What film did you watch last night?

[Stovepipes]

Have you watched the TV show, The Leftovers yet?

I just managed to get through the pilot. The problem is that is from what I've heard, & I may be wrong, is that it's not really about the Rapture it's about the drama that happens after a Rapture like event which doesn't sound that interesting to me. I want to see the supernatural.

 

[Begbie]

I liked the ending.

Spoiler

Did he gouge his eyes out and stay with her or disappear off into life?

we get to choose.

Spoiler

Or pretended to cut his eyes out, it'd been my choice in those weird circumstances.

 

[Regy53]

The Matrix on Sky movies.

When it came out i was about 15 and never really understood it nor cared much for it.

Watching it today I thought it was rather epic!

St Vincent. A bit twee in parts, but at the end of the day it's 98 minutes of Bill Murray, how bad could it be.

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

Still good, still don't get the massive hype though. Its also hillarious to watch it with the criticisms people have flung at The Force Awakens fresh in my mind...

6/10

[Converge]

Amour - 9/10.

A difficult watch for me. Powerful film, but extremely saddening. Not one I will watch again, but it is an amazingly well acted film.

The Big Short

6/10

 

[Efour]

Circle 5/10

Sci-fi morality weirdness. Take it or leave it.

 

[V F]

Whiplash - intense drama about a selfish young drummer learning from an outrageously awful band leader. Was gripping and interesting while easy to distance yourself from as both characters were pretty nasty. Came together well though. 4/5

Shame the way how he treated/made his girlfriend feel.

The Matrix on Sky movies.

When it came out i was about 15 and never really understood it nor cared much for it.

Was good times back then for movies. I remember being so obsessed with the story. Scary thinking how it was 1999.

I watched The Revenant last night.

I thought it was excellent. The first and third acts were awesome, the second I found dragged a little. But jesus, the cinematography was incredible. Leo's performance was good, not sure if Oscar-worthy, I loved the very last shot. Tom Hardy was fantastic too.

I'm not one for bluray extras but I'd be very interested in a 'making of' if it were included.

 

[lokiss]

Children of men.

Seen it before, but to be honest in light of current events in the world, found it hard to shake that feeling of the undertones of the film.

A harder watch now, though recommended as a must.

 

[Cosimo]

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - enjoyable but never scaling the heights of delightful first one. 5.5/10

 

[Destination]

The Big Short
Enjoyable and interesting film 7/10

Went into this not knowing anything about it, so spent the first bit wondering if it was some kind of ruined world sci-fi thing lol.

Fantastic performances all round - especially from the kid.

The way it was filmed generally from the child's perspective was also very clever and very well done.

Though

Spoiler

I'm not sure what the hermaphrodite part had to do with anything, or where they were going with it.
I did spend the majority of the film thinking he was a girl and wondering why he was referred to as a boy called Jack until the doctor mentioned the plasticity thing.
Perhaps it's something that's given more time in the book.

Oh, and who's ever had a tooth gone bad that just comes out intact, root and all?

Yeah not as good as the first by a country mile...bit of a pointless follow up TBH...Charmless

 

[easyrider]

Bridge of Spies

Solid enough

7.5 /10

 

[Combat Fighter]

Spectre

Was hoping it would be better than I first thought.

Story was pretty weak.

6/10
