Pretty Sure I did watch the Game years ago but I have little to know memory of it so definitely up for that, haven't seen Death becomes her in years either but I loved it as far as I can remember so that's a yes from me. I love Cast Away but I've seen it a good few times already. I didn't really like AI. Nell not sure if I've seen that possibly not so that would be a yes from me, Atonement haven't seen it so yes from me. Twister have watched that around the same amount of times as you Ammi, I don't even love it that much it just seems to always be on telly The Time Travelers wife is OK meh. The Hitcher, not sure if I've seen that seems vaguely familiar. Zombie land I love that movie, seen it multiple times though

Schindler's List

Spoiler:

Can't believe I've only just got around to watching this now, war movies always turn me off for some reason. It was a lot different to what i thought it was going to be about, I thought it was about a guy who helped smuggle Jewish people out of Poland to safe countries so yeah i was wrong about that What a fantastic film, very hard to watch in parts though, it still amazes me how so many people could be so evil towards other human beings, it's really sad and disappointing actually. What a guy Schindler was though, to hold his nerve like that when dealing with a monster like Ralph Fiennes character, he had a real talent for manipulation I think but used it in such a good way (after a rocky start) The part when the women and children ended up in Auschwitz and were herded into the shower blocks and the terror of thinking they were minutes away from death, that scene was horrifying and the part where the guard pulled away all the kids when they were being taken out of there, again Schindler had nerves of steel, he had to take on all these Nazis and use pretty much only his confidence/arrogance and air of Authority to save those children when really he had none and he pulled it off. Anyway amazing film, can't believe I let it pass me by for so long

[Niamh.]

he hasn't been doing much lately, has he?

...Atonement...

Spoiler:

...it’s such a down movie, it’s difficult to say that a re-watch was an enjoyable experience as such...it’s just a very, very tragic story ...not just for Cecelia and Robbie but also for Briony who survived the war to a much older age and had to live with her misunderstanding for her whole life...

...I read the book many years ago, before the movie, obviously....and I hadn’t known of Saoirse at the time as an actress...Atonement was the very first movie I saw her in and became aware of her, I think...it’s an obvious Irish name but she had a perfect English accent and so perfectly cast...accents were obviously something she excelled at as a child as well, I would say...James and Kiera, also very well cast.....

It was the 20th anniversary of the release of Bridget Jones Diary yesterday, it will be rereleased

[Ammi]

...maybe one day there’ll be a Bridget Jones’ teenager story...‘you’re not my real mother, Bridget Jones...’....

She was excellent in it, didn't she get an Oscar nomination for that as best supporting actress? Great achievement for someone so young

...yeah, I’d forgotten that as well, that she was nominated for her portrayal of Briony...she was in Lovely Bones as well and although she’s always delightful, that wasn’t a film that really worked for me and translated well from the book...

...I probably won’t get a chance to watch Death Becomes Her until tomorrow and that’ll be depending on how many Pointless responses I have to look at ...but I will get to it as soon as I’m able to...

[Ammi]

...oh yeah...

Spoiler:

...it was obvious that it was Benedict Cumberbatch/Mr Chocolate/hideous creep...

Death becomes her.
That is such a great movie!

[Niamh.]

Just about to start Atonement

[Niamh.]

Atonement

Spoiler:

Ugh that was heartbreaking how awful for Robbie and Cecilia but you kind of felt bad for Briony too, she was a child and was clearly very confused and thought she was right and had to live a life of guilt afterwards. I know it was that creep the chocolate guy too

Death Becomes Her

Spoiler:

Much needed light relief after watching a few pretty depressing films Actually we had just watched The Father before I put this on and that one is so depressing, very good but sad, (Ammi I think you will like this one it's got Anthony Hopkins in it and it's about Dementia)

Anyway back to Death Becomes Her It was what it was a bit stupid but hilarious and I love Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn

[Ammi]

.....yeah those were my thoughts that it would be a little lighter movie, they all just seemed to be having so much fun and it’s always gorgeous to see Meryl in lighter roles...I will try to get time to watch it later but I have some Pointless stuff to go through and I will watch The Father at some point...

...I actually got around to watching Death Becomes Her last night......I’m fine to carry on with it, the first round of Pointless was always going to be difficult but hopefully it’ll go more quickly as the rounds go on...(hopefully...)...but I probably won’t get much time to look at which movies are showing atm and if you have any suggestions or anyone else has...?....but whichever really...I’m fine to carry on and I’m fine to take a break...

[Niamh.]

Yeah, the opposite to an action hero Goldheart

[Ammi]

...the movie starts off being a bit annoying, like an awful episode of Jerry Springer...that they became enemies because he was weak etc....
