tongue_tied_danny Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Django for me the first hour was brillant but just lost it's way a bit after that Yip, it was far too long. I thought it was never going to fucking end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) They're trying to hype up Filth as some kind of most shocking film ever thing, is it? I've got me doubts, i've read the book, thought it was pretty weak, and Glue even worse. Seen the posters for it and not really fancying it.

sonofjenova Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Filth (the novel) 's weakness was that it tried to be too taboo, and the decent ideas got lost in a wave of shocking acts which you got a bit desensitized too as the story went on. I think a bit of sanitisation would benefit the film (if that is the case; not seen it yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Think Marabou Stork Nightmares is probably THE most shocking book by Welsh. Proper wincing moments to be had. Probably be impossible to be put onto film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatbhoy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Caught a couple of good films recommended by posters on here. Warrior & Starter for 10; both thoroughly enjoyable. Dom Dom et al might provide a decent source of information. There are a lot of idiots on thus site but this thread is worth reading.

Bert Raccoon Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thought the film was crap, mcavoy was good however the story even to someone who hadn't read the book was predictable and the lack of any real insight into the police was really off putting for me in terms of so much of it was completely inaccurate (by that I don't mean the 'taboo' stuff) no way would any of promotions have actually happened etc so it makes it hard to relate to the character? ^^^Filth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saulgoodman Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 star trek into darkness - 6/10 - enjoyable but nothing special Zero dark thirty - 8/10 Very good film. Drags on a little at times but certainly a must see! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Blue Jasmine was surprisingly very, very good. Kate Blanchett was great. The ending was a little weak but I'd recommend going to see it. 8/10. Went to see Filth again afterwards. It's just so good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Anyone seen Sunshine On Leith yet? Thinking of going to see it. I fucking LOVE the song, Hibs fans singing it at the cup final was amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t1t3h Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I seen Precious was on BBC 2 tonight, what is everyones thoughts on it? I thought it was excellent when I watched it last year. Gabourey Sidibe's performance was incredible. I've recorded it but to be honest, I'm not really sure if I want to watch it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatbhoy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Before Midnight - A film I can appreciate despite actively not enjoying a lot of it. The whole thing seemed designed to make viewing it uncomfortable - the really long takes, the sound of Ethan Hawke eating an apple on tape, the impending sense of dread etc.It just seemed painfully realistic in portraying marriage/family. Rather enjoying a mid-20s couple meandering around Vienna but feeling strong anxiety at the portrayal of the middle aged version is probably a blotch test for fear of commitment and probable psychopathy but that's how it went down for me. I thought this was accurate. The sacrifice that they made to be together caused the separation between Jesee and his son and Celine spotted this early on. I think the love of romantic love is destructive because it always loses its appeal. However the climactic scene didn't really offer a resolution as to set the scene for more rows and more division. I much preferred Before Sunrise but Before Midnight was definitely a realistic portrayal of a relationship that hasn't been nurtured and lacks true love in the shape of painful compromise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The place beyond the Pines 7.5/10 I really enjoyed this, with the structure of cutting the plot into three seperate chronological parts. The last part was a little bit disappointing, but I felt that was more because the first two thirds of it were so excellent that it was hard to match the standard. I still liked the whole cyclical feel I got from it's ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
