karen.d Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I saw 'The Danish Girl' this afternoon. It's a really interesting film and superbly acted. Quote
chaliepud Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Captain America: Civil War, very good, a bit long but I think I have a new favourite Avenger, Vision! Quote
chesilbeach Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 We watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens again on Saturday night, and then all the extras on the blu-ray on Sunday evening! I loved all the extras, but most were around 10 minutes long (e.g. one on the score, one on creating the alien creatures, one on creating BB-8) and I'd have happily sat and watched an hour on each of the subjects.

chaliepud Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Cake, with Jennifer Aniston. I was surprised to see her in an indie film, and even more surprised to see her in a non glam role. I actually thought it was very good. Quote
Kylie Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I finally got to watch Deadpool last night. Excellent movie. Lots of great jokes, and I loved the 4th wall nod to Ferris Bueller at the end. I also watched about half of The Grand Budapest Hotel before falling asleep (not the movie's fault—I've seen it before and loved it). So I'll have to finish that one today. Quote
Nollaig Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Frozen! Sunday night my friend and I were full of wine and thought it would be fun to watch it and sing all the songs. So we did, and it was. Quote
Kylie Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I re-watched Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry this afternoon. Quote
vodkafan Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Once Upon A Time In The West. I liked the story but didn't like the bad guy Henry Fonda, closely followed by not liking the good guy Charles Bronson either, who was almost as wooden and lifeless as Fonda. Fonda got a bit less rigid as the film went on but I felt let down by both their performances. Claudia Cardinale and Jason Robards were both excellent though. This was supposed to be Sergio Leone's masterpiece. The film was a bit of a fantasy, but took itself too seriously: for me it doesn't come up to the level of The Good The Bad And The Ugly. Quote
Anna Begins Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Still Alice. Well deserved Oscar for Moore. Excellent performance, I especially liked Kristen Stewart. Kate Bosworth skinny as ever. Quote
frankie Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 He has two! So yes, he must be a good guy for sure! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=matthew+mcconaughey+cattle+dog&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#imgrc=aqQUPKfjgsxatM%3A Two? He's twice the awesome guy I thought he was I saw 'The Danish Girl' this afternoon. It's a really interesting film and superbly acted. Do you think you will read the book? Cake, with Jennifer Aniston. I was surprised to see her in an indie film, and even more surprised to see her in a non glam role. I actually thought it was very good. Wow, I never figured her to be an indie film actress. Cool I've not watched any movies since my last post on here... This will change in the next few days as I will 'have' to go and watch a movie as I have a free ticket Quote
vodkafan Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Wow, I never figured her to be an indie film actress. Cool Actors/actresses make indie films when their careers are on the way up or when they are on the way down. Quote
Chrissy Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I saw Avengers - Age Of Ultron yesterday. Good fun, although I get that I have missed some bits of the ongoing Marvel story by not having seen the Captain America, Thor & Iron Man films. I'll get to them eventually. Quote
vodkafan Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I saw The Homesman a different kind of western with Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Sfiddle. It was very poignant and sad. Edit: Lol the automatic naughty word correction has changed the actress's name. It is not Hilary Sfiddle but Hilary S-W-A-N-K. Edited May 17, 2016 by vodkafan Quote
vodkafan Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I trudged through Meek's Cutoff. I was unsatisfied by the highly ambiguous ending , but going by reviews I see that everybody is. I suspect I will trade this one in, not because it is not a good film in some ways, but because it is one of those films that now I have seen it I will always know the ending and there is never a need to watch it again.

woolf woolf Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I went to the cinema and watched Song of the Sea, directed by Tomm Moore. The simple adventure brought together a beautiful animation with interesting folktales and surprisingly nuanced characters for a children's film. I liked it quite a bit, and the singer had a nice voice. Quote

woolf woolf Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Must check this one out thanks! It's not in the cinemas anymore, just here in Portugal. In the United Kingdom it came out one or two years ago; but you must find it as a dvd/blu-ray or in a streaming service. Edited May 21, 2016 by woolf woolf Quote

Anna Begins Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 You totally should! I like Jim Carrey in serious roles, I loved Man on the Moon. He should have won an Oscar for it. Quote
frankie Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I like Jim Carrey in serious roles, I loved Man on the Moon. He should have won an Oscar for it. That one I've not seen. But I like Jim Carrey in pretty much anything Quote
