Finally got round to watching A Clockwork Orange in full last night, I thought there was going to be loads of graphic stuff but there wasn't Found it funny overall..

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Good film. Yup.

Watched American Reunion earlier. It started really poorly. The main four (excluding Stifler) just talked really slowly and I'm not sure why it was so noticeable, but it was lagging in energy and just got off to a bad start (particularly with Kevin and Oz).

But then all of the side-characters began to appear, the music began to filter in, and the storyline got a lot better. The inclusion of Jim's dad as someone above a pantomime embarrassment figure was really nice, too. It ended up a really sweet, poignant film and anyone who enjoyed the first 3 (proper) films will love it. There weren't many LOL moments - although Stifler's party was great, and so was the twist towards the end.

Spoiler:

Stifler sleeping with Finch's mum
it's not really a spoiler, but when it's explained that Jim's mum's passed away 3 years ago before the film's timeline, came like a bolt out of the blue. Genuinely didn't expect them to write something like that.

The film, released 1971, was based on a book, published 1962 - they didn't do "graphic" way back then .....

It's still a favourite of mine, though, because it was such a "breakthrough" film in so many ways, including the soundtrack, incorporating Moog music by Walter, later Wendy, Carlos.

Oh, and I love the flame-haired Adrienne Corrie .....

-all of gothic literature throws its hands in the air at the idea that 'graphic' material was post 1962-

[King Gizzard]

Well, I was just going on what Wikipedia said about it

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 film adaptation of Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name. It was written, directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick. It features disturbing, violent images, facilitating its social commentary on psychiatry, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian, future Britain.

I'd classify that as graphic. there was none of the sort in the film

Were you there in 1962 ?

"The Day of the Triffids" was a "horror" movie back then .....

Obviously, compared to "modern" movies, it's "tame", but in its' day .....

[GypsyGoth]

Very thought provoking. And it's almost dreamlike. I liked it a lot


Low budget, and I think it was about the end of the world, wasn't too good.


Disappointing, but it was still really funny in a few parts.


Was pretty meh.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (re-make)

I really enjoyed it! Quite dark but thoughtful and Lisbeth + Mikael were really interesting and likable characters.

8.5/10

Wish You Were Here. Great Australian movie with an unexpected twist.

Throw Momma From The Train.

It was okay, nothing special. Was hoping for better after my Mum and Dad said how good it was.

[Jords]

Memento

It worked backwards, found it a bit confusing tbh but I think I managed to "get" it.
Really interesting concept.

7/10

[Novo]

Mulholland Drive last night.. it was pretty good and different without reading online to fully understand the story i would have been lost though because it gets confusing in the last part

[LemonJam]

Little Miss Sunshine - I really didn't get it? I dunno, like when it finished I just felt really "so what"

[Shaun]

kill yourself you heartless dick

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Remake) 9/10
Haven't seen the original but this was absolutely fantastic. Easily one of my fave films of the past year.

Haywire 7/10
A bit strange in parts but the action is pretty sharp and the story isn't too complicated. Not bad at all.

The Woman In Black 7/10
Not quite as creepy as I'd hoped but is enjoyable nonetheless due to the period setting giving more atmosphere.

The Grey 6/10
Was expecting Liam Neeson having a punch up with some wolves in order to get back his daughter/life, but was presented with an Arctic survival thriller. It's not bad but it wasn't anywhere near as good as I expected.

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol 9/10
Let's just say Bond has a hell of a lot to live up to. A top notch action thriller.

[Ryan57]

Mike Bassett: England Manager.

It was alright, funny in places. Some very funny moments.

[Locke.]

Deja Vu - 6.8/10

First hour or so was really good and interesting but the ending was a bit of a letdown.

[Locke.]

The Fellowship of the Ring - 10/10
The Two Towers - 8.5/10
The Return of the King - 10/10

Two Towers could have pushed for a 9 if it wasn't for Treebeard taking up half the film spitting out one sentence

I love Lord Of The Rings! Can't wait for The Hobbit!

Bridesmaids Such a funny film. Have to say Melissa McCarthy stole the show though, any scene she was in = win.
