I saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it, it's a lot better then the usual scary kid horror films that come out theses days and some parts were really funny. I knew that there was a big twist but all my guesses through the film were way off !!

like most modern american comedies the supporting cast steal the show.

best line.

 

[Lili Marlene]

meh. It was alright, a bit boring. It kind of felt like a really long episode of Knightmare. There's always too much going on in Dave Mckean's art for me

 

[GrumpyEditor]

Pretty damn good. Stars the lad from that film Guest House Paradiso. Has he been in anything else?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Has he been in anything else?

Monica Bellucci.


Do you see what I did there?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

heads up

MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY NO.1
MEMBERS' PREVIEW
Sunday 16th August, 10.30am

AS IF HE WAS MERELY WARMING UP IN THE FIRST HALF (KILLER INSTINCT), VINCENT CASSEL PUTS ON THE POUNDS AND DONS MYRIAD DISGUISES IN THIS CÉSAR-WINNING PERFORMANCE AS THE SELF-MYTHOLOGISING SUPERCROOK MESRINE, WHO CUT A SWATHE THROUGH THE HEADLINES IN 1970’s FRANCE AS PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1.

It’s a performance to rank with De Niro in his prime, and it grounds the story as Mesrine’s elusive exploits continue to leave us gasping in their wake. Cannily, director Jean-François Richet shot much of this section first, allowing the bulked-up Cassel to shed his impressive gut for the character’s slimmer younger days, while this time the star’s chief playmates include a spry Mathieu Amalric as an understandably wary fellow fugitive, and Ludivine Sagnier as the seductive moll who’ll learn the hard way that the jewelled baubles which come with the territory do so at a heavy price.

Since the preceding Killer Instinct has already forewarned us to expect extremes of spontaneous daring and chastening cold steel from the man, the focus here shifts to Mesrine’s need to keep sustaining his flamboyant reputation with yet more snook-cocking illegality — and the quite possibly deluded sense that he was making a political statement in the process. Neither of the films judges their protagonist, though here the timing is especially deft. Just when we’re about to fall for Mesrine’s intoxicating bluster, we see him perpetrating another act beyond the pale of acceptability. With its adrenalin-charged action and freewheeling sense of transgression, this is certainly no heavyweight rumination on moral responsibility, but neither is it some facile hagiography.

MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 opens at the IFI on Friday 28th August

nasty little bitch, i saw this yesterday

the creepiest bit was when she

Spoiler

dolled herself up in the makeup and frock and started cracking on to the dad on the couch before we found out she was 33

overall it was ok

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Christmas on mars - very good

 

[coast to coast]

Beautiful. I think I'm going to watch it again very soon.



edit:

Also watched this a week or two ago and really enjoyed it.

 

[Gambra]

Fuck yeah. Tied up most of the things that were bugging me at the end of finishing Firefly last week.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I still heart serenity

anyway

totally contrived, unbelievably good looking guy with aspergers meets unbelievably good looking girl who is single for some reason. Stuff happens.



Despite all that I totally loved it.

 

[jonah]

Weird. Keith Carradine reminded me of an ex, which made it even weirder.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

My expectations were very low on this, but I did enjoy it.
I'm not sure he gets the tone right. Hops around a bit from Sergio Leone to 'Allo 'Allo to torture-com and is quite silly at times.
But there is plenty to like and it didn't feel like 2 1/2 hours.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

moody, brilliant, ordinary people

 

[Mormon Nailer]

Absolute shit.
Dreadful sneery unfunny misanthropic rubbish.

 

[MDR]

Wemt to see Coco before Chanel last week in the Lighthouse. Impressed by the lighthouse although it's a shame that there aren't more nice pubs and restaurants nearby.

The film was an enjoyable romantic thing - to be honest they could have just told it as a story without any reference to Chanel, as the attempts to link-in her later success as a designer were the clumsiest parts of the film. Like a lot of french films I see: very enjoyable to watch but fades from memory quickly afterwards.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

not very good. slick but boring. it was played dead straight too, as if the director didn't get ellis' style of humour. having said that, it's definitely worth watching for amber heard's performance, my new favourite horn, who spends most of the movie unclothed. go amber
