WarHorse is sh1t.

[Huguenot]

Just enjoyed The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Lots of gratuitous and occasionally unnecessary (and disturbing) sex. However, that aside I was intrigued by the apparently huge variance in boob size.

[maxxi]

On the girl or the dragon?

[Marmora Man]

Off to see The Artist tonight.

Will report back

Hardly unnecessary sex - it was all in the book wasn't it?

I enjoyed the Hollywood remake more than I was expecting to - but then again Daniel Craig may have had something to do with that!

Saw Iron Lady this weekend - subject matter aside - I thought Meryl Streep did a fantastic job.

Didn't enjoy Warhorse as much as the stage version - couldn't believe how many small kids had been taken to see it - lots of images of war and dead horses - surely not good viewing for little uns?

Lastly saw Shame last night - not one to see with your parents or on a first date!

Michael Fassbender was very impressive - in more ways than one!

You have to see Catfish. Just seen in on More4. Wow.

[Marmora Man]

The Artist - a must see. Within minutes the fact that it's silent and black & white is totally forgotten as you become absorbed in the plot and the characters. It is not a pastiche - it works on many levels and there are many really clever and subtle touches.

Recommended.

Tho' I do find it hilarious that, reportedly, a number of cinema goers are walking out when they discover it is a B&W silent film - and in significantly greater numbers in Liverpool than elsewhere. Does they not read a review before buying a ticket?

Have just read about how Hunger games is some big film or other.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17507922

I can't help but wonder what the fuss is all about. Am I missing something or is it just a glossy remake of Battle Royale?

warhorse - the poor nag should have been put down about 3 minutes into the film to spare us the truly awful cloying sepia tinted sentimental crap that followed. I would sooner live in liverpool and have a crippling skag habit than have to ensure this shite ever again. It seemed to last as long at the geat war itself.

One day - Anne Hathaway & her curious Daphney from Frasier accent should have been knocked down in the opening sequence to spare us the horror of the following hour and a half of orchestrated emoblub that lurched along, seeminlgly without any kind of end. I wanted to end it all by the 37 minute mark.the final / tacked on the end for American audiences bit made me want to lash out as random passers by on lordship lanje and await the delighful relative treat of a TSG tazering and routine kicking in the cells.

Black Swan - bloody hell. a metaphor too far for me. Portman should hve topped herself at the start to give the audience the chance of an early night at the adventure bar. Actually, an night at the Grove on magners would be a better idea than watching black bloody swan.The urge to shout out " go on, cut yourself, but this time do the fucking wrists" did not impress to cats bum faced victims who were seemingly enjoing it.

The Artist - better than I thought & a worthy film, but worthy of 423 oscars ? Hmmm , just goes to show how bad the competition was in 2011. better than a night at the Bishop, but thats hardly difficult.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but "The Help" is a fantastic, if somewhat heartbreaking film. Only criticism is that the makers couldn't help themselves in giving it that slightly optimistic American gloss. Has some great humour to lighten up the story, without which it would probably make you slit your own wrists.

Saw Hunger Games last night - OK "ish". Only went as in strange town with nothing very much to do. Passed two hours but was strangely univolved - the story didn't ever click. The original book may have been too big and too detailed to compress into a two hour movie.

Wanted to see Wild Bill - but have to wait for that.

[El Pibe]

and was it a glossy remanke of Battle Royale or did it have some other point to make other than the demonisation of children and the absurdity of the public hunger for outrageous entertainment.....and schoolgirls in knee high socks?

[Jeremy]

Hunger Games is a family-friendly version of BR, by the sounds of it.

[siousxiesue]

Saw 'Postion among the stars' which was brilliant, from Indonesia. Just stunning, part 3 of a trilogy although I didn't see the other two. A fly on the wall film of the daily life and struggles of a poor family, laughs and tears.

[Otta]

"Chatroom" Film 4, 11:25pm tonight.

Stumbled across this film a few months back, and thought it was quite an original and well done film.

[El Pibe]

Just watched Dogtooth.

Oh....my.

Sort of Truman Show meets Josef Fritzl via Big Brother.

I think it was funny, which wouldn't account for my typing this from behind the sofa.

[Otta]

Last night we watched "Carnage", a 4 person play based ona play called "Gods of Carnage".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1692486/

It starts off cringingly uncomfortable, and slides in to, for want of a better word, carnage. I thought it was really funny, and really well acted.

Highly recommended.

[Medley]

Currently watching and very much enjoying The Asphalt Jungle.

I saw "Taken 2", and thought it was a brilliantly acted, realistic, and gritty study of how a family unit might cope with an abduction scenario.

[codebrewery]

I watched "Taken" last night for the first time in a long time and forgot how entertaining the film is. The fact it isn't a remake or a sequel certainly helps.

[Otta]

You guys are joking about "Taken", right?

[StraferJack]

one of them is, one of them isn't

I think

[Otta]

That's what I figured. Jeremy is DEFINITELY not joking! ;-)

[Jeremy]

How about Fast & Furious 5, have you guys seen that?
