The Film Thread

I didn't mind JP3, Lost World is really forgettable though. That gymnastics v Raptors scene is one of my least favourite in any movie ever.

 

Worst scene in any movie ever:

I had no intention of ever watching that movie. But yes, that is horrific.

I'm disappointed this thread isn't still only talking about GOTG. It's the best film I've ever seen. And I've been listening non stop to the soundtrack since I watched it. 'Please.... Go all the wayyy'

I thought about starting one ( a thread) after seeing it as it blew me away.

It's a genuinely brilliant film

I feel sorry for people who will discount it (and other 'comic book' films) just because of the subject matter or 'Marvel' tag.

It's a bit like people who dismiss entire genres of music/books/TV etc because of some daft illogical reason (you know the type - all 'pop' music is crap, all superhero films are for kids, popular fiction books are all badly written etc etc)

I watch/read/listen to be entertained, whether that be a complex, serious piece of work or something designed to simply be fun.

Entertainment comes in many guises. In this case in the form of a talking raccoon and a walking tree, and **** me was it entertaining and then some!

As a slight aside, Chris Pratt is going to be a mega star and anyone who enjoyed him as star lord, should check him out in Parks and Recreation, he is one funny motherlover.

This unscripted out-take being one prime example

It's still weird seeing Chris Pratt as someone women swoon over. See: season 1 of Parks and Rec... \o/

 

Regarding his improv, this is the best, imo

In his words 'it only takes 6 months' and you just gotta 'get after it' 

 

Yeah Chris, plus four hours a day working out and a specialised nutritionist telling you exactly what to eat and when! 

 

Ive been 'going after it' since Jan and I can safely say I do not look like he does in GOTG!

Finally got around to watching Captain America: Winter Soldier - thought it was pretty decent and up there with the other recent Marvel films.

 

My only gripe would be the plots are soooo formulaic and samey - but it's a comic book action flick, so what the hell!!!!!

 

Certainly looking forward to Avengers 2

Great film with a superb lead performance from Macon Blaire.

 

Not heard anything about it before but was impressed. A realistic revenge thriller..

Goodfella's  (1990)  Just watched this and it was as good as most people have said it was in reviews i have read 8/10

Try Mean Streets, Pooligan. It's an earlier Scorsese gangster film which means there's less of a budget and it's grittier.

Watching Locke tonight.

Really looking forward to it as I think Tom Hardy is the balls.

Thought it was fantastic.

There is a real edge to Tom Hardy which makes him incredibly watchable. To carry a film all by yourself and maintain the audiences interest is a huge ask and he knocks it out of the park.

Super stuff.
