Sibdane Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just started watching Bates Motel. Half way through the first series at the moment, had it on the Sky box for months and never got round to watching it until now. Seems decent so far, and series 2 starts in April I loved it. I'm ready for the second season to start. Ant1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) the pressure! Finished Breaking bad a few weeks ago and i'm now starting all over again [all 5 series are on Netflix].

gethinO Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Breaking Bad is brilliant. Really enjoyed the series. Watched 'The Prestige' for the second time today. Forgot how good that movie was. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant1979 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Following and Hannibal are my favourite TV shows, so brutal Yeah I like both of those too. The Shield is probably my favourite of all time, just above The Wire and Deadwood. I might put Deadwood first had they not left the story unfinished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 the pressure! I'm coming for you.. it wasn't very good. The "Marvel One Shot" with Slattery was ok.. it was a nice touch for the Theatre he was pictured outside of as a young boy to be in Liverpool (supposedly where's he from).

Lowensda Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I wasn't keen on Thor 2, thought Chris Eccleston's character (Malekith) was pretty shite. Wasn't that bothered about the Dark Elves, nor their war. Much preferred the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that bothered about the Dark Elves, nor their war. Much preferred the first one. The first was pretty poor too though. I think I said this earlier in the thread but the first Thor was a practically a remake of Dolph Lundgren's Masters of the Universe. It was the Avengers film that redeemed Thor. The London setting just didn't do it for me. The guy with the phone in the Royal Naval College, "it's Thor, he's got his hammer and everything", annoying. The London geography, the blond woman throwing herself at Thor in the train. I think it would have been a better joke had they given him real life instructions and he said something like "I'll go by foot". Jane can all of a sudden create and partly control portals to another dimension. Darcy was much more annoying this time around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Most recent viewing was the Harry Brown film release with Michael Caine. Guess I was a little disappointed. Was expecting something a little more than what was eventually presented. Worth one watch, but not really recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethinO Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Gran Torino was much better in my opinion Ant1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant1979 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Gran Torino was much better in my opinion Yeah definitely. A lot of similarities in general storyline between Harry Brown and Gran Torino. But whereas Harry Brown was more just shock value for the sake of it, Gran Torino was a real character study too. A really excellent film in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I read Gran Torino was mentioned as a comparison with the movie in question, but haven't seen that release so unable to offer comment. Death Wish was included also, I.E. senior individual takes out his wrath on a youth element and delivers his own brand of retribution, but found it in all, a rather forgettable watch. Caine is an actor of caliber, but (for reviewers) to say it's his best performance (over titles such as Zulu, Get Carter, The Ipcress File etc) is questionable.

Guest Nikica Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah I'm a relic, 35 and no idea how to download stuff. Soon as mccaunaghy said asked the right fucking questions I wanted to scream Hahaha yeah, those first few episodes really play up the nihilism of his character. I'd like to help you catch up to US pace, but as you say you don't know how to download etc. A shame though, as you'd have 6 episodes waiting on you (or 5 now, ep 2 aired in UK yes?)

He-Man was my first love as a boy - my grandad took me to see the films when I was 5 as a surprise. It was one of the best days of my childhood. Lol. Yeah, it's a poor film by general standards, but if you take it for what it is it's really enjoyable. I still watch it a few times per year. Frank Langella as Skeletor is immense - very menacing.

EFC-Paul Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Really into Blacklist at the moment if you have not seen it do so it's well worth getting into and Spader as usual is top draw Watched I-Frankenstien last night with the missus and to be honest it's shite the plot and basis of the film could have been done much better but it's nothing more then a time filler.

Romey 1878 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Really into Blacklist at the moment if you have not seen it do so it's well worth getting into and Spader as usual is top draw I'll second this. Quality show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I've just watched Episode 4 of True Detective. The camera work in the finale of the episode was incredible, the way the camera rolled from room to room and followed the characters outside, across the street, looking through another house and swinging around to view them again was sublime. It was like the shot in Children of Men. Edit:I've just found this: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2014/mar/17/true-detective-cary-fukunaga-tracking-shot Edited March 17, 2014 by Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
