No mentions of Gravity? IMAX 3D the way to go. Despite Neil Tyson's comments

Yeah Rush was good, would recommend

Isn't that based on James Hunt - the former F! driver from the 60's/70's?

Watching Sinister at the moment - had to change pants 3 times so far.

My 12 year old niece has gone to her room (I'm the greatest uncle in the world)

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite

Gravity was good.  Must be seen on a big screen in 3D though I think.  Was very good at The Embassy, the sound almost blew me out of my seat at a couple of points!

Cloud Atlas

I was very impressed . The people who wrote, produced and directed this borrowed heavily from the SF novels of the 50's through to the 70's and incorporated a lot of the cover art imagery. Made me very nostaglic.

I am currently watching Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter at the moment, wondering if being unemployed is rotting my brain.


Edit - finished now.  I think that Daniel Day-Lewis winning an Oscar for this was probably about right he is pretty good working with some challenging material.

Two different movies Frankie. The vampire one was  bit of fun, the real one I believe was excellent and Daniel Day Lewis showed once again why is is an excellent actor.

I watched Abraham Lincoln vs zombies a wee while ago. 

It was awful, but strangely fun.

I have seen that Wake In Fright. Weird, but decent.

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty was good I thought.

saw American Hustle last night, sadly it had nothing to do with the magazine (having said that, Amy Adams made my pants shrink in a number of scenes).

Very good film, but (like most films these days) was about 30 minutes too long.  Is there some law that I don't know about that no film under 100 minutes can win any Oscar?

This is starting to piss me off too. I wonder if it is the lack of good editors working in Hollywood these days? Or lack of good script writers, people who are able to keep everything tight and focused?

The new Hobbit movie had a nice pace to it until Lake Town then the wayyyy to long dragon scenes, at this point people where shuffling around in their seats. 2 hours absolute max please or bring back the interval.

Agreed. Then again almost every Peter Jackson movie I've seen has been 30-60 minutes too long. Great stuff, but just a bit too much. Other than Bad Taste of course. That is quality.

Feverish seems more like a wall St type. 

What's your rating on the Wolf. Yet to see it myself.

I read the first 100 pages of the book, and couldn't stand it - load of self indulgent bullshit.  Film is supposed to be good, so will probably see it soon.  Apparently it has loads of swearing which makes it all grown up and cool.

 

Looking at the emails I receive from Feverish, the idea of him writing a script tickles me no end.

Loved it! 
Got an 8.7/10 user rating on imdb if you pay attention to that sort of thing.

Got my hands on "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" on Bluray for $18.95 in JB's on Sunday. Loved it first time round, hopefully it'll stand the test of time. Also got "Worlds End" - Any good?

Watched Rush last night - wasn't anything to do with Geoffrey which was disapointing.  I have no real interest in F1, but I still thought it was really good.  I did lament on several occassions that I wasn't watching it on the big screen.

I thought worlds end was awful. But then I seemed to be in the minority who had that opinion. 

Also I was really rather hungover when I watched it, so that probably didn't help.

I appreciate that it is a series, but how does it rank compared to the UK hustle? Surely nothing can beat that? If it does I will definitely buy a ticket

Philomena with Dame Judy Dench and Steve Coogan was excellent - sad, harrowing, sweet, with a bit of humour as well.  Highly recommend
