LockStockVilla Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Saw The Wolf of Wall Street last night. Great film. I'm a big fan of Leo and Jonah Hill, and this was certainly my favorite movie featuring these actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Saw The Hobbit: DoS on Boxing Day (first session ) and I was not disappointed. The barrel scene was just ridiculously awesome and Smaug was fiendishly brilliant. Even bigger and better than I had imagined him in my mind. Saw this in HFR 3D as well and was actually really impressed by the effect. I didn't see the first one in HFR, so I'm not sure how it compares, but this was like looking through a window. I think it worked especially well during the barrel sequence. The film perhaps stretched a little towards the end and more liberties were taken with the source material than I was expecting, but it was one hell of a ride, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the final installment.

maqroll Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Watched "The Prisoners" last night. Very silly movie with gaping plot holes and bad acting. Can't believe it's been so highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2013 How come they don't show 'The Great Escape' anymore? One of the great urban myths. "Ohhhh, boooring Christmas TV schedules, they always show The Great Escape, every year..." As a HUUUUGE fan of TGE, take it from me, they very rarely show it. Doesn't matter to me, I've got it on DVD , obviously, and I had it on VHS before that. But still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 They showed it very often (at Jesusmas) when I was growing up. They may have shown it during Easter too. It hasn't been on in years, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Saw Carnage the other day which is a film based on a play called God of Carnage by Yasmina Ray. It's a good showcase of acting (there are only 4 characters and they are played by Christoph Waltz, Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster and John C Rilley, so a proper stellar cast) but it's a bit slow. I've never seen the play but I imagine it works well onstage. On film however it's a bit boring and seems to drag even though it is just over an hour long but, if such things interest you, it's probably worth watching for the acting. So yeah. Only new film I've seen all month and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Die Hard was on E4. I watched some of it then cringed at the 80s hair. Jaysus, what a terrible decade. Glad I missed it. Edited December 28, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) I was born in '85 so I couldn't fully appreciate it, but the 80s was a great decade. You missed out. The 90s sucked in comparison. Edited December 28, 2013 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just went into town (a 20 minute drive) to go and see The Hobbit 2 only to find out they only had no seats left. Freaking lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
