JeanW Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm in Australia and we're a b it behind the UK but I'm going to see Suffragettes next week and waiting for The Lady in the Van - based on the Allan Bennett play and with Maggie Smith. The last one I saw was mr Holmes with Ian McKenna which I enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf woolf Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I watched Eyes Without a Face, directed by Georges Franju. It's about a doctor whose daughter lost her face in an accident, so he and his nurse search through parisien students in order to find a proper replacement. It's a very disconcerting horror film.

shirley Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have been watching all the star wars films so that when I finally get to watch the latest one I might know what they are talking about. Just watched Cinderella 2015 which I love these types of films. I am half way through Night at the museum - Secret of the tomb, find them mildly amusing and wanted to watch Robin Williams again - brilliant man Kingsman - the Secret Service - still to watch The Theory of Everything - still to watch Can you tell I have been down loading films from sky movies over the holidays. Bought the trilogy of Hunger Games to watch before the last one is released. Got on DVD all of the Twilight films to watch I know I have watched some but not sure if I have seen all of them, although I have read the books.

woolf woolf Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I watched The Animatrix, it's nine shorts about the Matrix made by different people. I liked it, each short has its own story and animation style; recommended to those who liked The Matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I watched The Animatrix, it's nine shorts about the Matrix made by different people. I liked it, each short has its own story and animation style; recommended to those who liked The Matrix. Now that sounds interesting!! It was released just before The Matrix Reloaded and the first part (Final Flight of the Osiris) is a direct lead in to the film (the Osiris is name checked in the film). It's not a bad collection (certainly better than the last film, anyway!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I watched half hour of The Book Thief. I liked it so far but I wasn't in the mood to watch the sad events I knew were coming up so I will watch the rest maybe tonight. But the voice of Death grated on me as so totally wrong!!! You're right .. the voice of Death was so wrong! Other than that .. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The Danish Girl - A very good story with 2 great performances from Eddie Redmayne & Alicia Vikander. My 1 minor criticism would be that it is about half an hour too long. I also thought that the Redmayne character was pretty selfish, so much so, that I felt little sympathy towards his character and loads for Vikander's. Kajaki - A true story about a British paratrooper patrol who get caught in a minefield in Afghanistan. The first 15-20 minutes had me thinking 'oh dear, this looks ropey' but I decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did. It is extremely tense and I had a huge lump in my throat at the end.

woolf woolf Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I watched E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, directed by Steven Spielberg. I haven't seen it since my childhood, so there are things I perceived differently back then, such as thinking the government men were bad people making their utmost to harm the family. I didn't like the school part, it doesn't fit with the rest of the film. I think the team itself takes a jab at it when Elliot asks how does one explain school to a higher intelligence. It's a solid science fiction film, I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 ... how does one explain school to a higher intelligence. I always thought that was a dumb question even when I was a kid (it's where we go to learn). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_ann_1990 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The last film I saw was the new Jennifer Lawrence film called 'Joy'. I loved it! It's definitely worth a watch Very inspiring and thought provoking, while at the same time being interesting and entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind, directed by Steven Spielberg. I liked it, another good science fiction film. I watched that many, many years ago. I don't remember anything of it by now, but I liked it at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolf woolf Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 There's a film I watched as a kid but to this day I haven't been able to find it again. It's about a high school boy who meets a school girl working in a restaurant. I believe she tells him she likes the comic book he was reading, I'm not sure. Then there are aliens and ovnis. It's from the 80s, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I liked Inside Out, but to each their own. I watched If I Stay. I read the book a while ago (and its sequel). It was a good, emotional film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
