Charlie doesn't seem to agree Mr Abides. Will have to watch it for myself one day.
Saw 7 Psychopaths last night. Good film4 version of the American genre. Liked Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell and Chrstopher Walken and a real treat to see Tom Waits in a small role too..
My favourite on that list is The loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Had a big effect on me when I saw it decades ago. One of the reasons why I run.
I thought I had seen Marathon Man, but I mixed it up with The Running Man. One of those terrible films that are a good alternative to watching Come Dine With Me when I'm stuck on the sofa with flu/hangover
I watched I've Loved You So Long last weekend on iplayer. It was the third French film I'd seen with Kristin Scott-Thomas in the starring role, in the last few months. Really liked all of them but I think this one was the best. The others were:
Ha, I watched it too. For the 2nd time. The book is so much better but the film is good too. Although Scarborough can never be Brighton. The whole concept is brilliant, though.
I'm not in a rush to see a remake.
Maybe we can go to the DoY's and watch a Friday matinee one day Xine?
In Brighton? I'm in Landan, innit? But if I manage to wangle my way to a Friday afternoon out of work I shall let you know
Even when Micheal Sheen is playing characters I don't really like, I still enjoy his performance. Actually for someone that doesn't like football, I've really liked films about football ... I thought Looking for Eric and the West Ham one with Frodo (can't remember the name of it now) were both very good. Also enjoyed Moneyball enough to watch it twice ... and I don't think I've ever watched more than a couple of minutes of baseball.
Haven't seen The Impossible. I didn't like the look of the trailers (which made it seem like a typical SFX heavy disaster movie) but a lot of people have said its very good.
Robot and Frank is the last film that made me cry.
Not a film, but has anyone been watching the Hannibal series with Mads Mikkelsen? Enjoying it so far but the episodes seem too short, it would be good if they did extended episodes like Sherlock. The mushroom people in this week's episode was the freakiest thing I've seen. And I had eaten mushroom risotto before watching it

cloud atlas is the best film ever.

it isn't really. but it is so silly and bonkers it's impossible not to love.
apart from the people who hated it. which will be everyone. but i loved it.
imagine a sci-fi league of gentleman with a massive budget
Argo is out on DVD already, that was quite speedy! I've heard good things about that so will try to watch it over the weekend.
I saw this on the Guardian Running Blog the other day, anyone seen any of the films on the list? http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2013/feb/18/10-best-running-movies
I've only seen Forrest Gump and Run Fatboy Run. Can't believe they left out Run Lola Run, I love that film
I do want to see that. Tom Hanks is long overdue a good film, I hope this is it!
I'll have to put that one on my LoveFilm list

side effects is a proper nasty dirty film.
i'm not sure why the pre-pubescent cavegirl had such large breasts, but I enjoyed The Croods anyway.
How anyone couldn't when a nun gets hit by a bell ?

Sarah's Key.
Leaving.
Watched The Damned United again last night - Michael Sheen is such a brilliant actor.
Has anyone seen The Great Gatsby yet? Worth watching?

I loved looking for Eric but haven't seen Frodo loves the 'ammers. I'm gonna look out for matinees at DoY's.
Green Street That's what its called. Its pretty good.
Watched The Impossible, never cried during a movie but it got me :
I liked The Impossible but then again I have a personal connection fnarrr

What channel is that on? I need something to replace the lack of The Walking Dead.
Sky Living - 10pm on Tuesdays. There have only been 2 episodes so far so you won't have missed much
Okay. will see what the magic box can do for me.
