Film you recently watched: Part 2

The Emperor had made a clone from the severed hand of Luke Skywalker, and was growing him as a replacement to Darth Vader as he sensed the good in him. The clone Luke was left abandoned in the Emperor's facility when The Emperor died in the 2nd Death Star, and learnt the ways of the sith from the records kept there and found the control codes for the clone army.

30 years on and he has returned with was left of the Imperial Fleet and has been pushing back against the Rebel Alliance. The original Luke Skywalker has been slowly training a small band of future Jedi on Tatooine in the old palace of Jabba the Hut. One day on a visit his sister and Han who are trying to organise the new senate on Coruscant, the new Empire invade Tatooine and blockade it, intending on wiping out the new Jedi.

Luke gets Leia, Hand and Chewi take the old Milenium Falcon to find a way back to the planet and Jabba's palace to try and save the new Jedi. Two of whom have escaped the Palace by dressing as stormtroopers and are being pursued across the planet by inteligence droids.

Thats pretty much the first episode

 

Time Lapse. Currently on Sky anytime. An interesting take on time travel paradox. A low budget well acted film. Reminded me a lot of Shallow Grave in it's cinematography.

I imagine it's what Tales of the Unexpected would be like now. Worth a look if you've got a spare hour & a half.

 

Paddington Bear.....Nicole Kidman looks incredibly fit in it.

 

It's a film about interplanetary travel, laser sword fighting, magical energy stuff and robots. What was he expecting?

Whatever you do, don't tell him they didn't actually film on location on Tatooine. He'll do his nut when he realises it's Tunisia.

 

Thanks for the spoiler you ****

:rant:

 

I watched priest with Paul bettany because I felt I had been watching too much high brow arty fare. I actually quite liked it and am sad there will be no sequel.

 

Paddington. Expected to see the guy from this forum but some bear turned up!
Actually it was very good

 

Just got back from watching Paddington. It was just a lovely film that had me in tears of laughter all the way through (apart from the sad bits). Great cast and the CGI is phenomenal. Very Mary Poppins in tone.

 

Bad Grandpa. The farting in the cafe scene had me in stiches. Watch the making of film first. Both on Sky anytime at the moment.

 

Watched "The Pelican Brief" again last night, still an excellent film :sign15:

 

TV was on the other night and the Keith Lemon Movie started.

I'll give any movie a chance. I really will. If I get past about 20 minutes I normally watch to the end.

I can honestly say that this movie was the worst type of **** I've ever seen. With the horribly delivered crude humour, cringeworthy cameos and tired jokes from Bo'Selecta characters that were 12 years old that I was just shocked that he included.

I can only assume that Leigh Francis knows what he is doing. No comedian, however bad, would think any of that pile of dog **** was remotely funny and I can only think that he knows that the idiots that watch his current shows would lap it up.

****ing atrocious and truly the worst movie I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. I honestly couldn't stand anymore after 30 odd minutes.

 

Can't have been that bad; you got well past your 20 minute cut off.

 

He was waiting to see wotserface's tatas

 

So what did you think overall? As everybody always says about film adaptations of books, the book is better - but I think the films are pretty good anyway, if not a bit long! It's worth noting though, the books are classed as Young Adult not Teen Fiction - the 12 rating is just the film industry trying to make as much money as possible, but the intended audience is more like 16-25.

 

Interstellar. The film is amazing.

 

Watched all your standard Christmas movies over the festive period as you'd expect - All great!

Saw Dumb & Dumber To - Terrible. Tried far too hard to be funny and witty. The only comedy in the whole thing is the slapstick/nut punches. I wouldn't waste your time at the cinema.

 

The second film follows the same sort of structure as the first - the first half being the build-up and the second being the games. However I found it a bit frustrating, the build-up was too in-depth whilst the games themselves seemed rushed and one-dimensional. I watched it with friends who hadn't read the books, and I had to keep explaining things. I think it presumes you've read the books a little bit too much. That said, the action is on par with the first film.

The 3rd film takes a different approach, rather than the usual two halves it's one continuous plot. It's also more of a thought-provoking film than the action of the first two, however it builds up well for the final instalment. Out of the three, it probably sticks to the book most closely - some areas are actually improved.

 

Interstellar - 9.5/10! - One of the best films I have ever seen. The plot was simple (trying to find a new home planet) but the twists were incredible! My mind was well and truly blown!


Battleship - 4.5/10 - The special affects were great, but at times, the film felt like a s**** film. It had almost a comic strip feel, which at points was good, but at points made it look stupid. If they had made this film like War of the Worlds, this film could have been one of the greats. But in the end was silly. Was surprised to see Liam Neeson in this film...

 

Whole point of interstellar. Can miss film now.

 

No NO NO - NOAH!

Just wasted over two hours of my life watching the biggest load of crap I have ever seen!!! I kept thinking this has got to get better so persevered to the end!!!

I REALLY WISH I HADN'T :doh::doh::doh:

 

I watched all three Smudge. No Liam Neeson in any of them.

 

Watched "Untouchable" last night, a rather enjoyable light hearted foreign language film. Give this a couple of years and Hollywood will remake it and ruin it with Tom Cruise and Chris Rock

Imitation game - superb film.

Gone girl - really enjoyed it apart from the ending

 

Just watched a Russell Crowe / Meg Ryan film called "Proof of Life" not a bad couple of hours entertainment :sign15:

 

A beautiful mind.

 

Just spent an an afternoon/evening in the cinema

Taken 3: Ridiculous amount of plot holes, but somewhat entertaining. 6.5/10

Theory of Everything: Not really my sort of thing, but was enjoyable. 7/10

Exodus Gods + Kings: Very long (2 and a half hour), boring characters, skipped over some scenes that should've been longer (like the plagues) then dragged out scenes that could've easily been shortened. 4/10
