[butchersapron]

French new wave was 50 years ago g-dad.

 

[butchersapron]

Whats sort of film was 50 years old then?

 

[pboi]

Angel-A

 

[snackhead]

Being John Malkovich

 

[stupid dogbot]

Law Abiding Citizen: Surprisingly entertaining, but almost entirely ruined by a really dreadful, trite, predictable ending.

The Dark Knight: Much, much better 2nd time round and in HD. Really enjoyed it, quite gripped, to be honest.

 

[Reno]

What on earth can follow after The Wire and Deadwood . . .

Mad Men

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Angel-A

I liked that. I think it's about time for a re-watch.

 

[belboid]

Season 5 of The Shield. Bloody great stuff.

And, especially to please butch - a film! unfortunately for butch, and/or me, it was Twilight. Not too bad actually

 

[feldbach]

inglourious basterds...that colonel landa character was creepy - waltz deserves a best actor oscar nomination for that role.
brad pitt was crap in it - his accent was annoying.

 

[Badgers]

About 8 or 10 episodes of Fringe on NYD
Now up to episode 10, series 2 and still liking the crazy show

 

[sojourner]

Episodes 6 - 9 of Deadwood, S1

I am so unbelievably pleased that there are two more seasons to go

 

[marty21]

watching fortunes of war atm, 4 episodes last night, another few tonight i reckon

 

[Voley]

Inglourious Basterds. Really enjoyed it, particularly the long, tense scene in the basement. A few good laughs in it, too. Brad Pitt's Italian/Tennessee accent was fucking funny. He's really a pretty good comic actor these days, I think. He really made me laugh in Burn After Reading, recently, too. Much better than I thought it would be, given the reviews and the overly-analytical stuff I read about it here and elsewhere on the net. Good film.

District 9 again. A second viewing confirms it my favourite sci fi film of the year.

District 9 again. A second viewing confirms it my favourite sci fi film of the year.

I watched it for the second time this NYE and yes, it's really great. It actually improved on a second viewing for me.

 

[DotCommunist]

You have to feel a bit sorry for Cameron, any other year his would have been the critical and exonomic success of the year (in sci fi) but now he has to share the glory with District 9

 

[digitell]

Watched District 9 for the first time on NYE, and I was totally blown away by it. I had heard that it was good, but I didn't expect it to be that good. Totally agree that it was the best sci-fi film of 2009.

 

[8115]

I'm watching Brief Encounter. It's lush.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Watched Pulp Fiction with my son - thoroughly enjoyable.

I noticed that Amanda Plummer's character says different lines at the end of the film as those from the start, even though it's supposed to be the same scene.

Anyway...just thought I'd share that.

i've heard so many good reviews from friends...i need to watch it soon i guess

 

[marty21]

watched the rest of Fortunes of War, enjoyed it, classic 80s drama (set in ww2)

and just watched Cutters Way, early 80s film with Jeff Bridges and John Heard, feels more like a early 70s kinda flick, very good imo, wasters investigate a murder, one eyed, one armed vietnam war vet takes on the man

 

[Part 2]

The Assasination of Richard Nixon, on telly.

Great film, don't think I've heard it mentioned here before.

 

[Belushi]

The most recent Star Trek movie, excellent, really enjoyed it.

 

[dylans]

Man on Wire. The incredible, mental story of Philippe Petites incredible wire walk between the twin towers in 1974.

Awesome. Absolutely sublime and breathtaking. The artistic crime of the century.

 

[Reno]

Up in the Air, a comedy/drama with George Clooney about a company that businesses can hire to sack their staff. It was really good. It's one of those really well written semi-indie films like Sideways which don't reinvent the wheel, but feel quite truthful about their characters.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I watched Give 'em Hell, Malone - directed by Russell Mulcahy who also made Razorback, Highlander and Duran Duran vids!

It was alright.

Looks like they made the most of a fairly low budget and produced an over the top action noir not unlike 'Sin City'.

The first 5 minutes offers much more than the film delivers, but it's a great 5 minutes....and what follows is pretty good stuff.

Thomas Jane is actually good in this fim!

 

[Sadken]

Election - really liked it, reminiscent of Rushmore which'll always play well with me

District 9 - Really liked this as well, dunno why i waited so long

Also the French film: A Prophet.
