Strangely I really enjoyed the Martian, thought it was predictable but we'll put together.

Not strange I don't think Stu. Had an overall critic rating of 93%. Highly praised.
It's a film I very much fancy seeing. Much more my type of sci fi than Star Wars.

Aye, like I said it wasn't bad, it just didn't match the hype. It trundled a lot, and the character didn't seem as fazed at being marooned as he should have been. It was an original approach, and it kept me watching till the end though. I'd have given it 78-80%, myself.
At least it didn't have me choking on vomit like the new Mission Impossible. I genuinely had a nightmare about that film, Hunt was chasing me with his willy out.

Watched this last night. Have to say it was the worst Bond film I've ever watched! Storyline far too complicated. Characters were shite. All talking and only 4 or 5 major pieces of action. Really disappointed!

did the hateful 8 last night
has more of a jackie brown feel rather than a pulp fiction feel
reminded me a of a real old fashioned western, if django was a modern pulp fiction style western, 8 was the opposite
thinking this film was another of quentins failures , in a masses type way, but for the purists, it was quite special
i get the hate from folks that have seen it, its gonna be a marmite film for some

Has anybody ever watched the Robin Hood film with Russell Crowe playing the lead role ? Plenty of action but spoilt by Crowe's silly accent or accents,as he kept changing it throughout the movie.One scene it was Northern,then slightly Welsh with a touch of Scouse. Hilarious and worth watching just for his talking !

It always racks me off when there is an ageing cast in Westerns, the average life expectancy out West was mid 30's, most people did not live beyond 45, disease was rife, medical treatment patchy, dentistry involved pulling bad teeth,sanitation almost non existent. It's simply glamorising historical reality to have a bunch of actors who are in 50's & 60's with perfect teeth playing Cowboys.

Haha yes he is terrible in the end i think he just goes for his own accent.

Indeed, the man of a thousand accents.
I actually fell off the sofa laughing when the French invaded in WW2 landing craft and were met by kids riding shetland ponies. I half-expected to see Daleks rolling off the landing craft and Spitfires flying overhead as well.
In fairness though, it still wasn't as far-fetched as Ridley Scott's next effort, Prometheus.

Yeah, I thought that too. Nothing spectacular, just a solidly entertaining film.
Dave Bautista looked ready to pop in every scene though, even when he was calm.

May we discuss crap series' on this thread too?
I dare any of you to watch 'Agent X', a new series with Sharon Stone in it. Not gonna spoil it with details, you can have the same recoil-in-cringeworthyness that I had.

the acting is on point too, but its not for everyone, very strange style of film

There doesn't seem to be any great movies around for a while I reckon,in fact I watched Gladiator the other night for the umpteenth time and still enjoyed it. The Godfather is next I feel to watch, as it has to be pure genius and not just the first one ?

Watched Amy last night.
Just reminded me how much I dislike the press and the paparazzi in particular.
Heartless, uncaring, without moral and it's just organised stalking.
I don't buy any daily papers or the sort of magazines that cover celebrities and celeb behaviour etc.
Unfortunately the paparazzi is fed and perpetuated by the people who buy these rags and those who seem obsessed by famous people's lives.
Can't say I have ever been bothered or interested in what any famous people are doing, or who they are going out with or who they are married to.
Seems clear Any Winehouse was on a path to self-destruction, what with the wrong choice of life-partner who was a heavy user, management who seemingly just wanted to fulfil contracts above all else and a father who at times didn't help try and stop it at all.
I was never a fan of Winehouse, but did think the song Back to Black was absolutely fantastic and I also liked Rehab too, but the jazzy stuff just wasn't for me, but the girl obviously had so much talent and a wonderful voice.
Very good film and I believe a firm favourite to win big at the awards season.

Only film I could tolerate with Sandler in, was Happy Gilmore. I really cannot abide his 'comedy', it's so diluted and piss-weak.
For someone so limited talent-wise, he's bloody loaded. I mean seriously loaded, like almost at a billionaire level.
