The Last Film You Watched….. IV

Went to the wonderful 1916 built Cinema in Uckfield last night to see Blue Jasmine…we all had a great laugh at it…nice film – great casting !!

Star Trek Into Darkness

Really rather decent follow-up to the belting 2009 origin story. Must admit, these two films are making me want to watch the originals…!

Hanna

Genetically-modified teenager turned CIA-trained killer goes on the run, with Cate Blanchett trying to track her down. Decent enough wee thriller.

Coogans Bluff – and Hang them High- Clint Eastwood

Memphis Belle……..Yes I know, “Oh not again” but it does give you an idea as to the courage those young Yanks had, in their daylight bombing raids. As with our chaps, so young, guess you had to grow up quick in those days.
10/10

Lincoln .7

Flight with Denzel Washington.

Pitch Perfect

Basically a big budget version of Glee. A lot better, too.

The Girl with the Dragon tattoo on at 10:55 tonight. Film4 (30th Sept)
Brilliant film if you haven’t seen it. First of the Larsson trilogy of films.

Greatest film of all time??!! Sorry to be contentious and side with your ex, Daz, but I’d have to agree with her “OK”. I saw it well after its initial release and found its hype far exceeded the film itself. As is often the case with Spielberg films. His first ever film, The Duel, was, for me one of his best before he got sucked in to being big, brash and mawkish.

She was 30, and she is now my ex. Clearly her idea of “the greatest movie ever made” differs wildly from mine! :p

JAWS

On ITV4 last night – and I had the opportunity to introduce it to someone for the first time!!! She thought it was “OK”….!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

She was only 3 :p

Django Unchained

Second time around. Liked it better, but still strangely “meh” about it.

I will emphatically second that! Have you just seen it again? And the TV series which followed maintained the quality.

Das Boot, Great submariner film during WW2. Must have been terrible being depth charged and hunted.
10/10

A Single Man – Tom Ford’s first film and a highly assured debut with Colin Firth, Susan Sarandon and Matthew Forde.

The Call with Halle Berry

I enjoyed this film very much. For me it did keep you guessing, it never went where you thought it would.

Gladiator

Russell Crowe kicking ass in historic Rome as a fallen general sold into slavery who becomes a gladiator hell-bent on exacting revenge against the people who killed his family. Contains one of the best spine-tingling speeches in history.

Pearl Harbor

Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnet battle the Japanese and compete for the heart of Kate Beckinsale in a so-so big budget war flick directed by Michael Bay. Watch it for what it is, go into it without thinking about Tora! Tora! Tora! and you’ll be fine!

Four Weddings and a Funeral, Anything with Hugh Grant or Simon Callow in it, Lost count of the times I have watched the DVD of it. Fun at it’s best.
10/10

The Client – Joel Schumacher. Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon and Brad Renfro excellent as the 10 year old boy, and sad that subsequently he made few films as good, got involved in drugs and petty felony and eventually died from an accidental heroin overdose aged 25.

Hi All,
High Plains Drifter – Clint Eastwood Not too bad.

Reach for the Sky

I only watch this for the warbird porn these days…!
