JackFetch Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Casino Royale: Why have I never seen this? 20 minutes in and I never want to see anyone else play Bond ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Shana and I watched this today. I've seen it 10 times, at least, but this was her first. She loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Watching Amistad. For a story so embroiled in American politics there sure are a lot of great British actors in this. Anthony Hopkins, Nigel Hawthorne, Pete Postlethwaite, Peter Firth, Jeremy Northam, we seem to have all current and former presidents and most of the other English-speaking parts too. Morgan Freeman and Matthew McConaughey seem quite alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Re: Bond. That chase scene at the start is a fantastic introduction to the Bond character. He's chasing a parkour expert, yet keeps up with him through his wits and at some times, brute force. Plus, it's the sequence I always show people to encourage them to buy a blu-ray and hi def TV. The crane sequence is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Oh yeah. Seeing Casino Royale on Blu-ray was an excellent decision, especially for the first 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Fantastic Mr. Fox - How have I never seen this movie before? It combines everything I like: great writing, great direction, sophisticated stop motion animation, dark comedy, great acting, old music. It was just all around a great cussing movie.

Professor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Bubba Ho-Tep - Not as much fun as a remember this being. I think watching this in a group initially was were the fun came from. Ten years later by myself, it was just kinda boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Doing a rewatch of Dollhouse, currently on the second episode. Must have been looking at this bow hunting guy for half an hour trying to place him before realising that it's the Minuteman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've just finished ALL the Bonds. I'd love to succinctly sum up my thoughts, but I think that'd defeat the point of creating a series of podcasts with a certified lunatic.

Donomark Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 My friend listened to the Casino Royale audiobook before re-watching the 2006 movie for the first time since it caem out on opening day. It makes me wanna re-watch it as well before Skyfall hits the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Fantastic Mr. Fox - It was just all around a great cussing movie. I loved the cluster cuss work around on swearing. Fantastic movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer. This is exactly what you think it is. Ridiculous fun, the whole way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 John Carter- What the funk? This is clearly the least markable thing of all time, between it's Star Wars reject aliens and the awful 70's costumes of the humans. So bloody confusing with all the new words for shit.

SuaveStar Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 John Carter- What the funk? This is clearly the least markable thing of all time, between it's Star Wars reject aliens and the awful 70's costumes of the humans. So bloody confusing with all the new words for shit. I thought the length, and number of subplots were the things that killed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 It's like the movie George Lucas would have made around 2000 if he'd never made Star Wars. It has a massively Lucasy feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 It's not as good as the books, but its damn close. I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Knowing that John Carter was, in some ways, "the original Star Wars" helped a bit. I liked it alright. I definitely would have been down for a sequel or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Event Horizon: The best film Paul W S Anderson ever made, and I appreciate that doesn't sound like high praise. But for all the flaws that come part and parcel with a supernatural space slasher (as massive a sub-genre as that is), it's pretty darn fun. Sam Neill and Larry Fishburne are the focal stars, but you also get Lucius Malfoy and the 3rd Doctor's son as part of ensemble that go on a salvage mission for a spaceship that has been to hell and back, literally. The gore is pretty self-contained, yet gruesome, and a podcast I listened to straight after watching the film labelled it as The Shining in space. At the end of the day, Paul W S Anderson didn't actually write the film and Mila Jovovich is nowhere near it, so knock yourself out with this one!

JackFetch Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I watched Quantum of Solace today. It was ok. Not as good as Casino Royale though. Daniel Craig seems to have aged 10 years in the face between movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 It's part of our faustian pact. We get Dark Knight a week ahead of you, and every Pixar film 4-5 months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
