Steve Justice Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Watched the Steve Carrell movie Crazy Stupid Love and it was better than I thought. Some real laugh out loud moments which is hard to come by in those romantic comedy with bit of drama thrown in films of late. Can't see the fuss about Ryan Gosling because his acting is a little wooden. It's actually a great film. I wouldn't say Ryan Goslings acting is wooden, it seemed more of a nonchalant approach which added to the chemistry. I also think it's Steve Carrell's best work since The 40 Year Old Virgin.
patiirc Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Saturday night on Channel 4 was interesting for films Avatar- Was erm bobbins. Beautiful to look at, but bobbins nonetheless Alfie (Remake)- Was utterly atrocious Lost Days- Meandered without going through/over much other than being a (something, fogotten the word) for Kurt Cobain

Maybe I've not seen enough Gosling movies. Carrell is fantastic, he was unbelievable in the Office.
Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Put me on the list of people who loved Crazy, Stupid, Love but then with a cast of Carrell, Stone and Gosling I was going to love it. Just watched the original version of Rec, thanks to someone who uploaded it to YouTube with English subtitles. Absolutely terrifying; the last forty minutes I had to watch with the laptop screen slightly turned away. Really enjoyed it. Is Rec 2 worth watching?

Absolutely terrifying; the last forty minutes I had to watch with the laptop screen slightly turned away. Really enjoyed it. Is Rec 2 worth watching? No. The first one was absolutely fantastic, but the second one sort of spoilt it I thought when I watched them back to back. I mean it wasn't horrendous, but they went in a different direction (very mild spoiler) SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read a sort of religious, demonic curse that was really naff. As is often the case with these sorts of things, the 'virus' is often better left unexplained, but I guess they felt if they didn't come up with an explanation then a sequel would be just exactly the same film again.

Twatters Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I'll have to disagree cos i thought REC 2 was great. More of the same, but done really well. And REC 3 looks like it could be alot of fun!
Richie Freebird Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 After watching Godzilla I was hungry for more massive monster madness, so watched the similarly themed flick Gamera (1965). I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than
Loki Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Richie, you should find V: The Winged Serpent and also Alligator, both cracking monster movies set in the US. Edited April 2, 2012 by Loki
Merzbow Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Gamera is the don, you should check out the reboot from the late 90's as they are my all time fav Monster Movies. There is a huge 3D IMAX reboot out this year which i would just love to see but i imagine it'll be Japan only.
King Pitcos Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Can't see the fuss about Ryan Gosling because his acting is a little wooden. I thought the exact same thing in the absurdly overrated Drive (which is the only film I've seen him in, I think) but I assumed that in that, his character was meant to be an aspie or something.
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted April 6, 2012 Paid Members Posted April 6, 2012 It's Q - The Winged Serpent, actually, as in Quetzalcoatl. And yes, American made. Q is by the impeccable Larry Cohen - he was on a heavy roll in the seventies and 80s, and although he took a step back from directing, he did write Phone Booth, which I personally loved. Alligator is by Lewis Teague, and is dumb fun.
ukfan11 Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Watched the 80s version of 1984 with John Hurt, thought it was pretty good, saw quite a few faces from British Comedy in it like Gregor Fisher, Roger Lloyd-Pack and Shirley Stelfox. Is the 1956 version worth watching? Edited April 7, 2012 by ukfan11
