Xela Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The Constant Gardener (2005) - didn't think i would like it, but I really enjoyed. Great cast (Fiennes, Weisz, Nighy and a few other familiar faces) and good story about the search for a killer. Based on the Le Carre novel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Anyone seen "Captain Philips"? It's on PPV right now, and I'm tempted... Watched it last night. Worth it. Even better if you don't know the real life story, though I'd Eden Hazard a guess you will being American. That's the best I've seen Tom Hanks in a long time and I like Tom Hanks. It's a solid 8/10. Decent enough film. First part of it (up until the lifeboat stuff) had me in mind of The Caine Mutiny though (even before reading about the litigation and mumblings about accuracy afterwards).

samjp26 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Another BD deal if anybody is interested, Amazon are doing 2 for £10 on selected BDs. You can find the selection here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=4065771031&tag=ho01f-21 For anybody wanting to buy a few, it also works with the £5 off £25 BD deal that Amazon are running too which you can get here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/socialmedia/promotions/tnc_filmawardsseason2014/?tag=ho01f-21 So, for example, if you buy 4 BDs (that are included in the deal) that would normally total at over £25 it knocks it down to £20 but also takes off your £5 BD credit, so you can potentially get 4 BDs for £15 or if you're clever enough you could get 2 for as cheap as £5. City of God is £15, so if you got that plus another in the 2 for £10 range that costs at least £10 usually, you could get them both for £5 if using the £5 off deal. Sorry if my explanation is shite, hopefully some of you can pick up some gems! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Out-****-Standing. Really, I loved every bit of it. I can't fault it at all. It's very melancholic, and a little more in line with 'A Serious Man' in terms of tone. Very, very understated and, yes, there isn't really much of a plot. I am slightly biased, being a huge Coen Brothers fan. I like how... literate their films are. They allow you to sit back and think about a cat, or why the journey to Chicago looked and sounded a certain way. Anyway, you get the picture. It looks great, sounds great, and pushes all the right buttons for me. I can see why some people wouldn't like it, but sod those people. Go, see it.

choffer Posted January 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2014 It's not often that you come across a film that you know is really good but you kind of wished you hadn't watched it: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Cant wait for Llewelyn Davis. I love the Coens and even enjoy their shitter films like The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty. Gonna go see it tomorrow and no doubt come out pissed off that it was overlooked at the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The Prey - pretty decent French crime thriller about a jailed bank robber who has to escape to get back his wife and daughter who have been kidnapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I might be out on a limb here, but that is the only Allen film even remotely worth watching. Way too far up his own backside to bother with. There you go, I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
