Paid Members John Matrix Posted December 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Due to a combination of finances, capacity, attention span and 20 years worth of collated movies gathering damp in a leaky outbuilding, my movie viewing is limited to whatever I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep81 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Dark Knight Rises. Â Still not sure what I thought of it yet, loved Bane - even with the 'adjusted' voice, I do think its a ever so slightly weak end to the epic trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members MichaelScarn Posted December 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 John M - A young Swedish girl started on a placement with my department a couple of years back, her Step-Dad was the MD of the whole UK operation at the time (a well known Truck maker). Â She gave me 'Let The Right One In' as an example of a cracking movie made from her home country. Being the twit I am, I returned the sentiment with my copy of Step Bros, because she was fairly young and always told us about childish scraps with her sisters. The next day she came in red-faced. Turns out she had got the whole family together (2 sisters, Mum and aformentioned Step-Dad) and put it on for them all to enjoy. She said she could have died during the bit where he wipes his balls on the drum-kit. Luckily i'm still employed here, by the skin of my teeth though. Â Love the choice of name by the way, but you could do with a pic of Mr Matrix with ice cream all over his face (as mashed on there by his daughter Chenny), big grin and all, with a photoshopped santa hat on. Please make my dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted December 11, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Cheers fella. Funnily enough, my first sig choice was this: Â Â Lousy quality though, would gladly change it if i can find a better version out there. Â Glad i'm not the only one who calls her Chenny. If you go to Planet Hollywood in Leicester Square, there is an imprint of Alyssa Milano's lips next to the urinal in the gents next to Brooke Sheilds, suffice to say it's the closest i've ever gotten to realising two boyhood dreams in one piss break. Â That's a brilliant story re Step Brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 End of Watch. Very engaging, and great chemistry between the two leads. But I found the shooting style a bit odd, particularly the element of Leukemia Donnie Darko having a camera. It was like a semi-found footage film, except his shots looked very much the same as all the other shots. Weird stuff. The film worked though. yeh it took me a while to get around the way it was shot, it was like cut between their own camera's and a documentary style cam as if it was following them around, only it wasn't...i don't really see what the point of them filming theirselves was? or the gang filming themselves? it made for some an interesting documentary style but it was done in bits and pieces, weird. Â The movie itself i loved, like you said a great, had to be semi-improvised partnership between Gyllenhaal and Pena (Pena deserves more props), the ending was just brutal too, it got my heart racing, that was some intense shit. Â Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fox Piss Posted December 15, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 So just watched "Perks of being a wallflower" Â A lot of people could quit this film halfway through due to thinking it's a American teen film or how annoying the film portraits music but it's a far cleverer film that that... Â SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read The story is crafted absolutely beautifully. It's more than shock ending/surprise ending. It sells it better than that.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted December 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2012 Woy, you doing your film list this year? There's a new lad at work who's clever at films and I need to pretend to know stuff to recommend him, lest I lose face amongst people who previously thought I knew what I was talking about. Cheers.  Here's the first part -- stuff that didn't make the cut but that's still worth discussing, and the worst movies of the year.

Paid Members John Matrix Posted December 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 You must love . Â I've never seen that. I'll have a butchers at the earliest opportunity! Â On another note, i've got Warrior and The Dark Knight Rises sitting in the 'to watch' pile. Do i need to be prioritising one of these, or will as and when suffice?

Sphinx Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Dark Knight Rises. Still not sure what I thought of it yet, loved Bane - even with the 'adjusted' voice, I do think its a ever so slightly weak end to the epic trilogy.  Does anyone else think Bane sounds like Barry Davies? I couldn't shake that thought.  Bought Brian Wilson presents Smile recently which is the documentary based on the Beach Boys album that wasn't released for nearly forty years. It was the most famous album never to be released. Brian Wilson went off the rails and heard Sgt. Pepper's... and was worried that their album didn't match up. I last saw it about a year ago and it was excellent.  You then get a full live performance of the album on the second disc. Since then, Wilson has released a version of how he thinks the album would have gone using the original tracks recorded in the '60s. I prefer it to Sgt. Pepper's... and I am a big Beatles fan. Saying that, Sgt. Pepper's... is probably my fifth or sixth favourite Beatles album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
