Movie recommendations

[The Iceman]

I watched Prisoners there the other night and thought it was very very good.

Have to agree, very very good.

Thats a film that has stayed with me for a while now. I didn't see the whole "waging a war on god" angle at all. At first I thought I would be that dad, willing to do whatever it took to find my kids but then it makes you think  - who do you become as a result and is there any going back? head wrecking stuff lol

Have Escape Plan (Arnie and Stallone) to watch tonight. I know its going to be rough but I can't help myself ha!

Watched "City of God" there. Really disappointed, heavily recommended by this board who usually are close to the mark on most shows.

Ah Jesus i watched it the other night, same as you i knew what i was getting into but couldnt help it.

Watched Grudge Match with Satallone and De Niro have to say i enjoyed it, found it quite funny in parts - it aint winning any oscars but watchable all the same.

Hi the Escape Plan wasn't that bad. Mindless 80's action movie wrapped up in new shiny paper from 2014.... Poor old Arnie should have did more drugs with Stallone. He really can't keep up with Sly at this point.... He looked tired and his poor acting is no longer covered up by the action...

I want to see Grudge Match definitely.

Stallone has been very smart with his new films - people want to see them. Other action stars like JCVD and Seagal are still struggling.
Stalone is a smart business man there's no doubt about it.

Something about old 80s and 90s action films. No real story, great characters and lots of violence...

The boards recommendation still stands up to scrutiny, your disappointment is your own doing.

Yeah part of the problem, you're best just to watch a film, I built it up in my head as a gritty, stylish crime thriller and the salsa film-making and light-heartedness really threw me. A good film in it's own right but it wasn't what I was expecting.

Runner Runner is shocking, one of the most boring films I've seen in years.

Here's a question for you all . . . Wes Anderson films!!

I don't really get them. I've watched Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox and Fantastic Mr. Fox is the only one I can say I really enjoyed.

This is not to say I hated the others I'm just not really sure what was going on in them!!

Is there anyone who can shed any light on these movies for me or can give me a better understanding of them?

I see the Grand Budapest Hotel is out shortly and it looks a lot like Tenenbaums again... a big cast with not a lot else going on with it!

There's parts I like in the royal tenebaums and the life aquatic, if not enough to pull a whole film out of it.

Watched Argo last night, avoided all the talk surounding the film, I'd an idea of the film but was impressed with the story, though it never panned out as the film suggested it was still very good and well acted. Was never a big fan of Ben Affleck but he did rightly with this.

Saw 'The lives of others' recently. Excellent film about cold war East Berlin.

Blue Jasmine - compelling viewing. Some ropey actors around the edges but 90 mins of good storytelling.

I saw a bit of this the other night when in "flick mode". Just saw a joke on it about a child molester and that was enough for me....very bad taste, so didnt watch any more of it.
