We watched Ready or Not a couple of nights back.
I was a little apprehensive at first but the black comedy aspect took the emphasis away from the gory parts. I really enjoyed it.
-
The last one we saw was "The Hobbit". It was on TV the other day.
We have been re-watching some movies during the pandemic but we really want to see "Tenent" but we are very leery about going to the movie theatre. I just don't think its a good idea. So we will have to wait until it's released on Blu-Ray or Netflix.
I like Christopher Nolan's mind-bending movies. Inception is my favourite one.
-
I haven’t been to see a film in the cinema for years. I think the last one I saw was Valkyrie. I don’t think I’d want to go into a cinema either at the moment, I’m far too paranoid.
Was The Hobbit good?
-
Oh Mucha, I was thinking about starting a new thread for films,well done :)
We watched Bridge of spies but it wasn't really that great,even though the brilliant Tom Hanks was in it.
One of my favourite films EVER is Untouchable,it's French but pleeeeeeeeease don't let that put you off,if you watch it and don't like it,I'll eat my hat (it's ok I don't have one ;D )
-
My last cinema trip was to Military Wives which I saw on my birthday this year just hours before the pandemic was announced (March 11th). I really enjoyed it because of the feel good factor in it. It reminded me very much of Calendar Girls. :)

I haven't been watching any films on TV since but have saved a small number of old favourites.
-
I haven't been 2 the cinema since 1981. We waited until films came round on video - remember those ;D. I have CDs in the corner that haven't been opened, some going back for several years. They were on my various lists but we are busy watching TV so never seem to have time to look at the CDs ::)
-
Zodiac with Jake Gyllenhall and Mark Ruffalo amongst others. It was on TV last night.
-
I've just finished watching, Bridget Jones, Edge Of Reason.
She had me in stitches.
Zodiac, I really enjoyed too Jane.

Yes, it is a good movie. :) But if you've read the book (I have not), and are a big Tolkien fan, it might not follow exactly and there are some added characters, like Tauriel (Evangeline Lily)
-
I loved the Hobbit too.
-
Bridget Jones is hilarious,loved 1 and 2
Patch Adams is another great movie
-
The latest Jurassic Park, recorded it a while ago watched it last weekend, it was ok but the original is still the best :)
-
I agree two hoots. I love Jeff Goldblum in the first Jurassic Park. He had the best lines ;)
-
Ohh yes, I watched Mamma Mia, and loved it. Not really my thing, but I gave it a whirl and so glad I did. Agreed, the first was better than the second, but still, I enjoyed it.
That Colin Firth, 😍. Mind you, Pierce Brosnan ain't bad either. 😜
-
I love them both, I wonder why I have no libido issues when I think of them! Maybe it's not men-o-pause, maybe it's husband-pause ::)
Last film, actually series, was Mrs. America. Cate Blanchett is perfect!
-
;D ;D I know the feeling when they're on the tele. ;D
Ohh, Talking of a series, Ozarks is brilliant. So is, Little Big Lies. Can't wait for the next ones.
-
I watched both of those - soo good. Have you tried Dirty John? It's got the blonde trailer trash girl in from Ozark (whose name escapes me!)
-
Oh and LOVED Joker,Jill and I fancied him too,don't ask me why,we're weird or something ;D
-
Yes, forgot Joker. ::) There's just something about him that, appealed to us Jay. 🤷♀️ Maybe his madness. 🤣😂🤣
I also loved, Rocket Man, and The Queen film. Both actors played Elton John, and Freddie Mercury brilliantly.
I enjoyed Tolkien. And the film Little Women.
No havnt seen Dirty John. Will take a look tho.
-
Joker was last film myself and OH watched & thought it was great. I watched AMY the film/doc about Amy Whinehouse, I'd recorded it ages ago, so desperately sad. x
-
Jim Carey ............ years ago ::) - on TV
-
I can't STAND Jim Carey although he was fab in The Truman Show
-
I'm with you Jaypo, Jim Carey is ULTRA annoying. Although doesn't take much to annoy me these days. Pretty sure he annoyed me before peri though...
-
I can't STAND Jim Carey although he was fab in The Truman Show
He was hilarious in Ace Ventura Pet Detective! ;D
-
I agree C.C.
-
Haha yes,he bugged me before meno set in too ;D I just think he lived off making stupid faces,hey, I could be an actor ;D
-
Oh and LOVED Joker,Jill and I fancied him too,don't ask me why,we're weird or something ;D
Watched Parenthood the other night and just realised Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) plays the troubled young son, Gary who carries that brown paper bag everywhere with him!
-
Aaahhh I didn't know that,gonna have to watch it again
Little Miss Sunshine is a fab film,Steve Carrell at his best,in quite a serious role too
-
Watching the new Terminator film at mo... quite good so far. Big Terminator fan
-
Actually it's really terrible not sure I'm going to make it to the end...
-
I watched “In the Name of The Father”.
Fantastic film, but OMG, it’s so shocking! True story about the Guildford Four
Jeepers xx
-
Good film Jeepers
Still Alice is a great film,young woman (50 ish) with Alzheimer's,outstanding performance by julieanne Moore
-
Watching the new Terminator film at mo... quite good so far. Big Terminator fan
I love the Terminator films, from wanting Arnie to die in the first film to loving him in the second, and the melting policeman such a brilliant character ;D
-
I watched The Devils Advocate. Keanu Reeves. Al Pacino.
I love Al Pacino.
-
Oh Al Pacino and Mr Depp in Donnie Brasco
-
The last film I watched was Knives Out, and I really enjoyed the clever plot twists and witty characters. It’s a fun mix of mystery and humor, kind of similar to the vibe in Ready or Not. I love movies with unique storytelling, and this one kept me guessing until the end.
I usually watch movies on 123movies (https://123moviesfree.net/). It’s a convenient way to explore a variety of films without needing multiple subscriptions, and I can always find something that suits my mood.
-
I haven't watched a film for ages but it will probably be the new Wallace and Gromett plus as many Ice Age combinations as possible 8)
-
Loved Knives out mini at,what a great cast it was.
Heat is a fab film DeNiro & Pacino,doesn't get much better than that
-
Alien Romulus.
Was ok.
-
Blitz on Apple TV
-
I read that as blizt apples ;D
-
Apocalypse Slough :D
-
A Quiet place made me jump out of my skin a few times 😂

Love Wallace & Gromit.
The big rabbit one was good.
Love Peter Rabbit too.

Looking forward to 28 years later, I'll be having nightmares for weeks
