Danny G Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Just about to watch Drive, it is supposed to be very good Quote
Dan.m Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Drive is not great really to be honest. Soundtrack is alright though. Â Recently watched I Saw the Devil, a korean revenge film. Â Amazing. Quote
Maggie Tate Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Drive is the most overrated film of the last five years. Should be called Drivel. Quote
bgoefc Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Talking of German thrillers, I recently watched Das Boot for the first time.  What a top film, didn't see that ending coming either.  I watched this when it first aired on the tele as a 8 or 10 part serial of 1 hour programmes in the 80's  Its one of the finest pieces of war depictions ever made in my humble opinion. i have the dvd of the film version but its obviously beencut to ribbonds to fit it into a reasonable time slot.  There have been other good efforts showing a unadulterated non pc objective view of ww2 from the german point of view. If you enjoyed this you should watch Stalingrad, again subtitled but can be viewed in full on youtube. Edited May 23, 2012 by bgoefc Quote
Zico Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Drive is the most overrated film of the last five years. Should be called Drivel.  Still not sure if gosling was meant to be the strong silent type or just a bit simple  Def overrated, very much like history of violence in many ways  Saw ides of march with him in the other night, thats worth a watch, as is crazy stupid love   Quote

DazBob Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I've seen Drive twice. Wasn;t sure what to make of it after the first time. Really enjoyed it 2nd time round. Quote

Boothy Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Drive is the most overrated film of the last five years. Should be called Drivel. Â Pipped by the most over-rated film ever, Shawshank Redemption. Quote
DIPS Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I still can't decide if I like Drive or not. Cracking soundtrack. Was hyped up a lot by the Ryan Gosling fan girls once released which put me off it. Â Went to watch The Dictator last night. Not Sacha Cohens best movie but as you'd expect plenty of laugh out Lou moments and well scripted comedy. One scene in particular involving child birth was hilarous 8/10.

TroySwoosh Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I Can recommend Iron Sky, tis available in all known outlets  http://youtu.be/He_PWsJqsVY Quote
barryk32 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Right Troy, I've had this a week or so and thought it looked shite. Â I'm giving it a go on your say so, it'd best not be shit. Â 4 minutes in and the baddies have just blown the goodies spaceship up. Are explosions in space possible? Quote

Are explosions in space possible?  if not, it's just made a whole genre look a bit daft  mind you  spaceships shooting each other, there's many questions to be answered before yours Quote
SHAT Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Speaking of war films, everybody should watch City of Life and Death. Never heard of it have you? Trust me, you'll not regret it. Seen it,very good film.Was a bit dubious at first with it being a foreign film (subtitles etc) but it didn't spoil it at all.Bit like an Oriental Schindlers List. Quote
madthatter Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Still not sure if gosling was meant to be the strong silent type or just a bit simple  Def overrated, very much like history of violence in many ways  Saw ides of march with him in the other night, thats worth a watch, as is crazy stupid love  That film (Drive) was utter shite and i'll watch pretty much anything. Christ it wer bad. Did Daz say he'd watched it twice? Glutten. Absolute glutten;)  Don't quite agree with Boothy though . . .Shawshank is immense. It's one of those thats gets better with each watch.  Not seen it yet but that Prometheus looks like the bollocks. Out Fri i think. Edited May 29, 2012 by madthatter Quote
Spider Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I rank Dracula with Keanu Reeves in it as one of my favourite ever films. Â Therefore, my opinion is likely to be unworthy of much consideration. Quote

Zico Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 We Need To Talk About Kevin  laugh a minute stuff Quote
Maggie Tate Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 We Need To Talk About Kevin is a great film for people who like films. I haven't read the book though and the author is a girl called Lionel. Â Anyhow we watched Get Low, which has got Bill Murray and Robert Duvall in. 3 out of 5. Quote
