Films

We watched Cuban Fury on TV on Sat, the only Fury was mine that i had wasted however long it was on for. Last night Total Recall was on. i only stayed awake for about 10 mins, but i don't remember seeing Arnie in it in that time????

It's the reboot with Kate Beckinsale and Colin Farrell. Not set on Mars but on Earth, didn't like it when I saw it on Sky Movies. Only redeeming part is Kate Beckinsale TBH.

That will be why the current Mrs148 was adamant i hadn't seen it, when i told I was not worried about falling asleep a the start.

Sharon Stone was in the orig, woof woof.
 
Watched the Second best Marigold Hotel last week.

Even better than the first, some great one liners.

I'd second that. "The nose knows Mrs Donnelly"……...

Just back from Still Alice. Fantastic performance from Julianne Moore, extremely powerful and well worth watching, just don't expect to have your mood lightened; I have never known a cinema so quiet nor still at the end of a film. People just sat there sniffling into hankies for most of the credits.
 
Watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty again last night, absolutely love that film. Listening to the soundtrack today too. Watched The Princess Bride on Monday. Another childhood classic!

I had that with Schindlers List. The whole cinema, it was packed, sat there traumatised at the end. Great film but it aged me. I haven't done a heavy film since, strictly lightweight now.
 
Watched Gozilla 2014 the other day.... :mmm:

Looking forward to Edge of Tomorrow sometime soon. And Interstellar.

I watched Godzilla the other week. I am at a loss as to how anyone can make a film featuring giant monsters fighting so utterly boring. Very disappointing, nowhere near as good as Pacific Rim.

Edge of Tomorrow was OK, not great but a harmless Friday night's viewing.

I fell asleep during it, ususually like TC films especially with time paradoxes.

Looking forward to Interstellar, heard very good things

Agree on both points.

Watched Interstellar last night. It was very good, up to a point, then went a bit "Signs". It kind of was the film I was expecting but also at the same time wasn't the film I was expecting. The visuals were spectacular though.

Enjoyed it.... I think.....

Also watched The Voices the other day. It was ok, but turned out to be one of those films where all the best bits are in the trailer, so it's not actually as good as you were expecting.
 
Totally forgot (which says a lot), saw Focus last week. Tries so hard to be a Hollywood version of Aunty Beebs "Hustle" and just doesn't do it. Some very good coreographed, almost dance like, scenes of pick pocketry in there.

Margot Robbie.... very easy on the eye! Cloud-silver lining and all that.
 
Any love for Grand Budapest Hotel here?
The missus and I really enjoyed it, I like those quirky "not quite crazy Lynch" type films, Moonlight Kingdom etc.

My wife didn't like it. I'm still not sure. It was certainly quirky and a bit different. I liked aspects of it but I don't know if I liked all of it. Very odd to be unsure about a film but it was that sort of a film. I thought Ralph Fiennes was excellent though.
