Film You Recently Watched

[Pedanto]

Freedomland - Basically about some psycho woman who claims she had her car jacked with her kid in the back, but who really hid his body after he took an overdose, few race issues in it. Wasn't bad at all. Samuel LJ played his part well. Worth a watch 7/10.

Transformers - Decent, some ****ing stunning graphics and visuals in it but does get a bit tedious after a while. Pretty brainless plot, which relies upon the graphics etc to gloss over it. It is a kids film though after all so I wasn't expecting anything else. 8/10ish.


Got Requiem For A Dream ready to watch but am not in the mood atm, anyone else seen it? Heard it was pretty powerful.

Feel free to contribute. :)

[Trafalgar]

Back Door Babes

[sexybadger]

Pulp Fiction - Brilliant film, fantastic acting by an all star cast. 10/10

The 51st State - Watched this on channel 4 last night. Samuel L Jackson was good, everythig else in the film was carp. 4/10

:cool:

[HornetAlex]

the simpsons movie

2 times

on the internet

[nak108]

Meet the Fockers

[watford_pyro]

finally got round to watching casino royale alot of my mates hated it due to the amount of poker but im a big poker fan so that just made the film better in my opinion. also wasnt as predictable as the other bonds. 9/10

[soton_orn]

I was disappointed by requiem for a dream, I was expecting a bit more of a deeper message underneath the plot but alas, there wasn't one. Still was a good watch showing the horrors of drugs but nothing spectacular. Anal buggery scene is a bonus

[soton_orn]

And I can't believe anal buggery wasn't starred by the naughty word machine!

Ah right, cheers. I've had it recommended to me so much I'll probably find it **** now! And yeah I heard about the double ended dildo scene. :cool:

V for Vendetta. Good film :)

[helena_watf]

South Park the movie

[fan]

the maltese falcon - interesting, certainly makes me want to download more noir movies

[Evasive]

I watched Transformers today. Was quite entertaining IMO.

[touching cloth]

Currently backing all my VHS to DVD. Have watched the following classics over the past week whilst transferring them.....

Scum
Boogie Nights
True Romance
Beavis and Butthead Do America
Team America
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Drop Dead Fred

[fan]

you bought kill bill on vhs?!

[touching cloth]

you bought kill bill on vhs?!

Yes, but now got on DVD after transferring from VHS to my DVDR.

Don't know why I bothered really, as I have the full Tarrantino DVD box set, but I suppose there's nothing wrong with keeping a back up just in case.

Quite a confusing film until you see Kill Bill 2, then everything fits into place, a bit like Pulp Fiction whereafter you've watched it a few times you've figured out what order it should be in.

[wfcwarehouse]

Watching Layer Cake at the moment, very good movie.

[DrewH]

Watched Transformers with mate at cinema a week ago was quite good but dragged on a bit towards the end.

[Birdydoug]

Watched Greece last night, Oliva looks great in the final scene, how did she get into the leathers.?

[fan]

i watched the simpsons and was unimpressed with the first 20 mins. unfortunately i was a little drunk and when i woke up the film had ended

[soton_orn]

I watched Man on fire, all I'll say is "predictable"

[Evasive]

Just finished watching "The Jacket" with Adrien Brody and Keira "Everything is always perfect for me" Knightly.

[matimbers]

I saw Run Fatboy run. Great film.

Is it up there with Pegg's other two starring roles?

The last film I saw was a weak or so ago on the plane back from Egypt, it was some Ice Skating film from Ben Stiller's lot with Will Farrel in. Forgot the name but it was total cack, absolutely shocking.

[ccwfc]

Hot Fuzz and Sean of the dead I take it you mean.

If so I think those 2 are better but its still a great film!

think thats called, blades of glory... or something.. if it is then thats crapola

[Evasive]

think thats called, blades of glory... or something.. if it is then thats crapola

Well it was hardly a classic, although I thought some of it was funny. It all depends on the expectations. I thought it would all be rubbish and was wrong as only half of it was rubbish.

[essexhorn]

A film called 'Kingpin' has been shown a couple of times recently on one of the freeview channels. Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray are in it. Very funny!

Planning on going to the flicks to see 'Shoot Em Up' tomorrow night. Anyone seen it already let me know what you think of it.

