Sweeney Todd, I loved it and haven't watched it in a while. I think it's quite underrated and one of Burton's best films.

Time After Time. Delightfully absurd little adventure/thriller that mixes fact with fiction as we see H.G. Wells travel through time, hot in pursuit of Jack the Ripper, who has fled late 19th century London and taken residence in modern day San Francisco. It's all very silly really, but executed with such enthusiasm and warmth that you can't really help but enjoy it.

Loved it, 9/10. Think it has become one of my favourite films instantly because - well, its so...straight out cool
Splice.
Pretty freaky. It didn't follow the traditional horror formula that I thought it would - which isn't a bad thing - but I still don't quite know what to make of it.
I watched this last night and agree it is quite strange, I was expecting a horror so I really did not know what to make of it.
The Final - 6/10, was quite good, a tad gory in some parts but worth a watch.

Le Concert
Overall not bad, it's just as well I didn't check the Guardian's scathing review of the movie before I went to see it. It's true that the movie is sentimental and the characters are stereotypical, but it all done with a great sense of craft. The direction is sensitive and screenplay is sharp, but the it would have benefitted from having a good 30-45 minutes knocked off and it falls seriously wide of the mark in attempting to create an ensemble movie about an entire orchestra with its overabundance of subplots. The moving, unforced emotional payoff at the end was just about worth it though.

I thought Lorna's Silence a couple of nights ago on BBC 2 was really sad.
Blinded by her dream to own a home/shop, Lorna becomes an accomplice to murder. But when she becomes pregnant she realises she's willing to give up everything to bring her unborn child into the world, the product of her marriage to the man she helped kill.
Thought provoking film.

Haha I know - it's almost impossible to fault him lately. I think the performances weren't particularly brilliant (Jackman in particular could've been better) but the themes it dealt with (whilst unoriginal) were great. Plus there's Bowie. It's like they're trying to make it my favourite movie :p
----------------------------------
Took my niece & brother to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice last night. It's incredibly predictable and cheesy but there're a quite a lot of funny moments, the characters are interesting enough to keep your attention, and the effects/action are pretty great. Nicolas Cage is on a good streak.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. One of the best ever Bond's and I only realised after this watch why it was so succesful - George Lazenby.
Yeah yeah, I know it sounds funny but when you consider the narrative in question, in which they needed a new Bond to fulfill it's promise - not the superhero Connery Bond, but a more physical, impulsive and yet more vulnerable Bond at the same time.
This was a more tactile, responsive secret agent, more attuned to his gift of ingenuity and creativity than his arsenal of gadgets. No wonder he failed, as did Dalton, when you see the rubbish that was being churned out at the time. I loved this though.

I didn't see On Her Majesty's Secret Service and I know Dalton didn't do so well in the Living Daylights, but he was great in Licence to Kill. Nothing like the cloying Pierce Brosnan (still the cheesiest Bond to this day) who succeeded him.

The Beastmaster (1982)
I know it's cheesy, stupid and badly acted, but that's exactly the reason why I love it, plus it's part of the sci fi/sword and sorcery "magic" of the 80's and, as such, it holds a very dear place in my heart even though it's probably garbage for anyone else who watches. Well yeah, it is garbage but it's so bloody entertaining. A big time guilty pleasure of mine, along with films like Krull, Conan, The Last Starfighter, Legend,the Star Trek films... etc etc. I could go on but that's an embarrassing enough list as it is.

I watch this film once a year. Forget about Stone's theories and jumps of faith and just look at this as a thought provoking piece of cinema that demands the viewer to sit up and take notice of it. You may agree or disagree with the director's approach to the material and the artistic license he imposes, but I'm in no doubt of the films power and billiance just on an artistic front.
It's stunningly filmed and edited. Just a superb piece of filmmaking, whether you agree or disagree with Stone's conclusions. And hey - if you don't agree I defy you not to look it all up afterwards. That's the brilliance of the piece.

