The point has been royally missed in all the recent remakes of Paul Verhoeven films.  I heard Starship Troopers is up next.

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

 

even if they added even more gratuitous nudity you can't improve the perfection that is Starship Troopers

Just watched 12 Years a Slave.

My goodness, what a film. I know it didn't resonate as much with some people on here, but I thought it was extremely powerful.

I won't say I enjoyed it, because I didn't, and I don't think that's the point, but I was engrossed by the performances. Special mentions to Ejiofor, Fassbender and Nyong'o.

It is an uncomfortable film to watch, and I must admit, I did shed a tear on two occasions, but what a brilliant film.

I think one person said they didn't get it. Something along the lines of they didn't need to see it to understand slavery.

Thought Filth was okay and I enjoyed McAvoy's performance.  I can see why they said it was unfilmable though because some of it didn't translate.  Some of the key lines and set pieces seemed a bit forced and rushed too.

Gladiator (2000) is it really 14 years old ?......regardless still a massive film have to give it a 9.5

Its not a bad film, but it's certainly no Spartacus.

I watched an oldish Russian film called The Mirror, i didn't mind it myself, can't really say I understood the overall story but enjoyed it scene for scene.

Can't wait to see this...

 

What's happened to Frank's accent?

 

 

It's "loosely based" on Frank Sidebottom, rather than a biopic, so they get to use artistic licence I guess.