[Harrow Orn]

Just watched the longest yard on dvd, seen it once or twice before but still a class film

[WoodyWfc]

mean machine is better.

[krisvad]

Watched an oldie recently - called "the Razor's Edge". Starring Bill Murray it's a dark drama about a man who - through the horrors of WW1 - changes his view on life.

It's a young Bill Murray in what I think is his first serious role. While Bill is not the world's greatest actor in that film he does a prettyu good job and the story is quite good. Left me surprised and thinking.

[Chewitt]

Watched The Shawshank Redemption on film 4 the other night, twas very good indeed.

[lm_wfc]

Planning on going to the flicks to see 'Shoot Em Up' tomorrow night. Anyone seen it already let me know what you think of it.

tell us what its like, i'm not sure wether it'll try and be good and be sh*t, or just realise all they have is guns and be silly.

i hope silly

[PotGuy]

Saw 'Sahara' on the Beeb the other night.

Really good film. Not usually into the whole war thing, but I'm open to everything.

[albangura9]

Is that not a porno with Paris Hilton in it?

[lm_wfc]

did it have subtitles on it?

[Bunk]

I saw Dead or Alive (DOA) on Saturday.

Holly Valance and Jaime Pressley (Joy from My Name is Earl) jumping around in bikinis for an hour and a half was very pleasing on the eye.:]]:]]

[fan]

did it have subtitles on it?

most of the film was english with spanish subtitles except for some parts which were in french and had spanish subtitles still.

Memento - if you can keep track of this one during the first watch you deserve credit.

the lizzy maguire movie on bbc2. who says i don't have a rich and fulfilling life?

[lm_wfc]

i watched black sheep
good, but the stupidest, silliest film i have ever seen

[fan]

project x is on channel 4 now too. i wonder if it as good (and depressing) as i remember it to be.

[fan]

just been to see eastern promises. not as good as a history of violence but is similar in that it doesn't feel like a cronenberg film. still good though.

[Emmawfc]

click, with adam sandler in it. hes a funny guy.
its a good film aswell :)

[Hornmeister]

I watched Thunderbirds this afternoon. No footy so I was bored. Unfortunately I fell asleep halfway through and missed most of the plot, assuming there was one?

[lm_wfc]

Watched SAW 4 last night! After it had recieved bad reviews I was very sceptical, but in fairness it was quite good!

Very graphic!

[lm_wfc]

i saw the last castle on bbc on frida night again. its good :)

[Cude>2<]

I saw good luck Chuck (F**K) on Friday, load of bollox. Don't see it, i nearly fell asleep.

After this dissappointment me and a few others came out and sneaked into another screening to see Saw4 - Agree with what Bubble said. :cool:

[WoodyWfc]

The prestige - watching it in cinema and didnt really understand, second time i watched it ive realised its a very good and clever film. :]]

[fan]

how can you not understand the prestige?! they even have a ten minute sequence at the end recapping the story to make it all the more blatant

[spikeyhairedhornet]

saving private ryan

opening scene is unbelievable :eek:

[Evasive]

Saving Private Ryan's intro is so scary, you had a 1 in three chance even to get out of the boat.

[WoodyWfc]

[luke_golden]

Fred Claus - Cheeky little christmas movie, pretty poor but sometimes one has to watch these films to keep a relationship sweet. The only bonus was a sweet little blonde who played one of Santa's helpers.

[fan]

i watched pans labrynth again and it remains good. but right now i am watching 'sidehackers' and its just poor. one of the worst b-movies i have ever seen. ever.

[wfcwarehouse]

The Simpsons Movie - very funny, much better than I expected.

[mkhornette]

I saw I Am Legend today at the cinema.


It is overhyped and one of those films that you would waste two hours of your life and never get that time back again if you watched it. But that is my opinion. I was hoping for something like 28 days later etc. Very disapointed, especially when you can predict the end by 20 minutes into the film.

[Evasive]

Interesting to hear you say that about I Am Legend. A friend of mine went last night and he told me he thought it was pretty good. Anyway, guess I'll just have to go and see it myself!

