coda Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Great film. I'm not usually in to this type of ghosty horror but it was very atmospheric and spooky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Loved the revenant! The bear scene was particularly well shot and the scenery was stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted November 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2016 Wasn't a fan of The Beach, Steve Jobs, Sunshine or A Life Less Ordinary tbh. He's made some belters though and I think this will be another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Watched Broken City on Netflix, bit pants really. Disappointed that a woman as good looking as Catherine Zeta Jones has filled her face with plastic. 5/10 Watched Supersonic this afternoon, just a great walk down memory lane. I proper love the Gallaghers but I knew most of the stories. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and 28 Days Later are his best three. Really enjoyed 127 Hours, Trance and Slumdog too. **EDIT** Just remembered he did Millions too. I thought that was a lovely little movie. Edited November 3, 2016 by Designer1 Added Millions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 i really enjoyed sunshine, saw slumdog as a movie mystery special about 2 months before its proper release so missed all of the hype and thought it was brilliant, 28 days and weeks later are a big part in the zombie film resurgence, trance IMO wasnt as good as it should have been, 127 hours with what they had to work with was better than it should have been all that aside though, good luck to him getting this to work, i just dont see it recapturing the magic, there are scenes in trainspotting which were grittier than anything id seen before which are pretty normal now, there were scenes like the toilet which were amazing but have been done several times now, it needs the characters and writing to pull it through, unfortunately from that trailer i think he's going with it worked last time so lets do more of the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really like A Life Less Ordinary, and only a TV movie, but Vacuuming Completely Nude in Paradise is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2016 Second trailer for Wonder Woman. Bearing in mind this is a movie that isn't out until June I'd stake decent money Warner Bros end up showing most of this movie before it's even out. But... It looks alright. Not a fan of the character, Gal Gadot is a dreadful actress, and there's been a few whispers the movie is actually a mess, but what we've seen so far... Looks alright. Even if Captain America did the same thing already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Good cast, good setting, agree about her acting but twice on Sunday...the problem is the start of the trailer instantly made me think about what are they shoe horning in and same as BvS that music at the end is **** horrific, think BvS was the first film I'd ever criticised for use of music as zimmer of all people lazily put a huge guitar riff as if to suggest you actually need to pay attention to this bit, it didn't work then it doesn't work now (the use of music was piss poor in suicide squad too) i simply don't trust them to make a good film, there's every danger based on reviews I might not even bother going to the cinema for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he gets that part right, surely it will be essential viewing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Trainspotting 2 The first is one of my favourite movies of all time. I just hope this lives up to its promise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 4, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2016 Surely Transpotting 2 hasn't a hope of getting near the original. I can see people (some in here ) already building it up to impossible levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source material for Trainspotting was so good it can't possibly live with it, it just has to nail the ambiance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Flicking the chanels and just found War Games on. Quite prophetic about technology, and the last ten minutes is still an utterly brilliant bit of cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Watched a few today grimsby - at times it works and is genuinely funny, overall didn't think much of it though, he pushed nobby too far 5/10 flight - watched it for the first time since its cinema release, very good film, the supporting cast other than the ginger woman are pretty poor but it's all about denzel and who doesn't love denzel - 8/10 munich - I've seen this a couple of times already, dunno if I was in a different mood today or what because previously I thought it was a good film but today I watched it a bit more cynically, I think I've seen a few documentaries like five broken cameras (great film btw) and my overall opinion is changing and I saw it more as senior speilbergo telling the story as he wanted it told, the Arabs / Palestinians are badly written, I don't think the writing for bana's character is good enough and I'd never noticed it before but I hated the sex scene, it's too long and also not Daniel Craig's finest film - 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nocturnal Animals has an amazing cast and it's all very stylish but it didn't work for me. The book within the film was the best part but it made it hard to care. Best opening sequence ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
