What was the last film you watched?

[David Martin]

Watching The Imitation Game. Seems good so far.

[Jakob]

Kick Ass, well it could have been the mood I was in, I loved it.  The colouring was great and it had two of my favourite actors in it, Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage. I stayed up way past. my bedtime for it

I watched it again too. I'd forgotten most of it, so it was remarkably fresh. Fun! I haven't seen 2, but remember that there was outrage at gratuitous violence. There must be quite a bit if there is more than in 1 !

There was a bit more, but it was more that it was very crude in comparison to the first one. I had low expectation to 2 (after reading the reviews) and I was still disappointed.
Kick Ass, however, remains one of the best Super Hero Films of modern times

[Steph]

May I suggest "Super" in that case?

"SHUT UP CRIME!"

Just watched the trailer. Looks my sort of movie.

Last night was "Hockney, Live from LA" , Screen 1 was full and there was applause at the end 

A rambling biopic from childhood to art school and then fame & fortune.  Lots of interviews with friends & family and excerpts from his own films and films others have made of him.   Lots of pictures....

He comes across as a nice, decent bloke.   Interesting facts, Hockney & his father were both concientious objectors & active in CND, he also describes his father painting a perfect straight line along the top tube of a bicycle , he gave up on cycling in LA though...

Now on iplayer  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05gv4zf/hockney

Run All Night.  Liam Neeson hitting people and shooting them in the face. With added Ed Harris.

The Acid House

The granite hardness of 90s working class Edinburgh, cut with the visceral imagination of Irvine Walsh.  I remember the five year period when this type of British film felt generation defining.  Through the distant window of time passed and encroaching middle age it still feels raw and essential, albeit uncomfortable and harsh.

Worth watching if you've not seen it in a little while.  Or if you haven't seen it before (as was the case for me).

Couldn't they have just called it

Trancers – mid 80s low budget mashup of Terminator and Blade Runner.  Tastes as good as it sounds.

Tagline was <gravelley trailer voice> “Jack Deth is Back and he’s never even been here before!”  </gravelley trailer voice>

Trancers stars Tim Thomerson who’s a bit of a cult star of the 1980s low budget world – another favourite of mine that stars him is Zone Troopers, a film about a US platoon in WW2 fighting nazis and aliens.

Trancers also has an early performance from Holly Hunt, who went on to star in altogether superior trash like Twister.

Shut up, I like Twister.

“Cow....another cow”

“Actually I think that’s the same cow”

The Imitation Game. It was OK if all a bit meh and That Otter Man was terribly affected and Kiera was terribly posh and everyone was just terribly, terribly, oh you know. And they make cracking Enigma look a bit like deciphering ROT13.

[padbeat]

The Only Lovers Left Alive

Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston and John Hurt. Beautifully filmed, beautifully paced, lovely clever and a plot you could write on a postcard. It was all about the chatacters, two vampires who have been married off and on for centuries and are deeply in love still, an old friend and a disruptive sister.

Thoroughly recommended.

[Pickled Onion]

I think I agree with you up to ...beautifully paced

The Right Stuff. More Ed Harris with added Dennis Quaid, Sam Sheppard, Lance Heinrickson, Veronica Cartright and the main man himself, General Chuck Yeager as the mad old dude at the drinking den

Shut up, I like Twister.

Noooo! Surely not? It's horrendous!

You should be ashamed of yourself! This film fails the Bechdel test by a ridiculously huge margin. The token women are all accessories, or cast offs.

Meanwhile - the science is utter bollox. Tornadoes don't act like that, storm chasers generally don't drive toward the storms, they run the FUCK the other way, and you don't get to chuck little shiny balls into them because they are fucking horrendous things that suck the very soil off the land, leaving nowt but bare rock. They are also very very small, and Tornado Alley is really fucking big. Where was the hour upon hour upon hour of tedious slogging up and down I60?

Simply shite.

Cows dont come out of it well either

[Kim]

Atomic Twister was even sillier, though didn't feature as many cows.

[Chris S]

Sorry you two. You got caught in a whirlwind of ETAs there.

[Mr Larrington]

Also there is no I-60.  The numbering of main E-W routes goes straight from I-40 (Wilmington NC - Barstow CA) to I-70 (Baltimore MD - Cove Fort UT)

Chris.  You're outvoted.  Twister's great

My Daily Mail reading, slightly homophobic parents were enthusing over a pirated download of Love is Strange at the weekend .....

I see. Route 60 is not I60, but a confederate conglomerate mess of other I routes.
