briggaman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 You watched a film with Adam Sandler in it and expected it to be good? :shock: I used to like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I thought Wedding singer was quite good, but apart from that one he's not done any good movie that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 14, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2009 Two quite different* but still great movies: * (Different apart from the obvious fact they both have yellow covers and "King" in the title!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Possibly already mentioned in this thread but I watched this last night and I'd highly recommend it. Just watched that. Wow, pretty savage stuff. Good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Another vote for The damned united. Any football fan should love this film. But i've heard it is not an accurate depiction of true live events, according to friends and family of Ole Big head, so i refused to watch that. It may well be a decent movie, but if tit's not accurate to cloughie's legend, i shan't be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Saw 'Bruno' last night. Was absolutely wetting myself. Almost as good as Borat. I can't believe some of the stuff he gets away with such as telling a terroist leader that their King Obama looks like a dirty wizard and getting down to some mega gay action at a cage fighting show in redneck hickville USA. As funny as it is, it exposing some incredible ignorance and hypocrisy, especially with the Americans. So yeah, I would recommend this. Just make sure your not disturbed by people 'getting a little gay' if you watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 im shaking my head wainy, i thought Bruno was the worst film ive seen this year, worse than the stepfather everything feels forced, a good 80% is acted rather than the reactional comedy that made up 80% of borat, most of the people interviewed seemingly dont care that he's gay, so he really has to go overboard and do things that would piss you off if he was straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely awful film in my opinion. It tries to shock instead of being funny and fails at both. 'Borat' was excellent but 'Bruno' is absolute junk..... By the way, I am off to see 'Where The Wild Things Are' today so I'll hopefully be recommending it later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Da Vinci Code, it's just the viewers that get it into their heads that it's a true story. It's a brilliant film and a brilliant book regardless of if it's accurate or not.

WTWTA is ok IMO, some bits didnt resonate fully with me and its a bit slow in places, plus the idiots that took their 3/4 year old kids pissed me off with the moaning, crying and storm outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the 'WAHEY it's joke thread"? Anyway I don't think that is the whole purpose of the film, he obviously has to push the boundaries to get the desired reaction, but it is the ignorant way the people bite and react to what he does that truly makes it funny.

Chindie Posted December 16, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just watched Hunger on Film4. It's an... interesting film. Deals, unflinchingly, with the 1981 hunger strike, particularly with Bobby Sands. It tries to be politically neutral and simply portray the events that occured, but I'm not sure it can be just because of the subject matter. It also has a very long scene where Sands discusses his strike and his motives and beliefs with his priest, the scene was at least 15 minutes long and it's in 1 take, very well made but again... it's difficult to remain neutral. Especially when at a couple of opportune moments we get the infamous tones of the Iron Lady played over... I'd recommend it, but it's not a light film at all. Well made, interesting, good acting, you might not like the subject matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hunger is awesome. Takes a bit of concentration in some scenes though, and certainly not a film to watch whilst eating your dinner. Michael Fassbender deserves a mention too because he was brilliant as Bobby Sands.

Im sure some things were "adapted for screen" but the general accuracy is spot on. At times Michael Sheen could actually be Brian Clough. "Don Ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkiiiiiiin Revie!!!!!!!" He really did not like that guy did he! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
