latest film/ dvd you have seen

[monkey_roo]

Just been stuck in the US with work for a few weeks. The place where my office is, is very, very quiet (statistically the second safest city in the US I believe, which translates as one of the dullest) anyway there is a very nice cinema there, and as I have two little ones under 5 I never get the chance to go in the UK, that said I do have tickets for Batman at the IMAX soon . Anyway with little else to do in this Us town I went to the cinema five times in five days:

Pixar's Brave - great film, lovely story and the animation is stunning, a must watch film if you love that sort of film

Ted - hands down the most offence comedy I have seen in years, it rocked. If you love Family guy, American dad, bad 1980's references and the idea of a degenerate teddy bear screwing ladies of the night this is one for you.

Prometheus - as I had been warned not to get all Alien about it my expections were low, that said I enjoyed it as a si-fi film in its own right, if not cinema then a solid DVD film.

Snow White and the Huntsmen - solid and enjoyable film, loved the grittier tone and the fact it was more in tune with the true nature of fairy tales

The Amazing Spiderman - hands down the best spiderman film yet. Perfectly cast and a nice tight story to begin the trilogy as planned. A must see film, but avoid that 4D rubbish that is doing the rounds, just hurts the back after a while

:lol: You picked the best week to go away Matt!

I've been waiting for Ted ever since it was announced. It doesn't open in the UK until the 1st August though

The trailer for anyone that's interested

That actually looks pretty funny. Is it at the cinema or out on DVD?

 

[silver grin]

Already out in the US but released at the cinema on 01 August Pete. Hopefully it will get a good release now that Family Guy is more well known...

 

[monkey_roo]

Yeah lucked out with Ted, it was only out as a last minute thing as GI Joe got delayed.
For me it was literally pee your pants funny and the best bits are not in the trailer, which can be the case some times. And not forgetting Mila Kunis! A welcom addition to any film

Not read this thread before.

Finally watched The Kings Speech last night, bloody excellent, really really good.

Last film which i watched thinking, i want to tell others to watch this is "Senna" and "Tell No One" (French film version of Harlan Coben's classic book. Harlen Coben rocks.

I also took the kids to watch the Muppets on Saturday, that film was frickin hilarious, minominom!

Lookin forward to Bond late this year

 

[monkey_roo]

Before Bond (which looks Great) ere is the small matter of that tiny sleeper indie film - The Dark Knight Rises to get through my IMAX tickets arrived the other day, the only down side is I have to wait until the 28th Aug as that was the earliest book I could get...

 

[jabbawokkie]

Game of Thrones is epic...

I am trying so hard to avoid reading the books so as to not ruin ant surprises coming in season 3...

Still hoping to Sean Bean come back as Starks ghost a la Kenobi style.

Don't - give in and read them, it'll take six months but worth it and in no way will it detract from the TV show, if anything it will heighten your anticipation

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

I agree. i have thread say 100 pages or so and already loving it!

 

[Grant_C]

Just watched DARK KNIGHT RISES.

Thought JONNY DEPPS cameo as JOKER was awesome surprise.
(not really)

The Amazing Spiderman ••••

cheers , i am still on season one so no point warming to starks lol .

anyone watch sparticus ,been told to get this if i like game of thrones

 

[monkey_roo]

Just finished watching This Means War, 21 Jump Street, Rampart and Contraband.

The first two are good fun films but mostly forgettable when done, a pleasant way to spend a few hours in front of the box, watch out for a great Jonny Depp cameo in Jump Steet (if you are a fan of 80 US TV shows it will mean more).

Rampart just tried too hard and to be honest got boring fast, good acting though, just pointless.

Contraband was watchable but again, nothing new as a heist film and in that area not the best, one to watch if nothing else is on I'd say.

 

[jabbawokkie]

watched goon last night ,nice feel good film with a bit of blood .

 

[poncho]

watched ice pirates last night a 1980s scifi comedy, i quite enjoyed it! its worth a download 6/10

 

[JuniorChubb]

anyone watch sparticus ,been told to get this if i like game of thrones

I have been told Sparticus is a great watch. I have too fond memories of the original to give it a go though....

I AM SPARTICUS.....
No I'm Sparticus, I'm Sparticus, Hey I'm Sparticus
No I'm Sparticus, I'm Sparticus, Hey I'm Sparticus
No I'm Sparticus, I'm Sparticus, No I'm Sparticus
No I'm Sparticus, I'm Sparticus, No I'm Sparticus
No I'm Sparticus, I'm Sparticus, No I'm Sparticus

What a scene... still brings a tear to my eye

 

[Grant]

The Amazing Spiderman. Watched it with my Padawans at the weekend. It was quite good. 8)

 

[speaner]

Just enjoyed the Daparted and really like it.

 

[jackabina]

Just about to take the boy to see spiderman.............................................I'll let you know my verdict in a few hours

 

[jackabina]

Just got back. Though it was good as a stand alone film although why they did a re-make rather than a continuation, I don' get.
Oh, and Andy Murry played Spiderman, which was a nice touch!

Gotta agree. Im not sure why they felt the need to remake the remake. I do think this was a better than the one that had the Goblin tho. 8)

Went to see the Bourne Legacy yesterday Fantastic Highly Recommended! 8)

 

[plantman]

I watched cabin in the woods.....it got rave reviews on the net, but tbh i thought it was a bag of arse.

I wont tell you the "twist" but its a weird one, you get a nice cameo from sigorney weaver though lol

 

[Frunkstar]

In Time - great idea behind it, all humans are genetically engineered to only reach 25 years of age & then stop ageing so you stay 25 forever, trouble is then you only get another year to live & have to buy time but working for it, great concept & could have been one of the best new si fi in decades, sadly it is a little limited as they rushed through it & bit, still a great watch that had me hooked, but such a shame as they could have made so much more out of it, but ain't that the story with 99% of modern films
