GMballistic Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Basically what the title says. Just watched "Lone Survivor" with Mark Wahlburg. I highly recommend this film and I really enjoyed it. It's about four US Navy seals on a covert mission in Afghanistan. As you can imagine things don't go well and this film tells the true story of what happened. Excellent action film and very moving towards the end especially when you see the real men involved during the end credits. One to watch. *Please add anything you recommend or films to steer clear of* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Captain Phillips. Best film i've seen in a very long time. That's the one with Tom Hanks in yes? ..and a true story is it not? Looked good from the trailers if it's the one I'm thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just watched Elysium. Meh. My sister enjoyed it but I will bought it was mediocre. I completely agree with you on that .. I was expecting a lot more from it.. I watched the Wolf of Wall Street a couple of weeks ago and thought it was brilliant! American Hustle is good is too...

marzman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, captain Phillips is the Tom Hanks true story film. Loved it. Also loved Prisoners, with Hugh Jackman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Saw American Hustle last week - I was bored and actually felt like leaving Took the parents to see Last Vegas a few weeks back was good for a predictable giggle. Off to see Wolf of Wall St or 12 years a Slave tomorrow ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be watching "The Wolf of Wall Street" tomorrow night probably. Can't wait as it does look good although I hear it drags on a bit as it's 3 hours long ~ still a friend told me it's funny & has some fit women in it so should be worth the numb bum. @marzman ~ "Captain Phillips" now on my to watch list thanks.

Humpy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Saw 12 years a slave, AMAZING! +1 very good film! Story line is what you expect from a film based on slavery but the acting is 1st class. Gravity - All I can say is Meh... Much about nothing. Visually good that's all I can say really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I saw Elysium and it was awful! American hustle is slow going at first but a clever and cool film I thought, though mr Mrs hated it. Lone survivor was awesome and you will enjoy it if you like action / war films I am off to watch wolf of Wall Street tomorrow as everyone keeps raving about it.

Humpy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Last Vegas - a good watch and mainly due to the awesome line up of oldie actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerzed Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I watched the campain last Saturday. Very funny especially the young chubby kid wen he said he shaved the dog and put some of the hair on his nut sack!! I gave up going to the pictures some time ago as I just go to sleep. The last film I went to watch and stayed awake all the way through was fantastic 4 ...... Jessica Alba in a skin tight suit ....... 'nuff said! Can't wait for Anchorman 2 to hit the small screen :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Last Vegas - a good watch and mainly due to the awesome line up of oldie actors. +1 - Was it just me or is this just a standard 'Nice Film' - Not catagorised as Horror/Action/Romance etc - Just a nice film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I saw Amercan Hustle earlier this week. I found it really boring. Like an episode of the BBC show 'Hustle' (which i liked) but set in 1978 and stretched (uneccessarily) over 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that ~ was just talking to HAMLNJ and he said pretty much the same thing. One to miss by the sounds of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think what made it worse is the fact that I didn't appear to be enjoying it as others in there. They were even laughing at bits I didn't even find funny. I think I may of walked out if I wasn't being given a lift home I think what this thread has quickly highlighted is everyone has different tastes.
