Janet Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Scarlette has hit the nail on the head for me - it was so slow and the laughs were very few and far between. A real let-down as I'd heard Steve Wright talking about it on the radio and thought it sounded like one of those laugh-out-loud type of films, but it was just dull. ETA: But we're all different and you might love it, so don't let me put you off. Edited February 22, 2010 by Janet Quote
Peacefield Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Janet and Scarlette! I like hearing other opinions and luckily it's at the cheap theatre here so if I don't like it it's not like I've wasted too much money on it. I was intrigued by it firstly because of the director Jason Reitman. He also directed Juno which was one of my favorites, but I'm not sure if this one will be as appealing. I think I mainly liked Juno because of the writing done by Diablo Cody, so we'll just have to see if Up in the Air is worthwhile too! Quote
Inver Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I went to see A Single Man with a friend on Saturday and it was MAGNIFICENT, so much so I'm already arranging to go see it again with another friend before the week is out. Sad, uplifting, beautiful, powerful, stunningly acted, sumptuously scored - and this is coming from someone who never understands or remembers instrumental soundtracks. If Colin Firth does not bag the Oscar for this, I'll be supremely angered at the injustice of it all, and declare the Awards rigged. Go see it yesterday, and bring hankies. Excellent.....it is on my to do list with lunchtime movie friends soon. Quote
Weave Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Ponyo (the latest Studio Ghibli movie), it was brilliant The animation, the colours, music, the whole scope of it was just amazing Quote
MuggleMagic Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I went to see The Lovely Bones last night. It is SO good and so sad Quote
SueK Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I finally got round to seeing Avatar (3D) last night. It was absolutely amazing. I have to admit I didn't fancy it much on seeing the trailer but I'm glad OH persuaded me to see it. We just loved it. I want to live there:lol: Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I went to see The Lovely Bones last night. It is SO good and so sad It is isn't it, I really enjoyed it, and thought it stuck pretty close to the story Quote
Tina Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I went to see The Lovely Bones last night. It is SO good and so sad I've been planning on going to see that one. I liked the book a lot, and - referring to lexiepiper's comment - it's nice to hear it sticks to the original story pretty well. The last film I saw at the cinema was David Lynch's Eraserhead. They are showing older films at my favourite cinema every Monday, such a nice idea. Quote
BookJumper Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I've just seen The Last Station it was brilliant, though I really could do with something jolly after having seen this and A Single Man in the space of a week! Quote
Kylie Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I saw Nowhere Boy yesterday at a lovely little country cinema, where the film was introduced by a lady and everything. I thought it was quite good, but it took a little while to really get going, I thought. I had to restrain myself from saying to my friend 'I've been there!' every time I recognised a Liverpool landmark. I had some trouble trying to work out how historically accurate parts of it were and I was disappointed by the lack of Stu (I'm glad you forewarned me though, Giulia!) I took along my ex, who is not much of a Beatles fan (for shame!) but he really enjoyed it too, which says a lot. Quote
Inver Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I went to see The Lovely Bones last night. It is SO good and so sad It is isn't it, I really enjoyed it, and thought it stuck pretty close to the story Hubby and I went to see it tonight. Was very well done, although I thought the fantasy bits were a bit much at times, but yes I thought it kept pretty well to the story. Quote
lexiepiper Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I saw Ponyo and I though Ponyo was soooo darn cute! I do think Spirited Away is still better though Quote
Inver Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 'A Single Man'... Colin Firth deserves every award he can get for this movie....was brilliant, well acted, beautifully filmed etc etc etc. If you get a chance go see it. Quote
rach.at.the.disco Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Alice In Wonderland in 3D. Definitely watch it in 3D if you can, it was awesome, we loved it. Quote
BookJumper Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Glad you enjoyed A Single Man as much as I did, Diane . Quote
poppyshake Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 'Alice in Wonderland' in 3-D .. stunning, Johnny and Helena in particular were fantastic. Quote
nicx27 Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 I was going to see Alice on Friday but it was too busy, so I went to see Leap Year instead, which was really funny and charming. I want to see A Single Man at some point. Quote
Peacefield Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Just got home a bit ago from seeing Remember Me, which opened here today. Honestly, this was a very good film, and I'm not just saying that because of you-know-who. For some reason I'm kind of surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, since I thought it was going to be strictly 2 hours of eye candy. Not the case though! Superbness . Quote

I am glad to hear you enjoyed it peacefield, I can't wait to see it, roll on April! I am going by myself, my sister refuses to see any movies that are not Taylor Lautner related (I suggested 'The Adventures of Lava Girl and Sharkboy' to her) and then laughed like a drain Quote
Peacefield Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 It's not out there until April?! Oh no! Well you'll love it, and it's your sister's loss! Quote
Weave Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 It's not out there until April?! Oh no! Well you'll love it, and it's your sister's loss! Indeed :lol:yip 2nd April 2010 Quote
Lucybird Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Saw Alice in Wonderland today. Was very good, made me laugh. Wasn't how I expected though, the story was very different it was more like a sequel and more actiony than I expected. Quote
Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 anyone seen the girl with the dragon tattoo yet? It came out in the UK yesterday Quote
pickle Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 They aren't showing it in my local cinema so don't know whether to make to effort to go and see it.. Quote
Book Nutter Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 The most recent movie I've seen is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif Quote
