What film did you watch last night?

[PaulB]

Went the pictures on Sunday for the first time in ages and we saw Tarantino's 'Hateful eight' Funnily enough, the last time we went was for a cowboy film as well, 'Sha.....' I mean 'True Grit'.

It's on 70mm film so it's a wiiide screen affair and we really enjoyed it. Great story, terrific acting, great characters, Tim Roth's accent is excellent and Samuel L actually utters the word he's most famous for! What's not to like.

Gets the biggest 6/10 possible from me.

I watched Inception last night. 8.5/10 for me.

 

[Thomk]

Didn't watch one. But I'm going to watch "Quigley Down Under" tomorrow.

Karate Kid (2010)

Surprisingly good. I should never have doubted Jackie Chan.

7/10

I watched the last in the Johnny Warricker trilogy. Salting the battlefields. I was a little underwhelmed by it after the first 2.

Blazing Saddles

It's hugely silly, of course, but obviously made by someone who knows the old Westerns it spoofs, and has a great deal of affection for them. There's a real chemistry between Wilder and Little, Slim Pickens is terrific - I could go on and on.

Brooks is a real master of film-making. At one level it's a wonderful, funny and very subversive comedy, but also the impeccable craftsmanship that's gone into it. Young Frankenstein is a joy, the Producers, and in my view his greatest film High Anxiety - a hitchock parody are all fabulous. His masterpiece to output ratio is higher than nearly any other director - maybe topped by Kurosawa , that's how good he is. Bearing in mind he's making films full of fart jokes (which is a tried and tested formula going back to Aristophenes) but still creates real works of art. Even a so-so film like history of the world is good fun, and the opening 2001 parody is pants wettingly funny (look it up on you tube)

Deliverence (1972) .....Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight.....good film, the canoeing is impressive but not sure it deserves the accolades people bestow on on it...

Good film, but yes, not 'great'. I wonder if it'd be quite so memorable without Duelling Banjo's??? Probably not.

Very much a movie of its time - one of a generation of 'Vietnam' movies, from Southern Comfort to Assault on Precinct 13. They stand up surprisingly well, IMHO.

Alpha Papa. I enjoyed it a lot

 

[Haitch]

Elser (released as 13 Minutes in English I believe), an attempt to assassinate Hitler in 1939, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel of Downfall fame. A touching insight into pre-war Germany and one man's attempt to stop the Nazis. It skillfully avoids sentimentality and cliche with another excellent performance by Christian Friedel (The White Ribbon and Amour Fou). catch it if you can 8/10.
