What film did you watch last night?

If only the British Government had hired Jackie Chan in the early seventies...

I thought this was a very mismatched film, a very jerky delivery in terms of story. I read this morning that Warner Bros we’re blaming the marketing for the low box office returns. Apparently making the decision to cut Superman from the posters lost them sales. Personally I think it was more the negative reviews the film’s got from release date onwards.

Plus I’m not keen with Affleck as Batman. The other actors did well with their roles I thought.

Keaton and Bale did well as Batman in their films.

I actually liked his batman but each to their own, they can only work with the script they get , when clips from the trailers dont even make it into the final cut you know your in trouble.

Didn't they give the gig to Bruce Lee - there were a couple of films about it if I recall correctly; Dragon something or other.

A few years back my (then) young nephews were up and I stuck on his film Project A thinking it'd be good knockabout fun. It was subtitled, and not being into "world cinema" they immediately rolled their eyes and lost interest. But pretty soon they were laughing away at it and engrossed. The bicycle chase alone makes the film wirth seeing

 

[The Jogger]

American Gangster, one of the best films I've ever seen. Unbelievable true story. 10/10

 

[Andy_R]

Kingsman the Golden Circle. Switch off any sense of reality and just enjoy it for it's silliness. And John Denver. Oh, and ready to go burgers. And don't forget robot dogs and Elton John.

 

[Tin Pot]

Zombie Strippers

Meh. Jenna Jameson, then more meh.

4/10

 

[gbb]

USS Indianapolis.
Oh dear. It didn' do it for me and I found the usual American macho style a bit much when you think how so many human beings died so terribly in real life. A bit disrespectful. JMO.

 

[J1888]

Not last night but just seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Very good

Extraction

Bruce Willis is a retired CIA agent whose son now works for the agency, but only in a desk job.

Bruce is kidnapped in a plot involving a system that can control the world's communication networks, can you guess who goes awol from his desk job to save both his dad and the free world?

Just for that amazing twist in the tail, one of Bruce's best mates in the agency turns out to be a traitor who's working with the baddies.

Guns, car chases, fisticuffs, you get the idea.

4/10.

We went to the local art house cinema to see Mountain, a documentary with some absolutely stunning photography. It was really good.

We went to the local art house cinema to see Mountain, a documentary with some absolutely stunning photography. It was really good.

Narrated by Willem Dafoe, right? I 'rented' it via Curzon Home Cinema but was thwarted at every attempt to connect an internet-capable device to my television, so didn't get to watch it. It was made with music live recorded by Sydney Philharmonic, or something like that! Got great reviews.

 

[Drago]

Scarface.

Famous for extreme violence, and All Pacino using the F word 182 times.

Peerless performance from Pacino as the hard man gangster who rises through the ranks, and as he gains power and money slowly loses his sanity. Unfortunately, many of the supporting performances are a bit wooden and spoil what would otherwise have been a bona fide masterpiece.

8/10.

 

[Inertia]

Miracle
-and-
Remember the Titans

both quite entertaining in their own way.

Really liked remember the titans. For some reason I seem to like American Football movies; I enjoyed The Blind Side and Invincible too

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

Wanderlust.
Not that I really intended to watched it. Was just channel flicking while I did the physio stuff again, and fell on this for a while.
Supposedly a comedy. Nice to see Alan Alda. 0/10.

He was never more terrifying. And no-one does 'terrifying' better. (Tho' as you say, the film as a whole sometimes borders on hammy/pantomime.)
