villa4europe Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 i dunno yet, the best bit of the trailer IMO on the train at the same time looks cheap, im not that familiar with the SS or logan in japan other than a few cartoons, think they will play on jean grey too much and it already looks to have a ridiculous plot hole - he becomes mortal, it hurts when he gets hit, hurts when he gets shot, he's covered in scars, yet he can still get the claws out...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm intrigued by 'The Place Beyond The Pines'. It seems to have divided people quite a bit, usually alone the 'flawed and shit' or 'flawed but good'. I admit I have a soft spot for flawed, ambitious crime films so I'll see it.

hogso Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I watched Winter's Bone and goddaym if I dint have to put the subs on y'all. I think I can sympathise a bit better with those American shows that have subs for Brummy's or Geordie's or whatever now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Any of you lot familiar with the actor wesley jonathan? Do you rate any of the films he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2013 Any of you lot familiar with the actor wesley jonathan? Do you rate any of the films he is in. Only one film in his canon that piqued my interest. The celibate nympho chronicles appears worth a look. On second thoughts though, if the nymphos are celibate, there's probably not much going on.

villa4europe Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) gi joe really dont get what they were thinking, on one hand the 1st film was shit with a dodgy story and dodgier CGI so something drastic needed to happen, on the other they kill off the entire joe cast, turn bad guys in good guys, go overly american, introduce willis but then give him hardly any screen time and have an equally shit story so that doesnt work either, firefly is a good addition other than that its pretty bad Edited March 30, 2013 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just watching the first GI Joe and its truly awful but at least its got Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols in it with their massive baps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I watched three films today. First up was The Hobbit. It was a lot better than I expected. The pacing was certainly a lot different to The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and it was noticeably 'lighter' in tone, but I am of the assumption that is in keeping with the books. I enjoyed it all the same. It was visually stunning, it flowed well and there was more than enough action to keep the child in me happy. I simply love the world and not having read the books I'm genuinely gripped by the story. It didn't feel 2 hours 50 minutes either. I'm struggling to think of many negatives, though perhaps I could have done with more back story. It's an 8/10 any day of the week. Then we watched Dark City. A genuinely odd, messy film. Plothole's galore, it felt cramped and dated despite the glorious (for the time) SFX. However, it was creepy enough and fantastical enough to provide interest for the running time and the cinematography was absolutely superb. Interesting concept movie, at times surprisingly poorly executed. 5/10 The best of the lot was Secret in Their Eyes. An Argentinian film, a lot of you will have probably seen it or at least know of but for those of you that haven't I don't want to give too much away. I knew nothing going in to it and that helped my enjoyment. Remarkable screenplay, twisting and turning the whole way through. Even the love story contained within didn't seem contrived as they often can do. It's a film that knows how to use it's plot devices without over egging them. Nothing is signposted and it constantly has you leaning forward. Top notch acting all round too, just a really, really good film. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he became more then surely he'd just instantly die anyway, I always thought it was his healing factor that allowed his body to even survive in that state.

rjw63 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 We watched Cloud Atlas last night. Not sure if it was great or cack, very confusing. Some good acting in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2013 Heyo! Back from holidays But I've been getting through some films along the way. Amélie - Thoroughly charming film and Audrey Tautou is distractingly gorgeous in it. Very enjoyable 9/10. Silver Linings Playbook - Good performances even if the storyline is a little bland making it over-rated IMO. 7.5/10 The Descendants - Again, I found it to be a little over-rated although still a good movie. 7/10 Perrier's Bounty - Good cast and a fun crime caper. Knew what I was getting and got it. 7.5/10 Wreck It Ralph - What can you say. Nostalgia a-go-go. Enjoyable stuff 8/10 Pan's Labyrinth - So I'm late to the party. Didn't know what to expect here but enjoyed it more for that. 8/10 Gangs of New York - Really enjoyed this. What a cast and great performances. I should've watched this sooner. 9/10 Frankenweenie - Was recommended by an animator mate of mine. It was OK but it didn't do much for me. 6/10 There are probably more. I can't think at the mo'.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Aye, Gangs of New York is a cracking film, I love it's grubby feel. Arguably Daniel Day Lewis's finest hour, I think it's underrated by the many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Perrier's Bounty was weird. I think the writers were trying to be cleverer than they are. Was no need for all characters to talk as if they were masters of English language. still decent watch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably Daniel Day Lewis's finest hour, I think it's underrated by the many. It really is. 2 leads were brilliant in it and dont know why not as popular as it should be. Only thing that irritated me was teh Cameron Diaz character for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it took me a while to get over Jim Broadbent's Irish accent. Jesus, when will everyone learn. If you don't have an Oirish accent, don't try putting one on. It never ever works.

BOF Posted April 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2013 Only thing that irritated me was teh Cameron Diaz character for some reasonAgain, I agree. I think it would've benefitted from a lesser known actress. In fairness they had one lined up until the studio demanded a 'more bankable' star. It didn't really irritate. I just remember thinking it didn't need Diaz.I tend to read all the trivia/goofs etc on IMDb after watching an enjoyable film. DDL was so fed up with the greasy feel of his hair that he shaved it off immediately after filming had ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 maybe irritating wasnt the word but it didnt have to be her. Could have been any actress in that role but kept just thinking it was Cameron Diaz and not the character. be shocked if she had any impact on box-office returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
