Film you recently watched: Part 2

I'd never heard of Unit 731. Just read about it. Jesus. Words fail me. Makes the SS sound like boy scouts.

 

I just looked Unit 731 up and it is horrifying! Words are so ineffective at describing the ludicrousness of what they did!

I have to say though, unless they were alive in the same era I don't think you can expect a modern Japanese person to apologise for the horrific acts of their predecessors, any more than I would expect a 20 year old German to apologise for the Holocaust, or myself to apologise for slavery.

It obviously has to be accepted that it happened, and that it was terrible, but apologising to me assumes responsibility, and I am no more responsible for slavery than a modern Japanese person is for those atrocities.

 

Gone baby Gone.

Starring Casey affleck and directed by Ben Affleck. A huge surprise to me - a great film currently rated 7.5 on IMDB.

 

Saw it this eve and we should have stayed at home, was meant to be a comedy but only laughed a couple of times, would not recommend it Berks! The actual story is interesting and would have been better as a drama. The 2 main leads are OK and their acting is bad from them but Isla Fisher is plain awful. I ended up not really listening to the last part of the film, just trying to work out who all the famous faces were popping up in small roles and cameos.

 

The review I read said some of the cameos were good but the film as a whole was poor. Interesting to see you echo the sentiment.

 

Goal good film

 

Saw District 9 yesterday. Was quite entertaining and I liked the semi-documentary style of the film.

 

apparantly thats so bad its funny

 

I liked that film too.

Saw The Mist last night, and will be watching Session 9 tonight. Both chosen due to the Halloween weekend.

Watched Piranha last week. Boobs and horror. My perfect film.

 

According to? It's very well critically acclaimed.

 

You're so bad it's funny.

 

Switched at the last minute last night and watched Blair Witch 2.
Bad decision, it was tripe.

 

The Wrestler. It's on Sky anytime at the moment I think.

Very interesting and a must see for anyone that has had any past interest in wrestling. Whether its was Oscar worthy or not I'm not sure.

 

Despicable Me, I loved it.

 

I have no comeback to that DAMIT!!!!!!!!!! :forehead:

 

Does it have Ultimate Warrior in it? If not, I'm out.

 

No but Ron Killings has a cameo.

 

Training Day was on again the other day , seen it a few times but always worth another watch

 

GI Joe

Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

 

Good film, although I could never believe that all the gangbangers at the end would let Ethan Hawke just walk off with the money. He'd have been soooooo dead.

 

What happened to my thread? I am quite simply furious about this. Non capitalised title as well.

Farce tbh.

 

Due Date - absolutely loved it. Zach Galifianakis from the Hangover is brilliant and there are some really laugh out loud moments, especially with the Dog and Coffee!

 

I watched it yesterday at the cinema with the mrs and could see why it's reviews were weak.

There were hilarious parts, admittedly but I think it was too long, and Downey just didn't seem right. For instance there were too many long periods where absolutely nothing was going on.

Maybe ZG is just better alongside other funnier cast members rather than someone like RDJ.

 

Anyone seen the "Sand Lot", it's about a bunch of kids who spend their whole Summer playing Baseball in a scruffy field at the back of their yard.

Everything is fine until they lose the ball.

A great film to watch on a wet and windy Sunday afternoon.

Very similar style to the "Golden Years"

 

Watched Law Abiding Citizen on Wednesday night.

Enjoyed the film, thought it was very good and I liked Butler's character, my only gripe with it is it just ended so quickly, like, the plot was running and then bang, Foxx's character suddenly works everything out and masterplans to kill Clyde within about 5 minutes and bang it's all over.

Going to watch Goodfellas later.

 

Due Date is a good film, would recommend it along with social network.

 

All of the Studio Ghibli films directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

I haven't watched them all recently, but I just watched Howl's Moving Castle again and they are just so good!

Going to watch another tonight.

 

Blue Streak.

 

I saw it too. Stevo is one sick sick man. The super glue was hilarious though.

 

Saw Days of Heaven for the first time pretty recently, thought it was really good.

Also, anyone seen a Japanese movie called 'House'? It's directed by a guy who had only previously directed commercials, and so the whole film has that glossy feel to it to an extent. Also the special effects are incredible, just so dated and bizarre looking. I believe the script was co-written with his young daughter or something similar? Weird and wonderful.

Saw Harry Potter today, wasn't amazing but it's one you've got to see to be honest
