Legend of Bagger Vance tonight....great film :-)

 

And The Party.....Peter Sellers....bloody great

 

2 movies that are favorites for 2014 best movie -

Boyhood and Birdman

I cannot endorse either movie as best - just ok

Night Crawler if I had to pick a best for me.

 

Wayhay! Eddie Redmayne got the Best Actor Oscar as well for The Theory of Everything! He has already bagged Golden Globe and Bafta for it. 'Very well done' to a gentle speaking, fragile and lost looking, blue-eyed young man with outstanding staging ability.

I do recommend this film to anyone who likes quality cinema. Go and watch it. You won't be disappointed.

 

The oscars and Hollywood are nothing but a meaningless sham, a couple of reasons why, there are many many more though.......
Directors, Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar, yet they are arguably two of the greatest and most influential directors of all time.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey, probrarly the most influential film ever made, lost out to the musical Oliver, says it all really.

 

watching annabelle tonight with her indoors

 

I bought the bluray today so may also watch later, not heard great things though so not keeping my hopes high.

 

well its better than sitting through yawn eastenders and if the mrs gets scared she will cling to me.................so might get a blowy out of it

win win i say

 

Haha like your style dude

 

That is why, when someone well deserving one gets an Oscar, it's a good feeling. Also, the Redmayne fella is our British lad; just like our Mr. Daniel Day-Lewis, so I'm happy. I didn't think DDL was that great in Lincoln, and I did think that Oscar could have gone to someone who actually acted.

This time, Oscar awarding has been criticised for having all white nominations. It has also been criticised for not giving a space to late Joan Rivers in the Memorial. I was reading an article yesterday which was pulling whole Oscar thing apart by saying that the nominators do not even watch most films. That was shocking to know, if true.

 

Also, Oscar or no Oscar, Redmayne is outstanding in The Theory of Everything without a doubt. It's about our British scientist Mr. Stephen Hawking, and the makers of the film have done justice to it. Therefore, award or no award, it's an excellent watch.

 

I'd say it is the most influential. Nearly ever film I watch has some nod to it.

 

Not a bad watch, it scared me. Some very creepy moments.

I watched Greystone Park last night. It should have been scary but the cast just argued all the way through it and it stopped the tension building whilst they were filming some pretty eerie scenes.

 

I started this thread because I had some time off and I had not really watched that many films over the past few years compared to the average person, due to lack of time and a low concentration threshold

I have to say a big thanks because I am watching stuff I probably wouldn't have seen if I had been left to my own devices and it has been great!

Keep them coming

 

The Afflicted.

Really enjoyed this film tonight. Like a cross between The Lost Boys and Chronicle. The effects were outstanding and to be honest I don't know how this film isn't a mainstream smash.

 

I did wonder if you had been paying attention after asking.....!!!

 

I saw this a few weeks ago, I really enjoyed it too.

 

Watched Hallow tonight, took a while to get going but finished on a genuinely creepy note. That coat!!

Felt a bit like a 2 part British drama that would have been better for TV than DVD. Certainly for fans of spooky settings only.

 

What films have you watched from this thread? Just curiosity

 

I went to a screening of "50 shades of Grey"

Boy the place was buzzing

 

Last night for the first time ever I fell asleep during a film. 5 times in fact.

Mirrormask

It's getting to the point I can only watch found footage films, anything remotely stylish just feels so forced and detached.

 

Watched The Entity last night, pretty strange ghost rape film. Pretty creepy at first but then got kinda accidentally hot.

 

It is a fair few to list..........the most recent one I enjoyed was Gone Girl

As I said in my previous posts I haven't been a huge watcher of films in the past but that is changing now and I am very grateful to everyone who has taken the time to give me a recommendation

 

Worth a watch guys

 

Thought it was rubbish, better of just watching Harry brown or red.

 

CHERNOBYL DIARIES

Like all horror films, losses it's attraction when too much starts happening.

 

Babadook yesterday......................................*** *ing ****

 

The Machete films. Ridiculous but brilliant for it!

 

Babadook was ok, dragged a bit but was a fairly good watch, very well acted!

 

Quality film.

Sadly 4 sexy teenagers and a guy running around with a knife whilst a metal soundtrack plays out is great horror to most.
