Wasted my time with The Hike...absolutely awful film...last time i ask the wife for a recommendation.

 

[Mephitic]

Paradise lost 1,2 &3. the hbo documentaries about the west Memphis 3. Shocking stuff.

 

[Voley]

Watched both parts of Mesrine that I'd recorded off the telly. Second time I'd watched them - if anything, I enjoyed them even more this time round. I ought to read a decent book about Mesrine - it's a mindboggling story.

Pride and Glory - American cop drama - it's a bit Irish American Cop drama by the numbers tbh - it's ok, but not great.

 

[krtek a houby]

Staff Benda Bilili! Cracking doc about the Congolese sensation.

 

[DexterTCN]

The first hour of Dark Knight. I love these Nolan films - properly dark.

 

[starfish]

The Black Dahlia. Was ok. Must read the book though.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

The Flame of My Love. Wonderful.

 

[magneze]

Margin Call - inside an investment bank when the crisis hit. Excellent film - totally gripping with some great performances. If you describe it then it sounds shit, but it's actually pretty absorbing.

 

[Yetman]

First two episodes of The River - great stuff

 

[Prince Bert]

Watched Fight Club the other night. Complete shit. None of it was believable and the twist wasn't even that interesting. Aren't these film makers meant to lead the viewer into suspending disbelief. Well not with this two hours of shit. Waste of my time. On a more positive note I am watching a film called Blow with Johnny Depp. Good film.

that Lord Of The Rings is a bit far-fetched too

Love Honour & Obey (2000) Cant believe i missed this one first time round Absolutely brilliant film all the actors looked like they were havin a right laugh filmin it anawl "Fix Bayonets" had me in stitches

 

[Orang Utan]

That's one of the worst films I've ever seen!

 

[belboid]

is that the one where there's a clown staggering around tripping its tits off?

Absolutely fucking dire if so. So bad even Danny Dyer turned it down...

 

[Orang Utan]

Yup, plus karaoke

Lemon Haze (innit)

Like I said, some films allow you to suspend your disbelief and float out of reality into a fantasy world. Fight Club was just a pile of shit.

 

[Orang Utan]

It wasn't a pile of shit. It was an urban fantasy. It didn't expect you to believe that it could happen

 

[Reno]

Considering Fight Club takes place inside a mad person's head, how could anybody expect for it to be realistic ?

A better one with the Notting Hill set is Final Cut. Ray Winstone is in it and again, they look like they had a laugh filming it.

I feel like I've gone through a Paul Ross-shaped wormhole

 

[DexterTCN]

Gotham Knight, an animated anime style bunch of Batman stories. Meh, not the best.

I didn't say realistic. Just to allow me to suspend my disbelief. That's what good fiction and films do. Anyhow, I'm a film expert, and I said it's shit. End of.

 

[Orang Utan]

You sound like an idiot, quite frankly

 

[Reno]

What are your credentials ?

 

[Orang Utan]

Ah never mind

 

[Captain Hurrah]

John Carter. I was expecting little from this flop anyway, but thought it might pleasantly surprise me. There were a few mildly funny moments, but other than that it was really dull, the action scenes underwhelming. The only characters fleshed out are the Tharks. The set-piece battles including them could've been better. I'm glad I never wasted money on seeing this at the cinema or paying for the DVD. My friend lent me the one belonging to his kid.

I haven't read any of the Barsoom series of books (I'm guessing this film is based solely on A Princess of Mars?), or indeed anything by Edgar Rice Burroughs, so can't comment on its fidelity or otherwise to the original material.

 

[Orang Utan]

I saw that recently too. Everyone has orange sunbed tans. That's all I remember
