placidcasual Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Talking of Christian Bale, I've just watched The Machinist for the first time. I've wanted to see it for ages. Holy shit, he puts in an amazing performance. Method acting to put De Niro to shame. It's actually quite unsettling to watch him in it. Really good creepy film with an excellent ending. The guy who directed it, Brad Anderson, is good at making very understated, disturbing films. Anyone seen Session 9 with Peter Mullen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone seen Session 9 with Peter Mullen? Been meaning to for ages. Read a couple of reviews of it and it seems like the kind of film would love. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I really enjoyed his performance in the remake of Shaft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 INCEPTION In my opinion it was just a typical Christopher Nolan film. I thought it was really enjoyable like all his movies but prior to watching it I had heard that this one in particular was complicated and really clever. I didn't find it to be this at all. It appeared to me to be a pretty straight forward storyline before throwing in a slight twist (if you can call it that) in the last five minutes. It's no more complicated than Memento. I can imagine there will be people watching it over and over again for clues and theories, which might make it a better/worse viewing if you do. But taking it at face value and not overthinking the story I found it be a really good film. Slightly dissapointed that it wasn't as brilliantly complicated as I had been told but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Bale is probably one of the most adaptable actors in the world, and probably the best. I often hear stories about how much work he puts in to his characters so they are perfectly the way he wants them to be, for the entire filming he virtually turns into them. Wouldn't surprise if actually forced himself to stay awake throughout the filming of The Machinist just to get more realism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 wee trivia question, which two people were in both inception and the dark knight? Just checked, can remember them both being in The Dark Knight, but remember nothing of Inception at all so couldn't have told you they were in it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Damn, that was the harder one (I think) Well I've seen the Dark Knight four times and Inception twice... What was the easier one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Michael Caine Bingo. Although you may disagree, I thought that Caine's role in Inception was bigger than Murphy's in The Dark Knight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Michael Caine is the easier one! Edit, beaten to it, but I agree, Caine had a bigger role than Murphy did in TDK. Edited January 10, 2011 by Drake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 And Salty, Michael Caine was DiCaprio's father in Inception. Murphy was the rich son that they were screwing over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So what is going on then? If it's that straightforward. Well taking it at face value like i said I did. They are trying to perform Inception for the Asian chap (Who incidentally was in Batman Begins too) by going in to Cillian Murphy's dreams so that he will liquidate his dad's company. That's basically what is happening for the majority of the film. They explain what they're going to do and they do it, albeit with some suspense as you would expect as it's a film. It's only the last five minutes or so that throws you off balance. Feel free to point out anything I've missed. Also Michael Caine was the other actor from TDK. And Tom Hardy is apparently going to be the villain in the next Batman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 And Tom Hardy is apparently going to be the villain in the next Batman. Who is he meant to play, I'm gonna say no though. It's neither of the Riddler or Dr Freeze. I heard that it was meant to Talia al Ghul(The daughter of Ra's al Ghul(Liam Neeson in Batman Begins)) or Catwoman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
