Films

Watched 5 episodes of Game of Thrones last night. Didn't really get into it. It had the nudity thing like Spartacus but it didn't really work imo.

heard about this?

off to see 'the great white silence' tommorrow, should be qualidy

Watched 'The Fighter' last night. Christian Bale was excellent, as per usual. Mark Wahlberg was a bit stale, as per usual. Well written, well filmed and the fighting was really well choreographed. Well.

Anyway, I quite like 'end of the world' and 'post-apocalyptic' kind of movies. There are a couple here which I'm going to start working through, but can anyone suggest any more?

Ive heard about one that mentions 'offf world colonies' but cant quite remember the title

No seriously. Any suggestions?

What film were you referring to anyway?

starship troopers

Really liked that too. For once Wahlberg was good, though he kinda played himself-ish? Felt like a role that was similar to himself

yup, christian bale was great in that, thought it was a good movie

Talking of Bale, watched 3.10 to Yuma last night. Good classic western. Still want to watch the original.

Silly, but very charming. And reaffirmed my desire to marry Emily Blunt.

+1

My sentiments exactly.

watched The Way Back and London Boulevard over the weekend.

I've never seen two so utterly dull movies in a while. The Way Back had a great possibility to be a fantastic adventure movie, it wasn't. London Boulevard could be a great London gangster movie, it wasn't.

waste of time

Colin Farrell is in both of those, a coincidence or do you secretly have a thing for him?

Watched Source Code last night. I am disappoint. I like Jake Gyllenhaal a whole bunch and think Duncan Jones is a huge talent - but I couldn't help but thinking that the main 'twist' and conceit of the film (I won't spoil it here) was just way over the top. It felt watered-down, derivative and just generally a bit naff. And the awkward, faux emotive bullet-time-esque dolly near the end just added to my indignation as the credits rolled.

It was probably incredible. I'm just in misery guts mode.

saw it on the big screen. Really liked the acting and generally watching it, the script though... less so

sheer coincidence

Really liked him in Tigerland, but it's been downhill since then

I've seen no films recently, but on-topic;

1 Christian Bale is really very good.

2 Emily Blunt is bite-the-back-of-your-hand sexy.

3 End.

Really hated 'Source Code', on all counts. Sorry. Saw 'Limitless' (a screener) the day after, and found it more entertaining, as far as supposedly twisty/mind-bending conceits go.

I'm going to watch "The Losers" tonight.... wish me luck...

just started watching the road, trailer looked good so i'm giving it a shot

Watched Un Prophète and To live and die in L.A this week. I thought they both were amazing. To live and die in L.A had me sat bolt upright in bed at one point, brilliant.

I really like William Petersen, has he done anything else notable apart from Manhunter?

I loved it, felt very down afterwards though.

Yeah Source Code was bad, Limitless was actually enjoyable.

Unfortunately not, see my earlier comment about this movie #2809

exactly my sentiments

Spotter I hope you didn't slash your wrists after watching 'The Road'. Great film, but a little on the grey side.

Just finished The Losers.

Better than The Expendables. Slicker, more fun, sillier - yet still gave the audience some credit.

Understand this is absolute tosh, but thoroughly entertaining tosh.
