I watched the Dark Night last night . Very good film ,

I wont say to much but the film starts of with loads of Clowns Robbing a Bank , So right in to the Action , just the way i like it. I would rate it 9/10 so really good Film.

Nice one.

No rehearsals this Sunday, so The Wife & I will probably go watch this instead.

well i watched mama mia in a packed cinema last night, was one of about 5 blokes in about 150 women, every one stood up and danced at some point yes that means me too....hey it was 30 women each what do you expect!

i must say the locations are wonderful, the acting was great (but look who is in it) the singing was on the whole very good,

PB was a bit iffy at times, stellan skarsgard didnt sing much but was good (never knew he could do that!!)

Colin Frith and Julie Walters were underused as regards their comic ability but she can sing (him not so much)

but i must say that its a very good sweet light fluffy sing - a - long family film thats about missed chances for love and covering up true feelings

stay for the credits for PB, CF and SS camped up to the nines in 70's glam gear...people may mock stellan and Piearce in particular for doing somthing so ''low brow'' but good on em for doing something so different (singing!) and looking like their sooo having fun!

so it does what it says on the tin very well so its a 8 out of 10 from me

Saw Wall E a couple of night ago, the first 30-40 minutes are excellent , I think the story will be lost on younger kids even though they will love Wall E and Eva.

Rcently watched Pans Labyrinth on DVD ,somehow never got round to watching it, one of the best films I have seen over the past couple of years.

Dark Knight.

hmmm, not tempted by a trip back to narnia or angelina jolie

I hated almost every self-satisfied moment of the first Narnia film (which I knew I would - only watched to be a good Auntie), so have no plans to watch the second.

And Wanted looks like a load of enjoyable nonsense that'll play far better on my big screen at home with a few beers in a couple of months' time! (As opposed to with an over-iced, over-priced soft drink and a cinema of idiots talking through it).

And yes, I am in a bad mood.

You need to find yourself a good local cinema Clare. An oldy world one, rather than one of these 10 screen rip offs.

Try one of the 'Screens' ie 'screen on the green' in islington, or the one in Baker Street, or perhaps the Electric in Notting Hill, where you can get a double leather sofa and take wine in with you. Or even the Rio in Dalston, rough area but a nice cinema and plenty of kebabs available from the surrounding shops afterwards given it's like little Istanbul...

They don't have the same choice in pick n mix though but hey you can't have everything!

I went to The Dark Knight this morning 11am show, only 5 people there and it cost the grand total of 3euros. Pure happiness !!

Could be true, but remember that by buying the stuff you're actively supporting what you say you hate most. That's market economy for you!

I've just come home after seeing Wall-e, and I have to say it's quite different from what I expected it to be. For me, this was the first Pixar production that was definitely for kids only.
The ten years olds had a grand time, so I'm happy for them....but to be honest, apart from a few brilliant touches, it could have been produced by dreamworks (shudder!).

The characters felt like puppets being controlled. It felt like they were being steered into the direction the director wanted; sometimes this showed through unnatural dialogue, sometimes through very predictable turns in the script.

That's it. It felt predictable- something I couldn't accuse hardly any previously released pixar movie of. Incredibles was super, ratatouille was grand, but Wall-e I'm sad to say, is not a classic.

Next on the bigscreen for me will be the new Shane Meadows film, Somers Town, which I'm particularly keen to see as it's pretty much my neck of the woods. After that it'll be The Dark Knight, perhaps at the IMAX if I can convince the boss that its worth the extra few tube stops for a dizzy den experience.

Next on the small screen will be Son of Rambow and Persepolis. I'm refreshing my memory of both prior to reviewing them on The Leisure Lab.

anyone know what the new star wars cartoon film is supposed to be like, worth a cinema punt or wait for DVD?

wonder if it will be the first star wars on bluray!

 

[Big Chris]

Over the last couple of nights I've watched...

'In Bruges', Vantage Point' & '10,000 B.C'.

Of the 3, In Bruges was my fave, but the others weren't bad either. (Yes, I was expecting 10,000 B.C to blow big time, but it wasn't as bad as I'd been led to believe.)

If the phantom menace is anything to go by then it'll surely disappoint. I'm going to give it a miss.

Not bad. It jumps around to 4/5 different people to see their P.O.V of an event. It would be frustrating as I'd start to get hooked by a particular piece, just for it to go back in time and pick up with a different character. Also, it's not quite as clever as it thinks it is, but a worthy watch none-the-less.

I watched 'Ratatouille' the other night. Really enjoyed it. Also watched 'Dragon Wars' which wasn't awful, but it wasn't good. Quality of both the acting and the picture came across more like an episode of some program rather than a film.

Also watched 'In The Name Of The King'...........Rubbish......... I think the editor was on something.

 

[timwileman]

i had a feeling 'd wars' and 'in the name of' were gonna be a bit iffy so will wait for them to show up on TV
