Madeleine Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 We were talking about Hail Caesar at work today, someone said there are lots of "in" jokes referring to the movie industry, and if you're not into the industry big time, or familiar with the period that it's set in, then a lot of it might go over people's heads, and that it's trying to be too clever. I must admit the only Coen film I've liked has been Fargo, I've tried to watch some of their others and have barely lasted longer than about 30 mins, thankfully on either DVD or TV so I didn't waste money on a ticket.

bobblybear Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Django Unchained. It was ok, but the violence was a bit over the top. Just watched 2012 on Netflix. What an appallingly bad movie! Quote
Athena Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Yesterday we watched The Other Woman which was enjoyable. Not the best movie ever or anything, but it was enjoyable . Quote
Anna Begins Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Django Unchained. It was ok, but the violence was a bit over the top. Ya but it was a Tarantino... it's always over the top Quote
More reading time required Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Hail Caesar - I did something I've never done before, I walked out of a movie. Reading reviews afterwards it would seem that die hard Coen fans love this and others really hate it, I fall into the later group.I saw this the other day at Odeon Newbies (parent & baby screenings) with some baby group friends. There were good bits in it but it was confusing overall & seemed very bitty - mind you, the noise of other babies & the distraction of tending to my own probably didn't help. I think I'd need to see it again to form a proper opinion. Quote
Athena Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 Yesterday we saw The Maze Runner. It was a pretty suspenseful film, though I knew what was going to happen because I've read the books. I liked it. Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 We finished off our re-watch of the original Star Wars trilogy last night with Return of the Jedi. Quote
Athena Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Yesterday we watched The Scorch Trials, which was nice. I think it differed from the book in a few places but I don't quite remember the book (book 2) as clearly as I remember book 1 for some reason. I enjoyed the film anyway. Quote
vodkafan Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Into The Woods. Didn't really hold my attention. Some of the actors/actresses I don't really like and the ones I do were sort of wasted in roles I couldn't believe in. Quote
chaliepud Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 San Andreas - I don't think it was billed as a comedy but we did laugh, a lot, it may well be the most unbelievable film I have ever watched. We did enjoy it, just maybe not for the right reasons! Quote

We did enjoy it, just maybe not for the right reasons! We watched it last night too, and had exactly the same reaction as you! We laughed all the way through but it was great entertainment and I'd be happy to watch it again ... there's a sequel in the works apparently. Quote

Athena Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Yesterday we watched Paper Towns. I haven't read the book yet (shame on me) but I liked the film . Quote
Nollaig Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Into The Woods. Didn't really hold my attention. Some of the actors/actresses I don't really like and the ones I do were sort of wasted in roles I couldn't believe in. That film was utterly bizzare and way too drawn out. Yesterday we watched Paper Towns. I haven't read the book yet (shame on me) but I liked the film . Glad you liked the film, although in my opinion it in no way does the book justice. It changes a few key scenes which to me completely undermined the story. Quote
Athena Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Glad you liked the film, although in my opinion it in no way does the book justice. It changes a few key scenes which to me completely undermined the story. I look forward to finding out what those are, then . Quote
vodkafan Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Dean Spanley. This wasn't what I expected at all , I thought it would be a "Freaky Friday" type body swap film but it was totally different and much better. Quote
woolf woolf Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Yesterday I watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens with my cousin and an uncle. It's a nice film, I almost didn't recognise C-3PO because of the red arm. Quote
Cryogenic Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Gods Of Egypt. I didn't expect that this film will be so impressive! I'm so glad that I had an opportunity to watch it the cinema Quote
shirley Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I have watched this week Grace of Monaco and The Theory of Everything. Quote
DauntlessTribute Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Allegiant! I'm a big fan of the Divergent series and the movie didn't disappoint me. Though I could've wished to see more of Uriah... Quote
chaliepud Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Just back from watching Eddie the Eagle with my youngest.. We loved it! Totally inspiring and soooo feel good, not to mention some great 80's music!! :) Quote
LankaDivore Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) We recently watched "Fack ju Göthe 2" (Yeah I know it's not spelled correctly ) I thought it was really great. So funny if you like these kind of movies. Btw: is the film also well-known in the English speaking world? In Germany it's currently one of the most famous films.

Athena Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 Allegiant! I'm a big fan of the Divergent series and the movie didn't disappoint me. Though I could've wished to see more of Uriah... I wonder what will happen in the 4th film. I haven't seen the third film yet, myself (I'm not so fond of the cinema). Quote
vodkafan Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Open Range. I had heard the gunfight scene was good and it didn't disappoint! Quote
