Watch Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong film on which the Departed is copied.
Far superior film.

I don't know if you can beat mark Wahlbergs staff Sargent

Liquorice Pizza, bizarre, bonkers, brilliant ?
The son of Philip Seymour Soffman plays the lead male role, what a star in the making that lad is ?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Batman. How do you keep reinventing the wheel? I think they have done a very good job, Pattinson does moody very well. Filming must have been a nightmare though, permanently dark and raining

Blacklight. You'd think by now I'd realise that these Sky Originals are a complete waste of time, yet still I try...

Thank you. Deleted from planner. I think I get sucked into the fact they have some big names in them - maybe they're just picking up easy money.

Someone was explaining this to me years ago

They sign deals for X amount but they have to basically make loads and loads of movies for these days, unless your a superstar and pick your films most of them are on muilti movie contracts and just have to make whatever the studio says

Marvel whilst making great movies have their stars filming scene after scene and half the actually stars don't know until the film comes out which movie that scene is for

Ambulance, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. An intense action film, that intense that I suffered sensory overload and the action lost its impact to some degree. I didn't not enjoy it, but I'm not sure that I enjoyed it either as it was so over the top. As an aside if the helicopter involvement in the car chase that is pretty much all the film weren't CGI'd then it's some of the best stunt flying I've seen. And if you are squeamish at the sight of blood & medical procedures, maybe give it a swerve.

I made the same mistake. awful film, dreadful acting.

Just finished the Jack Reacher film series [The Killing Room ??]
A proper life like actor playing Reacher, my wife says he was wooden but did not read the books so she could not understand that he was supposed to be like that.

My missus wasn't remotely interested in the series but like having it on so I could nudge her whenever the actor playing Jack Reacher took his top off.

We went to see the new Rob Patinson Batman at the weekend. It was alright. Far too long at 2 hours 45. He did a decent job of portraying Batman but you don't really see much of the Bruce Wayne side of him at all. So you didn't get to see any charm or charisma brought to the role really, he was just moody throughout. I enjoyed their take on th Riddler though, he was a pretty good villain, and Catwomen was perfectly cast as will in my opinion - thought Zoe Kravitz was very good.

It was brilliant

I strongly disagree about Bruce Wayne. He was still grieving and finding his feet

All good stories need a begining a middle and an end

This was just the beginning

It didn't really feel like the beginning either, since he didn't actually become Batman. They sort of skipped the beginning and dived into the early-middle.

But it is a begining to the batman he is becoming.

They didn't want to retell the story of his parents death again it's been done to death (pardon the pun)

This is very much batman early years , plenty of ways to go from here

Agree, very much along the lines of Batman Year One and Year 2 in the comics or the early episodes in the New 52. Even though it was brief, he even had to be reminded of the need to be Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins.

Finally, with films like this and the newer Spiderman films, companies have realised that there is no need to see the origin story again and again.

Having watched the deleted scenes, liking the look of the new Joker as well.

Yeah, having him pop up as a little hello at the end nicely

Good film

Have you seen the extended version of that end scene on Youtube.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A 1966 western starring Steve McQueen on ITV4…Nevada Smith…excellent…though having a 35yr old McQueen playing a 16yr old took a bit of believing, but he played it well.

I have indeed, very interesting

I was impressed with the casting of the film and the tone

Strong message throughout

@Orikoru that's what I meant to say aswell this very much built on something missed in majority of batman films to date.

He is the world's greatest detective and they really used it in this

Most impressive

That's true. The use of the Riddler is always a good one to showcase his detective skills I think.

The riddler was done so well. Dark and twisted

We have seen the Joker done so many times it was nice to see someone else used

Plus Selina was brilliant

It was a well put together film

The batmobile aswell.. beautiful, but could have been an EV ?