[soton_orn]

I watched "love actually" on a bored Christmas evening

I'd rather put my p*nis in a liquidizer than watch it again.

difference in opinion i see. :confused:
let me know how you guys think about the film when you see it, i was really disappointed in the film.

[fan]

i nothinged that film. the definition of average to me. didn't know whether it wanted the minimalism of the thing or the outright action of a full on zombie movie and instead decided to tread on the grounds of tedium. i've seen worse, i've seen better but i definetely won't watch that movie again

[albangura9]

I watched 'This is England' yesterday.

[The Voice of Reason]

By pure chance, you know just flicking through the channels for something to watch kind of thing, I have watched two excellent films over the last two nights on Sky!!!

Last night I watched "Conspiracy Theory" starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. great film watch it if you get the chance.

Then tonight I watched a film starring Bruce Willis and Jessica Parker ( that sex in the city bird), the name of the film escapes me at the moment, but it was very good.

Did anyone else watch it? If so what was it called?

Striking Distance?

Watched Con Air last night, tremendous film. Also got through the Big Lebowski twice in the last week, no better film to have on whilst writing essays.

[Chewitt]

Indeed Con Air is superb film, would be even better without some of the cheesy bits but nevertheless a great watch!

[The Voice of Reason]

Striking Distance?

Thank you kind sir!!!

[mrciff]

Watched 'Shrooms' at the weekend, not bad, but could have been a lot better.
'Planet Terror' however, is a cracker.

Conspiracy Theory is much overlooked and underrated. One of Mel Gibson's best performances, quite believable as a nutter.

I picked up 'Saint and Soldiers' for a fiver in Smiths a while back and it is a brilliant 2nd World War film - if you see it get it.

Also got 'Stalingrad', russian film about 15 years old but *****ing brilliant.

[Evasive]

'Planet Terror' however, is a cracker.

A very weird but entertaining film. Worth a watch after a few to drink just to bypass the weird.

[Ray Bay]

'The Longest Yard' with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock

In my opinion it's a really good movie

[Bunk]

Watched Superhero movie instead, it's funny but a bit too short and the story isn't exactly the greatest either.

Watched Fargo on Saturday, quite bizzare and strangely funny but a good film.

[fan]

fargo is a fantastic movie. it was on sale at hmv yesterday for 3 pounds and i'm still annoyed i didn't buy it

[krisvad]

being a big fan of like comedies such as Anchorman, Blades of Glory and Dodgeball, I got Balls of Fury and watched it yesterday. What a disappointment. Not funny at all, and Christopher Walken who is a favourite actor of mine disappointed along with the rest of the cast.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Steve Buscemi is excellent in it as he is in other films!

[krisvad]

Steve Buschemi is a legend. Can play character parts as well as ridiculous comedies - anything and he does it superbly.

[wfcmoog]

being a big fan of like comedies such as Anchorman, Blades of Glory and Dodgeball, I got Balls of Fury and watched it yesterday. What a disappointment. Not funny at all, and Christopher Walken who is a favourite actor of mine disappointed along with the rest of the cast.

Watched Blades of Glory last night. What a load of coque. It wasn't possible to work out where the jokes are, so well hidden were they beneath silly faces and hip thrusting. I love a stupid comedy as much as the next man, but BOG was shyte. Balls of Fury was poor too. It looked like it had been edited wrong. I'm sure there were scenes missing which might have helped explain what was going on. Similarly, there were parts of the film which I thought must have been put in simply to fill time whilst the cameras were still rolling. It is a terrible example of poor film making.

[fan]

there is a good movie on bbc4 right now called, 'close to home.' ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out

[wfcmoog]

Surely it is a good example of poor film making! If it was a terrible example that would meen it was actually a good film.:confused:

Let me rephrase it. It was like watching various dogs squat and shytt on your lawn for 100 minutes.

[krisvad]

Watched Blades of Glory last night. What a load of coque.
I laughed long and hard while watching Blades of Glory. It doesn't match Anchorman but to me it's still very funny.

[Evasive]

Blades of Glory I thought was very funny, Balls of Fury on the otherhand I found to be rubbish.

[wfcmoog]

I laughed long and hard while watching Blades of Glory. It doesn't match Anchorman but to me it's still very funny.

