Good Fillums

I watched both ‘Stand by Me’ and ‘Drive’ for the first time in the last two days.

Both excellent and I was mindblown to discover Will Wheaton (Wheeeeeeeeeeton!) was on the main kids in Stand by Me.

It reminded me of Sleepers without the buggery to a large extent. Very similar feel.

Drive was absolute gold, great plot, soundtrack, photography and acting. Gosling was immense, I’ve never really like him in anything prior to this. Well worth the watch.

I also watched ‘Inception’ for the first time since I saw it in the cinema and, if anything, I was more impressed this time. An absolute classic.

Close to the worst film I’ve ever seen, even worse then ‘Avatar’.

In that people might forget it was ever made?

I wouldn’t go that far but thought it was pretty shit alright.

The worst film I have ever seen is The Guard.

No, only a tard would read that meaning into what I posted.

Far from it. A wonderful little romp in keeping with previous Jones’ films. All that was wrong was that those who were fans of the previous went in with rose tinted glasses. In due course, Crystal Skull will be viewed in line with the previous three. All in time.

No it’s fucking dire. Up there with the three Star Wars prequels in how bad it was. Awful story, awful effects and that goddawful Shia La Puff starring as well.

Watched ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ again over Christmas, fucking deadly film, I’d highly recommend giving it a viewing if you’ve never seen it

Coming from a man who only just watched Stand By Me and didnt even know Will Wheaton was in and a guy who uses Shia La Puff, I’ll pass on your opinion.

As I said, in time.

And the 3rd prequel was a fine film, easily on a par with 2 of the original 3.

What do you mean by this? Pretty bizarre thing to say.

All that was wrong with the film was that the audience was expecting too much.

You are obviously inferring that Crystal Skull didn’t deliver on their expectations.

How can it be judged to be comparable to the other films so?

Sentiment and all that aside, Crystal Skull was just a bad bore of a film. The last half hour in itself…sweet jesus.

The vast majority of those looking forward to Crystal Skull only became familiar with the series due to constant christmas or holiday showings. It was a beloved friend from a childhood era and as such it was forever going to be a nigh on impossible job to match up to these roae tinted expectations.

While Crystal Skull falls slightly short of mcguffin and enjoyment of its predecessors I believe it by no means warranted the criticism it took on its release. we have even had one person here describe it as worse than Avatar FFS, complete OTT stuff.

it is my firm belief that in time, with inevitable repeat showings, Crystal Skull will be looked on with far more fondness than now being the case.

The Bourne Legacy. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Watched this as I battled insomnia last night, cracking film and Jeremy Renner is a wonderful actor.

+1 to all this. Outstanding.

Watching ‘The Possession’ here. It is some load of bollocks as i suspected it would. Not even moderate scares in it.

If i’ve ever deliberately started a movie and not finished it then i can’t remember when the last one was, in fact i don’t think i have ever done it. But i am not watching this ‘Rock of Ages’ to the end. Turning it off after struggling through almost 50mins. It is a car crash. It’s the worst film i’ve ever experienced.

10 mins into Catfish here…not sure if I am gonna stick with it.

Watched 'Flight’last night, not bad, typical Hollywood fare.

Watched ‘Smashed’ during the week which stars Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul.

Decent low budget flick about a young married couple who are functioning alcoholics. The female lead is fantastic in it in fairness to her.

You could easily make a similar version about many people here in Ireland.

watching Pedro almovodar box set i got…4 movies…he´s mad bastard…some imagination…love really is a battlefield…banderas is fantastic in ´tie me up, tie me down´…cracking movie…

You’ve yet to see the best of them all, “women on the verge of a nervous breakdown”
