Weave Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Awww, Michael Sheen! Lucian is one of the best characters ever .
Karsa Orlong Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Underworld (Michael Sheen is ace as Lucian) Agreed! Although, personally, I have a preference for Kate
Nollaig Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Over the last two days I've seen Black Swan and The King's Speech. Both fantastic films. I knew nothing about Black Swan going into it, and only discovered afterwards it was directed/musically composed by one of my favourite duos, Aronofsky and Mansell. As for The King's Speech, I'd heard the actual movie is very much second to Firth's performance - I respectfully disagree. I think both were of an excellent standard.
Peacefield Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I saw The King's Speech this afternoon and it was excellent! All around a great film and Colin Firth deserves all the praise in the world .
Weave Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Agreed! Although, personally, I have a preference for Kate Of course Karsa Whisper of the heart (Studio Ghibli)
ian Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Took my son to see Harry Potter and the deathly hallows -part one, thanks to a free ticket he won at school. Actually the first HP I've seen on the big screen. I wasn't looking forward to it too much, I didn't think half-blood prince was the best of the series so far, plus I didn't agree with splitting thre film into two parts. However, I was very pleased with it - followed the story quite closely. Ian
TheNinthWord Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I watched Inception for the first time on the plane on the way to America just before Christmas. I have seen other films since then (I'm sure I watched one on the flight back a few weeks ago, but I can't remember what it was for the life... wait. Avatar.) but that's the one that sticks in my head the most. Brilliant film (back on Inception). Even though I watched it on a screen no bigger than my face, the effects were amazing, and the complicated concept was very well produced. I know a lot of people pan Avatar for being a remake of Pocahontas/Dancing with Wolves, just with pretty effects, but I love it. It makes me cry when the Home Tree gets blown up . I want to be a Na'vi. I guess I'm in a rambling mood this evening.
Tristan Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 The Seven Year Itch. Old Hollywood at her finest.
Peacefield Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I'm watching Sherlock Holmes at the moment. I never saw it in the theatre and it's decidedly Ritchie-esque. Pretty good so far!
Amesy Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Watched Goodfellas the other night. A pretty good watch and Joe Pesci is outstanding, but not one of my favourites. I'm not into the gangster type films.
Kylie Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I just saw Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand. Now I'm watching the ending of the remake of Freaky Friday.

Tristan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 A Fish Called Wanda. Kevin Kline is simply hilarious in this one. Good times.
Punkafoo Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I know I'm a little old for it but I watched Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging on DVD the other day, It just makes me laugh all the time, as I was pretty much the same trying to fit in and getting a proper boyfriend etc and trying to find my way, even though I still am now.
Kylie Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming! Well, I watched the beginning and end. I couldn't be bothered watching the entire thing as it was quite long. I also watched the remake of The Parent Trap last night and caught the end of The Runaway Bride. I really would be better off spending my time watching some of the loads of unwatched DVDs I own, but I keep getting sucked into anything that's on TV.
Peacefield Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I saw The Fighter this afternoon and loved it. Christian Bale deserves every single award and recognition for his role as Dicky Ward. Pure amazingness .
Tristan Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Cinema Paradiso. Classic Italian film that is absolutely heartwrenching. Good stuff!
Weave Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I saw The Fighter this afternoon and loved it. Christian Bale deserves every single award and recognition for his role as Dicky Ward. Pure amazingness . The last film I saw was 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' (Studio Ghibli) ,it was fab!
ToniLianne Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Sweeny Todd watched round my dad's yesterday.
TheNinthWord Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 The Fellowship of the Ring My partner hadn't seen any of the Lord of the Rings films yet, so I've initiated him. He says he enjoyed it. I'm not so sure.
Cláudia Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I watched last weekend "Ondine". I hated, the summary of the movie is good, but you'll watch and the movie gets boring.
pontalba Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Finally got to watch the DVD of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. Loved it. Maybe the best of the lot.
