Watched Shawshank Redemption tonight, proper good film. Seen it tonnes of times though. Watched Rightcheous (SP) kill last night for the first time though. Actually quite enjoyed it.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Don't laugh but I just watched 'Remember Me'. Pretty decent and the end is a massive twist.

Dik Mar Van Nostrilboy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Dead Man Running - great film with 50 cent, danny dyer etc in it. Harry Brown - The one with Michael Caine where he goes all vigilante on the local youths, quality! Kevin And Perry Go Large - watched this last night, absolute classic!

Boris Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Watched "Went the Day Well" last night. A 1942 British propaganda film which "The Eagle Has Landed" borrows very heavily from. Best war film I have watched in a long time, with some really brutal scenes in it. Lasts for about 90 mins so is quite fast paced. If you can get over the early 40's production values and cut-glass accents it really is a wonderful film. Very tense and some good action too, although don't expect anything like "Where Eagles Dare" etc. I can't recommend this film highly enough. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Went_the_day_well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Gardiner Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Napoleon Dynamite. I think it's a great movie although probably not to everyone's liking though. Also just bought Greenzone which is quite a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brow Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Funny Games by Michael Haneke, most disturbing horror I've seen in a long time! I wouldnt say its a horror....its not even that creepy. It IS however, quite disturbing. Decent film. This week I have watched; 2012 - complete and utter shit. Theres only so many times I can watch a plane nearly hit something. Avoid like the plague Harry Brown - as poster above said, its pretty good. Old school revenge. Hotel Rwanda - quite enjoyable but not as good as Shooting Dogs and has a whiff of 'made for TV' about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Have to agree with both the previous posts about Get Him to the Greek and District 9, both great films. I just bought American Beauty after seeing it on BBC 1 or something a few weeks ago....I think it's one of my favourite films now, I always assumed it was a chick-flick. Rented Shutter Island which I saw in the pics when it came out, fantastic film...and The Crazies last night, haven't watched it yet though. Two films that are probably in my top 5 after just recently seeing them even though they've been out a while....Taken and The Departed, both outstanding.

Primavera Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Last film I watched was Book of Eli, came highly recommended but I wasnt overly impressed with it. The cinematography, acting, sound and fight scenes are excellent, but the unfolding story and ending left me cold. Gran Torino though, the previous film I watched, was a really decent movie, as The Doctor says, a slow burner with a memorable finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic film (barring the "so much beauty" speech, which is pretentious crap). I watched Memento the other night - loved it. In case you've never heard of it, it's directed by Christopher Nolan (The Prestige, The Dark Night, Inception), and the narrative unfolds in reverse order. Seriously, watch it.

In case you've never heard of it, it's directed by Christopher Nolan (The Prestige, The Dark Night, Inception), and the narrative unfolds in reverse order. Seriously, watch it. Memento is pretty good. The special edt DVD has the film in the 'proper' order, worth a watch. If anyone's into gangster films then 3 of the best of the last couple of years are Mesrine part 1 and part 2. About a french gangster who becomes public enemy number 1. Stars Vincent Cassell who is a superb actor. 'A Prophet' is a better film but at 2.5 hours is a long one. Its a great film about an Arab dude who gets chucked in t afrench jail and ends up a mafia boss. Is 'Get Him to the Greek' actually any good? The thouht of watching another Jonah Hill film where he plays the EXACT same character makes my blood run cold. I enjoyed Superbad but this is about the 4th film where it looks like he's the same character. The same can also be said of Michael Cena. I get it, one's fat and the other's a geek. Please move on! I almost forgot about a film thats completely ridiculous but should be watched just for the Bill Murray cameo, ZoMbieland! Serously, its bloody good fun and has a genius five minutes where they take refuge in Beverley Hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Haggis Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Mum & Dad (see here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129428/ ) Car crash movie that you had to keep watching till the end, strange masterbation scene with a bit flesh too.

Jambojohnnyboy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The last two movies I watched were 'Swimming Pool', a bit of a slow burner but the acting is good. Quite a good twist at the end and open to interpretation. And 'Big Nothing' heavily influenced by a load of other thrillers and has a bit of a Tarantino feel to it but it is well made and quite amusing too. Simon Pegg steals this movie.

Budgie. Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Inglorious Basterds on Sky at 10. Superb! Superb film, AP. The scene in the downstairs bar is outstandingly tense. Fiancee recently made me watch "Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock which I was dreading cos I thought it was a chickflick but it was superb. I recommend it to everybody. Other fantastic films I've seen recently are "Up" and "Finding Forrester" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repo man has a decent twist at the end as well.?? I watched 'Remember Me' a few days ago and I was looking forward to it after reading a few good reviews but the twist at the end left me feeling a bit dirty or something. Don't want to spoil it for anyone who plans to watch it so I won't go into specifics but I couldn't help but feel that it was just ridiculously gratuitous. Like they'd made the bulk of the film and then found themselves going 'Ummm, right...what's the most unlikely thing you can think of? Something unlikely that will simultaneously shock and tug on the heartstrings? Something universally effective. Ooohhhh, I've got it..' and then stuck on the ending. It felt a bit cheap and just didn't sit right. Pattinson was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has absolutely no relevance to the film whatsoever! I like films that leave me feeling surprised/shocked at the end though.

I'm no Barry Norman but I just didn't appreciate the manipulative feel of the ending at all. And yeah, Pattinson was very good. You get the feeling that he probably has slightly more serious ambitions than being the teen vampire pin-up and I look forward to seeing him in something a bit more gritty.?
