The Film Discussion Thread.

there are sequels as well although the second one is a bit confusing

Second one is a prequel.

Watched Foxcatcher the other night... was a weird one. Not too sure what to make of it.

All based on a true story, have watched most of it, was a weird film, but good if you stick with it.

Also wanted to put while on holiday in Spain, I actually got to visit the set and area were a lot of the spaghetti westerns were filmed, Tabernas Desert - Fort Rio Bravo. Didn't know until I got there that actually a lot of other films such as the Magnificent Seven was filmed there, parts of Lawrence of Arabia, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade and Dr Who were all filmed there.

Will post some pics up of the place once I get the chance.

Just watched Interstellar.

F**k me.

Cool.

No thanks.

Fantastic movie, alot of funny moments too, full of action, Guy Ritchie delivers yet again.

Watched Interstellar last night.

I want to watch Intersteller but can't bring myself around to watching it because I hate Mathew fuuuuuuuuuuuking McConaughey. Can't stand in any of his movies.

Tried to watch True Detective but could not go part 2 episodes because of Mathew fuuuuuuuuuuuking McConaughey. I understand it is one of the best shows but I can't stand Mathew fuuuuuuuuuuuking McConaughey so how am going to watch it. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk Mathew fuuuuuuuuuuuking McConaughey.

It's basically some sh*t about love and a black hole.

The best bit was SURPRISE IT'S MATT DAAAAMONNNN!!!

Tonight 6.15pm and up until next friday - One Night in Istanbul - the film version showing on Sky Premiere

Saw advanced screenings of Sicario the other day, think it's out properly now - well worth your pennies, brilliant. You'll be thinking about it and where your moral boundary may be for a long time after. Blunt, Brolin, Del Toro, brilliant. Del Toro especially. Highly underrated actor at times.

Also saw Straight Outta Compton last week, loved that as well. Brilliant performances. Maybe a few details left out but overall pretty good telling of one of the great sagas in music - and social - history. I still can't get over how much Cube Jr looks like his old man.

Watched "John Dies At The End" last night, and I have to say that's one very strange, fu**ed up film, although pretty funny in places.

Sicario is on my list mate.

Not if you've already watched Narcos

Del Toro is a brilliant actor, still think his 4 hour biopic of Che Guevara is superb.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND confirmed for 2017, GODZILLA 2 for 2018, GODZILLA VS. KONG for 2020

Burbank, CA – October 14, 2015 – Following Legendary’s and Warner Bros. Pictures’ 2014 success with the global reinvention of the Godzilla franchise, the companies have come together to create an epic, new shared cinematic franchise. All-powerful monsters become towering heroes for a new generation, revealing a mythology that brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new. Monarch, the human organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film, will expand their mission across multiple releases.

The announcement that the reinvention of monsters continues was made today by Legendary CEO, Thomas Tull and Kevin Tsujihara, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. The initial trio of films are 2017’s KONG: SKULL ISLAND, GODZILLA 2 in 2018 and then GODZILLA VS. KONG, arriving in theaters in 2020. While Legendary maintains its new home at Universal Pictures, the GODZILLA films remain in partnership with Warner Bros., who will now also distribute KONG as a part of this franchise. Production on KONG: SKULL ISLAND begins October 19th.

Warner Bros. and Legendary released Godzilla in May 2014 with an agreement to release Godzilla 2 on June 8, 2018. Both films feature the human Monarch organization. Shortly following Legendary’s pact with NBC Universal, Legendary acquired rights to additional classic characters from Toho’s Godzilla universe, including Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. This paved the way for developing a franchise centered around Monarch and anchored by Godzilla, King Kong, and other famous creatures.

When Legendary announced films centered on Godzilla and Kong, fans all over the world speculated these two characters might one day meet in the same film. Classic Toho monsters including King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan, as announced at Comic-Con 2014, may also join the Legendary pantheon of giant monster mayhem going forward.

“Audiences really responded to Godzilla,” stated Tull. “Today, I’m excited to reveal that film was only the beginning of an epic new entertainment universe. As a lifelong fan of these characters, I’ve always wanted to see the ultimate showdown, and today we’re pleased to be announcing that and more.”

“Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla,’” said Tsujihara. “It’s great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”

GODZILLA VS. KONG will be released in 2020.

Just watched Man on Wire again.

If you haven't seen it make a point when you can. One of the best documentary films you'll ever see.

Robert Zemekis film is out about the same story and apparently doesn't do the story justice but the set piece of this feature walk is worth watching it for so might still have to catch that.

First reviews of Spectre have been released after initial screening for critics etc tonight. By all accounts (looking at the scores) it seems this is going to pick up where Skyfall left off. Outstanding reviews so far.

Can't wait to see it.

Skyfall was excellent.

My son gave me a memory stick then turned round and walked out without saying a word.
So I stuck it in the computer, and it had Everest and Hitman: Agent 47

Everest was OK, but the documentary on netflix was better.
Hitman: Agent 47 was um, quite stylish. sh*t, but stylish 

No wonder he buggered off quick.

Just back from Spectre.

Great Bond movie and a great film in general with some very good action sequences and a more witty script than the previous Craig 007 films but as good as it is it just isn't Skyfall.

Christophe Waltz is good as the villlian but I was a little underwhelmed with him and he wasn't a patch on Javier Bardem's ludicrously over the top Silva. Ben Wishaw is brilliant as Q and builds on the role he began in the previous film while Naomi Harris Moneypenny was almost a side character this time.

Probably a little unfair to compare it to Skyfall as for me it is the ultimate 007 film and Spectre does stand out as a fantastic film on it's own just had a tough act to follow.

Just saw it myself. Agree about Christophe Waltz - good villain but he had an impossible act to follow with Silva. That said, I loved the fact we saw more of Ben Wishaw and Ralph Fiennes. Two great actors who got a great run out. The set pieces were as good as any Bond film I've seen and the locations were, as ever, stunning (although none beat the glories of Glencoe  ). Great entertainment.

Really enjoyed Ant Man, another cracker from the Marvel universe.

Funny, with just the right amount of silly and some great action scenes.
