What film did you watch last night?

[MontyVeda]

Watched "Snatch" aaggain the other night, it was on tv so I had to watch it again. A classic film.

"Do you know what a nemesis is?" Classic

Last night i watched Blackout, from 1978... A big storm hits NY and causes a citywide blackout, in the mayhem, a group of crims escape a prison van and the TERROR BEGINS!

Not really, in this 'exciting made action thriller', the unconvincing baddies meander through a posh apartment block, robbing as they go as a lone cop tries to restore order... lame, dated, but fun. Contrary to the DVD cover, it's only 90 minutes of 'sheer terror'.

A great film. Love it. And Lock Stock.

Jack Reacher.

Apart from the distraction of the gorgeous Rosamund Pike this film was virtually unwatchable - it was as limp as a wet lettuce leaf. Shallow, flimsy plot, some very poor acting in places and full of action thriller cliches.

Only watched as my best mate, of too many decades to remember, has read all the 50 squillion books about this character and he said it was great.

Much as I love him I may have to de-friend him when I see him tomorrow him tomorrow.....

[QUOTE 2495311, member: 30090"]They're are shocking, even the one made in the 90's is s***e.

However the two films made in the 70's starring Oliver Reed I thought were really good[/quote]

I've never seen the others, this one was truly feckin awful.

Tim Burton's Frankenweenie: loner kid, mad science teacher, creepy classmates, morbid experiments, psycho mayor, references to classic horror aplenty, standard horror story format expertly followed in black and white stop motion - great stuff!

We're currently watching GBH on boxset. Does that count?

I watched Argo last night, it was OK, maybe 7/10, but not sure what all the Oscar fuss was about.

 

[YahudaMoon]

Loved this last night, if you dont mind subtitles or understand French, worth a watch. 8/10 for me

The Big Picture

Watched it on BBC iPlayer, still available,

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Harvey, a film about a gently sozzled James Stewart playing Elwood P Dowd ("here, let me give you one of my cards, don't worry if you lose it I've got plenty more") and his giant invisible rabbit called Harvey. Elwood swans through each day calmly sorting out other peoples lives for them. Fun ensues as his sister tries to get him committed. A classic, very enjoyable.
