rate the last film you watched

I haven't seen it since it came out, but at the time I remember thinking it was pretty average and really safe compared to a lot of Morris' earlier work. Half the cinema seemed to go along the lines of "hurhurhur he blew himself up LOL", but for me there were only a few genuinely sharp lines and a couple of good serious moments. Definitely going to watch it again at some point and re-evaluate it though.

LOVE Wall-e. love love love.
The first bit when he's on earth are some of the best moments I've seen on film in recent times tbh.

NO IT WASN'T ME, YOU CUNT

I almost cried to Up.

Have to agree though. It's a remarkable film, better than Up. Only the Toy Story films beat it in the Pixar oeuvre I reckon, and that is only by mere pixels.

It makes me love humanity that a mainstream family film can be this incisive, brave and just plain wonderful.

Are you sure it wasn't you? I'd be lying if I said I didn't well up in a couple of moments tbh

Also caught a short spin off called Burn-E, about one of the Robots on the Axiom spaceship. Tied in quite nicely to the main story but was based around a few slapstick moments. Worth a watch.

whilst toy story 3 didn't make me cry, at THAT bit in the film, i was digging my fingers into my palms so hard that it hurt for hours afterwards. didn't even realise until it was all over too.

toy story 3 is just perfect.

I really need to see Toy Story 3, everyone I know has been raving about it and I loved the first two.

[2] The Big heist, 2001. Dir; Robert Marcowitz. Staring; Donald Sutherland, Johen Heard, Jamie Harris

About the JFK Lufthansa robbery. Henry Hill is in it. Donald plays Jimmy. A pretty standard bank rob/mobster flick which I enjoyed. Enjoyable if you're into that and the whole mobster scene in the fake way. Not the real way with all the problems. The third rob movie in a row for me and and the second one this year.
7/10

El Dorado (1966)





I've decided to go ahead and become John Wayne. Bought a cowboy hat, an everyfink. Might miss out the sleeping with young male actors bit, mind. Til I've had a few beers, at least.

Another absolute cracker.

I think he's making up all the movies he's watching. Who bothers to check out all the fucking rancid horror stuff he watches??
"the house where your mum became a zombie" I MEAN COME ON!!!

bet you're right actually

WE ARE CALLING SHENANIGANS ON YOU KARL MAHONEYS!!

the weatherman - 8 outta 10.



on bbc1 last night. ;D

funny as fuck tbh.

quite touching in places as well.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down A Dream - 8/10

A four hour long, epic documentary from Peter Bogdanovich about the legend that is Tom Petty. Watched this last night as part of BBC Four's Tom Petty night. Thoroughly enjoyable documentary, even at 4 hours it doesn't lag too often. I would say it focuses on some of the 80's stuff a bit long but this often happens in music documentaries. Then again some of it was really incredible, like his touring with Bob Dylan which led to the formation of The Travelling Wilburys.

The man also knows how to write a tune. So many classics through-out the documentary. It's a shame no one really gives him the recognition he deserves in this day and age. A true rock and roll giant.

Well put, Andy. And I need to see that Docu. Wildflowers is by far my fav from him. Yours?

star wars phantom menace (1999)



5

fucking hell i can see why people were shocked by this now. it takes everything away that made the original star wars so good doesnt it shitty cgi characters everywhere and annoying child actors. even the few normally decent actors in it were average at best.

however i guess because im not quite so familiar with the original trilogy as most, i wasnt as offended by this as i could have been. if you forget about the original trilogy and take this as its own film, it wasnt awful, just a fairly average story hence the 5 from me.

I don't know all of his albums well enough but Damn The Torpedoes and Full Moon Fever are both quality. The self titled debut is great too tbh, it's hard to go wrong though. Unless Stevie Nicks is getting a look in obviously. I even really enjoyed their album 'Mojo' from last year.

Was channel flicking earlier and caught a bit and the costumes on these creatures looked so fucking bad I saw all 3 of the new ones around the time they came out and not bothered since, wasn't fussed about them but I can't remember them looking that bad

iron man (2008)



6

decent popcorn flick but didnt really engage me beyond that

Am I the only person that has zero interest in super hero/comic book films?

#19 Videodrome (1983)

I always thought this was some kind of poltergeist type deal though it had much more depth. I've enjoyed every Cronenberg film I've seen so far, they've all been at the worst good films and this was another solid watch. Deborah Harry's erect nipples are fucking great.
7.75

#20 Buried [2010]

The director & screen-writer did a really fine job on this. To keep me interested & engaged for 90 minutes with only whats inside a box with one actor is quite an achievement. I doubt there is much if any replay value with this film but I'd definitely recommend this as worth seeing.

#21 True Grit [2010]

I was really surprised how close to the original the Coen's kept this. Even some of the dialogue seemed word for word. They skipped the first 10 minutes, added a bit at the end & had a couple of little new scenes but for the most part it was the exact same film. I'd definitely say that this is a better looking film than the original however my one problem was Jeff Bridges. Whilst he gives a good performance he plays Rooster Coburn as a complete drunk. His accent was so strong & slurred that there was a couple of sentences he mumbled throughout the film where I swear I did not catch a word that came out of his mouth. I just did not find Bridges at all as loveable as John Wayne & Wayne's character was what made the '69 version work for me. The rest of the cast were fine, I just wish the Coen's had got to make True Grit in 2010 with John Wayne as it would of been pretty much perfect.
Not quite as good as the original for my money but still very good.
