Coffin Nail Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 The Righteous Kill. De Niro and Pacino. What's not to love??
chesilbeach Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Went to see Mary & Max tonight - totally brilliant.
Roland Butter Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Secrets and Lies That was an excellent film, Paula. Mike Leigh's new one, Another Year, comes out tomorrow, and I'm planning to see it at the weekend.
poppyshake Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Just rewatched The Land Before Time One of my favourite animated films. I love Don Bluth's movies. So do I , especially 'Land before Time', 'Secret of NIMH and 'An American Tail' ... gorgeous animation at at a time when Disney had lost a bit of their sparkle, I like 'All Dogs go to Heaven' too ... despite the terrible songs (or perhaps because of them )
Amesy Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 G.I.Joe: Rise of the Cobra. Completely mindless entertainment. Lots of explosions, lots of fighting, and Sienna Miller. Good stuff!
Peacefield Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 That was an excellent film, Paula. Mike Leigh's new one, Another Year, comes out tomorrow, and I'm planning to see it at the weekend. Love Mike Leigh, Roland. I think Secrets & Lies is my fave of his, but I also loved Topsy Turvy and Happy-Go-Lucky. You'll have to let us know how Another Year is. It looks like it doesn't come out here until New Years Eve. Last night after watching 4 Bones eps I started watching 'Stranger Than Fiction,' but unfortunately fell asleep. Good think I've seen it a couple dozen times already!
pickle Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Secrets and Lies That is a truly excellent film the scene where she offers to get the dutch cap she has in attic is priceless. I love Mike Leigh films Life is Sweet is one of my favourites
Roland Butter Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Love Mike Leigh, Roland. I think Secrets & Lies is my fave of his, but I also loved Topsy Turvy and Happy-Go-Lucky. You'll have to let us know how Another Year is. It looks like it doesn't come out here until New Years Eve. If you ever come to London, you and I will have to sit down over a cup of coffee and you can explain to me how someone whose tastes mirror mine so closely can come to have such bizarre political leanings That is a truly excellent film the scene where she offers to get the dutch cap she has in attic is priceless. I love Mike Leigh films Life is Sweet is one of my favourites Have a little sandwich for your birthday, pickle! That's a great one, too - Tim Spall as Aubrey the chef is brilliant! John Salthouse, the actor who played Tony in the legendary Abigail's Party, was at school with my older sister.

Peacefield Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 If you ever come to London, you and I will have to sit down over a cup of coffee and you can explain to me how someone whose tastes mirror mine so closely can come to have such bizarre political leanings You'll be the first person I look up in London, Roland, believe me! We'll have a nice debate on politics and then move on to more pleasant topics like film and musicals I'll try to explain the mystery of how someone like me, with good taste in both these topics can also be a good Capitalist .
Mexicola Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Another Mike Leigh fan over here! *waves* I love Secrets and Lies especially. My local cinema isn't showing Another Year (surprise surprise) so I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD. Peace, Four Lions is a satire about terrorism. It's made by Chris Morris, the guy who did Brass Eye.
Karsa Orlong Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Prince of Persia. Utter tosh but Gemma Arterton's alright
TheNinthWord Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 District Nine. It was different to what I expected, but I really enjoyed it.
lauraloves Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I'm watching Bridget Jones the Edge of Reason at the moment
Karsa Orlong Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 District Nine. It was different to what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. I loved that film Last night I watched the 'working cut' of Alien3, which is supposedly closer to David Fincher's original vision for the film than the one the studio ultimately released. And, indeed, it was much, much better.
Miss Blaine Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 I loved that film Last night I watched the 'working cut' of Alien3, which is supposedly closer to David Fincher's original vision for the film than the one the studio ultimately released. And, indeed, it was much, much better. Oooooh, that sounds interesting; I love those movies. Where would I find this?
TheNinthWord Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) The Witches was on Channel 5 this afternoon when I got back from work. I only saw the last half, but it brought back the memories. I used to love it when I was younger. Watching it a few years later and I'm amazed how they made eating soup such a dramatic thing. Anjelica Huston is amazing. Edit: Typos. I should sleep really. Edited November 7, 2010 by TheNinthWord
Peacefield Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 We watched Snatch tonight, one of my faves! I had forgotten about all the great dialogue and characters . I'm still very 'awww' though about how Frankie Four Fingers and Bullet Tooth Tony ended up.
Roland Butter Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 My auntie is in this Tell us more, Lucy.

It was originally included in the Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set, and now in the blu-ray Anthology box set, and you can get it separately as well: Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set Alien Anthology Blu-Ray box set Alien3 Director's Cut
Kylie Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 The Witches was on Channel 5 this afternoon when I got back from work. I only saw the last half, but it brought back the memories. I used to love it when I was younger. I had to leave the movie theatre when I was young because it was too scary for me (when the witches removed their wigs and revealed their true selves).
Lucybird Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Tell us more, Lucy. Her name is Annie Hayes. She was a pretty minor character, she had lines but no name. She was more in plays than TV
Roland Butter Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Sorry, Lucy, I missed that somehow. That's a pretty good cv - you should be proud of your aunt. As someone who never got beyond "Second Tree" in the school play in primary school, I always have immense respect for anyone who makes a career out of acting.
mummymunt Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Last thing I saw at the movies was Paranormal Activity 2. Last one on DVD was The A-Team, I think. Oh, no, I watched the second Transformers movie this afternoon. I have Pan's Labyrinth here, I just have to remember to watch it.
