Happy Face 29 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The Jungle Book. The middle section with bare necessities and king of the swingers is as good a 15 minutes entertainment for all ages as you'll get. The ending with the tart leading Mowgli to humanity is perfect too. The elephants are canny but the vultures are shite. Supposed to be a Beatles vehicle apparently, but they pulled out. It drags the film out that bit. Could have been a perfect 60 minutes.

NJS 3986 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The soundtrack was the first record I owned as a kid - I guess the equivalent of a DVD today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Eden Lake. Reasonably good horror/thriller. I found Fassbender surprisingly wooden early on although he wasn't helped by some poor dialogue (fancy a brewsky!). But once things started going to shit he improved dramatically.

Looking forward to seeing it and how excited he will be, but absolutely dreading seeing people my age dressed up, which they're bound to be.

Howmanheyman 26981 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Loved the first three as a kid, only seen the first of the sequels and just couldn't get away with it. I might give this a watch though I reckon more out of curiosity with a few of the originals being in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing it and how excited he will be, but absolutely dreading seeing people my age dressed up, which they're bound to be. I'm going to try and watch it at the IMAX, but I'm caught between a rock and a Hoth place. Daytime showings will be families, and they're awful. Nighttime showings will be Ubernerds dressed up like this poindexter and they're worse. by the way, everyone is sure that Luke is the bad guy. No Hammill in any of the trailers and the bad guy always has his face covered. I'm not convinced though. Not sure how many films the old stars have signed up for, but I'd be surprised if they were in all of them, if that's the case then you can't have the big bad guy offed in the 1st of the trilogy, can you?

Right, we've got some aliens, lets give them big lips, make their ears look like dreads, have them lope along like the crows from the Kia-Ora and oh yeah, let's have them talk in an affected patoir that brings Uncle Tom to mind. Then we've got some businessy aliens, let's make them kind of Oriental... they're good with numbers and that, right? Finally there's a greedy merchant, let's give him a massive hook nose and make him sound "a bit jewy" Oh and of course, there's the "Sand People" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it assigned seating? Forget the Death Penalty, that's some real barbaric shit right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19840 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 taking my little boy to see this at the cinema. he's already star wars obsessed, he's seen the three originals and the first two of the prequels. i stopped short of showing him the third prequel as it's actually pretty dark, and probably the best of those three. not difficult given the state of the first two.

Dr Gloom 19840 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 he was fine with that. the only bit in any of the movies he struggled with was when vadar takes his helmet off, revealing annakin's disfigured head, before dying. so i figured the third prequel when annakin is left chopped in two, with his legs in flames, might be a bit much.

David Kelly 1117 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The trailer looks like they've done the right thing taking it out of Lucas's hands and getting shot of the CGI. Star Wars is the film that got me interested in films and I still love all the original films and really like the third of the prequels (they maybe could have made one half decent film out of the first two) so I'll be off to see this as soon as it's out. Gonna try for the IMAX. Isn't Adam Driver playing the main bad guy with Brienne one of the cheif henchmen? I watched Mr Holmes last night. It's not really the mystery you want from a film about Sherlock Holmes but still a pretty decent film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
