ScienceGeek Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Recent favourite at the cinema was Juno. I also watched Hard Candy a couple of days ago which has Ellen Page in who is also in Juno. Hard Candy is rather weird and makes you squirm a lot, I can't really say what made me squirm as it will give the story away, but if you watch it you will find out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarenT Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I was wondering about that Baggy, thought I hadn't heard you rave about it yet. I haven't seen it either, but then I hardly ever get to the cinema for grown-up films (can't remember the last time). Karen x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lya of the Nox Report post Posted February 26, 2008 watched snow cake on dvd does that count, we all enjoyed it, espec megz x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted February 26, 2008 The new National Treasure is great (agree with you there Bid - not to say I don't agree with you in other cases - sorry in one of those weird moods tonight - now been facetious with myself - don't worry about me too much). Enjoying what I've seen of 'Tales from Earthsea' so far though it is a little slow (on DVD). Enchanted was also very good but that was a little while ago now. Even more likely to make a North East cinema trip now as I'm working in Middlesbrough again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I cant BELIEVE you've not seen Sweeney Todd yet Baggy! We loved it. Just don't have pie for tea. I want to see The Other Boleyn Girl, its being released soon, I'm into Tudor history & liked the book, well I like all Philippa Gregorys stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted February 27, 2008 I watched another dvd the other night, with Caterine Zeta Jones in.....she was a chef....can't remember title.....something Reservations Twas ok. Not seen Snowcake yet Lya. David/Bid, DS went to see National Treasure and really enjoyed it....I really like Nicolas Cage, so will definately get it when it comes out on dvd. I'd like to see the Bolyne film too Pearl...looks fab, although not DH's cup of tea, so will probably have to go with someone else or wait for dvd. Not seen Fracture yet Donna, although huge fan of Anthony Hopkins, so it's definately on my one's to watch list. Seen a couple of trailers for it. Suze...noooooooooooooooooo......Atonement is fabby I really want to watch the Elizabeth film with Cate Blanchett....hoping to get that next on dvd Must, must, must get to see Sweeney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted February 28, 2008 I found the Elizabeth film vv disappointing Baggy, not worth going to the cinema for apart from the battle scene which was amaaaaazing, tho I didnt know Francis Drake defeated the Armada single handed, swinging from ship to ship like Errol Flynn Other than that, DULL, not a patch on the first one. And I didnt know 50-something Elizabeth looked about 30 & had top of the range hair extensions I liked Atonement Suze but I cant stand Keira Knightley, she always has this expression on her face like she's just stepped in something. Thought that little kid was great though - so intense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stella63 Report post Posted March 9, 2008 That's what happened to me!! My friend told me to read Atonement and then see the film so I read the book and thought it was beautifully written. As soon as I finished it, looked at the cinema times and, there it was gone!! I know it has now come out on DVD but I never seem to have time to sit down and watch a whole film. Did take OJ to see The Water Horse and that was a lovely story but never get to see 'grown up' films ( and I will qualify that by saying I don't mean the 'grown up' films that people buy in brown paper bags!!!!).

Bagpuss Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Watched a couple of dvd's last few nights... Bobby *yawns* didn't enjoy it. Went to bed, although DH said it got better. Elizabeth, well, it was ok, and I enjoyed it, although did not overwhelm me, and I didn't feel it lived up to the hype tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted March 13, 2008 I was disappointed in Elizabeth too Baggy - not half as good as the first one. We are going to see the Other Boleyn Girl this w/e but it hasnt had good reviews. I just love a good bodice ripper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Yup, thought there were some really daft bits in Elizabeth...why was she wearing hair down to ground like Lady Godiva in the battle scene? Surely that went against all Health and Safety issues...and the enemy could just ride over her hair or pull her off Did Raleigh save England all by himself leaping around like Jack Sparrow? Did she really stand on the cliffs of Dover in her wincyette (sp?) nightie watching the battle? Couldn't get to grips with her winking at everyone all the time too The acting was great, and I do like Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush, but some of it just seemed ridiculous Hope you enjoy your film Pearl.

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted March 13, 2008 I saw 'Bank Job' at the weekend at the cinema which was fairly good. Not my all time fave heist film but was still entertaining. There are a couple of tempting films out too. Will update you if I see any of them. (Have forgot the names or I'd mention them.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suze Report post Posted March 16, 2008 ............last film I saw at the cinema was Alvin and the chipmunks..........a sure fire oscar winner if ever I saw one ..........youngest literally wet himself laughing when the squirrel lookalikes sang that fab disco number "funky town ".. ............I however was less appreciative and just glad to sit down with a bag of midget gems for 60 mins .............watched The merchant of venice (with Al pacino )...on DVD, really loved it clever chap that Shakepeare and the dialogue actually made more sense to me than alot of garbage some people talk .

pearl Report post Posted May 19, 2008 Saw Brokeback Mountain on TV last night. Really enjoyed it. When it was at the cinema S was still living at home, so we went out to give her & boyf a bit of privacy, but the film was full, so we skulked in the pub for an hour before going home. You're back early, she said. Well, Dad couldn't cope with the cowboy-on-cowboy action, we said, so we walked out! They believed us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frangipani Report post Posted May 19, 2008 My son and I watched 'The Bucket List' with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Brilliant movie. sad but loved it. My daughter and I enjoyed PS I Love you - we both cried, I covered my face so my daughter didn't notice thetear streaming down my face - then peeked a look at her and she was too. Highly recommend both. warming Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted May 19, 2008 I really enjoyed Brokeback Mountain too Pearl, although DH really struggled with it. He thought it was abit, erm, graphic. I watched PS I Love You again last night, fab, fab, fab We've also got 1408, a supernatural thriller with Samuel L Jackson, but not watched it as yet. I'm off out to buy Sweeney Todd in a mo for tonight...........bliss *shall report back later this evening* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted May 19, 2008 I'm off out to buy Sweeney Todd in a mo for tonight...........bliss *shall report back later this evening* Blimey, not sure what to say There was alot of blood wasn't there DH's face fell in the opening scene when JD burst into song on the ship Then he fell asleep half way through When he did manage to rouse himself, it was towards the end, and at the grand finale he muttered "Well, there wasn't really any need for that was there....that's disgusting". I thought it was good in a really bizarre, wacky sort of way......don't think I've ever watched a film like it, or ever will again....it's like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Oliver The Musical But I am loving JD with panda eyes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
