Gemmill 34761 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The oddest thing was how easily he let him get away with claiming (in 2013) that he was clean in 2009. He so obviously wasn't - why would he be given that he's made it very clear that he thought doping was basically acceptable in as much as it was required to compete at the top level.

Jill 0 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The Woodsman. I thought it was well acted, but on the whole didn't agree with the numerous 9-10/10 ratings I've seen. More of a 6 for me, just couldn't get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Lone Survivor. Not bad but more than a touch unbelievable. Typical American fare but a lot better than Peter Bergs last film. Now You See Me. Started well but run out of steam. Ended up being very much like the magic tricks they performed, all style & no substance.

Park Life 70 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Apparently filming started before Armstrong was exposed and that informs the approach of the doc. Switched from hagiography to a Oprah style rehabilitation. Not seen it, but the reviews suggest that it's as much a look at how willing Alex Gibney would willingly believe the blatant lies from Armstrong that had been widely scoffed at going back years and approach the film as a glowing tribute to someone clearly off his tits whenever he so much as rode to the shops. As much as I loved Enron, Taxi To The dark Side and Mea maxima Culpa I've not been in too much of a hurry to watch his Wikileaks doc because the interviews he did to promote it seemed so weighted against Assange & Co. Even the title "We Steal Secrets" describes something a CIA director said, but is used to imply criminality by Wikileaks. Wonder more about his judgement with every film he does. Australians are basically South Africans lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole nearly getting his head chopped off thing was artistic licence too I know it's a true story but it's clearly been through the Hollywood treatment. No surprise to hear that there was actually less Taliban and I'm quite certain that if they'd actually jumped forty foot and landed back first onto a rock they wouldn't be getting up any time soon!

Dr Gloom 19862 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Wolf of Wall Street. Goodfellas with traders instead of gangsters. Enjoyable Scorsese fare. 8/10 Taking my young un to see the Lego movie tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19862 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Lego movie was quite bizarre. A lot of the humour was lost on my son but he was transfixed anyway. Enjoyable enough way to spend a Sunday evening 5.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Had a bit of a movie marathon today, covering Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf of Wall Street, Captain Phillips & Filth. Captain Phillips was the most entertaining for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Monuments Men. Really terrible. Was thinking about a sleep after half an hour.

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Just seen the Lego Movie with my nephew and sister, very silly but in an enjoyable way. Half the fun was trying to spot the different types of lego I had as a kid. I had the spaceman that was in the film, in white rather than blue and his helmet (fnar fnar) was broken in exactly the same way as the character.

ewerk 26541 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Surprise, surprise it was In Bruge. I watched this when it first came out on DVD and was thoroughly unimpressed. On second viewing I have no idea why I didn't like it. It doesn't quite feel like a film but in a good way, well acted with some very quotable lines that we have already seen today. 9/10. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any direct flights from Ireland to Bruges, otherwise I'd be planning a trip in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12462 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Aye it's a corker. Bruges is a magical place with the canals and swans and that. Edited March 2, 2014 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