Inception.
You have to hand it to Nolan: compared to the usual summer blockbusters that we have to suffer this is out on it's own in terms of creativity, ambition and style. That is doesn't fall apart under it's own silliness - I mean come on, it's pretty daft when you think about it - is really down to the directors ability to create a dynamic and absorbing storyline, with the narrative holding ones interest to the extent where I accepted his reality and suspended my disbelief, even in the face of such staggeringly crazy visuals and plot contrivances.
It's be no means perfect, and I think the general themes in the movie have been far better explored in other works such as Synecdoche New York (a masterpiece by the way), but there's no other mainstream director with this kinda cash at his disposal who would even dare attempt to get a film such as this made. That he has been given this licence from his backers is a real blessing and makes him one of the most important filmmakers of the last few years. I'm just a bit saddened that it adhered to the usual popcorn, thrill ride formula, particularly towards the end, but sure if you want to play with the big money and get your films watched it has to be done. Still though, a challenging and refreshing change to the usual crap we get at this time of year.
Oh, and Tom Hardy is a star in the making.

Yeah, it is a bit, it doesnt try to be scary the whole way through although it's pretty freaky in parts. I guess if you're quite big on horror films you wont find it that bad, although one of the people I went with had never seen a horror before and he really found it scary

L: Change The World.
I found it disappointing considering it's a spin off to the Death Note films which I enjoyed a lot. It had a muddled story, spotty acting and L was the only likable character in the whole thing.

Ah right lol, yeah I do tend to find films done in that style put me off a bit, and after reaing some reviews and being told it was the scariest thing ever by my friend I had expected it to be scarier then it was. Some of it did freak me out a bit though I admit :blush:

Each to his own I guess. It didnt really look like my sort of film with the whole comic-book style it was made in but I thought I'd try something different and got dragged along by two friends of mine. I was just left a little baffled by it tbh, it was too ridiculous and gimmicky for me, the story was awful and very few of the jokes actually made me laugh. Although yeah the visuals were very good.

Five Little Pigs. Ok, it's a made for tv film, based on an Agatha Christie novel, but I had to mention it because it's so long since I've watched or read a Poirot murder mystery and I'd forgotten how wonderfully elaborate her plots are and it's just such an enjoyable experience seeing how the super sleuth unravels the crime.
And actually, the newer Poirots are even better than the older ones. Very nicely put together.

Murder in the Mews. Wanted to watch an old Poirot to compare, but I suppose it wasn't the best one to use seeing as it was a short story. In terms of plotting and execution it's perfectly fine, but I still think that they've out did themselves on the later episodes. Still though, Suchet is exactly how I expected the sleuth to look and act like. Amazing in the part.

It's a remake of the slightly superior 1983 film The House on Sorority Row - so hardly a Scream rip-off! In fact, every slasher film is pretty much a rip off of the 1970s classics such as Halloween, Black Christmas and films of the Giallo.

The Invention of Lying
It's a nice idea. But it's just executed really poorly - the friends Gervais has worked himself into in the US aren't really that funny. Rob Lowe, Tina Fey - I understand they're quite big over there, but are they really that funny? They're hit and miss. At best.
There're a few nice drama moments, and the opening is very funny with all of the blunt truth, but the development and plot are just far too uninteresting.

I was told the sequel was darker which I assumed meant it had more emotional depth as well as being visually darker.
To an extent that's the basic premise of Transformers, I know - metal on metal action but at least in Beast Wars and what I saw of the original Transformers the robots themselves had more character and interacted with each other. Whereas in the films they have hardly any dialogue, Megatron offering camp menace, and Optimus being pushed aside so Shia LaBeouf's character could become the protagonist. I'd rather more emotional charge or thought provoking drama than watch Shia try and bone Megan Fox amidst his parents doing embarassing things and bland scraps of metal fly.

Funny People - again a really nice dramatic movie. It's nice to see Judd Apatow doing something that's not completely juvenile and based around some guys getting laid or something. That said, it's meant to be a comedian as the main character right? Well I've never, ever, found Adam Sandler funny. Ever.
There's also a total lack of sympathy for the main character who goes through some rare form of leukaemia. Those wanting to see a touching movie will be put off by his total lack of manners, taste, or development. It's a frustrating movie - from the comedy aspect it's LITERALLY 10 knob gags a minute - from the dramatic there's no message. Other than some comedians are wankers.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one Shauny. While the film itself is awful patchy and doesn't know where it's going half the time, I thought Sandler was tremendous in his part - did I actually just say that? - and never played for sympathy or for likeability. I think he nails it, seriously.

