What film did you watch last night?

[swee'pea99]

Just watched The Big Country, with Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, an epic story and a landscape to match. Of its genre, flawless. Of any, a majestic piece of work. Wonderful.

Just watched "In order of disappearance" - Stellen Skarsgard superb as always, in this slow burn superior revenge movie. Very violent and dark, but quite a few rather unsettling laughs along the way. Skarsgard says little.and is yet compelling. The brilliantly written dialogue is everyday trivia rather than Goodfellas wise-craking.

It's very much a slow Scandinavian movie - so whilst there's action in it, it's.not action movie.

A very superior.film. Best film I've seen in a year or two

Tower Heist, banal yet fun!

The International.

Euro type film with Clive Owen battling evil Bankers. Nice gun fight two thirds of the way through but either side you have an unbelievable plot alongside actors just turning up to pay the rent.

 

[John the Monkey]

"Take Shelter".

Really good, but a difficult plot to elaborate on without spoilering.

 

[benb]

Sabotage. Pretty good for that genre. Arnie is quite good in it, as is Sam Worthington

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Kevin Conroy, as Bruce Wayne/Batman, has the most wonderful voice for the part, plus there's Mark 'Star-Wars' Hamill voicing The Joker!





And, as for that 'Dark-Deco' look to the films & TV Series, simply superb!!!!

12 Years a Slave - a very good film, but, due to the nature of it, not enjoyable at all.

Three of us just sat there in silence watching events unfold. It wasn't easy viewing by any means, and not a laugh throughout, but I do recommend it.

8/10

 

[stephec]

Mickey Rourke in A Prayer For The Dying.

6/10 - I've had worse nights in hotel rooms.

 

[swee'pea99]

Erin Brockovich. A cracker. Roberts is a revelation. "I'm really quite tired."

 

[Cyclist33]

Ronin, followed by Inglourious Basterds. Ace!

 

[Gravity Aided]

Saving Mr Banks- Quite entertaining.

 

[Drago]

The Fifth Element. I'm still none the wiser.

 

[Leaway2]

The Adventures of Robin Hood - "Dashing" Errol Flynn as Robin with Basil Rathbone and Claude Rains as the baddies.

Another favourite of mine is "The sea hawk".

The Fifth Element. I'm still none the wiser.

I can never see that expression without being reminded of the exchange between a judge and FE Smith - Tory toff & great chum of Churchill:

Judge: I've listened to you for an hour and I'm none the wiser.
Smith: None the wiser perhaps, my lord, but certainly better informed.
