Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight... Post by: Grier78 on February 10, 2008, 04:16:00 PM If you like really good potential oscar winners then watch There will be blood -
"There Will Be Blood" is set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value - love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son - is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.

Post by: scotty2hatty on February 10, 2008, 04:20:11 PM If you haven't seen No Country For Old Men and it's still on at your local cinema I highly recommend going to see that. My favourite film of the last few months - and I go to see everything with the Cineworld pass thingy!
Juno is good too. Your "missus" may like Definitely, Maybe - my girlfriend did and I must admit I thought it was decent. Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight... Post by: sovietsong on February 10, 2008, 04:20:42 PM sounds good to me! the missus said she Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, personally im not too sure
Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight... Post by: DaveShoelace on February 10, 2008, 04:38:26 PM Not Sweeney Todd
Juno is good, see that. Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight... Post by: scotty2hatty on February 10, 2008, 04:39:57 PM I agree with the no to Sweeney Todd - too much singing. There is a good chance I fell asleep watching that one.

There is a good chance I fell asleep watching that one. It could have been perfect too, which is the real shame. Excellent casting of Depp and Carter, the set was brilliant, story was interesting and the Ali G cameo was great. Just a shame that Tim Burton knows as much about music as Brian Robson knows about football management - destroying what could have been a brilliant film in the process.

Post by: AndrewT on February 11, 2008, 04:16:01 PM Saw There Will Be Blood last night - very impressive. Very Kubrickian in its sparseness at times.

Very Kubrickian in its sparseness at times. fantastic score by Mr Greenwood of Radiohead, no? definitely a film to see on a quiet afternoon, with few distractions in the room..for full aural and visual effect Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight...

Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight... Post by: TightEnd on February 11, 2008, 04:42:16 PM Has he had a top 20 hit that I'd know is the question? not since he died in 2006 "Hungary like the wolf" Duran Duran 1983 was his biggest hit Title: Re: Off t'cinema tonight...
