Athena Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The Lego Movie By the smiley, I take it you liked it ? Anna, sorry I haven't seen any of them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If I can take a break from the wonderful book I am engaged in, tomorrow I might rent a movie on my Kindle. Not sure what yet, I'm deciding between Nebraska, Dallas Buyers Club, Winter's Bone or 12 Years a Slave (which I just finished reading). Any input? I thought Winter's Bone was an excellent book and film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timstar Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy, good fun, doesn't take itself seriously at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I watched half of Mirror Mirror but had to stop it was just too silly for words and even my kids were bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie9 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Decent action movie with lots of blood and splatter but all the way through as much as i love Arnie i couldnt help thinking hes just too old for action movies now. Funny parody of Conjuring, Paranormal Activity etc, had me laughing all the way through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (5/5) Ricci is chilling as Lizzie. Originally a made for TV movie, it just came out on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) I just looked up who Lizzie Borden was. Very interesting! I guess the film has her as being guilty..... Edited August 10, 2014 by Athena Added spoiler tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a spoiler She got off scott free and they never convicted anyone! Edited August 10, 2014 by Anna Begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 That would be a spoiler It's done . I haven't yet watched any film since I started on my medication. By the time it's evening my medication has stopped working and the evening is when we traditionally watched films. I have managed to watch at most two episodes of a half an hour TV show. But tonight we're going to try and watch a film, so hope it goes allright (we plan to watch The Lego Movie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen.d Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 'Dawn of the Planet of The Apes'- It started off well, but for me, it unravelled at the end. I might have to watch this a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've been wanting to see this since it came out- was it good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Life of Pi. Wonderful movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 The Lincoln Lawyer. I didn't catch it right from the start so when I put it on I didn't expect to get on with it but it grabbed me halfway through. Very good. I have to say Matthew McConaughey was very good, and I like seeing him in more serious movies. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timstar Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 You Can't Kill Stephen King - It started off well, mocking the usual horror clichés with lots of King references. But then it just seemed to become a typical horror cliché Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Begins Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I'm going to take the plunge and watch 12 Years a Slave. My friend is giving me tons of harassment, saying I can't watch Reservoir Dogs, but I'm going to watch 12 Years. The Lincoln Lawyer. I didn't catch it right from the start so when I put it on I didn't expect to get on with it but it grabbed me halfway through. Very good. I have to say Matthew McConaughey was very good, and I like seeing him in more serious movies. Well done! I don't think Matthew McConaughey gets enough credit. I really want to see Dallas Buyer's Club: McConaughey lost 47 pounds (21 kg) for the role, going from 183 pounds (83 kg) to 136 pounds (62 kg). He reportedly stayed indoors in his Texas mansion for six months to become paler and ceased socializing. When he reached as low as 143 lbs, his eyesight began to fail. He began to feel extremely weak to the point that he would be sore from doing five push-ups and his legs would lock up after running 30 feet. Jared Leto lost over 30 pounds (14 kg) for the role and confessed to having stopped eating to lose weight quicker; his lowest record weight was 114 pounds (52 kg). BTW- It's good to see you around again, Frankie Edited August 11, 2014 by Anna Begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie9 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 8/10. Such a shame watching this knowing what just happened to Robin Williams.He makes every role he played his own and there will be no one like him again, RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame watching this knowing what just happened to Robin Williams.He makes every role he played his own and there will be no one like him again, RIP I wanted to watch Dead Poets Society right after hearing. Tiburon, California, where he lived, is only a half hour away from me. And the house Mrs. Doubtfire was filmed. Both have become shrines. He lead the news- all of the news (didn't think a full hour was necessary, on every channel yet) last night. It's really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
