What film did you watch last night?

[Sittingduck]

Paddington - and excellent it was too!

 

[Hitchington]

It is! Human beings regressing to their base amoral selves, as the title sequence with its series of wild animals suggests. Which side you take in each tale is left entirely up to the viewer. It's very well put together and a great mixture of laugh out loud and sharp intake of breath. The actor who was so good in The Secrets in Their Eyes is very good again.

Good, I've just seen Greenwich Picturehouse are showing it.

Wild Tales - Argentinian portmanteau of very darkly comic stories of mayhem and revenge, the first of which is wince-inducingly prescient given a recent tragic news story (I'm not giving anything away here, as the pre-publicity rather strangely described the plot). Hugely enjoyable film nevertheless.

Watched this film at the cinema on Saturday night. Excellent film.

Yesterday watched The London Nobody Knows and The Way We Used to Live at the Camberwell Free Film Festival. 2 fascinating films of archive film footage from the 1950s-1980s of London.

Wanted. What a load of tosh. What a waste of time and money. What a classic illustration of how even cracking special effects, serious acting talent and a virtually limitless budget can't make a worthwhile film out of a crap script.

That's a very nasty film. No spoilers, but the scene when he quits his job, we're supposed to cheer him assaulting people, it's very unpleasant, Jolie is wasted and Freeman turns up looking bewildered asking "Where's my cheque?"

Freeman's done nothing since Unforgiven, he's done a De Niro and just wants the cash, that I'm sure he doesn't need. Stinker after stinker. Silver Linings Playbook is the only good thing De Niro's done this century.

I watched guardians of the Galaxy. An excellent film. A good mixture of bad with funny. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 9/10

 

[AndyRM]

Spawn - 3/10

Some cool effects and action sequences can't save this from being an absolute disaster. John Leguizamo camps it up very well as Clown and seems to be having a whale of a time, shame nobody told the rest of the cast to enjoy themselves. Worth checking out for the most awful CGI Satan ever created.

The Signal - 5/10

Hugely frustrating and disappointing. The first hour is really well crafted and interesting, but then everything falls apart in the last 30 minutes. Neither of us could work out what had gone wrong: personally I think they gave up on the plot and wanted to show off the CGI they'd paid for (which was a bit weird, but I don't want to spoil it if you still fancy it after my poor review.) Promised much, delivered little.

One positive is that I saw it in a screen I've never been in at Tyneside Cinema, The Gallery. Great sound, very comfortable seats and sensible screen size for the space, shame about the film.

Home.

Alreet I s'pose. 6.5/10

Is that the one where a French family live alongside an unfinished road?

I like that one.

 

[AndyRM]

My sympathies. A truly awful film.

 

[Saluki]

Finally got around to watching Milk. It was a great film and I enjoyed it.

 

[John the Monkey]

Oh! They're quite different then.

 

[Hitchington]

Haha, when film titles collide.

 

[Ron-da-Valli]

Watched Solomon Kane again. Quite a good film.

The London nobody knows is excellent, assuming it's the James Mason one.

I recall How We Used To Live was a Yorkshire TV production for Schools & Colleges and there's about fifty 15-20 minute parts.. what's the one you saw?

I love archive stuff like that.

not last night but last week i watched this utterly charming short film...
