TV & Film Movie Lounge

I watched a Christmas film called Lost Holiday last night. It is a film about an estranged couple who get stuck up a snowy mountain and you can guess the ending.:) I also started watching The Thing, it is my one of my husband's favourite films. I have seen it about 20 times but I had forgotten it was so gory!:eek::p

Saw both Skyfall and Killing Them Softly over the weekend.

Skyfall was very good.
Slightly unexpected ending :(

Killing Them Softly wasn't bad. Kind of Pulp Fictiony in the way they did a lot of the character building through conversation not directly related to the plot, but not of the same caliber as Pulp Fiction in my opinion. It also seemed kind of anti climactic. Worth seeing for the right type of person, probably boring for most people though. I'm glad I saw it, but if I'd only had time to see one movie I wouldn't have chosen it over Skyfall :p

Django Unchained is the one I'm really waiting for.

Agreed on Django Unchained. I saw the trailer for it before Skyfall. It looks really interesting.

You just made me laugh so hard. A family joke we have is when anyone in a film (or in IRL) is overacting and being dramatic, someone will leap up, clasp their hands, and yell, KAHN!!!
LMAO

AWESOME movie.

I love how the computer is basically omnipotent and beyond the level of any artificial intelligence we have today, and the movie is supposed to be set in the 80s. :p
 
Oh wow, just heard I'd missed The Expendables 2 that was released back in August! But the Wikipedia article says they killed a stuntman and caused environmental damage at one of the locations, so now I don't know if I want to see it :(
 
Rust and Bone - it was beautiful but I just didn't like it that much

Skyfall - I'm really new to Bond (watched the other 2 Daniel Craig ones in run up, liked them very much) but thought the rape was too much. Otherwise fun film and enjoyed it but that scene ruined it for me. Not cool Bond, not cool.

Norwegian Wood - arg, awful and gave me the fear.

Young Adult - I liked this!

Hue and Cry - an Ealing Comedy, pretty awesome. Incredible to see post war London, pretty much just a pile of bricks. The lead actor's widow was in the audience. Amazing lady with a head of crimped grey hair.
 
I'm about to watch Heathers, I haven't seen this film in years but already the opening credits look very dated.:p

Hmm, what? I thought you meant the bit when Bond was tied up but I just looked online and someone thinks the shower scene was a rape scene? :confused:

That is bizarre to me, I definitely didn't see that as a rape scene.

She was a terrified and traumatised sex worker, in no position to consent and he just wanders naked and uninvited into her shower.

Watched Paper Heart last night, it was quite sweet I guess.

I didn't see it that way at all, I thought she was waiting for him and was relieved when he turned up, meh.
 
Hugo - really, really good. Long but worth the watch.

House at the end of the block - I liked it even though a lot of it was predictable. There were enough surprises/twists to keep me interested.
