I watched that 'Burn After Reading' t'other day, the one with George Clooney, Frances McCormand and Brad Pitt - was quite a good un. Then again I was off my tits on (prescribed, legal, legitimately obtained) drugs at the time of watching.

i thought it was shite, i had to check twice just to make sure it was a comedy.

Really looking forward to that 'scary' film that is out this week. Think it's called The Devil Inside. Looks cracking from the trailers.

each to their own but fer me it looks like every other exorcism/possession film "based on true events" since the exorcist came out

 

obviously will watch it to see if it's any different

 

doubt it though

FUCK THAT.

i don't do exorcism or possessed films and i wont be making an exception with this one, i watched 30 secs of the trailer and turned it off. Ever since i watched the exorcist when i was 8 similar films always creep me out. plus imdb gave it 3.6 so no ta. enjoy though :D

Zico, isn't that a bit like saying there's no point watching any Rocky, Die Hard or Police Academy films after the first one?

It was a comedy? Anyway - remember my caveat...

i noticed, it could of been me i expected some laugh out loud comedy and i just didnt get it, coen bros films tend to be hit or miss, lewboski, fargo, no country for old men are always going to be equaled out

I thought 'Oh Brother...' was shite, for others it's a work of genius(s) - the Coens must have some polarizing effect, like you said.

 

yeah i thought that was shit as well, each to their own i guess.

no, not at all

 

every exorcism film I've ever seen follows exactly the same premise to the point they are almost identical therefore I find them dull and predictable

 

I doubt there'll be nowt that happens in that film that didn't happen in at least one of the following:

 

 

last exorcism, exorcism of emily rose, the exorcist, the rite etc

 

likewise films like insidious, paranormal activity series etc etc are all the same as amityville and poltergeist

 

 

when I watched Die Hard With Vengeance I found the storyline completely different to Die Hard 1 and didn't know what was coming next, though deep down I did know John McClane would win

 

let us know if it's any good mind, it only gets 7% on Rotten Tomatoes though :thumbsdown:

i thought it was worse than that.

 

although i do believe some such films need a couple of viewing to totally appreciate

aye, i want to like it, but it's just random - style over substance

 

def a mixed bag with the coens for me:

 

 

Pretty Wank

Blood Simple

Barton Fink

The Hudsucker Proxy

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Intolerable Cruelty

 

Wanted To Like More But Thought Were Just Alright Really

No Country for Old Men

Burn After Reading

True Grit (I put this and No Country down to the fact they didn't write them)

 

Superb

Raising Arizona

Miller's Crossing

Fargo

The Big Lebowski

The Man Who Wasn't There

 

Lets Not Talk About

The Ladykillers

 

Not Seen

A Serious Man

These are all good-great:

 

The Hudsucker Proxy

No Country for Old Men

Burn After Reading

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Raising Arizona

Fargo

The Big Lebowski

The Man Who Wasn't There

 

These aren't:

 

Barton Fink

Intolerable Cruelty

 

The rest i haven't seen, or i can't remember them if i have.

 

Not sure why people thought 'Burn After Reading' wasn't funny.

I thought Burn After Reading was alreet. Not a patch on 'great' Coen films such as Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men, but still plently good enough I thought. Certainly not shite IMO. There's a big difference between a film that's supposed to be a comedy and one that's supposed to be a black comedy.

Buffalo 66 - definitely worth a watch

 

=D>

 

don't watch any other Vincent Gallo stuff though - would seem that film was a one off

top top film

I'm still on my run of utter shit.

 

Watched Danny Dyers new one.... for 30 minutes. SHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTEEEEE

 

Act of Valor - Shite would be harsh, we'll say, not brilliant.

Posted

Watched one called The Broken on Sky's On Demand.

 

Read the synopsis and it sounded good.

 

It wasn't. Avoid at all costs. Absolute toss.

Watched the human centipede 2 last night finally. some if the actors are very bad I'm assuming he invited his friends to apper in it, but the gore and sick viewing is all there and it does exactly what it says on the tin. worth a watch as its better than the original.
