theboyangel Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thoroughly enjoyed Locke - how a film about a man driving from Birmingham to London holding phonecalls about concrete could be so absorbing is unbelievable!!! Quality performance by Tom Hardy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My nephew wants me to watch the amazing spiderman pt. 2 with him today. Any good? I think it's alright, no more. I like Garfield as Spiderman. Female lead is also pretty decent. Standard superhero film really. Neither poor nor particularly memorable, but watchable.

trekka Posted November 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Watched Interstellar last night. Really disappointing and I was quite bored for most of it. Edited November 15, 2014 by trekka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Also, I'm interested as to how Leemond thinks the lead "blew it" in the last third of the film? (that's not a snidy question, genuinely interested) I thought she was great, and the climax of the film was incredibly tense. I don't know I think it was the whole exorcist style scenes, I just didn't think she came across brilliant in it, mind you I thought the script was a little dicey there as well when she shouted something cheesy along the lines of 'if you touch my son I will **** kill you' I thought that was a little cringe worthy, although that was more the script than anything else I suppose I think saying she blew it was probably a little harsh actually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a powerful, necessary moment in the characters development. Did you watch it at the cinema? For my money this is a film much better suited to the big screen.

Xela Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Going back to Lost In Translation - what a wonderfully beautiful film. Ok, not a lot happens but the interaction between the two leads is great and you can feel the tension building up between them. I love the ending as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the gif was posted. Going back to Lost In Translation - what a wonderfully beautiful film. Ok, not a lot happens but the interaction between the two leads is great and you can feel the tension building up between them. I love the ending as well You've prompted me to watch it again. I've always wanted to visit Tokyo (and Japan as a whole really) and this is one of the films that really builds my hunger for it (along with watching NHK World ).

wazzap24 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Watched The Terminator tonight as it was on and I hadn't seen it in a few years. Great film, better than Judgement Day in my opinion, but it got me thinking about just how fast technology has evolved in the last thirty years. The stop-motion animation used in this film in 1984 doesn't look any better than what Ray Harryhausen was doing in Jason and the Argonauts twenty years previously. Flash forward twenty years to 2004 and we had Pixar and various other animation and graphics studios churning out incredible stuff. Just made me have a ponder. I went to see the man himself last night in Leeds. Interviewed on stage by Johnathon Ross. Arnie was great and knocked out a few lines from his various 80's/90's roles. The Terminator ones went down well obviously, but the stand out was a roaring 'GET TO THE CHOPPER' from Commando! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Is it just me who thought the shibuya crossing was small compared to how it looks in the films? Just back from the imitation game, very good film, I wouldn't say no to an oscar nod for cumberbatch, not a clue why I've never been to Bletchley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd of idiots screaming and laughing at all the scary moments, no. Go to a Sunday matinee or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 So curiosity got the better of me, and I watched the remake of Oldboy. Really wish I'd not bothered, although Elizabeth Olsen in the buff was a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
