    I know - oldies again. But I just watched Doctor Zhivago again. For about the tenth time. Why don't they make movies like this anymore? Great musical score, great story, fantastic acting, and incredible scenery and photography. I watched about three movies over the last week - all motherfucker this and motherfucker that; drug dealing, rap "music" - just garbage. Now and then, I just have to watch a real movie, to remember what they were like and why I loved the movies.

    DJango unchained - excellent - Tarantino at almost his best.
    I agree. It took me a couple of minutes to realize that dentist was the same guy who played the SS Major in Bastards. It must be fun to be part of a QT film.

    I'm looking for a film to watch , how about
    Life of Pi
    worth downloading ?

    I was told how great the book was and years ago I read the first page or two ,
    but got annoyed when he started telling me 'interesting ' facts , about a Sloth I think , rather than gettig on with telling me a story , and did not bother reading any further .

    God Bless America

    A middle aged guy hooks up with a teenage girl to go on a shooting spree. It's sardonic, but doesn't really pull it off.
    If you like watching Americans kill each other you might like it, but not in a yippee kiyaay kinda way.

    6/10
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    The Master - 2012 Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

    This film has an unmistakable kinship to Let There Be Blood by the same director. Joaquin Phoenix gives a superb performance as a self destructive loser who makes a weird, unlikely connection to a self-styled cult guru played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. This is a beautifully shot film crafted by a man in total command of his art. Not for everybody but I found it to be a remarkable film. 9/10

    Life of Pi - 2012 Directed by Ang Lee

    Another superb film by a modern cinematic master story teller. What a great big beautiful movie that is both visually exciting and thought provoking. 9/10

    Hitchcock - 2012 Directed by Sacha Gervasi.

    I really wanted to like this film because I am a huge Hitchcock fan but I ended up feeling that it did his legacy a huge disservice because it is largely a piece of made up fiction. Anthony Hopkins looks trapped inside a rubber fat suit and gives a totally unconvincing performance. 5/10

    Really? 9/10?
    I wanted my 2.5 hours back. Good acting and well made, and while it was rarely boring, it just didn't impress. One of those movies made to try and win an oscar rather than entertain.

    ^Ocscars usually go to uplifting films. This movie was dark and introspective - hardly a ploy to win an award.

    Cloud Atlas.

    Starring Tom Hanks,Halle Berry,Hugh Grant,Hugo Weaving and Susan Sarandon.

    Hard movie to critique,it's about Life,Love,Hope,Despair,Karma,Rejuvenation and whole lot more.

    it's one of those movies that will be different for each viewer.Me,I loved it.8.5/10.

    As Molly would say,do your yourself a favour.

    Agree on both counts. The Master is a brilliant film and it sent me back to watch There Will Be Blood again. I liked it the first time but this time thought it was a bloody great film.

    It would be interesting to do a thread about posters' favorite Father and Son flics. That does seem to be the main theme in Anderson's films.

    Watched Silver Lining Playbook on a plane- otherwise I wouldn't taken notice- and was pleasantly surprised. I struggled through the first 30 minutes or so, then it drew me in. Might have to watch it again to be sure it wasn't merely Stockholm Syndrome.
