Got Sky Movies and anytime+, selection of a load of films and the first one I watch is Sphere.

What a mistake that was.

Fellini - The White Sheik. Not impressed 5/10.

Sphere, as in the one with Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone? I thought that was a great movie

watched a few movies today..

The Sicilian Girl (Italian - was pretty decent)

The Mechanic (Jason Statham - if you like Statham - which we do, this was a really good movie)

Vanishing on 7th Street - watching now, too early to tell

Saw Pirates of the Carribean 4 yesterday. The episodes/concept have lost their appeal for me, so this might be the last of them I'll be seeing.

I thought Thor was quite good.

Only movie i'm actually looking forward to this summer is X-Men First Class.

Claudius

I wasn't impressed with Thor. Also felt the 3D was not a big bonus. Even G-Force had better 3D, at least in the trailers.
Fast Five was definite value for money. I'm not looking forward to summer movies. Maybe Super 8 does a job, but I'm tired of sequels that don't advance the franchise

Love those films, especially the former. If you're a Lynch fan I strongly recommend Wild At Heart, if you haven't already seen it. My second favourite of his behind MD.

Recently seen films that I would recommend:
Reservoir Dogs
The Third Man
Kill Bill (1 & 2)

Saw Pirates of the Carribean 4 last week. It was ok, you know what you're getting with these films, Cruz gorgeous, and Depp very good.

Klaus

I just watched The Tree of Life. I think it might be the best thing Malick has ever made.

Burnwinter

Big call Klaus. The Thin Red Line is a masterpiece.

Klaus

All of his films are masterpieces to be fair. I probably wouldn't include The Thin Red in the top three and I love it. I'm gonna have to let this one sink in but my spontaneous reaction was that I won't see anything better this year.

Burnwinter

Jolly good Klaus. It's on the list anyway.

Klaus

Watched Meek's Cutoff earlier. Felt like another gem. I've had a soft spot for Kelly Reichardt's films ever since I saw Old Joy. This was her best one yet. Nice lead performance from Michelle Williams too.

Captain

Watched 'London Boulevard' earlier. What a strange film; nothing happens for over an hour and the some people get shot.

Burnwinter

Watched Deathstalker (1983) last night.

Lots of boobs, in fact the gratuitousness of the boobs far, far outweighed any eroticism. This film is a bit like porn without sex. No plot and lots of purposeless linking sequences.

Pepe LeFrits

I went to see Win Win last night. Really enjoyed it. Though it was a bit unnerving being constantly struck by how Fernando Torres-like the kid was.

RocktheCasbah

Probably going to see Hanna tomorrow night. I'd like to see Attack the Block too.

And, listening to Kermode and Mayo talk to the director of that Senna film- that sounds like something I'd really enjoy.

Burnwinter

Saw Get Low last night.

Decent setup and then a major missed opportunity. The whole last third was pure flatulence. Be edgier film-makers.

Really, I'll have to check it out then.......

Klaus

You really should!

I watched Unknown earlier. Thought it was piss poor. You could see the plot twist coming after ten minutes. The remaining two hours were just one long bore full of uncharacteristically poor acting from Neeson. 1/5.

Just seen hangover part 2. It's a fun watch but don't expect too much.

I'd go with that, although i can't say i particularly enjoyed the first. They're ok.
