I love Father Ted, and couldn't see any similarity at all....however it's subjective and I do feel my preconceptions (I thought it would be like a dark version of Father Ted) ruined what is probably a decent film....it's almost as if I spent the whole film waiting for the punchline....and when it came, well you and I know it didn't really, at least not in a way I expected.
What film did you watch last night?

Yea, I can understand that
I guess we have all done similar many times. I suppose with this one we went in to it completely the other way around, just thinking it was a dark drama and was surprised (and entertained) by what we found to be the comedic elements in the film.The last thing I watched was John Wick, I would most definitely give it a good 8-9/10. Without giving too much away, there are some scenes of fighting and shoot ups which have some serious imagination and creation skills which have went into this to. I was impressed start to finish.
Leviathan.
A refreshingly down to earth film. It did seem to meander between what subject it was trying to tackle though. 7/10.

I couldn't help but imagine if this were an American film, Kolya would've persuaded his hunting pals to gear up and go for revenge against the mayor, with a big dramatic shootout and then the lawyer comes back at the last minute to sacrifice himself for redemption.
Don't worry, the way Hollywood likes to poorly remake good non American films, and have to dumb it down for the average American, I'm sure you'll be able to see that soon enough.
Saw Interstellar over the weekend, great idea if a little let down by the end. 6/10
Agreed on all points. I greatly enjoyed Pacific Rim. It's basically a cool manga done well in movie form. Transformers doesn't even deserve comparison!

Yup Agreed Guerrila
Poor story compared to the previous hunger games.
I fell asleep during it and had to watch it the following morning. nearly fell asleep again.
It's the cash cow everyone was fearing
Recommend waiting for 2nd film to go to rental then watch both.
Watched Hero 6 what a great Disney film. Set in Tokyocisco or is it Fanciskyo?
Son loved it I loved it wife had ipad in hand....

Let me start by saying I'm not really a skateboarding fan however this documentary is excellent, it takes you on the journey of two Aussie brothers whos rise and fall from stardom is as fascinating as it is utterly tragic!
Highly recommended
8.8/10

I really enjoyed Interstellar, but felt that it would have been a better ending if Cooper died instead of miraculously making it back to our solar system and then being found.
Hollywood need to break away from the predictable stuff sometimes! Not every ending is happy or feel good.

Sophie Marceau was so fine though. So was the Italian lady on the white boat.
I watched Birdman the other day. Expecting to enjoy it a lot based on the hype and recognition it has got.
I found myself admiring it more than enjoying it. I wonder if I'm not fully 'getting' everything I could be, but aside from a few moments and Ed Norton's performance I'm finding it hard to call it an enjoyable film.

Watched this last night.....bizarre film imo!!
The first scene with the baby really set the tone 
but it seemed to settle down a little after that!
The best thing was that all the way through the film I found myself thinking "yep, the world would be better off if these people were dead!"

An thought provoking 7/10 for me.
