Let's have a films thread.

Saw that. Watching snooker now which has finished early.

[Guest ttfn]

Saw Wolf of Wall Street today.

I loved it. Thought it was a (very slightly) more relatable version of Goodfellas. Di Caprio's second wife in it is absolutely ridiculous.

It's not going to win any prizes for subtlety but it was good fun.

[Mickey O'Neil]

Watched Cemetery Junction tonight.

Found it enjoyable and well worth watching. Was expecting bad things after the comments on here.

The Seasoning House ,decent horror thriller about a mute girl who gets revenge on the soldiers that killed her family

 

[hairy]

This weekend I watched Kick Ass II - was alright, funny in places. I also watched Captain Phillips which is one of the better films I have seen recently.

I'd give American Hustle a solid 7/10 didn't expect to be drawn in as much as I was, very well acted by all the leads. Before I went in I had the mindset that it was going to drag but it was the complete opposite.

Oscar-winning director Quentin Tarantino has dropped his latest project, a Western called The Hateful Eight, after it apparently leaked out to Hollywood agents.

The filmmaker said he learned of the leak when his office started getting calls from agents pitching their acting clients for roles.

Speaking to film website Deadline, Tarantino said he only "gave it to six people".

He added he was "very, very depressed."

Tarantino, who won best original screenplay at last year's Oscars for Django Unchained, said: "I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn't mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now."

Django Unchained was nominated for five Oscars

The 50-year-old said he now plans to publish the script as a book and revisit the prospect of a movie after a few years.

The director told Deadline that he had given the script to three actors, including Tim Roth, who appeared in his first two films, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

"The one I know didn't do this is Tim Roth," he said. "One of the others let their agent read it, and that agent has now passed it on to everyone in Hollywood."

Tarantino himself initially announced the project in November last year to US chat show host Jay Leno.

He has now said: "I'll publish it. I'm done. I'll move on to the next thing" but said he "could totally change my mind".

"If the muse calls me later to do it, we'll do it," he added.

Django Unchained was Tarantino's biggest ever box-office hit, earning $425m (£258m) worldwide and nominated for five Oscar

 

Shame about this but you have to love Tarantino's outlook. Screw the film i don't wanna deal with anymore agents than i need to. I'll publish, make a film later down the line and probably make more money i the long run!

[21st Century Fox]

In case anyone was wondering, the other two actors he gave the script to were Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern.

Watched The Wolf Of Wall Street yesterday. I give it a 9, Excellent film. An elderly couple walked out after 30 mins I would love to know what they were expecting to see. Jonah Hill was great and Leo's wife was an absolute stunner! 

 

there are a lot of people who don't like too much bad language in a film and many more who don't like explicit sex scènes. Personally I don't think films need the explicit sex- we're intelligent viewers and can work out when sex is supposed to be steamy or unordinary or extraordinary.

 

Haven't seen wolf of wall street yet though so can't be specific.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Weirdest film you ever seen? Sky Captain and world of tomorrow! I just simply couldn't get the film, acting in the film is so awkward, you can tell all the actors in this are unsure how to act in this. Jude Law looks bored to hell. 

 

Late to the debate, but Tetsuo anyone? Nothing even remotely weird about Sky Captain, it's just a parody of 1940s-50s B-movies. Gattaca, also with Jude Law, is probably weirder. The Vanishing (the original Dutch version, not the crap cop-out Hollywood remake)

 

In fact, do yourself a favour and watch some films by David Cronenberg and David Lynch (that's not a partnership by the way)

Wolf of Wall street

 

Cannot reccomend this film enough

 

3 hours of cash, hard partying and stunning women.

 

Magnifique

His tiny mind will implode.

Yeah but you have the choice to read a description of the movie before you see it. If the films has sex, drugs or whatever else you dont want to see in it, go see something else.

Where are people watching films online nowadays? I'm so obsessed with Netflix I haven't watched anything 'new' in a while except for a moody copy of the Wolf Of Wall Street which cut out all the nudity.

Someone on here mentioned GenVideos a while back.  I've not watched anything in full on there yet, but I have quickly checked a few out & the quality looks very good.

 

It hasn't got Wolf of Wall Street, so may be missing the very latest films.

It was good not great, but don't understand the Oscar nominations, the acting was bob standard, story line wasn't all that.  2013 must have been a shit years for the Oscars

Not seen Gravity, but it looks shit!!

[Webbo]

Gravity was a great film.

[Guest]

Gravity was a great film.

 

I got bored to death after watching 45minutes - (out of 90 I think) and I found Bullock's acting poor . Clooney was the only non negative point for me.

 

Why did you like it?

[Dr The Singh]

Gravity was a great film.

Looks shit though, 2 fookers stuck in space sounds as much fun as being in a hot air balloon with Dangerous Tiger!!

Non stop action, genuine tension all through the film. It must have been brilliant in 3D.
