    DVDs and Films You Have Watched Recently #2

    in Off-Topic Gold

    Posted · Edited by Stephanie

    Last film I saw was 'The American' at the cinema last week. It was dull as fuck. Usually I'm a fan of George Clooney movies, but I didn't enjoy it at all.

     

    We rented Ghost Writer this week, it's definitely worth a watch. It has Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan in it. I'd never heard of it before I saw a trailer for it on another DVD we rented weeks before. I'm also quite disturbed that Pierce Brosnan seems to be in a lot of movies I've seen recently. Ewan plays a Ghostwriter that's been employed to complete the memoirs of the former British Prime Minister. It's a Roman Polanski movie.

     

    The next movie I want to see is The Town with Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner. It came out here today.

    Off to see The American tonight... :)

     

    Last movie I saw was Seven Pounds (after seeing someone post about it in the tear-jerkers thread) and it was so heartbreaking! I love Will Smith and he didn't disappoint. Although I really need to stop watching such sad movies. I felt the impact of it for a couple of days, made me think about my own mortality. Rosario Dawson was a great as always too.

     

    Saw Karate Kid (remake) last week too. As there was no way I was paying full price to watch it, we went to see it at the cheap theatre. Which is when a movie has been out for a while or doesn't do very well, they play it there. It's only $2 so I'll go and watch the movies I'm not sure about instead of paying $10.

     

    I thought it was shit, quite frankly. Far too long and at one point I actually fell asleep.

     

    The only other stuff that came out here recently is Takers, Lottery Ticket, Piranha 3D and The Last Exorcism.

     

    The first three look like utter garbage. I refuse to pay to see ANYTHING with Chris Brown in it. As for The Last Exorcism, every Exorcism film I've ever seen (except The Exorcist) has been a massive fail.

    The Other Guys and Dinner For Schmucks were the last couple of films I saw over here. They were both hilarious.

     

    I have no idea if they've been released in the UK yet or not.

     

    Before that I saw Salt. It was okay, I just believe Angelina looks far too frail to pull off the action.

    Inception.

     

    Went to see it at a special midnight showing last night. I'm not gonna say too much because most won't have seen it yet but it's not very often I walk out of a cinema with chills. It was without a doubt the best film I have seen in years. I was completely amazed and will definitely be seeing it again at the next opportunity.

    Congratulations MAT, hope everything goes well with the pregnancy. I'm hoping my little sister has some similar news over the next couple of years. Don't want to put a downer on things but she's had 2 ectopics within the space of 18 months and now has no fallopian tubes so is now on the IVF waiting list. I would happily give up my child bearing abilities if it meant she could have children, even though I want kids eventutally. It's just been so heartbreaking to see her go through it, once was bad but the second time was devastating. Especially since the first time it all happened due due to NHS neglect. They told her she was pregnant and sent her home ignoring the fact that she had severe pain all down once side. 12 hours later she was having emergency surgery clinging onto her life. Could have all been avoided. On a more positive note things are looking good for the future, she has a very very good chance of getting pregnant and having a child through IVF. It's not the getting pregnant that's the problem it was getting it through the tube down into the womb but IVF should sort that for her. Bless her, she's totally my hero. She's been to hell and back over the past couple of years and is still smiling!!

    This post is a bit late and I haven't really got anything more to add than what's already been said/discussed. I honestly cannot get my head around what's happened and find myself sitting watching TV and my mind wanders onto Chris, Nancy and Daniel. I'm still pretty much shell-shocked by it and that Chris could do such a thing. Every day I'm hoping to wake up and look on the internet to find it's all been a big mistake which I know is never going to happen. The thought of what Chris did to his wife and son makes me feel physically sick and I'm absolutely torn because I can't bring myself to hate him. I don't know how to feel at all!

    RIPEarthquake was one of my favourites when I was a nipper because he had the same birthday as me. I found that out from one of the sticker albums I had when I was at Junior School. I have fond memories.

    I've seen loads of DVD's recently but the one that springs to mind is Dicso Pigs. It was really good but it's so tragic. Cillian Murphy is amazing, that it all.Also, has anyone seen Glengarry Glen Ross? It's a film we were all told to watch by one of the Senior Directors of the company I work for to inspire us!! :D

    I'm currently reading Deception Point by Dan Brown. It's excellent so far, very complex but easy to read at the same time. I've also read The Da Vinci Code, Angels + Demons and Digital Fortress. Angels and Demons is my favourite by Dan Brown. I'm really looking forward to The Da Vinci Code film. Although I am slightly disappointed at the casting of Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. I am prepared to eat my words though!Tess Gerritsen is also one of my favourite authors and have just bought some more of her books.

    WHAT PLAY YOU?

    Has anybody played the new Tomb Raider? Thoughts?

    Yup, I think the graphics are breathtaking. It's very different to any of the other games but it's nice to see Lara back doing what she does best. I liked Angel of Darkness but it just didn't feel like Tomb Raider plus it was full of bugs.
