Films you've watched recently.

Just re-watched 12 Monkeys and Brazil. Might go on a Terry Gilliam spree and do The Fisher King next. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth a watch?

Also saw District 9 recently after all the rave reviews. Meh. It was alright. Nothing more. Anyone else seen it and is bemused by the hype?

I saw District 9 the other day. I liked it. Makes a change from all of the big budget garbage that comes out of Hollywood these days. It was different, and enjoyable.

I just watched The Bourne Identity again today. It really does piss all over the new Bond films. A great trilogy, and I hear that a fourth one will be made next year.

I recently bought Frost/Nixon and The Wrestler. Both extremely enjoyable films . The Wrestler has a simple concept, but powerful message, which Mickey Rourke plays outstandingly.


Frost/Nixon is gripping, with Michael Sheen playing the role with subtle determination.

I watched Bruno today as well. It was what I expected- Cringeworthy, occasionally outrageous, and pretty funny. 7/10.

Bruno amuses with it's extreme nature.

Ive not heard of any of these films FFS

Did I ever mention how I saw a screening of 12 Monkeys in the company of Terry Gilliam... ?

Is that a perk of being a Mod?

The Fisher King used to be my favourite film- I'd probably find it a bit too Robin Williams beardy these days but would def recommend it. There's a great scene in Grand Central station where it become a big sort of beautiful ballroom.

Agree, the Bourne films are much better than Bond.

Last film I saw - 'Aliens in the Attic'.

It's a SA movie, and therefore, by definition, over your head.

I saw Dorian Gray yesterday. It was shite.

Vilks in Barry Norman mode.

I got smashed with him once in a pub just outside the House of Commons. Can't even remember it's name but it was only a two minute walk.

So it's no great accomplishment if you meet with Terry Gilliam? Seeing as he meets with everybody he see's!
