What have you been watching at the cinema? (Cont..)

[BookJumper]

Wow, that is a huge oversight. Stu was so very important in John's life! I'm shocked that they would leave him out.

That was my feeling precisely - George only appeared for about two seconds but that didn't bother me too much as he was Paul's friend back then; but to cover the art school period and not even mention, let alone show us Stu just seemed a bit odd.

 

Just remembered another (and in fact, the main) thing I didn't like - someone'd clearly read too much Freud, the Oedipal overtones in the relationship between John and his mum weren't so much overtones as shouted down a megaphone... .

 

Do let me know what you think of it when you get to see it.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meetballs, really entertaining.

I saw that on dvd and I totallly agree it's entertaining film;)

[scottishbookworm]

It's Complicated. I thought it was very good. Light and funny and very entertaining.

I've seen that too and I thought an entertaining light hearted comedy!

[Peacefield]

I saw 'A Serious Man' again over the weekend and found more parts to laugh at, surprisingly! Such a lovely film .

[MuggleMagic]

I saw the princess and the frog on Wednesday. Classic Disney absolutely loved it

[lexiepiper]

I'm going to watch Ponyo for my birthday in 2 weeks, looking forward to it!

I'm glad you got to see it, peacefield It seems absolutely ages since I saw it!

 

I saw it nominated in the Oscars, but then because A Single Man is also nominated, I kept getting the two mixed up as they look so similar when skim reading the screen, so was thinking to myself "I don't remember Colin Firth in it?"

I've been doing the same thing, Chesil! Plus whenever I tell people I went to see it they say 'Oh is that the movie with Colin Firth?' I hear he's up for an Oscar! LOL

 

I really enjoyed it though and am so glad I saw it .

Saw The Book of Eli today which was good, if a little slow starting.

 

Probably going to see Ponyo tomorrow.

[Dimitra]

Princess & the Frog, really really good.

[Inver]

I loved it too....one I would probably watch again...maybe it will be out for xmas dvd wishlist

[catwoman]

We took the kids to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The kids loved it.

[Lucybird]

Saw Ponyo Sunday. Was good, funny, it kind of reminded me of The Little Mermaid.

[Peacefield]

I saw Crazy Heart this afternoon and I loved it!! It's like Jeff Bridges was born for this role or something, and I'm so glad he won the Golden Globe for his performance. I'm crossing my fingers for him with the Oscar too. I'm not normally a country music person, but the style in this film was different. And who knew Bridges could sing?! Wow, just wow .

[Kreader]

I saw Precious. It was shocking and harrowing in places but there were times you could smile or even laugh. I can still hear the times the audience went ugh!

[Nollaig]

Finally went (read as; was obliged) to go see Avatar and didn't think much of it.

[Nicola Booth]

I know it sounds cheesy but I took my husband to see Valentines Day last week and the good news was he did not hate it.

 

I have to return the favour tomorrow night as we are hoping to see the wolfman. Have to admit though that I actually do want to see this movie too.

[Ophelia]

I was looking forward to seeing 'The Lovely Bones' but my friends who have already seen it said that, after reading the book, they were disappointed with the film.

[Kreader]

The Princess and the Frog

 

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

[Scarlette]

I saw Up In The Air, yesterday. My companion and I had more fun laughing at each other than at the film, though, so I suppose the film itself is a bit of a failure.

[BookJumper]

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.

Last two films I've seen at the cinema this year are 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Wolf man'

 

Sherlock Holmes being the better one imo, Robert Downey Jr was brilliant in it - a definite dvd purchase for me when it is released.

 

Wolf man made most people jump in the cinema, most of the jumps/scares were just too obvious for me but the one and only bit I actually jumped at, (I use the excuse I was getting tired as it was a late viewing ) no one else seemed to, twas a dog coming out from behind the table in the dark...ah well

[Janet]

DH and I went to see Up in the Air last week whilst we were away.

 

That's two hours of our lives we'll never get back!

May I ask what you didn't like about this film, Janet? It's doing pretty well over here and I hope to see it sometime this week .

Could I perhaps be so bold and offer my own opinion as well? I thought the film was rather boring and took forever to get to a point. Also, I didn't really get anything from it - it was just.. blank... and dull... I don't recommend seeing it.
