Off Topic Film (movie for Ellewood) thread

Good film that..miles better than lost in translation.

 

I thought Hologram for the King was awful.

Lost in Translation is a fantastic film.

 

Each to their own i guess..i thought lost in translation overrated and hologram for the king underrated

 

Day 221, film 221," chef", love this film....

 

Sat through "Grimsby" at the weekend , i cant stand SBC's type of comedy , it really is the most simplistic , end of the pier ****e .
Most of the "comedy " had already been done to death in Shameless , (which i gave up on around season 4)
Some of the bits with Mark Strong were OK though . . . if you like Russell Brand style of japes then this may be worth a watch , i thiought it was crap tho

 

Mrs mops choice tonight.....
Day 222, film 222," my sisters keeper", **** sake !!!

 

I'm filling the absence of decent new films and lack of football with more TV series. Seems to be the way things are going.

I would add the currently running "The Night Of" to my previous shout for "Mr Robot". Again not perhaps for action fans, but great filming and intriguing and relevant story lines. The Night Of is based on a 2008 BBC series called "Criminal Justice" which I haven't seen either.

Any recommendations for other good films which might have slipped under the radar over the years would be most welcome.

 

Another day, another film4 offering..
Day 223, film 223," prisoners"

 

Was advised to watch The Purge trilogy of films today, gonna give 'em a go at the weekend.

 

Worth a watch... a more grown up Hunger Games.

---

A very good documentary here on the ongoing crisis in the Western Sahara. Little known and rarely covered.

 

Watched Deadpool earlier. Needed to remind myself that there were some good comic book films this year after the ****e DC has put out.

 

Oh **** it, film 4 again......
Day 224, film 224,"Paul"
And now " the big lebowski"

 

Day 225, film 225," a history of violence"

 

Day 226, film 226," savages"

 

Day 227, film 227," 3.10 to Yuma"
A re-make I know but I like it...

 

Decent run of films that Red Top Reader, not seen that Savages though so can't comment on that one. Big Lebowski is one film that avoided a sequel even though I bet there are a few movie moguls licking their lips at the thought

 

Black Snake Moan... wouldn't recommend. Worst I have seen Samuel L.Jackson in I think. Some interesting themes but all of them badly addressed.

Exploitative and uncomfortably pervy. Some good music but not from Sam.

Going to follow Rtr with Savages.

 

Darts tonight so film watch this afty. Pulp fiction or A N Other. Shall check the lads film collection
Went with a bit o pulp...
Day 228, film 228," pulp fiction"
Brilliant !!!

 

The Coens would never allow it, thankfully, at least unless they themselves were making it.

 

I read up on it, they say they plan to make a sequel to Barton Fink but not Lebowski but are waiting for the actor to get older so that they can do it. Barton Fink, I need to watch that again great film!
