Films The Official bit-tech Movie Thread - What have you seen lately?

Hell Drivers - 1957 British film starring Stanley Baker as a newly released ex-con. who goes to work as a gravel truck driver for an extremely dodgy ballast haulage company. A superb supporting cast (including Patrick McGoohan, William Hartnell, Herbert Lom, Sean Connery, Sid James, Gordon Jackson, David McCallum, and Jill ireland). It's an old favourite of mine that I've re-watched many times.

 

Have you seen 3.0 yet? You Can (not) Redo.

The independent (aka council-run) cinema has 1&2 showing just before the Leeds International Film Festival, then 3.0 showing on 17 November and it's on my list of "might see" films.

 

i was amazed at just how different 3.0 was to the others, am seriously looking forward to seeing just how batshit insane 4.0 is.

 

Evangelion (The Original) give you a kitten to love and later SMASH it on a wall before pissing over its corpse and burning the place with gas while the little kitten still breathing. I don't think Hideaki Anno was really out of his depression when he did that.

 

lost his wife iirc

 

Can you believe they originally diffused NGE in the kids TV timeslot ? :-/ Someone was out of his mind loll If I remember well, the ending was somekind of vendetta against the Otaku community that he despised, well that's only a rumor. Now that we are talking about it, I guess I have no choice but to watch the new movies lolll There is no risk for me to be mad since I already know what to expect.

 

Just watched Green Street Hooligans. Not bad flick about a gang of West Ham United football thugs, with Elijah 'Frodo' Wood as an American university dropout tagging along for the kicks.

 

I loved this film. You should try 'The Firm' if you're up for more football hooliganism films.

 

Yeah, I'll give that a go sometime. Haven't really seen many footie films before. 'Goal!' was alright in a family entertainment kind of way. 'When Saturday Comes' was hilarious for the wrong reasons (I must re-watch it! I've only seen it once, at the cinema).

 

If I weren't a Newcastle fan and if I hadn't heard about the manner in which they'd got the on-screen footage, I don't think I'd have enjoyed it so much. However, for me...

9/10

 

Try "I.D." if you can find it. It turns the football hooligan films on their head. Director: Philip Davis; stars: Reece Dinsdale; Warren Clarke.

It's the "best" film of its ilk, if you ask me. Also, read "Service Crew" - the story of Leeds United's hooligans. Very emotive, very close to the truth.

 

Seen both. For some reason, I was really into football hooliganism movies a while ago.

 

The Million Eyes of Su-Muru 5/10

From the series, the worst movies ever made.
Tbh. I did enjoy watching it. It's a bad '60's spy/villain flick, that is really so bad it's good again.

 

You must watch football factory its one of the best

 

Righto, I'll give that a go, too (eventually!).

I just re-watched Halloween (1978), for the first time in many years. I didn't think it was anything special, really. I've probably seen too many other similar films in the intervening years for it to give me any kind of a buzz. Always good to see Donald Pleasance, though. He always gave good value for money, whatever rubbish he was in.

 

Yea I couldn't stand the characters. Was waiting for someone to put a fist through whingy shingy's mouth. Are the movies any more amenable?

Monsters U: Entertaining/10

It's like a Pixar movie on fast forward: everything is a montage. Entertaining but too cliche and way, waaaaay too forced material.

The Lone Ranger: Yawn/10

2.5 hours? **** off. I switched it off after 90 minutes AND I had skipped some. Not one laugh or smile throughout.

 

childs play 8/10

god its as good as i remember!

 

Gravity - 9/10

Fantastic movie. The ending left me a bit wanting, but mainly because I didn't want it to end

 

Everyone is telling me Gravity is a cinema movie. Someone even said I had to do... 3D

 

A friend of mine said IMAX or bust.

Apparently they've shut down the IMAX in Delhi, so...
