TLF Film Appreciation Society

I'm with Owen, Sunday morning's it's like having a private screening.

Great idea this Sunday morning stuff - went to the multiscreen local Vue Cinema today with the kids and there was only one other family in the whole Cinema. :yes

[Gasman GT3]

I have 4 and I have 2 of each sex and 2 of each "Attitude" Laura and Aaron don't get bored no matter what. They can both sit for hours reading a book or watching total pap on TV, they never compain about boredom and if they do get bored they normally go down the library and get another book or find something, anything, to do.

You've got a library in your house, impressive. We have got a media room ( back bedroom with 2 computers and loads of DVD's in)

[Kimbers]

Ha ha Very droll. No, despite our aspirations to the higher echeolons of society we still share the public library with the rest of the oiks!

[esprit350]

at our last house two of our four bedrooms were given over entirely to books, the third was a study

[Kimbers]

Now THIS looks like my kind of film!

Unsure if good news or bad news. Being a fairly big Clint Eastwood fan, I read in tdays paper at the ripe old age of 77, he's going to making another Dirty Harry film. (Go ahead punk, make my zimmer frame)

Haven't seen them so can't comment but - New Rambo film, Rocky 29, even the new Raiders film with Harrison Ford due for release soon, now Dirty Harry, 37 years after the original.

Why does the film industry keep trying to resurect great films made 20 - 30 years ago? Answer must be the obvious, just plain and simple - Money. Can't help feeling it kind of 'cheapens' the original.

this movie scores very big in HK!!

everyone loves it.

it is extremely bloody (body parts are flying everywhere)!

well, the part about how the armies tried the civilians are very realistic..(mine game, killing field, etc)

I think it is the best Rambo movie since "First Blood"

anyone has watched it?

**NOTE: Stallone directs this one!!

watched it last month, the directors edition is better, theres more uncut scenes in there, very graphic and a good way to close his story off.

[esprithk]

Hi, Simon

you mean there is an uncutted version showing in the theatre?

wow...then we must watch for it here in DVD Store

[esprithk]

ok, very interesting

Just watched it and thought it was a good movie. It did lack in storyline and the characters were very stereotypical (I think there was one of every type) - but for true blood Rambo fans like me, it regained some of the original movie theme, if only for the theme music...

I give it 91/2 out of 10 just on evidence that it is a must-see finale.

[esprithk]

in HK, people are arguing if it's possible to break a human body into piece by one bullet.

the answer is yes (check out it's a 0.50 cal!!)

[bigsi]

oh yes its more than possible, you see a d.u or a.p tippped 50cal round can more than ripa human limb off, they can pierce tank armour as well, in iraq the sas teams who went in first used the mechem ntw20 anti material rifle and the barret m82 "light fifty" into the armourd carriers and tanks of the iraq guard at which point they left their tanks and walked hands in the air towards them. the d.u tipped rounds are deadly and will do a serious amount of damage to a human body.

I loved the movie. I saw it twice while it was in the theatres here.

[dodgy]

Did anyone else have the same problem as our movie theater in Medicine Hat? we went to see it the second week in January here.

half way through the film, it went out of track and the top half of the screen was at the bottom

It took the projectionist a couple of minutes to realise what had gone on, then he stopped the film, put the lights up in the theater, and we were all left wondering what the hell was going on!

lights went down after a couple of more minutes (and after some people had left) and they started the film where it left off, not where it had started to go wrong

when we came out, no staff could be found anywhere !!!

quite liked the film

[bigsi]

nope dodgy sorry no problems here, its those crazy canadians playing mind tricks with you again!

[greyhound20]

Has anyone here seen the movie Donnie Darko? I just finished watching it and I'm not really sure what to make of the movie. Perhaps I shouldn't have had those Sam Adams Cream Stouts but I don't know if it was one of the best movies I've seen . . . or the worst.

At least I can take comfort in knowing my Lotus goes in tomorrow for a new clutch while I'm away on business.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend,

Stephen

[OwenGT3]

Seen it, but it is a weird film. Can't make out if it's real or he's dreaming it, it's in the future or whatever???? :crazy:

I watched a HK movie called "TheWarlords"

it is the Best HK movie of 2007.

So, I suggest everyone to watch it if it releases an international DVD version.

Great story, it's a remake of a movie from the 70's but much better!

here is the web site

[Sparky]

Ah. Donnie Darko is in fact about time travel. Watch it again with this in mind - it may make more sense!

[arbell9]

Watch the first Jackass movie today with the girlfriend I had seen it before but she hadnt. Both a very funny film and funny watching her nearly throw up when the bloke crapped his pants, or throw up watching them throwing up. If you have seen it at all or for a while watch it. Totally base humour at its best.

[Loose Cannon]

Seen Iron Man with the kids this afternoon, wonderful piece of hokum, and possibly the best superhero-type film since the first Spiderman.

Almost as unsubtle as the special effects was Audis product placement, I mean this rivalled the last few James Bond/Ford films for in-your-face advertising.

I do wonder how the new Esprit will fare against the Audi R8 faced with this kind of financial and PR onslaught no matter how good it is, it's like a giant version of the M100 Elan/MX5 thing all over again. On the plus side the hero did own a Tesla!

[Kimbers]

Brilliant film. I absolutely loved it's "No holes barred, but don't take it too seriously" attitude. Rivetting from start to finish.

[Paul C]

Rivetting from start to finish.

Rivetting, Iron Man?

I get it!

Might have to check this film out, being as everyones going nuts about it...
