What movie did you watch last night? (9 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

I thought this would be naff but it turned out to be wonderful.

A big love note from Martin Scoresezz to the movies.

11 nominations, I'm hearing.

Daycint.

 

[El Topo]

Saw Hugo recently, the 3D version. I went along purely for entertainment, and enjoyed it. Nice visuals.

 

[El Topo]

This is a great wee gem of a movie. Ben Mendelsohn as Pope Cody, brilliant.
* Animal Kingdom, that is, I was meant to quote from the previous page.

Fucking Channing Tatum is in a lot of movies lately.

Amitabh Bachchan is a hit man back for one last job, dispensing beatings to anyone who calls him old along the way.

Salman Khan is a goonda, some plot happens involving some violence and love alternating as does happen in these things. The action bits are really good.

Both of the above have Prakash Raj as the goonda antagonist. He does a great bad guy, he's kind of like an Indian Ernest Borgnine. Also both have supertext during the songs telling you how you can get them as your ring tone.

Saw Coriolanus . It was dead good - pretty dense though, as you'd expect

 

[hermie]

A bit bizarre in places. The musical choices were very strange. Watchable though, good cast.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Actually, fuck it, if I start counting the ways I'll be here all day. This is just straight up the best shit ever.

Don the Dragon Wilson is in Galway and accidentally buys a six pack of Beamish containing nuclear detonators belonging the IRA.

[7 - No tomorrow]

Underworld Awakening - which I went to see in 3-D IMAX. With all the extras, it ended up costing me about $20

So, sort of like buying an overpriced drink for a stripper. It feels kind of good at the time, but not really worth the money.

Mrs. egg_, super-sound wife that she is, rented out Coco Before Chanel last night cos she knows I have the hots for Audrey Tatou. The film is surprisingly decent, and Audrey had my tongue hanging out. Looked up Coco Chanel on wikipedia after, and in real life it looks like she was a cast-iron asshole - exploitative employer, junkie, committed anti-Semite and Nazi spy

Caught part of six shooter the other night. Hadn't seen it before, funny bastard.

i think this might be my favourite David Fincher film, although i didn't like it much when it first came out

Same here. Everytime I see it I like it better.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i might watch it again tonight

Yeah, pretty sure she was complete scum. Stravinsky didn't mind though!

This is pretty good, but I'd probably have liked it more if they had left in the Liam Neeson goes Kickboxer on the wolves, or the bit where he phones them up and tells them about how he has a particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a long career of hunting wolves.

This is much like the Grey, except Liam Neeson plays the wolves and Pierce Brosnan plays Lam Neeson. Actually, it's probably more like a blend of Death Hunt (Ed Lauter is part of the hunting posse in both) and Dead Man (Michael Wincott is part of the hunting posse in both), one of your Westerns in Purgatory type of things.

Remake of Dogtanian and the Muskehounds, but with people. Spike Milligan is also in this.

Also, useless fact I learned while looking for the above - Elvis and Ingrid Pitt did karate classes together.

 

[Cormcolash]

AHHHH I'll just have to get The Grey director's cut on DVD then – harder wolf-punching edition.

I watched Haywire - surprisingly, it was actually dead good, and not even so much in a comedy way. The woman in it is dead good, and she is fairly hot too, good combination. Haha. The action is great - I think Ratmonkey was saying it doesn't do that fucking shite of shaking the camera all over the place so you can't actually see what's going on and that kind of shit. Instead you get proper fight scenes Jackie Chan sort of style. Well, more like Taken I suppose. Bill Paxton is disappointingly serious.
The best bit in the film is where

Spoiler

she beats the shite out of a couple of 'guards'

. I don't know why I didn't just start cheering in the middle of the cinema, hahaha. It's like the bit in The Warriors where

Spoiler

they push a cop down a flight of stairs and everyone starts cheering

hahaha!

It's definitely mine. Great stuff altogether

Went to see The Artist yesterday.

It was grand. But, I don't quite know what all the fuss is about.