Perhaps it's all in the translation. To me, it looks like very little effort was put into the scripting and making of the film and it shows.

[krisvad]

Perhaps it's all in the translation. To me, it looks like very little effort was put into the scripting and making of the film and it shows.
I supposed it the scenario of two male skaters joining in the pairs figure skating and the general comedy value of figure skating as a whole. I always found the "sport" ridiculous but I guess a fan of the sport (like you I guess) wiould disagree with the pi55-take ;o)

[fan]

i know blades of glory had will arnet in it (of arrested development fame) but balanced up against the ferrel, slap-sticky, two guys dancing together! how crazy is this! type marketing its a movie i hope to never watch

[krisvad]

and it stars the very unfunny Will Ferell.
More than anything I think you nailed it right there. Either you find Ferrell funny or not. I do.

[fan]

More than anything I think you nailed it right there. Either you find Ferrell funny or not. I do.

he's just a fat jim carrey

[krisvad]

he's just a fat jim carreyI think that is an insult to both Ferrell and Carrey. Their comedic styles are very very different. Ferrell has a knack for taking something very american and overdoing it to the extreme. Anchorman is the best example of that - and I think Semi-Pro may turn out to be another one.

Carrey is basically slap stick stuff. Which to me means that when he's good he's fantastic but when it's not it really really sucks. But Carrey can actually act as well which - I'm pretty sure - Ferrell cant.

[DMR]

Watch Lock Stock last night for about the 10th time.

i would argue thats its nothing to do with their comedic styles but rather a reflection of the industry in their respective eras. if they were to remake Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber they'd stop at ferrel. you need only look as far as the last ferrel movie as evidence of that.

I supposed it the scenario of two male skaters joining in the pairs figure skating and the general comedy value of figure skating as a whole. I always found the "sport" ridiculous but I guess a fan of the sport (like you I guess) wiould disagree with the pi55-take ;o)

I see what you did there. It was a poke at my masculinity. Listen bub, I could ice skate and make it look tough. That's how manly I am.

On Will Ferrell, I loved Old School, but since then, my love for the big guy has dwindled considerably. Even Anchorman was a bit flat for me. The main joke of the movie could be got from the posters showing a man in 70s clothes with a moustache.

I think Ferrell is more like a modern day Chevy Chase than Carey. I watched Ace Ventura on holiday recently and it confirmed my position in the "Hate" camp of the Carey divide.

i just found this on the internet and found it quite amusing.

Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. A film in which he plays an obnoxious, stupid yet somewhat charming hot rod driver that overcomes the odds and races to glory.
Blades of Glory. A film in which he plays an obnoxious, stupid yet somewhat charming figure skater that overcomes the odds and skates to glory.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. A film in which he plays an obnoxious, stupid yet somewhat charming newscaster that overcomes the odds and reads the news to glory.
Semi Pro. His latest film, in which he plays an obnoxious, stupid yet somewhat charming Basketball player that overcomes the odds and slam dunks to glory.

he's basically the acting version of the red hot chilli peppers

Watch Lock Stock last night for about the 10th time.

I assume this is some modern day act of faith, like wearing a hair shirt?

I'd agree with that comparisson. Chase - now there's someone who's career suddenly went down the toilet for no apparent reason - other than the times moving faster than he could.

Talladega Nights is also very funny - and again a pistake on an american institution.

I'm not sure if I've seen TN, but I assume if I mix up some images of BOG and Anchorman I can talk about it in sufficient detail to pretend I have, if it comes up at a cocktail party.

I bet Chase, Steve Martin and the like must have either been choked with envy or encouraged by Bill Murray's renaissance, in boring, oscar nominated claptrap.

For me Chase is emminently watchable and his films have more charm than the recent Ferrell efforts, but you could see the Vacation movies being remade with Will as Clarke W Griswald.

on a more serious note, every american comedy is a pistake of some arious aspect of american life nowaday. be it dodgeball or be it school, former members of the snl cast will seize on it.

point break - the highlight for me is when nixon throws a dog at keanu who, after grappling with it in a leslie neilson versus towel circa naked gun fashion, dropkicks it into the garden

[PFCFitz,YellowArmy]

Will Ferrell is funny in his cameo in the first Austin Powers movie when he falls off the cliff. He also acts in Stranger than Fiction, and far better than I thought he could.

