Watched Sucker punch lastt night, can't decide if it was class or rubbish

Saw "A Dangerous Method" last night - much the same verdict.

Watched Rampart last night, new one with Woody Harrelson as a bent LAPD cop. Very good.

I liked it. It did get nominated for best movie at the Oscars.

Some recently watched

Cell 211. Reasonable enough thriller set in a Spanish prison.

Warrior. Good and well worth a watch. Very well acted although highly unbelievable .

Drive. Average enough imo.

Gee I thought Drive was superb, the Lift scene was cinematic genius and the sound track was cracking too..

Up The Middle · February 22, 2012, 04:09:22 PM

Watched Drive over the weekend, thought it was very good your man Gosling gives a great performance agree with Dinny the scene in the lift is unreal. Also watched t**ker Tailor Solider Spy actually thought this was a better, great performance from Gary Oldman, havent seen a bad performance from Tom Hardy in any film yet.

The Iceman · February 22, 2012, 04:40:14 PM

Watched Captain America again there wasn't overly impressed. There were much better Marvel movies.
Seen Real Steel and was happy enough with it on face value. Nothing spectacular but very watchable and even my woman enjoyed it.

Funny I just sent Cell 211 and Drive back to Lovefilm there on Monday and Warrior just arrived in the door today.

Thought Cell 211 started off very well but lost its way
Agree on Drive, good enough viewing and great music, but was expecting a lot more after the hype.

Also saw Elite Squad 2 recently, decent enough.

Don't know, Minder. Touch & go whether it's a bit on the genius side, or a complete load of ould cobblers. Worth watching, but a very strange film.

I got oldboy a used copy on Henry Street effectively for two Euro in a two for one with Anchor Man. Old boy better be good after all the praise it got on here. I am expecting fireworks.

Saw In Time, actually really enjoyed it. On top of that, Olivia Wilde looked fine for the 10 seconds she was in it and Seyfield was looking hot throughout.

Also watched The Ides Of March, was far better than I expected.

tbrick18 · February 27, 2012, 09:43:54 AM

I saw In Time at the weekend, to be honest, I didnt think it was all that great.
