luckyluke 1 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Drive. Absolutely superb. Really loved Drive. The other top film doing the rounds is Tyranasour. Looking forward to that ... though I live in trepidation of what I've heard about the opening scene. Saw the trailer for Tyranasour... spent the entire time thinking of Peep Show, how on earth am I meant to take it seriously Think you will once he starts killing dogs. They do that in Peep Show as well iirc. Edited December 8, 2011 by luckyluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Pollock: that wife of his was a clinger, if the film's recollection of his life was factually accurate. Good film though. 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Contagion. Could not believe how bad this film was. Would have improved with an extra 30 minutes edited out, but still wouldnt have saved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34167 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The American. Clooney job about an American hit man hiding out in Italy. It's really slow paced and looks amazing. I enjoyed it. Good ending too. The lass in it is out of this world btw. Violante Placido is her name for you google fiends, although there are no pictures on there that do justice to what she looks like in the film.

It got some stick for being slow, but I dont need/want every film to be a bourne spin-off. Enjoyed the atmosphere etc. Can I point you in the direction of a similar film? Have a look at Conseguenzia dell`amore ( the concequences of love). The lass there is rather fit also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34167 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nice one, cheers. I'll give that a look. And yeah, every now and again it's nice to watch something a bit less frantic. Clooney was really good in it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonamental 0 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just watched the new Sherlock Holmes. Its alright. Pretty similar formula to the first really (as to be expected). Some enjoyable set pieces, but prob enjoyed the first one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) American: Bill Hicks Very nice piece and interesting to see all the footage of him from various periods. He was obviously heavily influenced by Sam Kinison at an early point: the delivery, the material (about wishing death upon his ex), even the look with the black trenchcoat were all recognisible if you're familiar with Kinison's stuff. That was before his alcoholism really kicked in. There is a myth surrounding Hicks, that he never made it big in America because Americans are just too stupid to understand his material--the reality is, he hadn't developed enough when he first moved to LA in his teens, his progress when he moved back to Texas was halted by his substance abuse problems, and it's simply harder to become big in the US than it is in the UK where he found his niche, appealing to the anti-american sentiments that are common here. I believe he could have hit big in the US had he lived, especially now, but towards the end he had began to prosthelytize, and a comedy club is not the place for that, unless you can make it very funny. That is the big criticism of Hicks in America. I admired him for the way he handled himself after his diagnosis, and I didn't know he was a musician before I saw this. One thing the film didn't show was the state of comedy at the time Hicks was performing and whether he was truly a so-called 'boundary-pusher', but that's a wider topic.

I'm a big Hicks fan, but I did think that the film whitewashed some of the more unattractive bits of his nature. Still, well worth seeing if you're a fan.

Barney 0 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I never enjoyed Hicks comedy, I find it way too preachy. Reminded me more of a fella on a soap box ranting and raving. Anyway : Warrior - 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34167 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I must be one of about 5 blokes in Britain thoroughly underwhelmed by The Inbetweeners. Thought it was alright the first few episodes I saw, but it's just dead average. My mates all calling one another "bumders" and that. Jesus wept.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think im getting too old for the inbetweeners. Average acting and the "get laid" theme was fun back when american pie ruled and I was 15-16. I cant decide if its the scripted acting or if Im too old.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Loved season one of Inbetweeners. Maybe it's more likeable if you were or knew similar characters from your youth. Quite often have young drunks in the car shouting bus bastards/peasants. ? ?? at folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
