Interlacing my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gargoyle67]

exactly me thinks there may be a slight frame differential betwixt the two that some encoder has not accounted for Amateur

The Watchmen

Okay I'm about a year behind, not counting the novel...

Superb

[gargoyle67]

Watched:The Maiden Heist the other night and even though it's got a good cast, Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy, It was pretty cack, Tried too hard to be funny in stead of actually being funny 5/10.

Looking forward to this though: The Road.

I love post apocalyptic movies, Always reminds me of zombie flicks.

[gargoyle67]

Gamer 5/10 Could have been so much better if done right ala the Matrix, Worst camera work I've ever seen in a film the director needs to be shot, I'm all for steady cam work like in saving private Ryan but this took the **** hard to even follow the action the camera was jumping about worse than wane sleep on coke

[Munchies]

Gamer really reminded me of that Death Race remake, dunno why though

[Pete]

Gamer, did not get to the end on this 1.

[gargoyle67]

Yes I did day dream through most of it

Pandorum, best part end credits

Watched La Haine and Knowing on Friday.

La Haine - I should have liked it, but I didn't. It's very well made and acted, but as an observational, confrontational film it did nothing for me. Too flighty - it's as though every piece of dialog and scene has been chopped up and thrown around. Come to think of it, it felt like a (rather gritty) months worth of soap opera compressed into a short timespan.

Knowing - enjoyed. Genuinely manages to be imaginative without being insulting. For a big budget film it's remarkable what is presented, and it's a refreshingly non-camp, serious bit of sci-fi.

It was watching the plane crash scene in this that made me and the mrs holiday in the Isle Of Wight last year instead of going to Egypt...

Worst crash sequence .....ever!

[cools]

Aside from slightly iffy (but still very good) CG during that sequence, that part was quite harsh.

[gargoyle67]

Yes disaster films are making a bit of a come back looking forward to 2012.

I remember this. I know exactly what you mean - but then it's just about bearable ...for French film.

I know I am very late to it, but I finally got me Watchmen on Bluray and watched it last night - awesome flick!

[pubjoe]

I haven't see it yet either.

I did watch Hangover last night (with my Mum). Pretty good actually. I like it when comedy films aren't overcrammed with predictable jokes and just let an amusing situation naturally play out.

[chubsta]

Watchmen: best film ever....

waiting on my bd to watch the new cut with 'the black freighter' integrated into it...

You must have missed my love for French film in the JJP thread

[pubjoe]

Well there's some greats, but I think you have to have been brought up on frogs legs to appreciate the majority. Floaty is the word. Even the most hardened French film characters are floaty.

Btw, have you seen Man Bites Dog?

[cools]

Nope, but I will shortly, sounds excellent
