Inferno

Mayhem, murder and horror against a pallette of lush colours and fine cinematography - Dario Argento style

The Fighter true story with Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. Very good!

I loved The Fighter. Christian Bale was absolutely brilliant.

If you're talking about the one with Robert Downey Jr, there is going to be a sequel. I can't remember when its supposed to come out though.

I completely agree!

Watched The Wrestler last night. Despite the fact I hate wrestling big time this was a good film! Mickey Rourke nailed it!

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. While not the worst thing I've ever seen, this was very disappointing - I can see how someone might love it but it had no (positive) effect on me at all. (IMO, the opening scenes and the introduction of the "two worlds" are so mishandled that the movie would just lumber along and never take flight even if it weren't holding itself down every step of the way.) When it does the obligatory fantasy things, they're naturally uninspired and, if it tries anything of itself, it's worse. No characters to get attached to, despite all the trying. Decent enough theme but not worth sitting through two hours of offputting semi-random fancies.

Also a waste of Jonathan Pryce and Uma Thurman (plot/character wise) and a something-bad if not a "waste" of Robin Williams.

Last film I watched Was Paul, which I borrewed from a friend. It was suitably cheesey for my tastes and I loved picking out all the various sci-fi references. Of which I picked out more than my friend did. Alas most of it was lost on her as she's not actually a sci-fi fan. She only watched it because she likes Simon Pegg's stuff, and because her fiancé is a sci-fi fan

Yes there is a sequel. They've finished filming so I guess it will be out either late this year, or early next year.

I too enjoyed this film although I found I had to leave most of what I knew about Sherlock Holmes outside! A bit too Americanised for me... However, that said, thoroughly enjoyable entertainment value

I will be watching the sequel too!!!

I enjoyed it for ALL of those reasons (although marriage status has nothing to do with it).

Saw a trailer for it the other night when I went to see Beautiful Lies (spelt correctly, this time!), and it looks good!

Taken

Overall a good movie but imo let itself down by glossing over somethings to much in true hollywood fashion.

AE35Unit · 17th August 2011, 11:35 PM

Insidious
Not bad! I so want a house with really creaky doors!!

Battle: Los Angeles - a big sack of clichedom and a silly premise. Apart from that it was okay.

biodroid · 18th August 2011, 07:50 AM

The Mechanic - The remake with Statham, not a bad movie, lots of leaky brain syndrome.

It was alright...nothing special.
