Went to see Django Unchained last night.    

 

As has been said, Tarantino's best since Pulp Fiction - and another great soundtrack.     

 

[Bibs]

^ what he said! Saw it last night too, great film - esp the bags!!

[red vtec]

Les Miserables, Went last night, outstanding.

[molemot]

Another vote for Django....very enjoyable. Also, recently saw St. George's Day....and excellent British gangster movie. Conversely, I slept through most of "Lincoln"....

New take on the Zombie Genre

 

[Kimbers]

There are so many good movies coming out this year!!

Caught Django this afternoon. Agree with the previous comments. Pure Tarantino. Riveting characters, never a dull moment, cleverly scripted as a morality play interposed with maximum attention grabbing graphic mayhem, and accompanied by the usual quirky and diverse soundtrack that has become Quentin's trademark flourish.

 

10/10

Saw "The Hobbit" this week. Despite it being a cracking tale I thought it had it's negative sides.

 

The story was going to be a 2 parter, but they extended it to 3 and it shows. There are quite a few "fillers" like 10 minutes of showing the Dwarves washing up. I don't recommend the 3D as the screen is so busy in the foreground that you can often miss whats going on in the background.

 

But overall the action sequences were brilliant and the characters superb. It has more comedic moments that LOTR and I found myself laughing out loud several times.

It's coming people!! The film I've been waiting for since I read the book 2 years ago!!

Ya know that was filmed largely in Glasgow. My mother spends most of the year in overseas retirement there and is good friends with Brain, owner of Piper on the Square, the pub on the southwest corner of George Square, and the production crew bought him out for weeks while they filmed. Here's George Square looking northwest (as well as other shots of Glasgow) at 0:44 and 0:53...

 

Best, funniest film I've seen all year...SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS!!!:

Just watched 'The Words'.

 

Really enjoyed it.

 

Hmm. Went looking on the net for info about the movie and whether I finally 'got it'

 

Did not get rave reviews. Maybe I'm not really critical.

[Bibs]

Watched Argo last night (and Lincoln but I'm sure I slept through half of it!). Great film. Not epic, but a good story well told. 7/10.

^^ 'sounded a bit undecided to me.

[Vulcan Grey]

I laughed at reading that.  A girl... well an ex...  had asked me to go see that with her.  If she hadn't been an ex, I might have gone to see it, but instead I forwarded her that review

[Bibs]

Trance. 7/10, make sure you pay attention!

[ramjet]

Just watched Skyfall.

 

They shot up the DB5.

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

Searching for Sugarman.... amazing story.

[Sparky]

I am sooooo feckin excited.  Just found out they're making a movie of one of my all-time favourite books - Ender's Game.  I imagine it'll get panned but I don't care, I'll love it.

[Bibs]

Iron Man 3 - 7/10, ok film once it gets going.

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

How's the R8? 

[Kimbers]

Tom Cruise in Oblivion. Me: 8/10 Wendy 3/10

 

My comment "Wow that chase between the craft cruise was flying and the 3 "bots" had my heart going". Wendy "It was stupid!"

 

My Comment " I loved the action sequences" Wendy "Most were stupid"

 

My comment " I didn't like the end" Wendy "best thing about it was it WAS the end".

 

Guess it's a bloke movie then.

[Bibs]

Star Trek - Into Darkness.

 

6/10. It's a decent film, go watch it but don't expect any oscars nominations! Entertaining, not earth shattering

[rizla603104]

I like the film Circus with John Hannah, Brian Connelly and Eddie Izzard in it. It's worth a watch.

[Moxie]

I dug Erased. Definitely "B" grade, but it was like Bourne + Taken + Three Dasy of the Condor - 1, which still isn't bad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/erased/id625108734

Django Unchained... classic Tarantino, potent stuff.
