I like a good old fashioned action alien invasion movie and enjoyed "the Darkest Hour".  Either I've got bad taste (highly likely) or just different tastes to the critics, who didn't really rate it at all.  Setting it in Moscow was a change from NY or LA (or even London, I suppose).  Acting, hardly Shakespearian, but doesn't have to be for this type of film.

I'm not one for alien/space films myself... although ironically i do enjoy the first two 'Alien' films.

Rawky loves a good Rom-Com

any rom-com's better than that Twilight shit.

Language Timothy !!!!

Lol

Saint, did you see Abe Lincoln or Snow White and the Huntsman? I'm probably going to see the latter this week.

I have The Descendants, Green Lantern, and Take Shelter waiting to be watched, but with Wimbledon and the footie, not sure when!

I watched Attack the Block last night - blooming enjoyed it i did.

I didn't see either - my friend was poorly

I've decided if we can get together we are seeing Abe Lincoln !!

Whoop

Just started watching Alien 3 (i think channel 4 are showing the films, in order, every week). I don't have great memories of it... surprised to hear it had been oscar nominated.

I don't think I saw the third Alien film, just the first two.

Saw Snow White and the Huntsman:

Better than I expected, with striking visual effects and cinematography. A dark fairytale with a chilling performance from Charlize Theron. Kristen Stewart was a fitting Snow White, although she still retains some mannerisms from the Twilight movies, which is very annoying. Her accent was good too.
Chris Hemsworth was great, although I thought his Scottish accent was a bit ropey at times, but I will forgive him because I am a tiny bit in love with him.
Very enjoyable film, but I felt there was something lacking, the story could have flowed a bit better. I think perhaps the director tried to do too many things.

Next time I go to the cinema, I will request back row seats to prevent a repeat of last night when the chavs sitting behind me constantly kicked my seat, and the little cowards ran off before the credits rolled. That's the only problem with going to the cinema - other people, lol.

I watched Take Shelter last night. If you have a decent attention span, give it a go. It's a great film. Slow-burning, but rewarding. Excellent performance from Michael Shannon.

I watched A lonely place to die last night. Quite a simple film but very good 

I thought it started off very well. Great shots and location, but the last 30 minutes were a bit of a let down, as it wasn't such a 'lonely place to die'... if you catch my drift Lacey? 

I watch Young Adult last night. Its and independent comedy, wasn't bad. More drama than comedy though.

 Found a naughty free on line movie channel and been re-watching Twilight Saga - nice

I don't know what I'm more disgusted with, watching films illegally or that fact its Twilight.

What's wrong with robbing Hollywood?

Rawky be disgusted, be very disgusted . . . but at the right people.

Watched "Vampires Suck" last night.

I was pleasantly surprised how funny some parts were

oh god, it get's even worse with you.

Rawky Rawky Rawky . . . *sits back and relaxes*

Unlike so many, I haven't, how can i put it ... felt the need to "show off".

I hate snobbery yet it exists in so many places

Even in movie gawping - it exists

I have my silly moments and movies like "Vampires Suck" render me in fits of giggles. I don't sneer at their silliness - i embrace it.

And hurrah for that !!

The Bofor's Gun.

John Thaw and Nicol Williamson.

Feck Hollywood and their humour attempts..

I was dragged to see Rock of Ages last night...

... I bloomin loved it!

Okay, its got some really duff, soppy moments but the actual covers of the 80's rock songs were really good. Go to watch it for a bit of fun, don't expect a masterpiece.

Going to see the new Spiderman film today in 3D.....hope it's good.  I love taking the kids to see films but this just doesn't interest me at all.

Thank God for the extra salty popcorn.

How was it, Ells? Any good?

In the past couple of weeks, I've seen Green Lantern, Shawshank Redemption(yes, I'd never seen it before, lol), Brothers, and The Descendants.

I am SO excited about The Dark Knight Rises, can't wait!!

It was better than expected Katerina.  I really wasn't looking forward to it but it was fine.

My 10 year old thought it was amazing as did his 22 year old uncle.

They're really looking forward to the Dark Knight aswell, bro in law has his ticket bought since 2 weeks ago.

The Dark Knight Rises  is excellent. I bloody loved it and will go to see it again if I get the chance. Best movie trilogy ever!

I would say that watching Batman Begins and The Dark Knight before going to the cinema will give the viewer the best experience.

Wow, nice to see this thread re-emerge. Better give some updates:

The Dark Knight Rises: was good, although I'm not a fan of Batman - The Avengers was better.

Arahan: Korean film (getting in some practice). Martial arts with super powers, pretty funny too.

Outcast: British horror film with James Nesbitt and some bird from Dr Who. Not bad. Quite gritty and urban

Backdraft: Classic 90's films, although a tad bit schmultzy than i remember.

I did love Avengers, but I'm a Batman geek and TDKR just edged it for me.

The last DVD film I saw was Adventureland, I thought it was a bit weak, Jesse Eisenberg was nothing special, and Kristen Stewart once again employs the extremely irritating 'smile and then grimace as if something hurts' acting technique from Twilight.

Have also seen The Proposal and The Change-up(I've been having a bit of a Ryan Reynolds moment lately) The former was not good, the latter quite funny.

I also saw Bridesmaids, but didn't like it.

He He - Now is that a challenge I wonder? Anyone wanna be first?

Indiana Jones (not including the 4th film)

Done!

I watched one on TV the other night, not my cup of tea to be fair.

Really disliked the fourth Indy film.

Thought you may have gone Godfather Trilogy.

For me, The Dollars Trilogy.

Debbie Does Dallas Trilogy... 

or Back to the Future

or Lord of The Rings... but i see that as one film.

On The Buses

Mutiny On The Buses

Holiday On The Buses

The Dollars trilogy is a contender for sure, been a long time since I've seen those films.

I thought Back to the Future part 3 was a bit weak.

The original 3 Star Wars films. surely?

Which versions? Lucas has messed around with them so much, editing this, re-CGI'ing that.

But on a serious note, I've never been much of a fan, enjoyed them at the time, but they don't hold up for me over time. I know a lot of people hold Star Wars up as a great film, but I much prefer 2001 A Space Odyssey.

watching Taken, seen it before but its worth another watch

Well, me too actually, but we're talking trilogies here.

I personally think the original Star Wars film does still stand up as a great adventure film. Most Star Wars fans tend to think that "The Empire Strkes Back" was the best of the series, though...

wild bill

Two recent films I have seen:

Straightheads (Gillian Anderson & Danny Dire), yep I know it's Dyer. A plot I've seen before.

Lockout (Guy Pearce) - I thought it was going to be an Outland remake, but I was pleasantly surprised, the humour helped. Still, won't be making it's way into my film collection.
