Lucybird Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Definitely one I'm watching as soon as possible. I just finished watching The King's Speech and thought it was fantastic. The acting was simply wonderful, and I really enjoyed it. Anyone seen this yet? (: Yes I watched it yesterday and agree it was fantastic. Best film I've seen in quite a while.
Ben Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I hope you see True Grit soon, Ben! It was wonderful . I haven't seen The King's Speech yet, but I want to soon. Everyone I've spoken to who's seen it says it's excellent! Thanks I will watch it soon. As for The King's Speech, I'm with everyone else, was superb. Yes I watched it yesterday and agree it was fantastic. Best film I've seen in quite a while. Fantastic, isn't it? I thought the acting was wonderful. Edited January 23, 2011 by Ben

Raven Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Stardust An excellent film, I really should read the book sometime.
Janet Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 The King's Speech - an utterly, UTTERLY amazing film! Can't wait for the DVD!
Peacefield Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Now I'm even more excited to see the King's Speech!! Can't wait . I saw an advert earlier today about the Screen Actors Guild awards, talking about how many nomination this film has received. I didn't realize all the great actors in it aside from Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth! Guy Pearce, Derek Jacobi, Jennifer Ehle - wow.

Acting again with Colin Firth? Weird! I'd like to see this too (not just because of that connection though). I watched St Trinian's the other night, and at the end when the credits were rolling, they were showing each character along with their name. When they showed Colin Firth, he was walking along wearing a wet white shirt in a reproduction of that scene. Nice tribute. Edited January 24, 2011 by Kylie
Ben Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Oh yes. I especially liked Helena Bonham Carter- almost stole the show! She's just a fantastic actor all-round; I haven't seen her act badly in anything. Although saying that, I don't watch many films. The King's Speech - an utterly, UTTERLY amazing film! Can't wait for the DVD! Me too, probably be out before we know it nowadays.
poppy Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Stardust An excellent film, I really should read the book sometime. The book's delightful, I've got to see the film!!
lauraloves Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I watched The Book of Eli yesterday, didnt like it that much though!
Ben Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Watched The Shawshank Redemption for the first time last night - well, early hours of this morning - and I've been missing out; it's such a fantastic film. Edited January 24, 2011 by Ben
Amesy Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Watched The Shawshank Redemption for the first time last night - well, early hours of this morning - and I've been missing out; it's such a fantastic film. Easily the best film in the world.... ever!
Raven Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 ^ Somebody's obviously not seen Howard the Duck!
alison10 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Watched The A-Team last night, it wasn't bad.

BookJumper Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I saw Black Swan and The King's Speech at the cinny on Saturday; they were respectively good if disturbing and genius in its quintessential Britishness.
Cyra Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Resident Evil: Apocalypse. No where near as good as the others, the special effects were good but the storyline had nothing going for it at all.
Lucybird Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Saw 127 hours today, must admit I was bored most of the way through.
bookworm44 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Rushmore and Rudy. Watched The Shawshank Redemption for the first time last night - well, early hours of this morning - and I've been missing out; it's such a fantastic film. Ben, I felt the same after I got around to watching it last year.
Peacefield Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 What did you think of Rushmore, Bookworm? I love Wes Anderson, but I couldn't get as on board with that film as I did with Bottle Rocket (my all time fave). I still enjoyed it though. I saw True Grit again this afternoon and I felt good about not crying as hard as I did the first time I saw it . I'm determined to get the soundtrack now - I paid a lot more attention that this time and Carter Burwell truly outdid himself. I'm seeing The King's Speech tomorrow .

Enjoy hen I have the Johnny Cash song from 'True Grit', I know I am very biased when it comes to Johnny Cash but 'God's gonna cut you down' is epic!

Love Johnny Cash! Amazon has the mp3 of the soundtrack for only 7.99 so I may need to get it this weekend.
Peacefield Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Underworld (Michael Sheen is ace as Lucian) Awww, Michael Sheen! Lucian is one of the best characters ever .
