What film did you watch last night?

Less suitable probably.

Chilled monkey brains etc in the banquet, brain washed people, people being lowered into fire, torture & child slavery.

Nicely summed up thanks, I could remember the monkey brains and lots of insects. Oh and the heart being ripped out. Will give it a miss for a few years!
 
Blade Runner

I guess I'm rather late to the party, especially as I wasn't born till 5 years after it came out. I wasn't massively impressed as there seems to be some high opinions of the film but I can imagine it was a spectacular film way ahead of it's time.

7/10
 
Watched Expendables the other night. Action and effects were great but I thought it lacked a decent story and they could have used actors like Bruce and arnie for more than like 10 seconds. :o

6/10. :(

Same, 3/10.

Action scenes were cool, anything not an action scene was shocking. Pointless shoe horning in of characters, plots that were totally irrelevant, scenes that went on for 5 times longer than they should have and felt like they weren't even scripted.

It was a bad film.
 
Stuck Snatch on in the background as it was on one of Sky's movie channels last night

Legendary film, Ritchies best IMO

9/10

I found the whole premise of going 3 dreams 'deep' to plant an idea uninteresting and unbelievable I guess. It's also full of small plot inconsistencies which annoy me;

Saito just takes it for granted they succesfully planted the idea? he was unconcious/dead when Fischer got the new will.
And why was Saito so bloody old.
And if they could just kill themselves at the limbo level to wake up why not do that instead of all the over elaborate kick things

i think saito said, he would honour the agreement regardless, somewhere in the film, when they start heading into trouble, or after he gets shot.

saito was so old because thats how it works, i cant remember the specific timing so i made this up to show:

1st level - 1 second in real world = 3 minutes
2nd level - 1 second in real world = 3 hours
3rd level - 1 second in real world = 3 days
saito's level (limbo) - 1 second in real world = 3 years

saito was the first to go into the limbo level, therefore for every second the people stayed on level 3, he aged 3 years in limbo because thats how long he spent in there.

di caprio managed to wake himself and his wife up the first time they were in limbo by killing themselves, but they had spent like 70 years in limbo (they grew old together). you cannot wake up from a dream when you are under sedation.

think about it in real life, if a doctor sedates you for an operation, you are put to sleep. no matter what happens you will not wake up until the sedative has wore off. therefore they must still be sedated in the limbo level and the air hostess on the plane must have to give them something at a specific time (1 second before the "jump") in order to un-sedate them or its a timed sedative which wears off at that time.

therefore they cannot kill themselves until they know for sure the sedative has woren off. they know it hasn't because saito goes into limbo instead of waking up.

any more questions?

I remember watching it on Film4 a few years back, but never seen the whole thing.

Watched it again last night and words cannot begin to describe how NASTY the twist it!

8/10 :D
 
The score Robert De Niro,Edward Norton and Marlon Brando(last film appearance). Heist movie with a slightly different slant to the typical bank job scenario.Norton and De Niro seemed to have good chemistry,Brando dominates every scene he's in.

A couple of PC gaming scenes too which will be of interest to many on here,not sure what the game was,it was an old school fps though.

Reasonable twist at the end too. Watched on blu ray,good pic and sound quality. Maybe a slightly softer image than others i've seen but still very nice.
 
Last night we watched Danny Boyle's new movie 127 hours - thought it was quite good though I admit his style is very much down to personal preference. I liked the way he reverted back to "playing in his mind" the snippets of his childhood :)

Earlier on tonight we watched the new Dream Works animated movie Megamind which I also thought was pretty good with quite a few laughs and some stunning animation its well worth a watch ;)
 
Constantine - not seen it before and it came on last night.

Not sure what to think of it really, could have been so much more than it was though.

Sherlock Holmes 8/10

I loved it and it kept me gripped all the way through. I fine most films with Robert Downey Jr in them good to watch and this was no exception. Thought the art direction was fantastic as well.
