CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I got this one as a gift It's all filmed in one continuous shot (digital mind) and it's quite brilliant piece of film-making. The plot isn't a masterpiece by any means, and some of the historical references escape me, but it's fascinating to see how the director manages to do so much without cutting, and the final scenes are quite mindblowing. It's on tonight on SkyArts2 at 10. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 It is indeed, I'm going to watch it again after I indulge in some Russian history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted January 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2011 Superb stuff. Catalina Saavedra deserves all the much talked about plaudits she received for such a magnificent yet subtle performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Watched Devil last night. Quite clever and a bit of a Whoodunnit thriller, had me guessing throughout and was quite tense. Pretty good. thought this was awfull watched it last week, I had it sussed after about 15/20 minutes its one of them who dunnit lets make it a complete shock by making the person who dunnit the least likely...therefore making it the most obvious I didn't have that person down as being least likely, didn't think it was that simple and could have been anyone. SPOLIERS!!! Not sure what you thought, but I had anyone in the building down as a suspect, from something the security guy said earlier in the film. Didn't think it was brilliant and the ending was a bit crap, but quite good. spoiler nah considering that the people in the lift consisted of a giant black security guard an ex army bloke a good looking bird who clearly is up to something a bit dodgy and a sweet little old lady...it was only ever going to be the sweet little old lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 24, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've seen a lot of films this week (for me). I won't go into detail Saw the King's Speech on Wednesday. Thought it was really good. Saw 127 Hours on Friday, again excellent. First half seemed to drag a little but it's absolutely necessary for the second half of the film, which is brilliant. And watched The Secret in Their Eyes yesterday. It was good, but I think I raised my expectations too much after all the hype it was given. I wasn't blown away.

VillaEire Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Watched Buried last night and I have to say it's not bad for a film that is set in a box for an hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Prophet is an awesome film. Saw the Town last night, really good and reminded me of Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legov Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Anybody watched the Green Hornet yet and if so is it worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 24, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2011 I haven't seen it, but I can guess that no, it isn't worth the money, especially to see it in 3D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2011 Looks awful. Though a 6.6 on imdb is surprisingly high for a film of that kind. I'd have expected it to be in the 3 to 4 range. So from that, I'd say if you like that kind of film it might be a decent one. I won't be wasting my hard-earned on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted January 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2011 ^^ Love that film. Haven't seen it in ages. Might have to dig it out this weekend again. Worth a look, although clearly I'm not quite the target market: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted January 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2011 Went to see the new John Carpenter movie (The Ward) the other night. I enjoyed it for what it was, which was an old-fashioned suspense thriller with some hokey acting and plot holes, both of which actually added to it's charm. It's certainly a long way from the genius of Assault on Precinct 13 and Halloween but at least it's a step in the right direction ie. it's not Ghosts of Mars.
