Film You Recently Watched

Saw Click again a couple days a go very funny :]]

 

Not a film as such, but i've been rinsing through the Band of Brothers box-set for about the 20th time these last few days.

Quite sublime.

 

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, just as funny as the first one :]]

 

watched rock'n'rolla the other day was quite good.

 

So not at all then? Cheers for the warning.

I watched Amelie again yesterday for about the 10th time. Love it.

 

All my mates said the old one was hilarious, and I really didn't find it that funny. I suppose being stoned may help?:]]

Recently watched 'V for Vendetta' for the 2nd time. Good film.

 

Watched Knocked Up yesterday. Very funny.

 

It helps.

 

Yep, tis pretty good.

 

Oceans 11 and half of Oceans 12 last night
Pretty decent

 

queer (giant sky-based) eye for the hobbit guy is on tonight. now there is a utterly **** movie if ever i saw one

 

I just got the Alien quadrilogy from HMV so slowly working my way through them

 

Whatever you do, do not watch Ocean's 13. That's 2 hours of your life you will never get back

 

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

 

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

 

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!

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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)

 

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

 

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

 

I 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.

 

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 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.

 

Wild Wild West on sky one last night.

 

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

 

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