    Yes, I thought it was an excellent film.

    We don't need guns, cars, explosions and bucket loads of CGI to be engaged in a film.... though it's needed at times

    Last night I saw RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. It's pretty good, but I was a little disappointed after hearing from a lot of people that it was great. The story telling seemed really manipulated, many of the actions of the main characters were unbelievable to me, and the effects, while pretty impressive, still looked like CGI, and not even as good as King Kong was several years ago. Despite all that it was still quite watchable. ***/*****


    One of my top favourite films from 2011!
    I am extremely serious.
  4. The plot requires a few leaps, but I was very impressed with the storytelling that went without words for large stretches.

  5. Watched the BBC's new version of Great Expectations - first episode. Really enjoyed it (I do not know the story). Gillian Anderson was captivating (again).

    I would like to hear more of Martin Phipps' score.

  6. Didn't they do a version back in 2003 or something?

    I loved The King's Speech, but a car chase wouldn't have hurt. And perhaps a tentacled monster and a couple of giant robots with laser cannons and x-ray vision would have been a good idea.

    Robin Hood (2010)

    Flawed movie, that kind of annoyed me at times. But somehow I ended up enjoying it.

    I think the Costner version was better, though rather more cheesy.

    My rating: 7

    Now that would make me want to watch it! (It would probably end up being more historically correct than the movie as it is so I've read.)

    Because there's a director's cut.

    Very generous of you, I'd give it 2/10.

    And yeah, I'll take Costner's cheesy version over it. Neither is anywhere near as good as Richard Lester's 1976 film ROBIN & MARIAN.

    Of course, Errol Flynn's version is in a class all by itself! cool

    I am really looking forward to that one. It's on the movie channel tonight and I already planned to watch it a week ago, so I can't wait!

    Well, thanks to the movie channel I also saw Prince of Persia - Sands of Time again. I had already seen it, but now I watched it with Quinn. I think it's such a great movie. A good mix of everything and all in the right place.

    In the evening I saw Sanctum again, because Maykel hadn't seen it yet. Again, it impressed me a lot. I searched for the music too because I noticed it and seeing the movie again I noticed the music even more. Has anyone seen this movie? I thought it was very exciting and beautiful too.

    I taped Sanctum, and have set the timer for The King's Speech tonight too! (I have a dinner engagement so I can't watch live.). Synchronicity!

    The only point where we deviate is with Prince Of Persia, which simply couldn't hold my attention both times I tried.

    THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING ( 1975 )


    Brilliant cast, brilliant story, brilliant dialogue, brilliant settings and gloriously un-PC as it should be for a film set in the 1800's, Maurice Jarre's score is perfect for the film.

    They really don't make films like this anymore.

    I didn't give much of a description did I? rolleyes You're absolutely right Pawel, it is from the Kipling story, Christopher Plummer plays a key role as Kipling in the movie. If you've never seen it I highly recommend that you do, story telling and lead actors chemistry par excellence, one of THE great film IMO.

    It's one of a few films which rotate occasionally into the "my favourite film of all" position.

    Does it have proper character motivations and scenes that actually flow from one to the next? It's all I can ask for these days... my standards for an enjoyable film have been somewhat lowered after many of today's blockbuster films.

    I'm not really this pessimistic, but many of today's CGI wankfests do annoy me.

    Have you really not seen this film? ( I ask because it's shown reasonably regularly on TV )

    Nope, never. I might have caught the odd scene, but not to my memory.

    Your description has me wanting to see it though! Especially the un-PC bit. Fuck movies that pander to political correctness!

    It has none of that "modern" sensibility that seems to infest many films set in a certain time period.

    Do yourself a favour and see it, it's good old fashioned story telling with a proper begining and ending, sparkling dialogue and a good story with character development etc etc, I've seen this film a lot of times and I still thoroughly enjoyed viewing it this afternoon.
