Gemmill 35640 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Gone Baby Gone. Really enjoyed it. That's two things I've seen Casey Affleck in and he's been very good in both (the other being the Assassination of Jesse James). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Quantum of Solice good honest action flick but Bond is not seeming like Bond these days. Firstly there were no gadgets (which meant no dialogue with Q), no car (he had an Aston at the start but that was in the pre-credits bit only). Hes also lost the quickfire witty comments that Bond is famous for. I like Daniel Craig as an actor and as a Bond but somehow I think the writers are trying to make him too realistic and part of the fun of JB (imo) was the fact you'd watch it thinking "aye reet, course you just did that, its obvious that you would jump off a 10 storey building without looking landing on the tail of a plane with your magnetic underpants".

David Kelly 1117 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Short Cuts. I don't know why I bother with these multi stranded drama's as they all leave me cold and this one more than most given that the connections with most of the characters was that they standed next to each other at some point. That said the acting is first class and the direction good. A Matter Of Life & Death. Brilliant, Niven is class but this is the second Powell & Pressburger film I've seen recently where Roger Livesey has been absolutely class.

Jill 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 The Orphanage Thought it was alright, but the end was a bit predictable for me and the story a bit stupid in places. Probably worth a watch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Quarantine Not too bad for an American remake, but [REC] was far better. Can't really get away with that tart from Dexter who was the lead role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooner 243 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Requiem for a Dream.....excellent again again Before the Devil knows You're Dead...........Really nice surprise, although a tad dark Quantum of Solace.........agree with other posters on here, they are trying to make Bond too ordinary, if I wanted real life I wouldn't have bought a ticket to see Bond.

David Kelly 1117 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Righteous Kill. A lot better than I was expecting tbh. Fairly standard fair and a wasted oppertunity with the talent on display with a twist as obvious as they come but a resonably entertaining thriller all the same.

Kid Dynamite 6098 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 4 christmases - Standard Vince Vaughan fare. Reese Witherspoon horribly miscast Quarantine - Ok.
