Recently watched films you've really enjoyed

Just finished End Of Watch, http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1855199/

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best films I’ve seen this year.

And a mate talked me into watching Anuvahood, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1658797/

Which again was also really good, in a “this is terrible but I can’t stop laughing” kind of way.

My “to watch” film list is running a bit low, so looking for some inspiration.

21 Jump Street!

Oh and Project-X.

End Of Watch

When I watched this I got caught up in, and pretty much carried through, the whole film by the visceral nature of it.

…it was only on reflection I thought it was a little bit cliche ridden, and a bit on the nose in some of the tropes it wheeled out.

Still, as a shot to the brain for 80-90mins, it was a cracker.

End of Watch felt at times like “SouthLAnd- the movie”, but great nonetheless.

Quirky film I enjoyed recently was “Dead in France” – low budget, non-famous actors piece that amused and entertained without feeling too much like a fresh from film school number.

Despite some pretty poor reviews I quite enjoyed Seven Psychopaths. There were some genuine laugh out loud moments.

Devils backbone
The orphanage
Basketball diaries

Killer Elite and Safe House.

The A Team 😳

I’m part way through Dead Snow

Pretty Scandinavian girls, zombie nazis and lots of blood/gore

What’s not to like!

American Beauty
American Psycho
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Can vouch for both ‘Drive’ and ‘The Island’ being worth a gander also.

The A team was great unplug brain and enjoy!

The Lady Vanishes (Hitchcock, 1938) on iPlayer this evening. Flipping brilliant.

+1 for safe house
+1 killer elite
+1 for drive hes a mean mo fo!!!!
Avengers assemble
Dark knight rises
Street kings
Harsh times
Unthinkable

Skyfall – at the cinema last night and bl00dy brilliant

Did you just see it on the TV too?

I watched Man on a Ledge earlier today. Thought it was decent – 7/10ish,
Lawless – 8/10
Drive – 9/10
Brave 8/10

Plust lots of others, but they were about the best i’ve watched recently.

Hangover 2. Worth every bit of it’s £3 price. Bit controversial as I know everyone else probably hates it but it made me laugh. I’m easily pleased though.

Hobbit
Currently watching Sherlock Holmes 2
Temple Grandin
Shooter

I’ve watched a few more but can’t remember due to single malt taking effect

Viva knievel !

Tyrannosaur

Gripping, gritty, well acted & stays with you for days.

Sod what you’ve seen; get ITV on for some Gremlins action!

Not enough dinosaurs, for my liking.

Lord of War = absolutely superb film.
Angels’ Share = also good, less of a comedy than I thought it’d be though.
Ted = very funny, if a bit far fetched.

Rum diaries slightly self indulgent 7
Dark knight rises 9
Skyfall 9
Sapphires surprising 8
Drive 9
Safe house 6
Bourne legacy 3 you can make dinner in the chase and not miss anything

Last chance Harvey…
I feel really really old.

Man from Nowhere – a bit like Oldboy crossed with Leon. The Koreans really are the best at revenge films.

Over the last 2 days I’ve watched Reveal the Path, Ride the Divide and Janapar.

Just watched Fight Club on VHS – seminal film

Animal Kingdom.

Just watched Fight Club on VHS…

Damn hipsters.

when i saw the a team recently it proved to me that reacher should have been neeson.

Daughter wants me to take her to see skyfall again, enjoyed it first time
I’ve got that tyranosaur on my +box to watch.
Was flicking through last years xmas pressies and found Senna & frost nixon still in wrapping 🙄

Just watched “The Girl Who Played With Fire”. Good it was, much better than the book. Looking forward to the 3rd one, which I shall be Sky+ing tonight.

Gremlins is wonderful – top call from post above

I recently liked Drive, No country for old men(the bad guy is pretty good in this) and Inception was ok

Bad Santa – on the other night with Billy Bob Thornton.

The Intouchables – great French film, and one of my 2012 top films.

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1675434/

has 8.6 on IMDB which is pretty decent for IMDB

Recently watched – Hangover 1 & 2 – both fantastic.

In the last few days (just because they were on) watched Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol – perfectly acceptable for the genre…

…and today – Cowboys & Aliens. Thought it was great.

I rarely watch Oscar winning films, just films that entertain me without being too serious.

Actually got The Butterfly Effect on at the moment
