Savage Henry Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Spellbound on channel four, a documentary about American spelling bees. 10/10. Riveting, appalling and heartbreaking in equal measures. I'm so glad I don't like shite films. Like Closer, the worst film in the history of the world ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't really see how it could have riveting, appalling or heartbreaking... let alone all three! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I watched The Gangs Of New York the other day again when I was laid up. Thats twice I have watched it now and I still dont really know if I liked it or not. Mind you I was pished the first time I watched it. Take away Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Bill the Butcher though and there would no doubt it would have been a pile of pish. Leonarda Di Caprio and Cameron Diaz were way out their depth in it and her character is laughable. I will give it pass marks though due to Ford Kiernan's performance as one of the fire chieves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against the odds, he learns to love again, thanks to a new teacher played by Tom Hanks. Sadly, the bee then contracts HIV, and spends his dying days befriending homeless bees and teaching them to play basketball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I went to see a couple of films last weekend with the missus. First one was Sideways, which I thought was good. I don't really go for most comedy films, the kind of slapstick humour that seems to be all pervading these days doesn't really appeal to me. I had seen one of the directors previous films (Election) and I really enjoyed it and Sideways was also enjoyable. It was kind of slow, but I liked that and it built up to be very funny indeed by the end. There was a touch of melancolia about it as well which I liked. Overall - 7/10 A couple of days later we went to see Sahara after finding ourselves at a loose end. It was a complete load of pish but was enjoyable in a brainless kind of way. It's the kind of film you'd watch on telly when you've nothing to do and relatively enjoy it. I'd give it 5/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandbairn Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Sounds a better plot than a film about a spelling bee! 472734[/snapback] I thought it might have been a docu-film about how young kids are really put under strain in those spelling bees... so I got it totally wrong twice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSam Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Last film I went to see was Closer. Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. Was more of a character study than a film really. Natalie Portman is lovely but to balance that I hate Jude Law. Couldnt care less about the other two. Wouldnt really recommend it I dont think, but Ive seen worse - much worse. Id say 4/10. Watch it if it comes on Sky and theres nothing better on. 472357[/snapback] You went to see that with a lady friend though, right? I want to see it purely for Clive Owen. I love Clive Owen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I started watching Shark Tale earlier. Its a lot of pish and I turned it off after half an hour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSam Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Danny Dyer 472738[/snapback] Last films I watched were The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy. First one got 9/10 from me, the second wasn't as good as the first so 7/10 for that/ I watched Gothika a few weeks ago too, starring Halle Berry. I love it when a film ends and you go "Eh, what? " I didn't see that one coming! 8/10 for that one. Don't bother going to the cinema, I get bored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Or at least half of it. Utter, utter pish. Wasted a DVD-R and a rental from blockbuster on that shyte! 0/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metric 'Ton Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Theatre: Hotel Rwanda - Absolutely fantastic. Amazing acting. 9/10 DVD: Almost Famous - Alright, but overrated. I'd heard people raving on but I wasn't that impressed. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
