Film - the most recent you have seen?

Mary Poppins quite enjoyed it too :mrgreen:

The Hundred Foot Journey, if you liked The Best Exotic Marigold hotel this may appeal. Helen Mirren stars.

Let Him Have It - itā€™s about Derek Bentley, the teenager hanged for the murder of a policeman and Christopher Craig, who actually did the shooting.

My friend & I watched 9 last night. Weird film, but enjoyable. Tim Burton was involved in the making of it so it was bound to be weird. Itā€™s about a post apocalyptic world where all humans are gone & only sock people are left. I had never seen it advertised & I found the DVD at a Toy fair.

Crimson Peak

Saw it today and I still feel unsettled.
Had it been on the TV screen, then it def would not have had so much impact, but on the big screen ā€¦ hmmmmm ā€¦ disturbing.

As a cynical/analytical person who stands back and views from afar, I was surprised that I felt so affected by certain scenes and the underlying subtext.

Maybe some of it is to do with my current state of mind, but ā€¦ dunno.

A film I would not want to see at the cinema alone.
Great costumes, fab props and photography.

We went to see the new James Bond film last night.

Absolutely F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.Cā€¦
I have always been a fan of the Bond films, but thought that Daniel Craig had sort of complicated things with his earlier films. This one though is just outstanding.

Iā€™ll give it six stars out of five.

Wow :shock:

Might go to see it next week :confused:

Sean Connery (in his early Bond films) was the only Bond I enjoyed, so watch out for my appraisal.

Bruv said the same, said it was even better than Skyfall which I adored. Will go next week.
Just back from Suffragetteā€¦brilliant. And shocking. And all true.

SPECTRE

Daniel Craig as James Bond

Not really bothered with James Bond films since the early days of Sean Connery.

The reviews I heard on the radio for this one had not been too good so I was expecting a load of rubbish.
Also, I was worried that it was quite long and I might be bored.

However ā€¦ the opening scene (before the titles) was a cracking start and thoroughly enjoyable, even if was slightly ā€˜hammyā€™ and his suit was far too tight ! ā€¦ some of us pick up on these things :shock: :smiley: :wink:

Goodness knows what it was about but never mind, it whizzed along very nicely and we all enjoyed it.
A bit of Bond nonsense and I did remember that there had been a white Persian cat in a previous Bond film.

Had my mind not been occupied with ā€˜lifeā€™ I would very likely be able to enthuse more.

Dunno if it would work so well on a TV screen

Agree, opening sequence brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Wellā€¦I was ready to go home after that, quite enough for me :mrgreen:
But on it went, and onā€¦too much really.
Yes his suit was too small :mrgreen:
And one bit Iā€™d been warned about so I didnā€™t see what happened as I was told it was quite unnecessarily disgusting. Why do they have to do that?

It was good, but to be honest I preferred Skyfall, I absolutely adored Skyfall.

Brilliant film - one of Tim Burtonā€™s best.

Not seen Skyfall and didnā€™t notice anything disgusting :shock:

Neither did I as I was looking down at my hands!!
And I glanced sideways and lordruthio was wincing and looking a bit green.
Clueā€¦SPOILER ALERT LOOK AWAY NOW!

.[SIZE=ā€œ1ā€]ā€¦it was when they were all sitting round the board table and one of them didnā€™t make it home for tea[/SIZE]

Ahhhh ā€¦ was it to do with eyes ?

I had to look away then

Dammit ā€¦ had put it out of my mind ā€¦ thanks :cry:

Bloody hell is that what it was???
No wonder my sister in law warned me!! She knows my weakness!

In my Mumā€™s family, eyes were always a big eeeeeeeek ! so I have always been sensitive.

Didnā€™t even dare go to an optician until a few years ago !

Big eeeek with me, always have been, will forever be grateful to my sister in law for warning me!
But hell, it was only a 12A, whatā€™s wrong with film makers?
It WAS disgusting and totally unnecessary and I didnā€™t even see it!!

I watched ā€œEx Machinaā€ yesterday on Sky premiere - itā€™s a British science fiction movie where a young man (Domnhall Gleeson) goes to the isolated mansion, in the mountains, of a scientist developing a lifelike robot, in order to test its artificial intelligence. I found it a little reminiscent of ā€œHumansā€ that appeared on Channel 4 this year. Quite enjoyable.

I agree & it certainly was different. Did you see it in a cinema?
