I'm a big Battle Royale fan - the film is terrific and when I first read The Hunger Games I couldn't help but think it was a total rip-off. Have to admit that I enjoyed The Hunger Games books though.Originally Posted by Ferral
Battle Royale also has a book - check it out if you're a reader!
The last film I watched was Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much but I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
Got left to my own devices on friday so had man-day...which involved action film, curry and lager
Went to see the new robocop. Wasn't bad at all. I was a big fan of the original film but this one stood up to it i thought
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
Watched Turbo last weekend. It was OK. Pretty formulaic underdog does good movie, with the extra unbelievability that the protagonist is a snail. Who wants to race in the Indy 500...6/10.
Popcorn: Morrison's, 1 packet Salted, one Sweet. Mixed together. Not as good as the all-together one they do. 4/10
Finally got round to watching Gravity (in 2D).
What a load of garbage that was. Could barely keep myself awake towards the end. There were a few good points, I was impressed with the sound design. But really not worth all the praise it got, in my opinion.
Me and my son went to the cinema last Saturday to watch the Lego movie, and I have say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Throwback movie - saw the 80's comedy/drama Twins (Schwarzenegger & Devito). Not bad after all these years. Quite cheesy in parts but doesn't take itself too seriously (love it when Arnie pokes fun at Stallone by comparing biceps with a poster) and has a lot of charm. It's hard not to sit down and just enjoy the movie. Decent way to pass an hour and a half.
No trees were harmed in the creation of this message. However, many electrons were displaced and terribly inconvenienced.
Sideways- Seen it before but wanted to show it to my girlfriend. Love that film. Love neurtoic, sarcastic characters in anything. Then again, I also like Merlot.....
Watched Pulp Fiction last night. You cannot beat the classics. Still enjoyable.
I finally got round to watching the amazing spiderman this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Friday night was Quartet, about a bunch of retired musicians in a nursing home. I wasn't expecting much (wife's choice) but I was pleasantly surprised. Good storyline and Billy Connolly was funny as a gent whose stroke had caused a loss of inhibitions...
Saturday was Total Recall from 2012. I wasn't expecting much but again was pleasantly surprised. Colin Farrell was quite good in the Arnie role, and you still get the 3-breasted mutant, so wins all round.
TT3D, yet again. Love it! The cinematography is stunning, as is the story..
Mean Girls.
... It's a guilty pleasure. I think it's great.
Lego Movie... really enjoyed it! and the 3d system crapped out in the last 5 minutes (the picture went and odd red in one eye, green in the other... but if you reversed the glasses it didnt...) so had to watch without glasses.. a bit blurry. BUT we got free tickets to any other 3d movie. Saving for GODZILLA~!!
Watched Gravity last weekend, beautiful to look at, but as a physics student, the fact that the tensest moment in the film should have been a non-issue was rather dissapointing and rather soured the whole affair for me
Last film I watched was Gravity. For it being great Eye Candy 9/10 but the storyline was really weak and dragged it down a lot. Found it to be a glorified tech demo
Shawn of the Dead for the 1000000 time the other night, still my favorite 10/10
