*** 'THE OFFICIAL MOVIE THREAD' ***

[sledge13]

Probably the greatest movie of all time...Blur - No Distance Left To Run, 5/5 bullets on the hammer scale...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1565434/

'No Distance Left to Run' is a sentimental journey through Blur's beginnings, success, disillusionment, re-invention, arguments, break-ups and the emotional reunion and gigs of summer 2009.

"This documentary is fantastically shot, with intertwined footage from the band's 1990's Brit- pop haze. The interviews with the band, although not altogether open and revealing, do illustrate somewhat the band's dynamics and demons they each faced."

Just watched Apocalypto, Rambo with a Mayan twist, I actually really enjoyed it.

Mel Gibson film which has no English dialogue, all subtitled ... which added to the "feel" of the film.

Good film.

finally got round to watching inglourious basterds. I'd heard a few bad things about it so was expecting to be disappointed- I wasn't.

stunning film. waltz must win an oscar, thank god they didn't give the role to dicaprio as originally planned

Who the hell said bad things about inglorious?

One of the best film's I've seen in a good while. Awesome!


I seen apocolypto years ago, really liked it at the time.

The Wolfman = oh dear

Apparently this film had problems from the start and they probably should have given up. Tired nonsense. Hugo Weaving plays his Matrix character's great great great grandfather, which gives it a bit of unintended comedy.

Sat it out to the painful and obvious end as had time to kill before watching the mighty Posh wallop Ipshitch. Would have gone and played the monopoly quiz machine in the lobby had it not gg'd me already.

0.5 / 10 max

Unless you mean because he's a much more well known actor so it wouldn't have worked as well I totally disagree with this,For me dicaprio is one of the best male actors around.

Excellant film though

no, I don't think dicaprio would've been bad but waltz completely owned the part. best acting performance I've seen in years

Wolfman

I really really wanted to like this film , I liked the "feel" of the trailer and the gothic take and was really looking forward to a serious werewolf film however aside from the few nods to american werewolf in london - its not a very good movie, predictable and aside from a fairly decent attack in the early part of the film not in the least bit horrific or even scary.

I think maybe part of the problem is I was expecting a in depth film and what you have here is basically a "b" movie creature feature which is fine if thats what your expecting but theres enough talent on screen and great visuals to make it worthwhile however the plot and its pacing are severely lacking. I enjoyed Joe Johnstons Jumanji but with Jurrassic park 3 and Wolfman its clearly evident that he cannot direct a decent action flick.

3/10

Watched Percy Jackson tonight.

A cheap Harry Potter copy cat film,

Young boy is told he has special powers and must go to a school to train in the ways of the Greek gods

He has a girl friend whos good with a bow and a comic side kick whos half Donkey.

Pierce Brosman plays the wise old headmaster ( Hes half horse )

Uma Thurman Plays Medusa ( Snake head lady )

Trouble is theres no musical background like Harry P, This has  " Highway to hell " and Lady GaGa's Poker face

Thats about it

OK if your 12 and its Half Term
