The Film Thread

[Tredman]

Brilliant!! Can not wait for the movie - my favourite comedy ever...

 

[The Bear]

The Office is magnificent.

The Office is magnificent.

Agree, I love it.

The Office is magnificent.

Was good, but needed to stop it sooner (like Fawlty Towers) & leave people wanting more

12 episodes and two specials...not exactly flogging a dead horse.

Could have sworn that there were more than that - must have been watching repeats not realising I had watched them the first time around aperbag_125:

Ricky G knows when to end something. Played it clever with the Brent character as well over the years.

 

[PPB]

David Brent is the spitting image of my ex brother in law , in looks, manner and humour. Probably why he's an ex some of you might think !!

'Divergent '

Didn't think I would enjoy this, but I did, very much . Also, I wish I had hair like Tris.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Mini loved Divergent. She also demolished the books in super quick time.

What did you make of guardians paddy? Thinking of taking my lad to see it tomorrow...

Suitable for kids?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is brilliant fun.

Rocket Raccoon is a fabulous character and has ace lines. Drax the Destroyer (played by Dave Batausta (Batista in WWE)) is great too - he has phenomenal comic timing. Groot is the new Hodor - if you like Game of Thrones you will see what I mean when you watch it. Zoe Saldanha is excellent, as is Karen Gillan. There is also a great little cameo from Glenn Close.

Plot-wise it hits the spot and is very engaging, although probably 15 minutes too long if I am honest. The effects are at least the level of Avengers Assemble. I think it is a fine addition to the Marvel Movie canon.

 

[Premier Quality]

Not too scary or adult? My lad loved (seriously loved) avengers assemble.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No absolutely not. The first scene with the hero seeing his mother die of cancer might be challenging but apart from that there is nothing I would worry about for younger viewers

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I should add - that scene is well done and not a game stopper, just might raise a few questions.

 

[Langers]

Just watched 12 Years A Slave.

Absolutely tremendous film - beautifully directed and the performances from Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor in particular are superb.

But I REALLY need to watch some silly comedy now to cheer myself up!!!

 

[So Long Architect]

Watched American Hustle last night. Highly entertaining. And Amy Adams is very very lovely.

Never fully got going for me, was missing something but not sure what

There were certainly a lot of long lingering shots on Christian Bale's concerned face which slowed it down a bit. I liked Bradley Cooper's rubbish FBI agent though, and Louis CK as his boss was good.

Talking about films that never get going - I watched Blue is the Warmest Colour the other night. Now that's a slow film. 3 hours of close up on a very pretty girl's sulky face gets a bit tired after a while. But it does have a lot of fantastically dirty girl on girl action so not all bad - it's French so it's art and that's all OK.

Are foreign language movies/series dubbed or subtitled in England?
