What film did you watch last night?

[PaulB]

We're the Millers. 6/10. Funny in parts, enjoyable seeing Jennifer Anniston in her knickers and hearing her profanities but what could have been a good film ends up a moralising, USA USA USA-type of mess. Still, it was the best one around last night.


But may I STRONGLY recommend the brilliant MacGruber! I first watched it in mounting incredulity wondering firstly WHY they would make a film like that and secondly HOW they got away with making a film like that and thirdly, just how did it miss out on all the Oscars?

Seriously, if and when you see this film around, DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWERS TO SEE IT! You will thank me eternally for putting you on to this.

Once again, MacGruber!

Last night i watched Town on Trial (1957), starring John Mills... not bad, not great... but does have an excellent set for the steeple scene at the end... and features one line that is so shockingly misogynistic I can't believe it was ever considered acceptable. A young woman is about to be murdered outside 'a dance', camera cuts to inside the ballroom and everyone hears her scream. Band leader jovially says "Probably just some dame saying 'no'... take it away fellas!" The band starts up and everybody dances

Seconded. Although the same was said about Watchmen and that's a damn fine film.

An outstanding film in my view. Quite slow (in a good way), stunning to look at, and brings out the comic book sorry, graphic novel style extremely well. And to make a genuinely intelligent film about super-heroes is really quite something.That said, whilst I walked out the cinema utterly enthralled, a chap in front of me commented to his mate "well that's two hours wasted" - so there's no accounting for (lack of) taste.

A superior film - but anyone expecting Superman 2 or whatever is likely to be disapointed

Ah, the good old days,none of this 'political correctness' nonsense.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.
What a load of tosh.

 

[welsh dragon]

Shirley Valentine.

 

[robrich]

Sideways. Stands up really well...I can see why it got the plaudits it did when it came out. No mean feat to be moving, thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny.

Great film., one of my favourites.

Kevin And Perry Go Large, not for the first time but still never fails to raise a titter.

Now my 15 year old lad's got a Netflix feed on his new phone he's noticed I've watched it and is currently enjoying it himself.

 

[classic33]

Psycho.

 

[davdandy]

Non Stop.Good but not the best of its kind, and certainly not as good as the Taken movies.Worth a view though.

 

[Ron-da-Valli]

I watched a spaghetti western on Movies 4 men. " Today It's Me, Tomorrow It's You" with Bud Spencer. It was quite a good film, better than a lot of second string spaghetti westerns, and with a catchy theme tune.

I remember years ago heading to the video shop and my m8 said he had just handed back a great film and I should get it , was called Dragnet , so am no falling for that again

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Not last night but just now

Lone Survivor.

A dramatised account of Operation Red Wings, a part of the ongoing war in Afghanistan.

The most harrowing war film I've seen since Saving Private Ryan.

 

[Jerry Atrik]

Watched The Way tonight , itching to ride the Camino .

 

[RWright]

Just watched Noah.
Long and lame.
