Not having been to the movie picturehouse for longer than I can remember (does the usherette still come round with the ices in the interval? :closedeyes, are there any good newies out? Has anyone seen Mike Leigh's Happy Go Lucky? Quite keen on that, and Deception with Ewan McGregor.
i was going to buy that the other day andy!! i love that film! richard grant rocks! last thing i saw at the pictures was shrek 3, which was fantastic (as are all the shrek movies!) and i want to go and see the new jack black one too, but inlikely to happen as i dont go out, too many kids :angry: amor mundi hatty
I saw Rise of the footsoldiers last night, an extremely violent film with bad language throughout but very true to life..it shows the build up to 3 gangland members getting murdered in Essex in a Range Rover, a brilliant British film and a true story! :41::33:
No Country for Old Men Wow! I loved this movie so I went to see it twice and that doesn't happen often. Perhaps it's already done the rounds in the UK, but it's still showing here in NZ.
I enjoyed No Country For Old Men, but what the hell was that ending about? Jesus. Everybody left the cinema shaking their heads. It's notable for one of the most sinister "baddies" in cinema history. Well worth the oscar he got. +A
'Football Factory' DVD of Jon King's book Saw this the other night; extremely accurate & harrowing violence in the name of the beloved game. There is a 2004 DVD review and three for auction cheaply on Ebay at the moment. andi :m16:uke::m21:
Oscars Is it going to be The Reader and Slumdog scooping the board tonight then, do you reckon? Anyone seen either of them?
Withnail's house Did you see that Uncle Monty's derelict holiday home in the Lake District went for £265,000 last week? No planning permission granted for anything yet and estimated cost to get it habitable £150,000. But beautiful views and setting. The new owner hopes Withnail trekkies [fell walkers] and tourists will treat it as a shrine to aspire to and visit like Wordsworth's cottage. chrs andi
i don't go to the pictures. i'd rather watch stuff in the comfort of my own home, even if it means waiting for the dvd to come out. it's my belief that people can't be trusted under cover of darkness...!
I would really like to see this one, actually anything with Ralph Fiennes is a must for me... did you see Brugges?
Been there...didn't see film! Although I've seen a fair number of Fiennes' films, I find him a bit like Hugh Grant in that there never appears much character variation. I saw him on stage in Hamlet at the Hackney Empire some years back...after which he started an affair with his 'mother' Francesca Annis who was cast in the role.:wink:
Seen Slumdog and loved the film. It is a treat to watch, long though so make sure you don't drink too much during!
I... I always thought being a Hippie was a qualification of something? Or being someone? And thinking about it...??? Objectively or otherwise. chrs andi
He doesn't necessarily, it's just the way it's pronounced if one is not, well...of the lower order!:biggrin: The historic Fiennes family seat is Broughton Castle. Nice there.
