Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 just got back from seeing Crazy Stupid Love. really enjoyed it though with the cast it had, i was hooked from when i first saw the trailer a few months back and wasnt really disappointed. sure it was verging on Love, Actually territory and the ending was very "hollywood", but the cast totally made the characters enjoyable for me and i was pleasantly surprised by the twists as they came. the young actress who played the babysitter was particularly good i thought whereas i expect great stuff from carrell, moore, stone and gosling, anyway. carrell plays lovable loser very, very well and it might be too repetitive for some who have seen the office, 40 year old virgin, date night and dan in real life; but i thought there were enough plot threads to keep it from being stale and tbh i love the guy, regardless. the jacob character could have been a really unlikable dick in the hands of a less talented actor, but gosling wins me over time and time again. emma stone is simply charming once more. Â also marissa tomei is a stone-cold fox and it delighted me to hear the two women in their fifties sat behind me, jealously bitch about her when she first appeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 25, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2011 Went to see Drive yesterday, and what a flick it was. I thought it was incredible and easily the best flick I've seen in years. Couldn't wait to see it again, and low and behold, there's a Screener up this morning on the usual places...

Dork Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere in this thread but Mad Men is fucking brilliant. Â Watched the first 3 series in the last few weeks and just started the fourth - I love it. Â It's pushing The Wire as my favourite show. Ever. Â Any fans out there?

Doog Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just recently started watching HOUSE. Â Can't believe i've not seen it earlier, absolutely love it. Have only watched Season One so far, but i've already ordered the DVD's for the next few seasons. Watched Season 1 in about 4 days I got into it that much. Â I was a bit concerned at first that every episode was 'samey', but the character development keeps it ticking over, Hugh Laurie is just sensational, really enjoying his character. The detox episode and the one where he went on a monster truck date were my favourite's I think seeing how his character showed in them two. Â Any one else a fan? Assume there's a lot better to come in the later seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Stephanie Posted September 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 Revolutionary Road. Can't believe I hadn't even seen it up until now since I'm a big DiCaprio fan. It was nice to see Kate Winslet and Leo together again all these years after Titanic. I thought the film was fantastic, very sad, but fantastic. They are both great actors.

Loki Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I assume you've all been to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy? If you haven't, do so. It's ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_kahoona Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Devil  5 people are stuck in an elevator, one of them is the Devil  simple premise and simply done movie. I certainly would class this as a B style movie, it doesnt have a big movie feel to it and I dont see repeat viewings for it but it was certainly worth the original viewing. Great if you like Twilight Zone style stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It was about 1AM and I wasn't tired enough to sleep, yet was too tired to commit myself to anything too demanding. So, I put on Bad Teacher. Cameron Diaz's performance is a lot better than I was expecting. She's markedly better than the script overall, which seems desperately raunchy at times. Â Just about average stuff overall, anchored by the performances of the leads, but just a shame that it never reaches its potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 27, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 Cameron Diaz is a cracking actress. I get the impression that she has played it easy for the most of his career, like she's not confident enough in her own ability to break out from comedy. She doesn't mind making a tit of herself and sending herself up, and she doesn't mind being made to look unglamorous. She's quality but I'd love to see her break out of her comfort zone and do a lot more serious stuff and show her range. Â Plus, she's just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Justice Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Watched Horrible Bosses over the weekend. I didn't find it as funny as I thought I would. I found the little bearded bloke quite annoying (why shout throughout the whole film?), and Aniston has ruined herself with surgery. Although I did enjoy her talking filthy.
