What film did you watch last night?
- Thread starter Richeh
- Start date
Corrected the scores for you
Alien will always be No.1 for me... but ETTO. Aliens was a bloody good follow-up [one of the best sequels ever].... I really like 3 as well, as it was so very different and had a great atmosphere... no fear or tension though... 4= MEH.

I noticed that Blade Runner was on TV again the other day - tried to avoid it but ended up watching.
That then forced me to replay the PC game version again followed by another rewatch of the film on Iplayer, all this with 7 dvd box set on the shelf. Everytime I buy a coat it subconciously ends up being one that looks like Deckards
It is, still the best film I have ever seen. It was the first DVD (about 2000?) I ever watched and ive been obsessive about it ever since
Last year I went to LA, and managed to get a quick look inside the Bradbury building - I get goosebumps even thinking about it now.
The future world Ridley scott created is recognisable (Globalisation, Immigration) but still retro futurist (Flying cars, clunky computers and no mobile phones) and it is so detailed and looks amazing on screen even with CGI rubbish now
I just love the absolute depth of the film - just the right amount of gaps for ideas and thought to get through leaves a million explanations for even the smallest ambiguity - Is he a replicant? is he a replicant replacement for an old Gaff? Is Deckard the villan and Roy the hero? How is existing even a crime?
The plot points are so balanced I cant decide an outcome of any part of the film which makes me keep rewatching it to try and decide - For some reason I want Deckard happy ending but then does he deserve it ? killing two unarmed women who did nothing wrong but exist? I want Roy to live but then he does "terrible things" it makes you feel like you are an apologist either way
Think ill get the bluray version too - maybe that will help

Cloud Atlas - 9/10
I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to watch this film. It was recommened to me by a guy at work, with nothing more than 'it's absolutely ace, watch it.'
I really really enjoyed it. I was surprised at the cast, I thought Hanks was brilliant (as always IMO) I really enjoyed the storyline and how it all linked together in one way throughout the ages. Overall I would highly recommend it.
I haven't read the book yet, but I have ordered it so will see how they compare!

Before I Go To Sleep - 7/10
Really enjoyed this. It started a little bit slow, in a similar way to Edge of Tomorrow, having to set out the rules and establish the base plot, but once the story starts going its really gripping, especially towards the last third. Haven't read the book, so not sure how it compares, but the film was decent.
Colin Firth how you've never seen him before though.

Although Alien 3 was not accepted properly and is one of the weakest in the series of Alien films, I though Fincher's vision and dark dystopian feel to the film was spot on. The directors cut is the best version.
Alien & Aliens though are pure classic.
anticonscience did you watch 7 Psychopaths? and give it 8/10?
Did you think "Great dark comedy crime caper. Thought it was great"
Huh? You'll have to explain the humour to me.
I often give films a go if I see them on here, and I enjoyed this one a bit, it has it flaws but it was interesting. I've watched many low budget movies like this and on reading the IMDB forums for this one, found a film called Triangle.

Similar in nature, but with as good if not better.
You should try it.

Pretty much this.
Retarded, lecherous fun. Don't think too much and just go with it.
Surprising amount of swearing I thought.
This and the Matrix are my favourite films, maybe.
The scene where they're all getting ready for the battle, and Tom appears from the house with that red armour.... ahh probably my favourite scene ever for some reason
Saw this a few weeks ago, thought it was really good actually. And Mads is brilliant.
Finally saw The Worlds End.
I want to see:
Wolf of Wall Street
Edge of Tomorrow
And Blade runner after reading some posts
Don't really know what I thought of it tbh. Love Nick and Simon, thought Simon did a good job, but Nick's character rather bland.
Some bits I thought were brilliant, like the entrance to the second pub, and those subtle jokes. But can't help but think the film was a bit... crap?
The 'robots' were such an awful boring plot, would have honestly preferred it if it was just about the golden mile.
I guess 4/10, but I'm glad I watched for the few funny bits.
