Prisoners

Many have been raving about this one and have to say I thought it was terrific.

Thriller by genre and it certainly was that, very suspenseful. Some fantastic acting from Gyllenhaal, Jackman, Leo and Paul Dano.

I think the ending is fairly weak but other than that a thoroughly.....enjoyable movie. I say that with reservation as the plot doesn't lend itself to enjoyment.

Reckon this film will win it's fair share of awards and I certainly recommend it.

8/10

:thumbsu: Not sure how you knock 2 points off. To use RK's term, Villenueve is a boss. Incendies then this :thumbsu:
 
My son bought a copy of 'Rear Window' on Blu-Ray and we watched it last night. If you take a step back and think about it the story is implausible. The fact that a good script and Hitchcock's direction can make a reality in your mind is brilliant. Great cast with James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Thelma Ritter, Wendell Corey and Raymond Burr as the bad guy. A little risqué with the newly weds and the dancer who touches her toes and teases the viewers in more than one scene. A little sad with the lonely woman in the ground floor flat. The music is provided by one of the residents. And Hitchcock appears in the film fleetingly. Four stars. :cool:
 
The Butler

Saw this one last night. I wasn't sure what I thought after the movie, and I'm still not sure now.

Part of me loved it, but there was also something about it that I just hated.

Brilliant cast and a reasonable story. I think what I disliked was the extent to which to movie deviated from the truth. The story is a great one and worthy of a movie without moving away from the facts. Personally I would have preferred a movie much more aligned with the facts than one with so many fictitious interjections.

I'll settle and call this a good movie. It wasn't terrible, and it could have been great, but it just wasn't.

6.5/10. I think...

Gilly likely will, as he's an O. Russell fan.

I'm looking forward to Inside Llewyn Davis at this stage.........................and I've just realised that I haven't seen A Serious Man yet. :confused:

Looking forward to reading his critique.
Likes to think of himself as a bit of a movie buff.

:rolleyes:
 
I liked Dogma





Don't expect any love from the music and film clique on the Carlton board...

Bad Grandpa is a funny skit. No way the jokes could have carried an entire movie.

Strippers and Beauty Pageant were quality. I thought it started really slow and the skits were not that funny.

If it was a couple of the smaller skits in a jackass movie then it would be funny, but you can't just spam the same jokes for 90 minutes and expect gold.
