Just watched The wolf of wall street. 9.5/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993846/

Fucking brilliant way to spend 3hrs. In my all time 5 films. Epic drug taking scenes, tits fannys, money, greed, love, hate, sex......................and a great story.

EADD get it downloaded and watched! (or even go see it at the cinema)
 
Yeah man, The Wolf was a fucking great film. Also 12 years a slave (we cried like babies).

And American Hustle.. Christian Bale is fucking epic.
 
I'm gonna wait a couple weeks to see the Scorcese flick at the googolplex with a mate, take some dissociatives, eat some chicken, make an evening of it. He keeps telling me American Hustle is great, too.

Saw "Shallow Grave" yesterday. It was OK, cool premise, but a bit hamfisted and predictable, I thought. It was all just a bit obvious and clumsy and unsurprising. Also, everyone in the film is a rubbish criminal, the whole way through I was just thinking at what inept, bumbling clowns they all were. Some things it did well, some things were cool, but did not live up to the esteem it has.

Anyone get round to checking out that Richard III? Anyone owed five minutes by me?

It is a comedy you know :D It is a bit predictable I'll give you that.

If you've only just seen it now, you have to remember that it's twenty years old. A lot of it's critical acclaim was for it's style, which was very fresh at the time. What value style has is debatable, but it's at least somewhat important.
 
In relation to Shallow Grave, what Knock said. I've not really seen it since around the time it came out but suspect I'd find it less impressive watching it for the first time now when that kinda style of filmmaking is ten-a-penny. Was a fukkin belter at the time though <3

In recent watchings news, watched Savages this evening. Can't recall how to write the tags by hand so will have to go with the ugly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615065/ instead :o

I'd not heard of it before (due to living in a cave and not getting out much) but was pleasantly surprised after seeing how much of a panning it seems to have had. I can kinda see why - just not for the reasons given in that IMDB linky. For me, it looks more like the problems audiences may have had with it is that it's riddled with grey areas. There are really no "goodies" and "baddies"... well there are, but only in a rather simplistic sense. It's Oliver Stone does War on Drugs so that's what any viewer should expect really. It ain't so much about characters and relationships - is more about the overall theme. The clue is in the title ;)

I thought it was pretty decent myself. Does drag a bit, to be fair. But to be more fair I am a tad impatient and blank whilst waiting for brainchems to restock. Worth a watch if you've not seen it anyway, I'd say.
 
[url=babylonboystackspaperandbitches.com]The hypertext you want displayed that links to a scientifically factual website[/url]
 
Y'know I really should've tried that before posting but am frustrated enough at the lack of edit facility (cos lawdy do I make some serious use of that 8o) that I didn't wanna risk it. When did I become so fukkin risk averse?!? 8(

In Dick 3 news, had some minor technical issues but will get back to ya when I can work out how to get back into the user account with all me films in :o
 
I had a dicey moment of checking posting a link earlier, thought I knew the tags but wasn't sure. Went for it, knowing if I'd fucked it, there was no edit or delete option. For a gut-wrenching second, terrible uncertainty washed over me, but then, a perfectly parsed particle of hypertext emerged from the darkness, and I knew my bold gambit had paid off. True story.
 
^47 Ronin- that's Keanu Reeves playing a samurai, right? I haven't seen it, but it doesn't sound rave-review-worthy.

Return of the Pink Panther. Obviously a classic, but my goodness, quite amusing.
 
47 Ronin is the new Keanu Reeves one - I didn't enjoy it, awful CGI and just so long and drawn out to the point I was bored. I certainly wouldn't recommend paying to see it :)
 
I watched "He died with a falafel in his hand" the other night, reminded me of how twattish aussies where when I was down under, still the film itself was not necessairly unpleasant.
 
Enter the Void, not sure if been mentioned watched it last night though thought it was fairly good.

Tokyo's nasty underside, seen primarily through the eyes of Oscar, a heavy drug user, whose sister Linda is a stripper. Oscar also has flashbacks to his childhood when trauma upends the siblings. Oscar's drug-fed hallucinations alter Tokyo's already-disconcerting nights, and after the police shoot him, he can float above and look down: on his sister's sorrow, on the rooms of a love hotel, and on life at even a molecular level. The spectrum's colors can be beautiful; it's people's colorless lives that can be ugly. And what of afterlife, is there more than a void?

Loads of great movies about at the moment, as its awards season.

Dallas buyers club was fantastically surprising.
