Movie recommendations

Just happened to watch Starsky and Hutch last night. Very funny film!

[muppet]

Saw "Being Llewyn Davis" last night. Coen Brothers sometimes produce great films - this wasn't one of them.

Great review though.

WoWS was excellent if a little too long. First hour and half pure comedy (as long as you suspend your real life distaste of greedy bas£ard wall st folks)

American hustle also very good. 

12 Years easily the most overhyped film of the year.

Saw all 3 and thought 12 years wipes the floor with the other 2. The storylines of the other 2 are weak and they're more style over substance for me.

Really disappointed with WoWS! 6/10

12 years is your typical can I please have an Oscar now film. None of the 3 broke new ground but at least the other 2 were entertaining.

Have yet to see 12 Years a Slave or Wolf of Wall Strert but would agree with you re. American Hustle. I am amazed at the number of awards and Oscar nominations it has picked up. Looks like a Scorsese cast-off. Definitely not bad and Bale is brilliant but 5 minutes after watching it I have forgotten about it already.

After reading some of the reviews on here I had low expectations of Slave. Loved it - thought it was quality. Wolf was entertaining too. Never felt bored. I did with Hustle. Didn't really care towards the end.

Seen American Hustle there. It was slightly dissappointing. Acting was excellent but storyline wasn't great and the film itself was slow in parts, especially at the start.

Load of bollocks. Soundtrack was the only good thing about it. That and Bale's combover.

I thought Slave was very good too. Hard to watch it hards, but other films to do about slavery were rougher. Looking forward to Wolf.

Watched Lone Survivor at the weekend, actually thought it was a good enough watch. Tough watch at times but interesting as much as anything.

Went to see WOWS last nite, waaaaay too long.
Trying to be goodfellas and failing

Not a bad show but three hours FFS

[Tubberman]

Thought Wolf was excellent, much better film than Hustle in almost every way.
It got a bit lost around the time of the storm at sea and from there on was a bit disjointed, but still a great film, and I didn't see the 3 hours as too long, which I had expected to.
12 Years a Slave was fantastic as well I thought. Best film I've seen in years.

Of the big 3 new ones:
1. 12 Years a Slave
2. Wolf of Wall Street
3. American Hustle

Like myself then. I only got to see the first hour of American Hustle on Sat as the missus fell asleep so had to watch the second half last night. Expensive business going to the cinema 2 nights in a row

You must have been in the same cinema as me as her indoors did exactly the same, though I must confess I continued to watch the show and relayed the information back to her on her awakening. Not made of money

As most on here we fancy ourselves as film buffs, and without the help of google I'm decent enough at linking actors to films and the years they come out, who directed them and so on, would only go to the cinema to watch the 'big' movies and stay clear of romcoms and comedies, these films are designed for a Sat (DVD) night in front of the fire with a bottle of wine to supplement the film or get pissed TO forget about it (usually the latter). Hasn't been too many 'blockbusters' at the cinema lately, you'd wonder are the writers running out of original ideas.

The recent run of horror films lately have been disastrous and makes you wonder who their target audience is, epics seems to be a thing of the past and the special effects now seems to be the making of the film instead of the actors. Not loving the cinema at the minute
