What have you seen recently?

[mystmoon]

I've just seen Robin Hood for the second time (not my choice, had to choose between watching it again or watching streetdance3d) I've only just figured out that he was trying to do a Yorkshire accent, did anyone else think he sounded Irish?

 

[Dotsie]

I've heard that his accent was like a "whistle-stop tour of Britain", so no doubt there's a bit of everything in there.

I watched The Men Who Stare at Goats - or actually only half of it. When you get more than one big name Hollywood actor in a film, it tends to be boring for some reason. Maybe they think there's no need for a strong storyline? Which is a shame because when I first heard of this story from a friend who was reading a book on it, it sounded hilarious.

Saw Valentine's Day over the weekend. It was horrible. Dotsie's theory is probably valid since it had a ton of big Hollywood names.

It truly was awful. Don't see this movie. Don't. Seriously, don't.

i watched zoltan hound of dracula yesterday and it was brills but not as scary as when i last watched it 28yrs ago

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Someone at work has loaned me The Hangover.

I still haven't watched it, as I don't think it's "me".

 

[chris.ph]

watch it bouncy i thought it was juvenile and really puerile but most of all hysterical

Isn't that the one where Drac is calling himself 'Count Alucard'? Terry takes the mickey out of it in Thud!

Scrub that theory - I just looked it up and the one I'm thinking of is 'Son of Dracula' (1943).

I agree with Chris - it gets progressivley sillier and you just HAVE to stick with it. Also one of those films where you do need to watch it all right to the v. end

Initially I thought you were wrong on that score as I seemed to recall Alucard being the name used in Dracula A.D. 1972. However, on further checking I found that the character Johnny Alucard was the person who deliberately raised the Count in this film. I guess that the producer probably used the name in recognition of the 1943 film.

BTW, I love the old Hammer films. Very cheesy and not too scary now by modern standards, but still a lot of fun.

Ditto from me too. It was better than I thought it would be!

 

[Dotsie]

I watched Precious last night. Powerful stuff. Mo'Nique was amazing as the mum. And I didn't recognise Mariah Carey at all!

 

[michelanCello]

I've seen the Prince of Persia on monday... It wasn't that bad, but this Gemma Arterton (or whatever her name is) freaks me out... she's sooooo annoying... I never know whether she's crying or it's just her usual expression. Have you seen Tess of the D'Urbervilles? :x

 

[Ponder Stibbons]

Just saw Shrek ever after. Comments on the new thread.

 

[michelanCello]

I've just seen Captain Corelli's Mandolin... I'd have died without a happy ending in this case - usually I can do without them, but this one jus needed it!
At the whole: nice story, pretty good acting, too much fight and blood...

 

[Willem]

Had 'PS I Love You' on last night. Didn't really engage me, went and did something else about halfway in.

 

[michelanCello]

I haven't seen that one yet (didn't intend to either) but after this I surely won't.

 

[mspanners]

Morris: A Life With Bells On

Morris: A Life With Bells On, watched it on sky, very funny as I can recognise some of the types from the show! PS I live in Somerset which is big on Cider, fates and country fairs!


Had to laugh at the US dancers...........could not have been more camp!

 

[mystmoon]

Just watched Miracle Maker, Prince of Egypt, Bend it Like Beckham and East is East for RE. Takes the fun out of them when you have to review them

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Saw Prince of Persia today. The actor who plays Moist was in it too
