geordie9 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 The Dead , excellent zombie film. Life Tracker, thoroughly enjoyed it. Quote
vodkafan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Stranger Than Fiction. Not a new film I know, but it has taken a long time for me to get around to it as I dislike Will Ferrell but actually he was OK and the film was very good. A few days ago I started watching a Brit film which was supposed to a comedy Cashback but only got about a third into it. It was painfully voyeuristic. Maybe if I had watched it all there would have been a point to it and it might have redeemed itself but I was not in the mood and rewatched Avatar instead Edited March 11, 2014 by vodkafan Quote
Raven Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I really enjoyed Gravity. Maybe it did help to see it on the big screen. I agree about the suspension of disbelief, but a lot of astronauts/experts apparently approved for the most part about technical details and whatnot. There were some glaring errors though, such as the shuttle/Hubble being as close as it was to the ISS (and that in turn being as close as it was to the Chinese station), George Clooney zipping around like the Rocketeer and the Chinese capsule righting itself during re-entry to name three off the top of my head. I know why these things have been done in the way they have, but if you know how things work in reality (both physically and operationally) some of the choices made for dramatic purposes are akin to having someone walk on water in a Earth based film. I've been wanting to see Another Earth since I saw a trailer for it before it came out. It certainly flew under the radar at the time - I thought I was the only one who had even heard of it. I'd say it's worth a look, just don't expect a happy film! Quote

Ruth Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Fantastic Mr Fox .. what a brilliant film I love what they did with Roald's story. Really off the wall but still staying true to the main plot. Very clever. Earlier on I saw The Ladykillers .. probably for the hundredth time .. love it though I love The Ladykillers, it's just such a funny film I saw the stage play of it last year - it was SO good! Quote
Athena Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Yesterday we watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince after I finished reading the book. Quote
geordie9 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 just watched a film called After The Dark (The Philosophers), i thought it was excellent. Quote
Athena Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Yesterday we watched Run, Fatboy, Run, which was very enjoyable to see again. I think Simon Pegg's a great actor. Quote
Timstar Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Watched Captain Phillips, quite enjoyed it, some great tense moments and brilliant acting. Quote

Athena Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I'm glad you enjoyed it! It comes out in a few weeks here, if I feel up for it I might go see it . Quote
Lucybird Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The Book Thief.. Loved it! Almost went to see that yesterday but decided I fancied something lighter so saw The Grand Budapest Hotel instead. It took a while to get used to the style but was very funny. Quote
geordie9 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 The Wolf Of Wall Street, absolutely brilliant film i thought, Scorsese back to his best. Quote

itsmeagain Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 L'histoire de Marie et julien, a hard to understand plot. Film is French, about a blackmail plot. Quote
