I’m not particularly keen on Ryan Reynolds so it lost a couple of points from me based on the lead actor.

I really enjoy TiST. The purchase is to replace my DVD copy. Does my blu-ray player go to 11?  

the purge

a little bit like whats going on in Brazil

Governments are nawty

I'm loving your "Haiku" style of movie reviews Pirate.

im a bit straight to the point arent I?

sorry

Takes skill to sum up a film in three lines.

Maybe we should have a review thread with a three line rule.

now that would be good

yet bloody difficult

shall i start a thread?

ie

*trading places*

they swapped

they swapped again

they got their own back

Mmm, I trying to think of a film and sum it up in three lines.

I enjoyed it as a turn off the brain and enjoy the action. Have you seen the Arnie original?

They are not the same.

When I commented on Total Recall (page 12) I said I liked it better than the original too, but Carnelian had a different viewpoint (you can read his comments  : https://www.gagajoyjoy.com/topi...4#304441773696589244).

What does (IOHYCO) stand for?

I bought Sunshine Cleaning on blu-ray for £2.99 recently in the HMV sale, bit of a flyer, but may give it a spin this weekend.

Anyone seen it?

Bargain!

I watched Sunshine Cleaning a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I do like drama flicks that focus on “little people” and this is a good example with a strong cast.

Sounds promising, thanks CS. I don't mind blind buys if they are cheap enough. I know that if I don't like at £2, £3 or £4 I can probably sell on and get my money back rather than ad to my collection.

With work and all, really not getting time to watch anything, but it's not stopping me purchasing.

Bought Howl the other day for a £5 note. Another flyer being a film about Ginsberg.

I take it no one is watching many films.

Anyone been to the cinema and seem Man of Steel or Pacific Rim, the latter looks really good if you want to turn off the brain for 90 mins and enjoy a Transformers type romp.

watched The Conjuring last night

i actually screamed & the dogs ran upstairs

I watched  to kill a mocking bird , yesterday, I'd forgotten how far ahead of it's time  it was.

i 'read' that at one of the schools i never really attended-but the plot sounds good-i should've bothered to read or at least watch the film

We did the book for  exams, I had trouble with the film at first because my images in my head were  completely different to the ones in the film.

But the way the film was shot, was 50's i think, was really ahead of it's time, it's still very watchable all this time later.

Harper Lee, wrote about her father, which is where the book came from, I think it's the only book she ever wrote.

Set during the depression and  in the south, when white people ruled and black people were oppressed.

sounds a bit like *a time to kill* sandra bullock/samuel L jackson

We went on Friday to see it.  Definitely worth a watch.

I've not watched any new films for about 5 years,lol.

I really don't like hollywood blockbusters, slick humour or war of the worlds type films.Not keen on scary, gory stuff either.Nor setimental stuff.

i detest slasher/gory movies..i like a good thriller or a supernatural film-and the conjuring didnt half make me jump/shout/yell/scream like a girl

clap clap

Lol,  you big wuss...

I run away from spiders...

and me JB lol

Me too. I have seen some and they are less about artistic merit and entertainment than how to kill/maim in the most gory way possible. What kind of people make or enjoy these things?

We took the boy and his mate to see it with us, the boy was crapping it.  I swear I'm going to sneak in his room one night while he's sleeping and *clap clap* in his ear.

Or maybe pull his foot

I don't like gory films either, I used to when I was a teen but not anymore, I prefer something that will make me jump.

the wardrobe bit made me scream!

OH nearly p*ssed herself laughing at me

i wont say anymore about film cos it'll spoil it for people going to watch

apart from the Warren couple are real-they did investigation into amytiville & theyre the only people who proved in a court of law that a house some bird lived in was haunted & that doll is real

same doll but artistic lisence i think they call it

If you don't mind black and white films which are subtitled watch the French 1955 film Les Diaboliques. No gore in that film but is guaranteed to make you jump. The director increases the tension in the film's climax to an almost inbearable level and then .....

Don't watch the American 1996 remake.

El Loro, I have seen the 1996 remake but not the original, I might get it as a 'to watch when husband is out' movie. Bless him, he can't cope with subtitles, still building up his words you see.

I've just noticed Citizen Kane is on at 9pm. I've never understood why this film is rated so highly, so I will watch it again given my last viewing was many years ago.
