What film did you watch last night?

The American

Fantastic. Before watching the film I knew little about it nor had read any reviews or seen trailers.

Superb cinematography, the acting was great and the pacing kept me interested. Not Bourne but a great thriller although I'm on the fence with the ending.

I've read reviews criticising the film, they saw trailers showing some high-paced action spy adventure; a traditional Clooney-fest you could say. For that was not delivered said reviewers bashed the film left and right. Don't watch the trailers, they're terrible, misleading and advertise the film for what it's not.

It's slow, very dramatic and beautiful; Italy is a great country but it looks awesome here (HD does this film every favour possible).
Overall, I'm very satisfied. Its a very "arty" film but far more enjoyable than some people put out. Clearly too much of the crowd have grown used to high-speed Hollywood crap, this is slow-motion in comparison. But it works!

Watch.

8/10
 
Rambo (New one)

After being left disappointed by my copy of The Expendables not turning up early I turned this, some brutal action in this one - brilliant :D

8/10
 
Saw 'The Town' last night, must admit for a film I'd heard nothing about I was pleasantly surprised. Probably the best heist movie since Heat, very believable, solid 8/10 from me. Would recommend to anybody.
 
How is everyone seeing The Town? It's not out on Blu Ray yet and as far as I know it's not still on at the cinema :confused:
 
I genuinely don't see why people are giving Inception such high scores. I mean sure, visually it was impressive, but if you're just going for visuals i don't think it was revolutionary by any stretch of the imagination, give someone enough money and you can have every stunt and CG effect imaginable. But storyline wise the entire film is built on an excuse, it's like they wrote all the stunts and set pieces and then realised they forgotten to write in a reason for the characters to do any of that convoluted stuff in the first place. Can any of you even remember why? It was something to do with some company the Japanese guy was competing with or something, I really have no memory of it. And yes of course there are these sub plots with the main characters love interest and past etc, but at the end of the film I came out of the cinema still wondering why any of the last two hours was necessary.
 
The Road. Very bleak and quite harrowing at times. Really well shot. Viggo Mortensen was very good. The kid was generally good, but sometimes a bit weak.

Made me think of divorce or other family breakdowns, as it goes. Wife leaves/dies, man is left to struggle on with child in the face of adversity...
