What movie did you watch last night? (24 Viewers)

X-Men First Class: It's very good. I was indulging Fassbender's wild changes in accent, thinking maybe it was deliberate, but when he goes Irish it's very strange.

Can't wait to see it..I can see Fassbender being a future James Bond.

Would be perfect!

Nah he's too good looking. I can see Wayne Rooney doing it though. Now that he has hair like Craig Fucking David n'all.

Hanna:

All right.
Sometimes felt like the video for a shit Chemical Brothers song but mostly enjoyable enough.

Get Him To The Greek:

A bit more enjoyable than I expected it to be.
Basically Russell Brand is the same character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall with some added sadness.

Hanna:

Didn't think much of it at all myself

One odd bit was

Spoiler

at the end when Cate Blanchet's character was chasing Hanna, she looks out the window and sees Hanna running away a good bit ahead of her then it cuts to Hanna still running along the tracks towards a tunnel that Cate Blanchet walks out of ?!?!??

It was like that bit in The Simpsons when Bart and Lisa jump into laundry chute to escape Mr Burns and then when they land he's standing there in front of them again.

Speaking of the fass, I watched this

Usual type of animal movie, but it was too much for my ovaries to handle. FASSBENDER, I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU!

Yeah I thought "did I miss a bit there"

It could have been a lot better
The idea of a teenage girl Jason Bourne, is a cool one. You could do a lot with that.

 

[Cormcolash]

I thought the whole thing was a mess.
Like seriously, one minute she's getting chased by bad guys in Southern Spain that have tracked her from Morocco or something, and the next fucking scene she's in Berlin. Like the bad guys lost all their tracking skills as soon as they crossed from Africa to Europe.

The first 30 minutes or so of the film were really cool, but by the end it just deteriorated into nonsense.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

meh. really dull. clooney looked constipated throughout. the only redeeming feature was the massive hornage from the two women.

am-a-zing. one of my favourite films of the last 10 years. korean cinema is knocking everyone else out of the water these days

Spoiler

Roger Ebert said that this film hangs on the two women calling him the same name and that that change your whole idea of the film when you realise it....
Except
I remember the prostitute calls him Mr. Butterfly because of his tattoo and the girl from In Bruge calls him Mr. Butterfly because of the conversation by the river.
So
I don't see Ebert's point - unless he was referring to something else.

One of the greatest cinema scenes of all time

Possibly only bettered by the scene that comes directly after it!

 

[Jim Daniels]

True on both counts!

Tell No One

Very good French thriller which features some excellent performances and interesting charachters. In particular there's a middle section which involves a dedicated father / complete thug named Bruno who could have had his own movie made about him alone. As with most thrillers of this sort, as you figure out what's going on it loses a little something so the start when you have no idea what is going on is the best part even though one charachter turns up and basically goes "this is all the mysterious bits"

Spoiler

and the third act is a little bit to "well here's what happened" as one charachter basically fills in all the blanks

and the "bad guys" seem to have wandered off from a Jason Stateham film. Still these are minor gripes as the rest of the film plays out at a fair auld pace with one brilliant set piece which could have been comedic if it wasn't so well filmed and dare I say almost restrained. It shifts gears nicely without losing sight of the fact that this is charachter driven, everyone is given a little room to make their charachter seem real and therefore you can forgive the films flaws a little as some of the plot mechanics become a little obvious. Very good and if you liked The secrets in Their Eyes you'll probably love this. Not as good as the cover makes out. But when are non pixar films ever as good as the cover makes out?

XMen First Class. Good stuff.

 

[ratmonkey]

EMPEROR OF THE NORTH (POLE). A Robert Aldrich film. Ernest Borgnine is a hammer-wielding railwayman who won't stand for any hoboes riding on his train for free. Lee Marvin is a hobo who is going to ride on Ernest Borgnine's train.

Both this and Emperor of the North sound fucking awesome. Where can I watch them in the cinema?
