Jez Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Probably film of the year so far for me. Just watched it again for the second day running. It really is that good. In fact there is a ten minute sequence at a football stadium which contains some of the best cinema I've seen for a long time. Story - Top notch Acting - Top notch Direction - Top notch It's basically top notch. Tis brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 i watched 25th hour after it coming so high on that top 50 it was ok, norton isnt exactly stretched but the cast and script are pretty sound, Barry Pepper is one of my favourite actors and criminally underrated in my opinion.... he's the best thing about 25th Hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Have anyone seen the "Red riding"-films? They're on one of the the film channels from time to time and I've considered to watch them one day or another. Read that they were good but I don't always agree with that guy.

The_Rev Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Im watching "The Bank Job" which is a thoroughly average Jason Statham movie. Based on a true story apparently. What is odd is that it is set/filmed in an area I know like the back of my hand, literally 500 yards from our London office. Its really weird to see the liberties in geography that film makers take, places which are clearly a sound stage and places on location that I walk past on a regular basis. The film aint great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted August 22, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2010 Just watched Transsiberian... great film, featuring kkr's dream girl (it's directed by a gentleman who directed episodes of H:LotS and The Wire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted August 22, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2010 I will give Das Boot a go then! Make sure you watch the proper version, though there is some debate over that... I prefer Petersen's director's cut, which is 209 minutes long, though I could understand why someone would want the 300 minute long television versions.

johnsonp Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Watched adventureland last night on sky anytime, not going to win any oscars but a nice easy little film and quite a cool soundtrack for those who like a little reliving of the eighties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NulliSecundus Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Just watched Transsiberian... great film, featuring kkr's dream girl (it's directed by a gentleman who directed episodes of H:LotS and The Wire) Great film, also recommend the journey too - did it in June. Can't say we accepted any dolls though as gifts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Watched Perriers Bounty last night - done by the same guys who did Intermission (another decent film) - Basically, set in Dublin, a bloke (Cillian Murphy) owes the local mobster Perrier a grand and is running out of time to pay him.... A good 'British/Irish' cast make this a good watch, very funny in places especially Jim Broadbent's character, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just finished watching "El rey de la montaña" (King Of The Hill) on Film4, Spanish thriller flick that was absolutely fan-****-tastic. Don't want to give anything away, but the last 20 minutes were mind-blowingly brilliant. All I'll say is that it follows a couple who are being hunted by killers through desolate countryside (sounds formulaic but it's really, really worth a watch).
