Athena Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 We've been rewatching the Harry Potter films, we've re-watched the first four in the past couple of weeks. I'm enjoying seeing them again. It really makes me want to re-read the books. Quote
vodkafan Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Rewatched Willow. Was good to see it again after many years but the whole film is a bit flat unfortunately story-wise. I did like that they used real dwarves and that they are real personalities and heroes and not figures of fun or to add colour. The queen's dogs are funny they look like Dennis The Menaces' dog Gnasher. Quote
Timstar Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The Land Before Time. Such a good film! More traumatic then I remember from my childhood though. Quote
More reading time required Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I mostly tend to see Toy story 1-3 on repeat these days, with the occasional variety of Bolt, monsters inc, lion king & various other disney's. We did manage to watch half of American sniper and part of Hunger games 3.1, in preparation for going to see part 3.2 next week. Quote
Inver Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Recently have been to see...Suffragette...very good. Brooklyn...lovely. Spectre 007...hubba ( ) Quote
Athena Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 Yesterday I watched De Griezelbus, the film based on the De Griezelbus book series. It was nice, though since it was a children's film it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. I preferred the book but it was nice to see the film. Quote
frankie Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I watched Something Borrowed the other night, and last night I watched The Police Academy. It was the first movie and I don't think I've really, really watched it in years and years, and so there was plenty of stuff that I didn't remember about. It was entertaining Quote
Kylie Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I watched two Hitchcock movies today: Shadow of a Doubt and Spellbound. Then I watched The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. All very entertaining. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 The temperature dropped yesterday and it really started to feel wintry, so I couldn't resist starting my Christmas film viewing and watched Christmas With The Kranks last night. Quote
bobblybear Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I recently watched The Dallas Buyers Club, which was very good, although I cringed at how thin Matthew McConaughey was. We also watched Monsters University. Not as good as Monsters Inc, but still watchable. Quote
frankie Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I recently watched The Dallas Buyers Club, which was very good, although I cringed at how thin Matthew McConaughey was. Him and Jared Leto, both! A very depressing movie But very very good. Quote
vodkafan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Watched Gettysburg again last night. Just felt in the mood to watch a man film. Quote
Anna Begins Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I recently watched The Dallas Buyers Club, which was very good, although I cringed at how thin Matthew McConaughey was. He lost 50 pounds for it Ate egg whites and chicken breast, drank diet coke. Quote
Athena Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Yesterday we re-watched the 6th Harry Potter film. Now only 2 to go! It's fun re-watching these films. It makes me want to re-read the books too, but it wasn't that long ago that I read them so I think I'll wait a bit longer really. Quote
More reading time required Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Went to see Hunger Games 3.2 this afternoon. It was a bit of a nightmare as we took Ellie & she got upset as soon as it started. She'd been fine the previous time we went to the cinema (at 2 weeks old) but this was a different cinema and I think the volume was much higher, so even the blanket around her head didn't stop her getting upset at the loud bits. I ended up watching the whole film from the entry corridor whilst sitting on the floor feeding her so that it was a) a bit quieter for her and b) I could make a quick escape out the door if she started off again so as not to disturb anyone else's viewing. I think I'll be sticking to 'newbies' cinema from now on! The film was pretty good though & stayed true to the book as far as I can remember. Quote
Athena Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Yesterday we re-watched the 7th Harry Potter film (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1). It was great to see it again. I was feeling quite tired after only 40 mins in, but we ended up watching the whole film anyway. I probably would have enjoyed it even more had I not been so tired, but it was still nice. Now up next is the last film, that should be good to re-watch. Quote
Athena Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 We finished watching all the Harry Potter films. It was great to see them again . I do quite like them. Quote
vodkafan Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Small Son and I were on our own last night so we watched Unleashed with Jet Li and Bob Hoskins. I had not seen it before and I enjoyed it. Quote
Raven Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Ant-Man Not as good as some other recent Marvel films, but not bad. Kind of reminded me of the first Iron Man film (plot wise). Looking forward to seeing how the character works with others in the next Captain America film. Quote
More reading time required Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 After trying to get my son to watch Big Hero 6 ever since he was bought it for his birthday back in June, as an alternative to the zillionth showing of one of the three Toy Story's, we finally convinced him & we all really enjoyed it. He actually sat through all the way through without being distracted! Quote
Athena Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 I loved Big Hero 6! Yesterday we watched Inside Out, which I enjoyed a lot, it was really good. A few things were predictable but other things weren't and overall I really enjoyed watching it. The film was funny sometimes too. Quote
Nollaig Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I watched a indie sci-fi film called Coherence. Great film in a similar vein to Primer, which is one of my favourites. Quote

I can't decide if I liked it better or Home better! Quote
Athena Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 I loved Inside Out... I can't decide if I liked it better or Home better! Oooh I can't decide that either! I love both. Quote
Kylie Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I saw Spectre at the movies last night. Typical over-the-top Bond. Quote
