Got to watch the beautifully restored Blu-ray edition of The Third Man yesterday and it looked gorgeous. 

 

Still a wonderful film.

A classic and one of my all time favourites. Feel like watching it now.

Man pints lost, but watching Love Actually again and I still like it..

 

I love it. Reminds me of a time of when I had hope and believed in love. Watched it with the girl I was going to marry and live happily ever after with. 

 

How different things could have been

She's a angel :)

Didn't even cause a twitch...

I don't see the fuss over her, she's ok in the looks department (Mr picky and all that) but she's got a chest I could do my shirts on and is annoyingly posh

 

 

She is attractive but a bit on the skinny side for me

thats a whole load of nope 

 

He's a bit of a knob in real life (though I question if half the stuff written about him is true) but my word, he is as dedicated as they come. He works hard at his craft and that stunt... mental. Maximum respect.

What moments divine, what rapture serene

Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted

And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted

I know but too well what they mean

I fancy watching The Killing Fields at some point.  The subject matter interests me, it's a part of world history I don't know enough about, I presume it was one of the leading stories in world news at around the time I was born so I kinda get the jist of what happened just through osmosis but I feel I should know more.  Is the movie a decent first step or is it Team America Hollywood bollocks?

About to watch tiger land, one of my guilty pleasures.

That and buffalo soldiers which I think came out around the same time, two underrated "war" films

Yeah buffalo soldiers is quality as well.

The Wolf of Wall Street

 

A very strange film to be making so shortly after the financial collapse.

 

The titty and arse count is off the scale and the money porn excites and delights but by the end it had me thinking fondly of the days of the Hays office, because the film was so morally skewed, with the misery of the victims being entirely left out.

 

So I kind of just saw it as a bit of blatant propaganda to promote that Ponzi scheme, known as the American dream.

I saw Minions in the week.

Not my choice, but it was good fun I suppose.

 

But cemented the fact that Dreamworks (and other animations companies) have absolutely nothing on Disney/Pixar.

I took Princess E 1.0. 

 

We both thought it was great.

I think that was intentional, the whole film was from the viewpoint of Belfort, during that time in his life he clearly didn't have any regard for other people.

 

I think its time for nick cage to stop making movies .........shite after shite and now hes getting shite and fat

Well shite actor makes shite films...

Can't stand him

 

 

How good was 8mm though?
