forehead7 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I was watching a film, can't remember what it was called cause I fell asleep just before it started, woke up for half an hour in the middle then dozed off again. Was pretty good though, a solid 6/10. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Anyone seen the boondock saints ? Worth a watch? Not if you're a cat lover. Sorry, I fell asleep during that. It was good though. I particularly enjoyed the sad violin soundtrack while I slept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy over the past day, love study leave. For the trilogy as a whole, 9.5/10. Couple wee faults I had When Aragorn is knocked off the cliff with the wild hog thing, his body floats ashore, that wouldn't have happened. If Gandalf is a wizard then why doesn't he do the Star Wars force-like move that Saroman did to him at the start of the first one to the various towers/battering rams/catapults that the enemies use to try and take Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith? I also hate the character of Golem, not like I hate Saroman or Sauron, just don't like the whole idea of the character and the way the story with Frodo ends, although I love how the ring affects him and his slow descension into madness. Looking back it's amazing how many stars of today are in it, McKellen, Lee, Mortensen, Wood, Monaghan, Tyler, Weaving, Bloom, Bean. Sure there's others I've forgotten edit: Cate Blancett and John Noble as well Edited January 14, 2011 by forehead7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwififer Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 the kings speech - 10/10. Oscar written all over it, it really was that good. Go and see it, the picture was completely full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 If Gandalf is a wizard then why doesn't he do the Star Wars force-like move that Saroman did to him at the start of the first one to the various towers/battering rams/catapults that the enemies use to try and take Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith? Tolkien was once asked why the eagles just didn't take Frodo and Sam to Mount Doom, let him drop the ring in, and then fly him home. His reply? "Because then there would have been no story." I imagine it's along the same lines - the battles at Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith would have been over in a jiffy had Gandalf gotten his magic on. Incidentally (don't know if you've ever read the book), the Battle of the Hornburg (the proper name for the battle at Helm's Deep) only took up one chapter out of twenty-four, and in the film it takes up a good half hour or so! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I haven't read the books. Got them though and I might end up reading them. It was just a thought that occurred to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 bortal boy. To be honest it was fairly poor. An alright idea but it wasn't well produced or made. 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 American Gangster Quite a good watch. Crowe and Washington both put in very good performances - especially Crowe is was outstanding, not quite "Cinderella Man" but still a very good performance. The moment when Frank Lucas walks out of the church only to see Richard Roberts waiting for him infront of a police car was fantastic. Whilst it was good, the rest of the cast seemed quite weak (although perhaps because the story is centred around Lucas and Roberts they can allow for a weak supporting cast). 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I thought the plot was easy enough to understand, but as I said, there were a few things going on which I didn't quite get. A brilliant movie though. I'm going to get a few more of his DVD's. Fopp were doing a few of them for £7 a piece. Porco Rosso I was recommended, My Neighbour Called Totoro and Ponyo, so they'll be getting bought. I bought all 18 movies for £16ish (+P&P) from eBay in a box-set. I'll be watching Collateral tonight on Film 4. Sounds really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I also hate the character of Golem, not like I hate Saroman or Sauron, just don't like the whole idea of the character and the way the story with Frodo ends, although I love how the ring affects him and his slow descension into madness. when you get round to reading the books i think you'll appreciate Gollum a little bit more. Gollum represents the effect of the ring, how it twists and warps good people into doing somethings they wouldnt. Gollum has the ring for a very very long time hence his dependancy on it, he wants it back. you see how this has affected Bilbo and Frodo. the only thing is, the films make it look like its taken a few months but IIRC its 4 years or so it takes place over. read the books then rewatch the films. you'll see it all in new light (make sure you start with the Hobbit) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarko_son Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 after buying it ages ago, finally got round to watching the bank job, jason statham in a non action role is pretty odd but wasn't too shabby at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Four years!?! I definitely didn't get that on any viewings of the film. Lazy b*****ds should move a little quicker! I'm pretty certain its actually longer than 4 years. Sadly films can't go into as much depth as books but Gollum is probably the most intriguing character in the netire film simply because he completely warped. Im just gutted certain characters missed out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
