he is!

Frost/Nixon is the shit homes

more praise

they'll start using this board to put on the movie posters soon

"Frost/Nixon is the shit" says very very wrong indeed's Token bird

I saw Valkyrie the other day. I thought it was pretty good. I was aware of the attempt on Hitler's life by Stauffenberg(from an episode of Red Dwarf if I'm honest) but I was unaware of the complexities of it.

I was slightly disappointed by the lack of nordic-looking armoured warrior women though!

Sherrers wrote:I liked it.

My theory is basically... killer robots and spaceships. What's not to like? I apply that rule to any film.

Yes I liked it too, lots of plot holes/inconsistancies that the terminator geeks have picked up on, however I thought it was entertaining action and special effects all the way.

If Bridgette Neilsen's not in it, you've got to think twice. Or so says Flavour Flav.

I will never tire of that. A Forum classic.

Anybody seen any corkers lately I am a bit behind on my movie intake?

I saw "The Reader" lately which moved me greatly. Also "Grand Turino" which was a tour de force.

However all I want to see is Transformers 2.

Robots... spaceships... etc etc

not seen them. i will check em out.

Star Trek in IMAX was awesome. And I think Chico's contribution has already been discussed.

Watchmen is out on DVD. What's your general opinion on film adaptations of Alan Moore's work Tim?

this week I have mostly been watching

"Black Snake Moan" liked it.
"Doctor Who" reluctantly
"The Red Riding Trilogy" I was well looking forward to it but got a bit depressed by how professionally northern it is (gas works, rain, corruption, pints etc etc)
"Chocolate" more top Thai chopsocky, this time with added disabled child heroine!
"Waterloo" Rod Steiger at his best.
"Let The Right One In". Best vampire film ever.
"The Wire" started from the beginning. Been trying not to re-watch it for about a year

really want to see let the right one in

I say! I thought it was a work of stark and brooding excellence! and that is my professional opinion.

And i second Al with my amateur opinion!


spent your birthday on the couch didn't you tim?

yes. with a load of fine wine.

I also watched all the last of the Soprano's final series (rubbish)
"So I Married An Axe Murderer" (always raises a titter)
"Brick" (v. good)
"Crouching Tiger, Cheeky Monkey" ( I love it! can't see it too often)
"Watchmen" with "Tales of The Black Freighter"

you told me you hate kung fu films!


MY copy of Watchmen BTW! before I got to see it. How nerdy is this for an excuse :

"I want to watch them together before they splice it all together with the missing bits back in"


weirdo

it's a lovely romance!

you love a nice rom-com too...


you love musicals as well I bet

saw inglorious basterds last night

the film is all over the shop, but its really good in parts

and christoph waltz is excellent

ah but Tarantino is "postmodern". Which I think is french for 'all over the shop'

Token Bird wrote:ah but Tarantino is "postmodern". Which I think is french for 'all over the shop'

I'll give that a LOL. Can't decided whether to see this or not, I barely coped with the ear scene in Dogs.

Token Bird wrote:you love a nice rom-com too...

I don't for the same reason I can't do kung-fu films. I can handle Crouching Tiger etc because they have set a scene which is a bit 'fantasy' so I can handle people flying about. But in action films or musicals it just doesn't work for me when people just break into song or start knocking the shit out of each other. Maybe they should combine the two

It's a bit like porn. The action/songs/shagging are the reason and the plot and characters are incidental.


Tarantino is a plagiarist of the highest order. He steals but steals well. Inglorious Bastards is already a film. His is a remake. As was Reservoir dogs.

plus he SO rock and roll and a cuuuuRAZY rebel he spelled it 'basterds' so as not to offend America. Silly bastard.

having said all that I will probably love it like I do all his films.



again... "deathproof" was a pastiche.... but I loved it.
