frankie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I've started watching more movies these days. I've now watched Love Happens and Then She Found Me. Both enjoyable. Now I'm starting to watch The First Wives Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I watched Family Stone. Great cast but stupid movie. Luke Wilson and Sarah Jessica Park and the characters they played saved it. Edited July 1, 2017 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like this when I first saw it (several years back) but a nugget must stayed in my memory and I think I might want to see it again . Maybe.

I think I expected there to be more dogs, going by the title I liked the cast very much, though! 20 hours ago, vodkafan said: I didn't like this when I first saw it (several years back) but a nugget must stayed in my memory and I think I might want to see it again . Maybe. Well it can't have been all that bad if a nugget stayed behind Just finished watching Love By Chance. It's a poor rip-off from Because I Said So. I can't believe they made such a similar movie! How boring. I want to watch Because I Said So again but it's not available on Netflix. I need to get my laptop fixed so I can start watching my own DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Really enjoyed this, a great ole romp with some great characters! Looking forward to the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Despicable M3 - loved it! Laughed consistently all the way through, and being a 40-*cough* year old, I loved the stuck in the 80s villain and soundtrack. I still think the second one is the best, but they've all been so good, you can't really find fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was terrible. The kids were bored and didn't laugh once. They were baffled by the Minions suddenly turning Spanish and didn't understand what they were saying. (Who's strange decision was that? It seems somehow insulting?) My exwife fell asleep. The whole trip out to the cinema cost £50 with the drink and popcorn, which is a lot when it's a mediocre experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the kids in the screening I saw were laughing and my colleague took his family last week and they loved it too. The minions didn't sound any more Spanish to me than in previous films, and the director who voices them is French and I'm sure I heard him say in interviews that their language is influenced by European languages so that it's meant to sound almost recognisable as real words while still being nonsense.

It's a magnificent film - went to see it again this morning, and it's just so rich, and I spotted so much more the second time around. I might even go again too, as it deserves a big screen.

Athena Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 A few days ago, we watched Kung Fu Panda 3. I liked it. It was perhaps not the best one or anything, but I enjoyed watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have a vast collection of DVDs to go through and a couple of days on my own so picked some that I thought would be easy watching, The Quartet Me Before You Letters to Juliette I don't know about easy watching I cried at the end of all of them. What a soppy date I am, but loved them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Clash of the Titans (2010) No where near as good as the original... Warcraft: The Beginning I was given the Blu-ray of this by someone who didn't enjoy it (doesn't like ambiguity in films, apparently). I was expecting this to be bobbins when it was first announced, and then delayed several times, but it actually hangs together pretty well. They did the right thing by focusing on the characters rather than on Warcraft lore or making it all about set-piece battles. A shame it didn't spawn any sequels, really...

Athena Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yesterday we saw The LEGO Batman Movie. I enjoyed it. I liked the first movie better (The LEGO Movie), but I liked this movie as well. It was enjoyable and funny . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 We watched The Secret Life of Pets. It was okay, I enjoyed watching it but it wasn't the best movie ever (not that I was expecting that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Despicable Me 3. Plenty of funny moments but not my favourite of the three. A bit short on minion action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I went to see Baby Driver again yesterday. It's becoming a bit of an obsession! Then, last night I watched The Prestige - a colleague loves Christopher Nolan films, but I haven't been that keen on the ones I've seen so far, so he told me to try this one. It was pretty good, but not really my sort of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Watched an Australian film called Charlie and Boots last night, which was absolutely lovely and nice to see Paul Hogan on screen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
