Christophe Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The Book Of Eli 8/10 Loved the ''Kung Fu'' /''Shane'' ''Mad Maxness''. LOVED the ending. Denzil is up there with Damon, and Di Caprio for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Oh yeah and I watched that Headhunters, it's a Norwegian film based on the Jo Nesbo "thriller" - I see people reading Nesbo books on the train so guess they must be quite popular. Anyway this film was fockin' ridiculous, so stupid, can't possibly imagine reading the novel with a straight face. Not that it wasn't entertaining, some inadvertent comedy even but it's proper shite. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It too was fucking ridiculous, it made some Guy Ritchie films look like gritty realism, but it was actually really entertaining. I enjoyed it more than Headhunters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1875 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Bronson - 9/10 Another fantastic performance by Tom Hardy Particularly loved the scenes where he's talking to an audience in a theatre, especially "When Murder Goes Wrong" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesDromops Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Dark truth by Damian Lee. This is a nice movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Is that the one where they win on a football coupon and they work in a Christmas tree factory? That's the one. Their syndicate wins the jackpot and they all fight over it. Totally daft and OTT but I really enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Filth ( 2013 ) I haven't read the book and quite frankly don't care about it either. I thought this movie was utterly incredible and James McAvoy is about as good as the critics seem to be making out. The key word at many points is intense, and the movie dragged me in with ease in so many different ways, whether it be with the humour, or the sadness and of course, the descent of this utter c**t is captivating to watch. As for the ending... Thought it was a bit sudden really. But I did like what seemed to be the realisation that he was fucked, and the "oh well" attitude to it at the very end. ...also worth noting the little credits video before the main credits roll up are well worth watching. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I saw Filth tonight as well. I am a fan of Irvine Welsh and know the book well and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they adapted it to film. A few good performances but obviously McAvoy is the star. Robbo in the book is an absolute c*nt. In the film there are moments you feel sympathy for him. Great job by McAvoy. Wouldn't agree about the spoiler point Dom Dom. Same rules apply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just back from watching Filth. It was excellent and I'm glad it stayed true to the novel. I think me and my girlfriend were the only ones that laughed when Frank Sidebottom came on the screen as we just knew what was coming! I think the whole cast put in good performaces but James Macavoy was outstanding, he totally nailed it. I liked the way they changed the ending ever so slightly from the novel to try and make you feel some compassion for Bruce. I had high expectations for this film and it definitely delivered. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I saw Filth on Thursday and I would agree. 9/10 I enjoyed it so much I was going to go see it again on Friday but I went to see Runner Runner instead which also just cam out. Was all right but nothing brilliant. 6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I went to see it last night with the girlfriend who wasn't very keen on it, but I guess I knew it really wasn't her sort of film and I just dragged her along since I love Irvine Welsh's work. The film done the book justice. Absolutely tremendous performance from McAvoy. Though there was a disturbing lack of tapeworm. Though I guess that would have been hard to implement in the film tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Just sat down to watch Flight for the first time. Is it just me or when Denzel is in a film do you struggle to make out what he is actually saying? I need to concentrate like f**k just to hear him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about the tapeworm tbh. I need to go see this film, if just for the photocopier bit (part of it is in the trailer ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatbhoy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Filth looks like a vile piece of trash no matter how much the comparisons to Shakespearean protagonists and Bruce Robertson are made. Drug taking, imbibing alcohol and perversity - all horrific and amoral. Check the Danish film "In A Better World" 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
