much exactly the same as every hard-luck Boxing movie you've ever seen before, the only thing worthy of note is Christian Bale's demonstration of how much weight he can dramatically lose for a role.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 True Grit. I've seen the original but really can't remember it at all so I can't compare it but I really enjoyed this. It's missing the Coen's usual quirks but it's a just a really good western which are obviously rare these days. Thoroughly enjoyed Bridges as always. Thought there were a few chuckles which surprised me. Bridges was great. Good western. The ending was a bit of a let down though. I loved it when he was riding through the night then running with her....and then.....meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 King's speech. Good technical performance from Firth, not convinced it's an Oscar winning perfromance in the same way I wasn't that convinced by Hoffman in 'Rain man' and Day-Lewis in 'My left foot'. I suspect it might be easier to act as a person with a disability, might be wrong like. Good luck to him though. As for the film, sorry, I thought it was dull and boring. Think about it - it's about a monarch with a speech impediment, hardly a thriller. Worth watching on DVD but don't do it too late or you'll fall asleep before the end. It's almost impossible to emphasise with George VI as he is a complete c,c,c,c,c, cock. I didn't dislike the king. Kept hearing about spontaneous applause in cinemas and 12 oscars and that so I think I was a week or 2 late coming to it. Enjoyable...but nae Toy Story 3.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Catfish. Documentary about some bloke (early 20s) that befriends an 8 year old lass on Facebook after she sends him a painting of a photograph he took (the photo was published). Anyway, he then gets chatting to her mam and her 19 year old half-sister who is fittttt. Gradually him and the 19 year old start having a bit of an online romance. Then it slowly becomes apparent that things are not quite as they seem. It's good, worth a watch. And only 1.5 hours long so it stays interesting. Not sure if you were aware, but the bloke and his mates are the ones who did Capturing The Friedmans. Just finished Catfish and I thought it was excellent. Totally gripping when they start to realise everything has been a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it's not her song..." I was really happy it was all fake stupid uppity new york self-centered beaky fucks. Should have ended with the hicks slaughtering them and feeding them to the pigs.

Holden McGroin 6787 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The Collector. Scariest movie i've seen in a while. Pretty gory as well which made me look away a fair few times. Recommended for the horror fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22024 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Saw Neds in the Tyneside last night (as it has a very limited release). Thought it was excellent, bought back scary memories of school days and vague recollections of Glasgow in the 1970s. Highly recommended. I'm now going to have nightmares of being chased by a young bare-chested Gary Barlow with knives for hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
