Stevo985 Posted August 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2013 Absolutely agree. And I picked Despicable Me and Madagascar because I agree with that too, they're amongst the best of the Dreamworks stuff. But even those are miles behind Pixar. It's the story, as you say, that sets them apart. The Dreamworks stuff just doesn't have the kind of stories the Disney Pixar ones do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I thought Ralph was brilliant. I caught Brave the other day too and laughed my ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Great Gatsby. Meh. I don't know why I bothered. Too hyperactive with too much CGI. Could've done without Beyonce and Jay Zed's music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I loved Wreck It Ralph. To be fair, Sandler is making so much money horsing out the same shit he's like the Stephen Ireland of Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sandler probably just likes making comedies, I imagine they're fun to make. Why do movies he's probably less interested in, for less money that're probably less enjoyable to film? I think I'd pick money over ego too!

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I saw Only God Forgives tonight. Thought it was okay. It was trying too hard imo. I admire it in a way, quite simple in it's brutality and direction. It just didn't grip me, I was trying to like it more than I actually did. No Bronson or Drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted August 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2013 Pixar are certainly the kings of animated films, but I worry they're going the wrong way with churning out so many sequels - they seem to either be running out of ideas or chasing what they think will make the most money (probably both). In terms of other great animated films, I thought How to Train Your Dragon was brilliant, and Flushed Away is absolutely fantastic, imo. Honourable mention too for the already suggested Despicable Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Just seen the oldboy trailer - DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD!!!!! They are going to destroy this film ain't they... One of the best foreign films ever turned into an awful mess by Hollywood. Only director who could have done this movie justice is martin Scorsese. The trailer also contains so many spoilers. Spike Lee is Ok I guess but I'm certain this movie will stink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 marvel are getting in on the act next year, big hero 6, that's the san fransokyo thing I was struggling to remember im sure Pixar's next film is set in a little girl's head shame studi ghibli seem to have dried up, I still haven't seen ponyo or arriety, earthsea was mean to be dire and poppy hill from 2011 came out here last month I think (and I couldn't find it anywhere local) I thought the publishing would get better, they really need a blu ray box set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2013 Loved Ponyo. I think mainly because I didn't have a clue what to expect. My sister convinced me to watch i. Didn't realise how highly rated it was. Was also massively surprised by the all star cast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Watched the British made "Get Lucky" last night which was supposed to be a sort organised crime drama. Its notable because its stars Emily Atack from the inbetweeners and Craig Fairbrass who my wife thought was from Right Said Fred and not the actor from Eastenders & Cliffhanger. Utter shite. They would actually have been better casting the right said fred singer as this relied on so many typical stereotypes its untrue and the story was absolute tripe. 2 out of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
