BOF Posted January 4, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2016 Tarantino said Deathproof was made as the kind of film that the people in his other films would go to the cinema to see. It was a deliberate mentalness experiment. Like Tarantino squared. Watched with that in mind, it's enjoyable enough. But I'm not exaggerating when I say Inglorious is one of the worst films I have ever seen. Absolutely terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, beautiful, touching and superbly observed. An absolute triumph. I didn't really think it was that great. It was good, don't get me wrong. But it fell short of other recent (ish) disney offerings. "Up" is a far better film, for example. Edited January 4, 2016 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted January 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2016 If Disney or Pixar make a better movie than Up, it will be a phenomenal movie. It was on over Christmas and despite having it on Blu-Ray, I sat through the whole thing. Utterly mesmerising film. Inside Out was very good too though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I quite liked Big Hero 6 (of the two animated films I watched this year!) I felt like it dealt with similar issues to Inside Out but in a way that was better suited to an audience full of children. Inside Out was an admirable failure of a film. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 the tale of princess kaguya should win the best animated film but it will probably go to a disney effort, its not even nominated for a golden globe but the lion king with dinosaurs good dinosaur, has been nominated, which i thought was the worst effort they've had since cars 2 (tbf i avoided planes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I thought with 'Inside Out' the character design and the look of the whole film seemed really dated, like something from the early Noughties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the whole environment, look n feel for that particular movie. The colour pallete and physics also change per film I guess.

useless Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just seemed dated to me, not technologically, just the color palette and design of the characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Martian was great, I remember Kermode scoffing at the fact it was entered as a comedy for one of the awards shows (golden globes maybe?) I can actually see why, its definitely got a humorous edge rather than a serious one which it could have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 'The Danish Girl' was alright. Not as tedious and Oscar-baity as one would fear. Generally well made and nicely written, but fails to overcome the central issue of dramatising an internal conflict on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Quote Cineworld, Picturehouse and Curzon cinemas won’t be showing Quentin Tarantino’s much-anticipated western The Hateful Eight after failing to come to an agreement with the film’s distributor. Why Quentin Tarantino's inner movie nerd should stop directing his film Read more The film, released on 8 January, is set to be one of the month’s biggest hits but will not be played at three of the country’s biggest cinema chains. Cineworld, who also own Picturehouse, alone represents around 800 screens. After various users queried the notable absence, Cineworld’s official Twitter account stated that it was “a last-minute decision”. In a statement to Digital Spy, a spokesperson said: “We can confirm that The Hateful Eight will not be shown at our cinemas. Unfortunately we were not able to reach an agreement with the movie’s distributor. We make every effort to show a wide variety of movies and we’re very excited about other releases in January including Joy and The Danish Girl.” The Hateful Eight review: Agatha Christie with gags, guns and Samuel L Jackso A blood-splattered murder mystery in 19th-century Wyoming is the notional plot for Tarantino’s swaggering off-message and old-fashioned three-hour masterpiece Read more Curzon cinemas also tweeted that it was down to the format of the print being made available: “We love a Quentin Tarantino movie but it is with great regret that we will not be showing The Hateful Eight from Friday 8 January. On this occasion, the distributor has chosen to screen the film only in 70mm in the West End and in selected venues nationwide.” In an official statement, the film’s UK distributor Entertainment said the following in response: Cineworld had made us aware that they were very unhappy that The Hateful Eight had been booked into the Odeon Leicester Square for an exclusive 70mm Ultra Panavision presentation, and specifically that they would therefore not be able to play the film at their Picturehouse Central venue. Due to the special facilities required for the unique 70mm Ultra Panavision presentation we needed the largest theatre and screen possible in the West End and the Odeon Leicester Square was the natural choice. The technical elements and costs involved with this special presentation meant that this would need to be the exclusive West End venue. The Odeon Leicester Square seats 1680 and Picturehouse Central only seats 344 so clearly this was not a viable alternative. Cineworld had every opportunity to book the film in their other cinemas across the country on the same basis as other exhibitors and declined to do so. This is despite the fact that there is no dispute over the financial terms for this release. We feel very sorry for Cineworld’s customers and in particular their Unlimited cardholders who will be denied the chance to see the film at a Cineworld cinema using their Unlimited card - a result of this Picturehouse issue relating to a single London West End cinema. As far as the general release is concerned we will be booking more sites with other exhibitors to compensate for Cineworld’s lack of support for a film that has already been given 5 stars and declared as Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece by The Guardian. If Cineworld change their mind by tomorrow morning and decide to book the film in the proper way along the lines of the other exhibitors we would be happy for them to do so. Sign up to our Film Today email Read more Irish cinema chain IMC cinemas has also announced that they won’t be running the film. In a post on their Facebook page, they stated: “Once again Entertainment Film (@EFDFilms on Twitter) will not supply IMC Cinemas with their latest film - Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight - be sure to let them know how much this disappoints you if you wanted to see it!!” This is reportedly part of a long dispute between the two companies. The film was one of many high-profile releases leaked by pirates last month in a move that may have affected its box-office chances. It is yet to replicate the success of Tarantino’s recent films in the US, making just $15.7m in its first weekend of wide release, compared to Django Unchained’s impressive $30m opening. Producer Harvey Weinstein has also claimed that the underwhelming returns could be blamed on the continuing success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We’re living in a Star Wars universe,” Weinstein told Variety. “I love Star Wars. I think it’s great. It’s not sour grapes, but if I’m writing a memo to myself, I would say: Do not open against Star Wars. Do not open against the biggest movie of all time. We would have doubled the gross without Star Wars.” http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jan/05/the-hateful-eight-quentin-tarantino-not-showing-cineworld-picturehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I absolutely love Inglourious. After Pulp Fiction I think it's Tarantino's finest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I thought after waltz star performance brad Pitts accent was one of the best things in the movie, it was intentionally hilarious, the scene where he was speaking Italian had me in stitches But then again I'm a massive Pitt fan I didn't think it was better than django, the ending for a start and the overall tone, Pitts character and the basterds in comparison to the tension of the opening chapter, it's a bit all over the shop Which is the better performance - Waltz in IB or Leo in django? I think the glass smash scene gives Leo the edge IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I agree. In fact, I think it might even surpass Pulp Fiction, which hasn't aged that well. (ducks for cover ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
