Anyone seen Far from the Madding Crowd yet? I'm reading the book at the moment and hoping to get through it before my wife decides she wants to see it. Got A Streetcar Named Desire;Vertigo, and A Call to Arms all recorded to watch. I do love classic B&W movies.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago despite some Radio Scotland critic saying it was a bit 'light'.
We both enjoyed it.
Read what you like into that;)
 
Anyone watched the new Mad Max film yet. Reviews are positive though it is meant to be totally barking. Thinking about going over the Bank Holiday.
 
My daughter, 12, saw PP2 at the weekend. Loved it and claims better than the first?! To be fair I have seen the trailer and the commentator gets some very funny lines. She says that continues throughout the film so maybe there is something you can get out of it. Thankfully she did not want me to go with her so I did not have to go.

I thought I had better watch the 1st to see what I am in for & found myself actually ENJOYING it. By no means a masterpiece, but good comedy value, good story line etc. I am now looking forward to Saturday. :o:o

Not seen it yet but think my wife and I might go see it on Friday night, thought of going Saturday night but its Eurovision cheese that we quite enjoy! I also quite want to see The World of Tomorrow, that looks quite entertaining.
 
Saw Legend with Tom Hardy at the weekend - very good film. Tom Hardy impresses me more and more with each film he makes - he's got an excellent back catalogue to boot including the likes of Bronson, Warrior, Lawlessand The Drop.
 
Between Christmas and New Year me and Mrs went to see Carol and yesterday evening we went to see The Danish Girl. Well at least I can say that I've seen two of the Oscar/Emmy contender films. They were both enjoyable in a 'cinema going' way - but Mrs accepted they were perhaps not so much 'blokes films'. Probably both just a bit too sensitive - and dealing with deep relationship, sexual and personal issues. Have to say though that Eddie Redmayne is brilliant in The Danish Girl and his co-star Alicia Vikander, playing his wife, is stunning (and stunningly beautiful)

If you get the chance, go see - Spotlight.

If it doesnt win best film at the oscars i'll be shocked. Seeing Revenant tommorow so will be able to compare the two favourites

We watched Revenant on Friday night, excellent film and a cracking yarn. Going back to the Tom Hardy thing, he's also very good in this film and should have a good shout at best supporting actor.
We also watched Bridge Of Spies which was kind of decent but not a patch on Revenant. Spielberg has his moments but he just can't help himself with his mawkish moments, seems to be typical US trait in film making unfortunately.
Heard a great review for Room so that is next on the list.

I enjoyed Bridge of Spies but agree it wasnt amazing.

Creed was also a good film, and I'd like to see Stallone get best supporting Actor.

Oh - The Drop - Terrible film. had so much potential
