Just gonna start this thread cos im a regular film goer and i hate wasting money seeing crap films, So its a kinda Yea or Nah thread So anyway i was in the cinema last night went to see this film called Stardust, which was suprisingly very good http://imdb.com/title/tt0486655/ Film tip from me is Stardust - its a yea
Went to Stardust myself with my better half yesterday. Found it surprisingly good too. Want to go see it again in fact. Looking forward to American Gangster too.
Cinema Never go to Cinema, get all the Movies before they are out in WWW.Thaidvd.biz, Watched Transformers and Pirates of the Carribean this week on DVD.
Have to admit don't go to the cinema much at all these days while used to be a regular especially when Virgin cinemas had their one month passes for 15 quid and I live in Smithfield. The last few years its been mostly to bring my daughter except for Lord of the Rings / Star Wars epics the kinda films you "have" to see on the big screen. Got out of going to the flixs on spec, turning up at random times without even checking whats on, because just so many films were turkeys and I genuinely wondered how they were ever made they're so bad. Celebrity seems to be all that matters in a lot of them. I don't mind a lighthearted yanky action or rom-com if it pops up on RTE at half 9 on a Wednesday but fcuked if I'm going to head out and pay to see such shallow sh1te. Honestly the kids films I end up seeing are more gauranteed entertainment than most genres. Finding Nemo for instance was a good film full stop, honestly. Of course Shrek defined that middle ground for most. Anyway is this Stardust any good for family viewing ? I just know it from the Take That song and clips on Jonathon Ross's show since his missus wrote it I think and from when Gervais was on. Was meant to go to see Atonement as looked interesting with the Dunkirk scene but never got around to it. Just not in the habit these days. Deffo home entertainment has taken over for a hell of alot of people and most of it dodgily sourced.
Bounre Supremcy was excellent although that was a while back. I am defo going to see American Gangster(out tomorrow) next week, Denzel Washington is always good and its got good reviews.
to be honest i didn't think much of American Gangster while it was a good film i thought it was going to be a lot better, maybe i was looking forward to it too much .I watched a film called P2 last night that was very good after a slow start (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804516/) Death at a Funeral is not bad for a few laughs .. Also Good luck chuck is also a funny film with some fine women in it especially the finest of all Jessica Alba…. worth a watch just for her alone...Ratatouille will keep the kids entertained but you’ll probably enjoy a lot of it yourself.
Sounds on the money. Yeah thats exactly what I'd define family entertainment i.e. you can enjoy it as much as the young one as opposed to just a kiddies film (Garfield and it's ilk). I think commercially there's a big cop on that there is no point in making a kiddies only film though and truncating your market. I know adults that would watch Rug Rats without using kids (erm aka rug rats) as an excuse
I saw the Bourne Supremacy on telly the other night, good film, moved really quickly. What's the third one like?
Depents what you want.... Comedy, Probably good luck chuck....Liked beowulf too, but a really good film that id recommened to most would be Eastern Promise, Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortteson...Somenthing for everybody, Lots of drama, bit of a russian mafia backdrop, all round enjoyable movie.......
Best of them all... its even more fast paced, you can't take you eye of it for a second.... Saw Transformsers on Friday, and was pleastantly suprised, its really good. Special Effects bloody unreal. Also saw Die Hard 4 last week, excellent aswell although some fairly unbelievable stuff. Going to see American Gangster tomorrow
Went to see American Gangster last night, great film, it did not have as much action as I thought but its still fairly intense.
Bourne Ultimatem is one of the best action movies ive seen in a long time...Its totally unreal. It has everything and theres a scene in the train station which just blew my mind, i really enjoyed that part. People are comparing the bournes with the bonds now....says something..
Regarding Bourne when I saw Casino Royale I left it thinking Id seen an average Bourne movie, with a few over the top stunt pieces. Bourne is the reason Bond went back to basics. The scene in Supremacy where Julia Styles is being tracked through the market and side streets by the assassin and Bourne is chasing after them across the rooftops, while himself being chased by the police ending with one of the most vicious fights I can remember is my action scene of the year, just edging out the helicopter/police car chase in Die Hard 4.0.
On the Subject of Die Hard, which one outta the four installments is the best?? Die Hard with a Vengenance gets my vote!!!!
