Recently Watched Movies/General Movie Discussion

midnight in paris: Was really good. 8/10. I feel like it could of been a lot better, they should of done more with it and tbh a lot of things should of been explained but weren't. Overall another great woody movie

Burke & Hare - 7.5/10

Good film overall but it was a bit dry at times.

Moneyball: 10/10 math+sport

The Descendants - I liked it a lot. Acting's great, story's believable, very funny at times but equally heartfelt at others.

Martha Marcy May Marlene - Well made with a great central performance from Elizabeth Olsen. John Hawkes gives a very haunting performance as well. Ambiguous ending that will receive mixed reactions. I thought it was alright but slightly too vague. Andrey Arshavin is mentioned in the film at one point when the protagonist spots him on the television and refers to him as the one who looks like a kid.

Have you seen it yet, Mal?

BG do you know when The Great Gatsby comes out?

Pretty sure it was late 2012. Not really looking forward to it. Get the feeling that they'll fuck it up. It's always a risk to adapt highly acclaimed source material.

Did you like the Robert Redford one?

I've purposely avoided it. Did you like it?

Not really actually. All I wanted to do was murder Daisy the whole way throughout, so annoying, Redford wasnt bad though.

Yeah, so I've read. Apparently she overacts way too much. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised they chose someone like Robert Redford to do Gatsby, as I am surprised that they have chosen DiCaprio for the new one. They're both capable actors, but they're such big film stars and I feel that they're a bit too masculine for the role of Gatsby. Gatsby's supposed to be quite vulnerable and slightly effeminate in appearance. I guess DiCaprio's capable of producing that (as proven in Titanic), but I feel there were better options out there.

Andrew Garfield would have made a good Nick

Agreed. He would have been perfect actually, in my opinion.

I'm reading the great gatsby right now

Tobey Maguire is in the latest film adaptation of The Great Gatsby? Fucking seriously?

he's nick

I'm at a loss for words...

He fucking sucks.

Carlito's way - 8/10

I'm gonna put it on tonight so I will come back with my judgement of it tomorrow.

Paranormal activity 3 - 1/10

The Loved Ones 9/10

It's an Australian horror flick. Intense, kinda gory. But it's a good one.

The Mask 7/10, funny but a bit too stupid.

Cameron Diaz.

Loved the mask as a kid

I never watched it as a kid, it was on ComedyCentral again so I though I would give it a watch.

Same man, theres still a video of me on Christmas day at like 5 years old getting a Mask toy, I've never seen such joy

'It's kinda of a funny story' 9/10 I really enjoyed it.

I really wanna watch this film, but I want to read the book first and I cant find it anywhere

I've seen that film. It was alright but nothing special.