Jim Carrey is totally unbelievable as an actor. His little artificial world try to be serious movie sucked so much ass it's not even funny. He needs to get back to sticking asparagus up his nose, making faces or whatever he did that actually worked, like a guy who can't say no or a guy who can't tell the truth or just a sack of imitations.

Ferrell in Old School is rad.

You know who isn't funny AT ALL? Dane Cook. As an American, I apologize to the world for George W Bush and Dane Cook.

PS I am watching Scorcese's No Direction Home right now.

Just watched the last 30 mins of the 2006 remake of 'Black Christmas', and I have to say that it's one of the biggest, steaming piles of sh*t that I've ever seen.

On an earlier theme, I received my latest offering from www.lovefilm.com over the weekend. For those who don't know how it works - you pay a monthly fee and then you get unlimited rentals by post, which you select in advance. You pick a list of films you want to see and then when they are available, they send them to you one or two at a time.

This week, I received Tallodega Nights, which I'd clearly chosen before I'd seen the likes of Blades of Glory. This was the worst film I can remember seeing. Sacha Baron-Cohen was embarassing in it. The script was a disgrace and Ferrell has converted me once and for all, from a fan of his (prompted by Old School) to someone who loathes him deeply.

[Evasive]

I saw Tropic Thunder at the weekend. I thought it was quite entertaining with some good funnies, but did drag at certain points.

My favourite section of the film was the s**** trailer for the actor played by Robert Downey Jr. set in an abbey and co-starring Tobey McGuire.

I don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen the film but those that have I hope you know what I am talking about.

p.s. the film title for the trailer above is the best euphamism I have heard.

[sexybadger]

Saw Sliding Doors last night starring Gwynith Paltrow. Don't like chick flicks but wasn't too bad.

For that comment alone, i no longer like you.

It's not like I haven't tried. I've watched all his films, but they've been progressively more awful.

Run Fat Boy Run. Was fairly decent I must say, a few good lines. Not as good as Shaun of The Dead/Hot Fuzz though.

i went to the cinema last year with my mate. armed with a load of beers we went for the first showing of the day and were the only people in there. he had to leave after an hour so i watched all of that movie on my own, in the big cinema, with beer. it was beautiful, even of the movie was as you say, average

I watched 'Hud' last night, part of FilmFour's tribute to Paul Newman and watching him open cans of beer all the way through the film made me realise I had forgotten about life before ring-pull cans. The days when, to open a can of beer, you had to pierce it with two triangle shaped holes on either side of the can or if you didn't have one of those kitchen tools available, stab it twice with a screwdriver.

[afanof]

Wow, what a story!

Seen the one where he gets hypnotized to go back to a time before he got mentally ill? He's 11 and gets a pet frog, but still solves the case. As soon as he snaps out of the hypnosis, he is standing in mud and can't get clean fast enough.

Saw "Burn After Reading" yesterday. Classic stuff from the Brothers Coen with decent performances as ever by Malkovich and McDormand. Best character was undoubtedly Brad Pitt though, very funny as an outrageously camp and hyper-active gym instructor.

Following their usual plot of "everyday nobody plunged into an unbelievable series of events, with lots of bodies along the way" this film is well worth an evening and £5 of your moolah.

[Evasive]

£5 of your moolah.

Certainly won't be £5 for me, non-student living in London, lucky to get under a £10!

Haha.

Well i'm also a non-student, but i still have my student card and it gets a lot of use.

Either way, if you've liked any of the previous offerings from the Coen Brothers, you'll enjoy this one and it'll be a fine way to spend between £5-15, depending on where you live, student status etc.

I agree, 'Burn After Reading' is an absolute pile of steaming sh*t. Crap storyline, not funny in the slightest, and it thinks it's far more clever than it really is, a huge waste of 2 hours of my life.

On the other hand, I saw 'We Own The Night' the other day which I thought was very good indeed.

[luke_golden]

Poor uneducated souls. All your criticisms are exactly how they set out to make the films, they do it on purpose, the whole concept of the films they make is that they are basically about nothing, if you think any different and expect something deeper, you're just naive.