I think I object to the character more than him - at first I thought it was going to go down the run-of-the-mill "redemption" route where he sees he wants family and everything. So for it to turn off from that was a good thing for me. But I don't know, I couldn't empathise at all - I found myself more in the younger comedian Ira (played by Seth Rogen): being the doting friend, the naive one, etc.

I've never been a fan of Seth Rogen, although he's not half as annoying in this one! Still, I related more to the older, world weary comic than I did to Rogen's character. You know, it's mad to say it, but Sandler has actually become a fairly decent actor as he's matured. Seriously, never saw that ever happening.

yeah, actually now you mention it, it was Gav (husband) that bought 300 so technically speaking it's his own fault for bringing Gerard into the house:laugh:

This Is England.
Shocking, but gripping film.
Even though it is one of the most shocking and disturbing films I have ever seen, I still watched it. I applaud the film because it reacted such strong emotions from me.

Monsters Inc.
And don't laugh at me. That film is straight up awesome.
The Hangover.. I rather enjoyed it actually. I've thought for ages that it looked pretty crap but so many people have said otherwise, I thought I'd give it a go..
A couple of hotties in it too :)

Really enjoyed it, not a great story admittedly, but it was very entertaining and the action scenes were brilliant

The Man Who Wasnt There...not my fave Coen brothers I have to say...nihilist noir, but perfectly watchable and Frances McDormand is always a pleasure

Wall Street, getting ready for when the new one comes out...forgot just how good it is actually, Michael Douglas is fantastic in it and I don't usually like Charlie Sheen but he's really good too.

nah its a few years old, it was on film four the other week, theyve been showing a few Coen brothers films lately (late at night at the weekends). Fargo and No Country For Old Men are my faves oh and Raising Arizona, they make a decent film them guys

Fargo is fantastic! One of my favourite films! No Country for old Men is great and I recorded Raising Arizona recently and then deleted it by accident :(
I'll keep my eyes open for The Man who Wasn't There though.. :)

"The Good Earth" with Paul Muni based on the book by Pearl Buck - it was made about 70 years ago about Chinese peasants eking out an existence in rural China, but it never fails to make me cry. It doesn't sound very exciting but I promise you it is a totally engrossing film with lots of drama.
Admiral, a Russian film following Admiral Kolchaks career as a naval officer in WWI and as Supreme Commander for the White Army in the Russian Civil War.
Showing my inner history nerd watching this but it was good - 8/10

It's unusual. It strikes me as your run-of-the-mill 'indie' movie, but I found myself in this movie more than I'd like to have done. It's funny in all of the right places, the characters are relatable, and the soundtrack is beautiful.
I guess it's nice to have a rom-com without the conventional happy ending. I definitely know two people who represent the main characters as well. aaaaah ****it, I love it.

Hard not to like that film even though beforehand I wasn't looking forward to it at all. Still though, doubt I'll watch it again.

You're forgetting the Big Lebowski and Miller's Crossing. Tut tut.
Monsters - 3/10 - Far to dragged out and boring, it focuses on the 2 main characters far too much, when someone finds out were the monsters actually were in this film let me know :hugesmile: it was a waste of 90 minutes imo:bored:

Fargo. Was a strange one because I thought William H Macy was the main character but then a whole 45 minutes in to it he takes a big back seat while Frances McDormand suddenly appeared from nowhere and took over.
Was an alright film.

X-men 3; the final stand.
Had it for ages but only just got round to watching it! Entertaining enough but not as good as X2. Vinnie Jones hilariously awful.

Oh I love that film!! Thought Macy's character was brilliant in it! :)

An excellent film. Yes I found it strange how Frances McDormand was billed as the main character but didn't appear until almost halfway through the film???

Just watched Serpico on Sky Movies, (had seen it before). Wasn't a big fan of the film the first time around but remembered Pacino being amazing in it so gave it another watch, and it was a lot better on the rewatch. Would probably just scrape into my top 10 Pacino movies.
