What film did you watch last night?

That sentence gives me The Fear.

Proof that two wrongs don't make a right, I reckon.

But makes me want to!! Transformers just wasn't the same without Megan Fox though.

I don't think I've seen Megan Fox contribute anything to a single film she's been in, beyond looking good wearing not many clothes.

 

[Gravity Aided]

For some folks, that's a definition of successful filmaking.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared

I loved the book, and I think this was as good a film as it could have been, given how difficult the story is to film.
7½/10

Aliens and the Navy.

 

[Big Nick]

'Under The Skin'....total rubbish but Scarlett Johanson getting her kit off kept me watching!!

 

[stephec]

Yep. Like I said I needed something that didn't require concentration or thought!

Ten minutes in and I was still thinking, "what the .... am I watching here?"

I stayed to the end though, hilarious.

Aliens and the Navy.

It could have been a good film, given the budget and quality of the cast (with the notable exception of Rihanna - see my comments about Megan Fox earlier in the thread).

Even for a fantasy film it stretches credulity to breaking point and beyond, the skidding battleship was a particular high/lowlight. And I still don't understand why a superior species would spend ages travelling across the universe only for a swedge where their main tactic seemed to be bouncing around in the water.

Though I must say, I was impressed with the speed they managed to turn the USS Missouri from a museum to a fully operational war-ship.

I think she's good in "Jennifer's Body", and her place in the film makes sense.

The leering prurience of the Transformers films is not for me though.

[QUOTE 3458913, member: 259"]"If..." but found it too irritating to see it through to the end.[/QUOTE]

Correct. Was supposed to be irritating, I think. Very anti-establishment.

A rather surreal and occasionally violent film based on Public School life. Captures the 60s very well. A film for an Angry Young Man to watch. Left me feeling bewildered, as well as justified in my distaste for Public School attitudes, having been educated in a co-ed comp system.

Oh, and missing another period. "If...."

Jennifer's Body is a fair shout actually, though I don't think it's a particularly good film (mostly because I cannot stand Diablo Cody's writing style).

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I've just watched something. It was that good I can't even remember what it was called

Something about disturbing a dragon whilst digging a tunnel in London... Civilisation dead killed by dragons... Small clusters of survivors, small number of Americans somehow find original some survivor from tunnel somewhere on the north York moors apparently, though it didn't look like that last time I was there... And the helicopter seemed to have an unexplainable capacity to fly on thin air give they were short on fuel!

Raining fire maybe... Glad I didn't pay for that one!

Mind you, I can easily go to sleep now...

 

[AndyRM]

Reign of Fire.

One of my favourites (despite being totally ludicrous), and features an immortal line about dragons and Americans which always makes me laugh.

You got in before me.
