Films

Been on nightshift and discovered a good website for films so watched Captain America (average), Ted (quite funny and enjoyable. Would see again) and unbelievably just watched halfway through Gladiator. I've always seen bits and pieces of it but never the whole thing. A film I think is worth mentioning watching is The Blind Side. Excellent film and a great story. Sandra Bullock is excellent in it as are all the cast.

 

Agree with all. But I haven't seen Gladiator so wouldn't know. I really enjoyed The Blind Side.

Yup, www.movie2k.to is the streaming site I use. Not many mainstream movies that aren't on there. If its available on DVD, then it'll stream at DVD quality!

Watched John Carter last night, enjoyed it a lot

Saw looper last night. It was ok, but I really wish id saved my money and waited for it to come on tv...seemed to be a bit obvious and drag on longer than necessary.

I saw Taken 2 the other day. I really liked it.

Have any of you seen Untouchable?

 

It is fantastic, my favourite film of the year so far and I have been to the pics nearly every week

 

Run to the cinema to catch it

Skyfall tonight.  Seems to be getting very good reviews! 

[tlg1903]

Might go see that this morning actually

[Stewart]

Going on Sunday.  First time I'll have been to an IMAX showing of a film.

[dave_min]

I'm going to see it in iMax tonight 

[RDU_64]

Gan to see Skyfall tonight. Never really gotten into Daniel Craig's Bond films so hopefully this one will live up to the reviews!

[tlg1903]

saw it this afternoon, average

[Andrew]

I thought Skyfall was amazing. Loved the last couple of mins quite a bit as well.

[Kowalski]

I thought Skyfall was great, definitely one of the better Bond films.

Loved the nod to Goldfinger!

[Stewart]

Loved it as well. Was I just not reading up on it before or did they manage to keep a major spoiler secret?

I think they've kept it a secret.

Heading in to see it tonight.

Saw it on Friday. It's very good. I love pretty much all James Bond anyway, but this I would say is the best of the modern ones. A step above even Casino Royal or Goldeneye.

Better than Casino Royal but Goldeneye is just amazing. Natalia - really good bond girl. Onatop(sic?) - really good/funny/mental villan. 006 - again fantasic villan. General oromanov- really good villan as well.

 

The statue scene is amazing in goldeneye as well. Intro really good. Train scene awesome. Bond going through St. Petersburg on tank is a great scene. Escaping the library very good again. Has old Q. Goldeneye is amazing.

[Kowalski]

Much preferred Casino Royale to Goldeneye, mainly because it was much more like Sean's Bond films.  In fact, I would say Casino Royale was the best Bond film since Live and Let Die, and Daniel Craig the best Bond since Connery.  Skyfall is certainly up there with Casino Royale for me.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Really enjoyed it.

[dave_min]

Very enjoyable thought I!

Ok spoiler alert, don't read if you haven't seen Skyfall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you guys must have seen a different movie from me i really do

I thought it was nothing more then an average bond film and a personally a big disappointment. Had some nice moments, action scenes etc,  but overall the plot was really weak imo. I had been hoping they would follow on from the Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale plot line of trying to bring down the global criminal network that is quantum............. i.e actual espionage work in a spy film. Instead we are given an antagonist with a pretty unconvincing and poorly explained grudge against the head of mi6. Oooooooo my cyanide didn't work (a hard premise to buy into in the first place i might add) so that must be the bosses fault.

There were so many things wrong with that not only as a bond film but just as a film, First red flag was that it was assumed that bond was dead when he was shot off the train by moneypenny, there is no danger a. that his body would not have been recovered by mi6 if he was actually dead and b. that he would just go awol for 3 months after mi6 losing something so vitally important. Also who the hell patched up his two gunshot wounds? These are gaping holes in the plot right from the outset. I will concede that it was not without its positives though, the new Q has potential I think and it was great to see the goldfinger Aston again (though sad to see it getting blown up). Ralph Fiennes was show stealing in many ways and I am DELIGHTED he will be the new M. For me the dynamic between Dench's M and Bond became tiresome a long time ago, James Bond does not need a mother hen clucking over him.

rant over

 

2.5 stars out of 5 and 1 of them is for the last two minutes

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

We saw the same film. You didn't like it.
