Designer1 Posted March 16, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2011 Just watched If I existed in a universe where I had never ever seen Scum, then I would have said it's a very good prison movie with some solid performances. However, as I exist in a universe where I have seen Scum (TV version and movie version) many, many times then I'll say it's a decent attempt at an update to that particular classic with some solid performances. There are some glaring differences (the relegation of the Archer character to a wimpy faux philosopher is particularly hard to take) but after all is said and done it's a solid enough movie with the only real drawback being that most of the way through I found myself wishing I was watching the Alan Clark original.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Amadeus is on BBC1, hopefully it'll be on iPlayer during the week. Words can't explain how much I love the movie and the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 17, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2011 Is Avatar worth watching? Someone leant it to me but it just doesn't seem my type of thing. Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it but that was on the big screen and I hadn't seen any of the films that use a very similar storyline. The 3D added nothing other than dry sore eyes that had to squint on the drive home. I know the film got ripped to shreds by many film-goers (largely down to the plagiarised plotline) but, for me, as a bit of visually stunning escapism I thought it was very enjoyable if formulaic.

I watched it in 3D at the movies and in HD at home and while some of the WOW factor wasn't there on DVD it was still a pretty good way to kill a few hours.

(v2010) I thought it was **** awful to be honest, and I have quite a soft spot for the original This. I was expecting so much from it, yet it never delivered. There are some nice uses of special effects though and some scenes are well done (such as the bar scene). Plus Olivia Wilde is stunning in it. Apart from that there isn't much else...
