Albino Rover Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 What does he consider his best? As a Danny Boyle scholar I know he's said many times that your first film is your best film. For that reason, I would guess he'd have said Shallow Grave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sunshine was absolutely wonderful up until it's absolutely horrible final act which completely changes the entire mood of the movie, and not for the better either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Pitch Perfect 2 So to carry through on my Pitch Perfect day, I took a rare trip to the local cinema and gave this a bash. Has a nastier feel at times, but all in all it's a good sequel to a fun movie. Still plenty of catchy tunes to keep you tapping your feet along, and they stay true to the characters, apart from the commentators who seem to have been turned up a few notches, but that only makes John even funnier, while Gail loses a bit of her weird charm from the first one. I'd recommend it to folk who liked the first. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Fury- Decent enough second world war film. Brad Pitt is a Nazi-hating tank commander who ends up with a new recruit in his tight knit team. Pretty clichéd stuff but remarkably violent in places. 6.5/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Interstellar- great reviews but I got bored and ended up turning it aff I found it incredibly boring too. It was buttered up for "ambition" and "originality" but I thought it was a failure in just about every way other than expensive effects. Many moments are practically shot-for-shot remakes of scenes from the sci-fi successes, Contact, Sunshine and 2001. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Maybe I need to see Slumdog Millionaire again. I remember it being entertaining enough, but seemed like an expensive TV movie; maybe a Tales of the Unexpected special, only without the rampant misogyny. Know exactly what Dom means about Sunshine, and Shallow Grave is about as good as any of his films TBH. Anyone seen his actual TV movies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) The two he made after The Beach are both excellent. Edited June 3, 2015 by Albino Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Watched Pitch Perfect with the Mrs and actually really enjoyed it. Lots of laughs, some decent songs. It's a chick flick but avoids the usual clichés and of course it helps that it has the delightful Ms Kendrick in it. 9/10 well worth a watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co.Down Hibee Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Jaws My son is doing a GCSE in Moving Image and part of it is bringing people together with film so as a project he's got everyone in the family to name their favourite movie and then we all watch it together and he notes the feedback for his coursework, my turn first so it was this classic, still as good as the first time I saw it ( thought the rubber shark was awful then too ), so many good performances and characters, the iconic Quint character so brilliantly played by Robert Shaw must be one of the best in film ever. Thankfully the kids(15 and 11) liked it well enough ,loved the music. 10/10 Next on the list is the missus choice ..Breakfast at Tiffanys, not sure what a 15 year old boy will make of it but we'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the rape whistle being blown after the guy commits suicide. I found that funny somehow. I think the actors and director didn't know how they wanted to treat the movie, tried to make it a serious action movie when it might've worked better as a comedy I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The fault in our stars Very emotional drama that I thought was written and acted beautifully. Funny, touching and romantic throughout. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenElves Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 A little off topic but has anyone seen john q? I was shocked to discover a denzel film that I had never even heard off! Aye. I seen it a few years ago and thought it was decent. I like most things he's in though, so I might be a bit biased 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
