You could be on to something there.  It must have been a lovely train, as she also said she likes it in the caboose.

 

It even had a dining car, she did mention eating out.

Very elegant.  Must be one of the old coal powered trains as well, as she mentioned having 2 sweaty men shovelling it in at the same time.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

The book thief .Superb film based on the best selling book of the same name. Sophie Nélisse  is going to be a huge star if she carries on acting the way she does. Remarkable performance from the 13 year old playing the lead character.

9/ 10

You dont really need me, do you?

Has anyone seen The Railwayman yet?

Is that where Jenny Agutter gets her cat out ?

I misjudged you, CD, I thought you were better than that

 

No takers then?

Must have been thinking about American Werewolves.

I do, indeed.  Every good story needs a heroine.

With all the bad reviews it was a lot better than expected. If you like Japanese Samurai crossed with supernatural stuff then its worth a watch.

 

6.5/10

Saw it over the weekend as the third leg of an Imprisonment And Torture triple bill with 12 Years A Slave and Mandela.  Made me feel a bit misanthropic, actually.

 

As for The Railway Man, it was fairly decent.  When I saw the trailer I had little interest in seeing it until Firth slid the blade out of a boxcutter and it looked like it might be a bit edgy, against all the odds.  The flashbacks scenes with Jeremy Irvine doing a Colin Firth impression were probably the more interesting, and I didn't know anything of how the true story turned out so the finale was quite tense.  A perfectly reasonable 7/10 for me.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Alpha Papa. 7/10 full of boss lines. I laughed for the majority.

[Scott_M]

Wolf Of Wall Street 9/10.

 

Brilliant stuff. Very Goodfella's with the story arc and the was Di Caprio narrates the whole movie. Genuinely hilarious in places. I was hooked from him sniffing crack out a hookers ass in the first minute!

 

The lass who plays his wife (his 2nd wife, not the first one, urgh, he reminded me of Angie Bonpensiero) was simply amazing. Might have to go to see it at the cinema just to see the scene where she struts in naked again.

 

Di Caprio was well worth his Golden Globe win also. The 'cerebral palsy' bit was terrifically acted, as we other scenes like when he tries to bribe the FBI agent.

 

Quite how anybody voting for the Golden Globes though American Hustle is better than this leaves me puzzled. I'll be hard pushed to see a better film in 2014 than this. Ace.

What were you thinking about!

 

Anyhow, thanks for answering. I'll report back

[Hand Shandy]

Hugs? Fucking hugs?

 

Someone neg this for me please.

[Hand Shandy]

Wrong thread - fucking phone!

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Wrong thread - fucking phone!

 

 

Is that the one with Colin Farrell, the smart busniess man, who picks it up and isn't allowed to put it down ??

[Hand Shandy]

That's the one.

 

It was OK, but nowt special.

 

5 out of 10 for me.

[Faustus]

Have to echo what people have said about American Hustle. I didn't think it was a bad film as such (defo seen far worse), just really underwhelming. I thought the cast were all pretty good but it just didn't engage me at all and I was pretty bored about an hour in. I'd give it a 5/10.

 

As an aside, while I genuinely think Jennifer Lawrence is a talented actress but am I the only person who thinks she's been miscast in David O. Russell's stuff? I think do think she does an alright job both in Hustle and Silver Linings (even though I didn't like the film), but considering in the former she's supposed to be Bale's wife whose old enough to be her dad, and in the latter she's supposed to be a widow and had a troubled time with sex addiction, I just wasn't having either because she's a kid in her twenties and looks it in both. I'm probably the only person who thinks this like, but was doing my head in watching both.

 

Saving Wolf of Wall Street for the weekend. Really looking forward to that one.

[Alan Sex]

Django Unchained.

 

Did exactly what it said on the box.  Good, raunchy Tarantino fun.  8 years out of 10 slaves.

[Markmywords]

Harry Potter and the half cocked wank

 

Was pretty shit until i fell asleep then it got better for a bit then i woke up and I didnt know hwat the fuck was going on

 

On the plus side hermione is approaching legal age so if i'm made to watch the next one maybe i'll allow myself not to feel too guilty about certain thoughts.

 

3/10

[Guest LFD]

Anchorman 2 - Some funny bits, some not so funny parts.  Enjoyed it overall, but not as much as the first one.  7.5 / 10

[Mendoza]

The Book Thief- decent enough despite some dodgy accents- 7/10

 

Machete Kills- actually thought it was better than the first, a few genuine laughs to be had- 6/10.

[Jairzinho]

A.C.O.D - 6/10 - Meh.

 

But...Mary Elizabeth Winstead...

 

[Anny Road]

Escape Plan. Does what it says on the tin. Arnie and Sly. Should be shit and probably is. Good fun and it's Arnie so fuck you. 7.1/10

[Ian Sea]

Django Unchained - 6/10. Thought it was OK but nothing more. Django was just a bit of a shit character for me, just wore a blue suit. His mate was far better, should have named the film after him. In fact, the film should have been about him being a bounty hunter after he left dentistry, that would have been boss.

Careful. Analyzing Tarantino films has been shown to cause brain tumours in lab monkeys.
