Karsa Orlong Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Channel hopping the other night and found that Aliens was on. Naturally, despite owning it already, I sat and watched it for about the kazillionth time. Never get tired of that film Quote
Athena Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Yesterday we watched Ender's Game, which was quite good, I liked it. Quote
Michelle Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 Channel hopping the other night and found that Aliens was on. Naturally, despite owning it already, I sat and watched it for about the kazillionth time. Never get tired of that film I've done that a lot - it's so much more tempting when it comes on, rather than having to dig out the DVD and go to all the effort of putting it on! Yesterday we watched Ender's Game, which was quite good, I liked it. I'm interested to see what they've done with this film. Quote
poppyshake Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The Book Thief...loved it It's funny isn't it? Most of us really liked it (all of us I think) but the critics have mauled it. I read a review last week that said it was 'a real stinker!' A too sanatised view of nazi Germany apparently?!? .. I think they're missing the point of the story. Quote
geordie9 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Lone Survivor, true story, he was lucky to get out of there alive, good film Quote
Kylie Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 It's funny isn't it? Most of us really liked it (all of us I think) but the critics have mauled it. I read a review last week that said it was 'a real stinker!' A too sanatised view of nazi Germany apparently?!? .. I think they're missing the point of the story. Really? That's a shame. As you said, they've clearly missed the point. Perhaps they should have read the book first. Quote
poppyshake Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Really? That's a shame. As you said, they've clearly missed the point. Perhaps they should have read the book first. Diane enjoyed it without having read the book but, I agree, you can bring so much more to it yourself if you've read the story. Alan liked the film but is loving the book and keeps saying 'they should've put that bit in' Difficult though .. to whittle it down without losing the essence of the story. Anyway .. we the readers are the important ones to please and I think they did that. Who cares about film critics? Quote
vodkafan Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The Grand Budapest Hotel got middling-to-bad reviews too but viewers love it based on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings.....I would watch that film again anytime it's one for the home collection...so I say this to the critics Quote

Lucybird Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Hitchcock. Funnier than I expected. I would recommend it. Quote

geordie9 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Just watched American Hustle, i found it a big let down and didnt really keep me interested through it Quote

geordie9 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Come And See (Idi I Smotri) , russian film about world war 2, more of a propaganda film. Quote
vodkafan Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Come And See (Idi I Smotri) , russian film about world war 2, more of a propaganda film. Very hard to watch that film. The horror of it. Surprised you found it a propaganda film though. It's very anti-war. I find films like Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers to be just pure propaganda. Quote

I find films like Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers to be just pure propaganda. I just thought it didnt show the bad things the russians done in the war so made me think it was propaganda Quote
Anna Begins Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Just back from seeing Divergent. Not sure what I think yet. One person I went with liked it a lot, one just liked it. Quote
Talisman Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I am not sure when it opens here - I have seen the trailer though. The last film I saw was Catching Fire, which has just come out on DVD. Quote
vodkafan Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Just back from seeing Divergent. Not sure what I think yet. One person I went with liked it a lot, one just liked it. Reviews and audience reaction is a bit mixed, I fear Quote
