Movie recommendations

Saw Django Unchained last night. As with all QT film it had its flaws ( too talky at times, too long, plot sagging etc etc.) QT (as always) had a great cast in it.
Enjoyed it even though I don't like QT as a rule (must be the only person on the planet to think Pulp Fiction is massively overrated).
Good film all the same. 1st 60 minutes or so especially.  7/10.

Wouldn't say that. Pulp Fiction is like a disposable accessory, to be seen once and then discarded and forgotten about.

And in turn I wouldn't say that. Pulp Fiction is one of the most memorable movies in recent (even though its 20 years old) history.

I think Pulp Fiction is shit, don't by the hype at all.

If you're watching it looking for hype, I'm not surprised.

I wonder if there'd be any value in a thread for "movies I didn't really get". I was watching Ocean's 12 last night and I still for the life of me can't really figure out how they did it. Ocean's 11 took me a good few watches to figure the scam out as well, much to my shame.

I watched it following some friends recommendations, I thought it was shit.

They swap bags on the train.

I watched Django Unchained last night....I loved it.
I love the spaghetti western feel, from the music to the looks....the ott gunfights were class too.
I really enjoyed it, one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Forgot to mention in my earlier post that the music in Django Unchained is brilliant. Have my beefs with alot of QT's films but in fairness to him the music in them is usually good.

QT one of the very few directors left who are actually still using Film not digital and as well as that is loathed to use CGI so most of the stunts are actual real stunts.

In my opinion his last great movie was Jackie Brown and that is a long time ago. I thought Inglorious was a good show and the first Kill Bill was decent but he has had more misses than hits.

I watched 7 Psychopaths at the weekend...while not as good as I was expecting, I did enjoy it.
Christopher Walken is class and Farrell puts in a decent shift too but I think Sam Rockwell stole the show.

I thought it was great... watched both django and 7 psychopaths back to back and preferred 7 psychopaths ... thought sam rockwell was brilliant and surprised he has been over looked in all the awards ceremonies.... Glad woody harrelson took over from mickey rourke as charlie as i dont think it would have been the same!

Agree 100%
It's a class film.

Saw the new Dredd.....surprisingly decent for what it is. Obvious rip off of the raid but if you're looking to park the brain for 2 hours of sci-fi action, not a bad choice.

[leenie]

i did think django was a great film .... and a wonderful support cast.. but did anyone else think jamie fox was a bit of a let down when it came to how fantastic the other actors were?.... and how in places his accent goes from southern western to ghetto?...


good to see the return of don johnston too!

I watched  Searching for Sugar Man,  one of this year's oscar nominated documentaries, about a down and out  talented songwriter/musician called Rodriguez from Detroit in 1970, who made a few records then disappeared. Unknown to himself, he became thee most popular musician in pre and post apartheid SA. He became the bard for social and political change, for those 'whites' who wanted to end Apartheid.  It's hard to credit that this story is what it is. The bare facts by themselves have the makings of an incredible story. But what lifts this story to something more, is the understated dignity and love of a father and his children.
It's directed by a young Swede.

Will look out for it in Xtravision.

[Tony Baloney]

For some reason, I never had you down as someone who goes to Xtravision.

Who the fcuk goes to Xtravision tbf?

I probably owe them for a fiver from years ago. I am surprised they are still open what with hoors downloading films before they have even left the cinema. Will be dead within 5 years I reckon.
