Last Film You Watched

She was awful as was the movie. Friend was 'ok'.

The Cowboy said:
So yeah, I watched 50 Shades of Grey with the missus on Saturday. Only watched it cos a) boobs, and b) increased chance of hanky-panky.

It was poor. The acting was abysmal (I quite like that Jamie Dornan, he seems a good guy, but he needs to avoid this line of film in future if he wants to be considered a serious actor), especially the lead woman who is up there with Sandra Bullock as the most wooden, unconvincing actress I've ever seen. Not even remotely attractive either.

Storyline could've easily been much darker and played out akin to Fatal Attraction if they had wanted to, but this would've obviously hit sales from women who creamed themselves over the books.

b) meant it wasn't a complete waste of an evening, mind...

Pretty much summed it up perfectly there, poor acting, no chemistry, and the sex scenes were tame.
Plus i got dragged along when it first came out so i had to put up with the place being full of sex starved middle aged women shrieking and laughing like school girls

Any sex scene using Ellie Goulding as the accompanying music has me detumescing at a remarkable rate.
 
The Wicker Man (original)

here's my review of the DVD release that I viewed...

The Wicker Man is a film that is effing bananas, regardless of how many times you view it. It is a coming of age tale of love, scandal, betrayal and ultimately redemption, the special effects may seem dated now but at the time they were cutting edge. Up until the denouement or "end", it could be argued that it is a reasonably gentle ride, peppered with Sgt. Howie's doing his best to upset a community of peace loving locals with his refusal to jon in the festivities, his unwarranted anger and what has been described in some quarters as "Christian superiority" but it's really just incessant snooping by a po-faced five oh and you can't fail to empathise with the villagers when they turn him into a human chicken in a basket at the end. It is a beautifully woven tale, and some of the character's animal masks have to be seen to be believed (see if you can spot Deputy Dawg).


Edward Woodward is fantastic as the uptight Howie but loses points for not throwing one up the blonde, whilst the titular Wicker Man is beautifully portrayed by Christopher Lee wearing a kilt and looking like he has smelly breath. It's film in Ireland or somewhere, and with some excellent extras (including a recently re-discovered Slipknot soundtrack as a CD) and three versions of the film itself, with the additional director's cut that includes an actual potato and a life size poster of Britt Ekland in nowt but a Batman mask and roller boots, it is a package that no fan should be without.
 

Obtained San Andreas Quake thinking it was San Andreas (mainly because of the reviews of Alexandra Daddario on this thread!) and it was so bad it was funny. 2/10.

Brilliant film that, one of the greatest British ones in my opinion

It was on ITV4 I think during the week, really great moment in British filmmaking & you get to see Brit Ekland norks
 
Watched Good Kill the other night, its about US air force's use of drones in Afghanistan & the effect on the "pilots" (never mind the effect on innocent bystanders getting blown up). Ethan Hawke not overly convincing in the lead role.
