Denzel Rocks.....Watch "The Fallen" again...what a classic!

He is great!

Saw the Mazerunner the other night and I definitely do not recommend it. Cool concept and based on a book which I haven't read (think it's aimed at teens but gets good reviews) but the script was atrocious, the acting nothing special and although the first half was watchable it spiralled into rubbish the last hour.

Jazza - is that the movie with James Franco about the end of the world and they are all at a party? I thinks it's called This is the End. If it's the same movie - I totally agree with you . What three movies were ahead of that one?

Might release my top 5,and start by nominating Anchorman 2.

Rust and Bone. French flick, same director as The Prophet which I loved. This one has Marion Coultard, don't let that put you off. Can be a hard watch with a down and out theme but a good flick.

Not sure if anyone's seen it, but the show that inspired me to become a filmmaker is returning in 2016, Twin Peaks. So excited. Not a film, but a DVD boxset.

Is that sarcasm, jazza?

Gone Girl. Bitter and twisted, which I thoroughly enjoy, and a very strong cast. 2 1/2 hours is a bit long, and the end seems to drag out. Maybe a function of the novelist being the screenwriter - couldn't kill her babies. A warning to those who don't like plot holes - this thing is a colander. If you can ignore the defects, it's worth a visit.

Thanks for that,on the previews at the cinema they must only show the good bits{duh}and you think the movie looks alright until somebody tells you different.

Of course the "star"of the movie is a piece of wood dud actor anyway.

I found the first half of the film predictable, but the final act was gripping and head ache-inducing. Bond girl Rosamund Pike is amazing. Fincher's direction is amazing, as is the cinematography. Reznor's score is wonderful too. A very solid watch.

I loved Gone Girl. I read the book earlier this year but still really enjoyed the movie. The cast were perfect - exactly how I pictured them while reading the novel. Not sure who's side I was on in the end....

Just spent the past three and a half weeks in the UK, Berlin, Brussels and Paris with my son. The long flights are a great chance to catch up on a few movies. Those that caught my attention were: The Chef, Pictures and Words, The Double (an odd little Brazil like film) and What We Do In The Shadows, which is a very funny and extremely well scripted mocumentary about a house shared by vampires in suburban New Zealand.

Calvary is an interesting watch.

Have a daughter that is rapt up the Hunger games.

Wife made me watch the first 2. 1 I could get through, 2nd I walked away from half way through.

Someone mentioned The Intouchables earlier in the thread and on that recommendation I watched it last night and really enjoyed it.

It may have been me Cards... I'm pretty sure I mentioned it. A feel good film. A few more I could recommend are: Philomena, Chef and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (which has been around for a while now and you may have already seen).

The bluray of 20,000 Days on Earth arrived a couple of weeks ago, so I'm looking forward to getting the opportunity to sit down and watch that. Most recent viewing at home was the Hayao Miyazaki animated film, The Wind Rises... as can be expected from Miyazaki, a fantastic piece of work.

Yeah it was HT, my go to rewatch feel good movie is A Good Year. Fing live it as the wife and I have spent some time around Gordes in the Sth of France.

Look up Calvary.

Just sat through 2.5 hours of Exodus, the new film. Not sure you should bother. If like me you had the story rammed down your throat as a child, you will know the key story points so you spend the second part of the film ticking off the events. The first hour drags a bit as they try to build the Moses vs Ramases rivalry but if you like violence it maybe your go.

The settings are done digitally but look at times very authentic. I have been to Mount Sinai where theb10 Commandments were first marketed and it looks very similar. I have seen the burning bush which when I was there was in good health, very green! It has recovered well and lives in Saint Catherine's Monastry in the Sinai. Long film, not sure you should bother.

Agreed. The book was better.

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I and my son just sat through almost 3 hrs of Interstellar at the IMAX in Sydney's Darling Harbour, and loved every second of it. I'm still not sure exactly what it was I saw, so this is at the top of my future Blu Ray purchases list as it definitely warrants multiple viewings.

Great movie... just the right mix of humour and violence. Very British.

[jane02 3,381]

I saw Fury on the weekend. Set towards the end of WW2 about a group led by Brad Pitt who operated a tank. All different personalities - worked great as a team. Quite heavy stuff - but I enjoyed it
