i also think you are just too old to have fun

in a swimming pool with marion i would perform some tricks, believe me.

it's more comedic

it plays more to the baser element of the audience.

there was no dwarf throwing in casino

familiar 'bad boy' office behaviour. i was thinking they might photocopy their jonsons next.

[ChiangMai noon]

we'll agree to differ on this one

it was certainly not a mind blowing movie and is fairly instantly forgettable but was more than decent enough to make my top ten of the year

as for 'her'..i couldn't agree with you more
i found it turgid by the time i managed to get through it

it's on any number of film critic's top 10 list...number 1 on quite a few

i'm missing something there..same as i was with 'the tree of life'

yes, it probably just scrapes into my top ten of movies so far this year too.

Well, as I said it did have some good points. pheonix and whoever was the os were good.

So I could see the pair of them getting nominated, and maybe even original screenplay.

but overall, as best picture? i agree - that's just bamboozling.

apparently it explores big questions about our relationships with technology

what is sentience

and so on

When I read that Phoenix was in a new film I was intrigued. When I saw Spike Jonze was at the helm I was very interested.

Then I read that it was about a man who fell in love with a computerised voice and.....

Fucks sake.

excellent point.

dwarf throwing was a very brave change in the directorial pattern.

American Hustle stank of someone trying to make a Scorcese style movie and failing miserably.

The ending was also a blatant ripoff of "The Sting" which annoyed me.

[Jofrey]

as for 'her'.

i put it on last night.

managed about 15 minutes before i had to turn it off.

Black Mirror...season 2....episode "Be Right Back" was what they were probably aiming for.

I enjoyed Wolf of Wall Street. It had me laughing out loud from the start. Very good film (imo of course).

What did everyone think of Pain and Gain? I think that had a similar style not as good as WoWS but it reminded me of Goodfellas / Casino in the way it was made.

[ChiangMai noon]

What did everyone think of Pain and Gain?

diabolical and nauseating

a nasty little movie

[alwarner]

I enjoyed it. It's not exactly high brow or even middle brow admittedly.

I read the details of the case a year or so before the film came out - maybe that's why I liked it. Although, I like anything with Marky Mark in it to be honest. Dem abs.

Can't remember the end of Wolf Of Wall Street.. and don't think I'll watch again to find out, same same American Hustle, good films to watch until something really good comes out.

Watched 'Filth' last night, really fokking good, forgot all about the story from the book so it played out well, think that bloke who was in Shameless did a pretty good impersonation of Ewan McGrrregor.

7.5/10

I watched Filth last night too, not bad, good character in the lead. Watching the rest this evening.

Anyone seen "A stranger in paradise'' yet?... filmed entirely in Thailand apparently...

A.Stranger.In.Paradise.2013.STV.SWESUB.DVDRip.x264-LiBERTAZ (download torrent) - TPB

Oblivion - Tom (Batshit crazy) Cruise.

Another dystopia where mankind retreats to space after a devastating alien war.
Cruise remains on earth to service resource drones and discovers a dirty secret.
Nice twist but overall, a bit overacted and lengthy.


Escape Plan - Stalone, Arnie.

Die hard Arnie and Sly fans will like this. Offers little for anyone else.
They have taken the Jailbreak section of Face Off and turned it into a whole movie.


Now You See Me - Woody Harrilson, Morgan Freeman, the guy who played the Hulk

Bunch of Magicians go around stealing stuff.
Tries very hard to be a "clever" movie in the vein of Usual Suspects, doesn't quite make it and requires an effort to suspend disbelief, but entertaining in it's way.

[armstrong]

just watched the documentary 'Don't look down'. the heights made me sick and the risks he took made me angry. doesn't give a shit about anybody else. so he's a twat.

[dirk diggler]

Filth was brilliant, quite different from the book and he took a trip to Hamburg instead of Amsterdam. McAvoy played the part well and Jamie Bell was good too.

Escape plan was good but need to rewatch the ending as nodded off in a hungover mess.

Shaolin Soccer was on the box the other day, it was hilarious even though it was in Korean and had no subs.

i think i might watch that tonight


is banshee any good?
it seems very popular on the torrent sites
that's not always a guide to quality though...see 'the walking dead' etc


i've watched the first 3 episodes of 'helix' mainly because it's produced by ronald d moore of battlestar galactica fame
not sue what i think of it yet...will give it a few more episodes

[Jofrey]

is banshee any good?

no, it's awful.

i got Russia on 4 Wheels last night.

2 part road-trip done by the BBC. very bland...one lad goes in search of the "old" Russia in a Soviet banger and the bird goes off looking for "new" Russia in an armoured car.
