yoda Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 @ magee84 and pub car king Thought Senna was a stunning watch as well, and even though your both not big motorsport fans by the sounds of it, can I recommend Closer To The Edge, the documentary on the Isle of Man TT race. Simply looks at 4/5 riders over the 2010 TT event and some of the footage is just drop dead gorgeous. Even if you have no idea about the Isle of Man TT beforehand, you'll have an urge to go over the following year (I'm heading over this year, partly on the back of the film/documentary but also on the fact I've always wanted to do.) I would also recommend this. I don't have a great interest in motorbikes, but my stepdad does and it was a really entertaining watch. It's quite funny in places and some of the shots are amazing. I actually enjoyed it more than Senna, despite having a greater interest in F1 than motorbike racing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 We Bought a Zoo Enjoyed this. Some of characters were played really well, the daughter is possibly the cutest wee girl ever and has the best lines. I would class this as a nice film if that makes sense, be warned though women cry at this film 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Few to mention: Hangover 2 Pish. Predicable rubbish! 2/10 American Pyscho Once again Bale is fantastic and plays the part very well. Bateman's insanity is great to watch. 7.5/10 The Social Network Didn't think I would enjoy it but I really did. It was a compelling watch and not knowing, or caring, about the real life events aided the enjoyment. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hustle and Flow (2005) I'm a big fan of Terrence Howard(Crash). Plays a small time pimp from the dirty south, who aspires to make it as a hip-hop recording artist. Dealing with his daily struggles & the lifestyles of his group of friends & adopted family members. A feel good film, with some good characters. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Unknown (2011) Liam Neeson does what Liam Neeson does best. Save the day despite it being physically impossible for him to do so. This time he finds himself suffering from amnesia after a car crash, and has to find out was happened as his world crashes down around him. Great film made surprisingly by the guy who made House of Wax and Goal 2! It was fairly stressful for me to watch as I was in a coma for the same amount of time (four days) and also have amnesia related to it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerton Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Midnight in Paris: 9/10 Had no idea what it was about. Took me totally by surprise, loved it. Wasn't particularly funny, just very clever and very enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 As part of the extreme season on film four I watched "love exposure" a four hour long Japanese film that drew me in and kept me there for the whole four hours. Dark in bits and propper lol funny in others. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint dave Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Slowly downloading 'The Anderson Platoon'' after reading about Pierre Schoendoerffers death recently (director). documentary about Vietnam from 1965. Really want to see the 'predesessor' 317th section about the French in Indochina in the 50's. Has anybody seen either? Nope, but try Hearts And Minds http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0071604 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZOR Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The Hunger Games. Honestly folks, 10/10. Best film ive seen in a long long time. Ignorantly i hadnt read the first book but will be purchasing the final two chapters today. If your thinking, it look like some teeny drama. Far from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Apollo 18. Apparently the last man on the moon was also in Monarch of the Glen! Passed the time, not scary, and no real suspense. Got it for free, I'd advise you to likewise. 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Moneyball I've seen some belting films of late and this one might well top the lot. Based on a true story, Brad Pitt as Oakland Athletics general manager, attempts to improve his teams fortunes on one of the smallest budgets, with some unconventional/inspired moves. Engrossing and hugely enjoyable. 9/10 The Cottage At the other end of the scale is this British horror/comedy, which forgets to be either. It goes off at tangents and totally wastes what appears at first a decent concept. 2/10 Edited March 25, 2012 by stewie from paris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port-ton Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 21 Jump Street A film i would have most likely avoided at all costs, until i started to read some very positive reviews about it. It's never going to be a movie that you'll take anything away from it, but for what it is, a comedy then it certainly hit all the right notes. It's also the first film i've seen that has really tackled the whole ' Nerds are cool these days ' thing that goes on and how you think to yourself " If only i was in school now, i'd have been a much cooler person " and it handles it excellently. Some genuinely laugh out loud moments, along with some very smart ways of having 80's stereotypes (it's based on a TV show from the 80's) in the movie, but doing it in a way so it's laughing at them, without spoofing it. For me it's the best comedy i've seen in years, and as so i'm going to judge it as a comedy and not on the same scale that i would judge other types of movies. 8.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'll be going to see it, but it just looks like a total rip-off of Battle Royale. I read an article where the author of the books said she'd never even heard of Battle Royale until she handed in the manuscript for the first book and she was told by whoever not to watch them. More along the lines of Lord of the Flies. See what you think but its certainly the best ive seen at the cinemas in a long time. Lord of the Flies is children fighting due to madness, they weren't forced to fight each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Battle royal is a bloody brilliant film, if The Hunger Games is anywhere near as good fun to watch, it will be good in my books. Plus it has Woody Harleson in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yes thanks for the synopsis. So then why did you say it was more like that than Battle Royale when Hunger Games and Battle Royale are children who are chosen to fight and made to fight each other or die whereas Lord of the Flies they get stranded and turn on each other. Battle royal is a bloody brilliant film, if The Hunger Games is anywhere near as good fun to watch, it will be good in my books. Plus it has Woody Harleson in it. I didn't realise Harrelson was in it. Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks are in it too. It's a 12a though, as opposed to the 18 rating for BR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
