Films I watched this week
Discussion
Kind Hearts and Coronets - as close to a ten as one can get
Wanderlust - nice lil romcom, the précis made me think of Packin' It In, it was like that 90's gem, but it had enough lil quirks to make up for it's fairly generic formula. And ANt-Man is always good to watch, especially his impro out-takes.
Ender's Game - Very nice, it really drew me in and the eponymous actor was quite intense without being creepy or strained, very good, only watched it 'cas of Solo, but I really enjoyed it, I sort of half knew the ending, but it was still a gripper.
Secret Life of Walter Mitty - Only watched this because I love the original. It started off poorly, and the dreams bits were very meh and got more and ore tedious, I almost switched off, but I didn't and glad I didn't because as as soon as the dream stuff was left behind it kicked into gear and became a different film, much more worthy of watching and tuned into a lovely film, so much so that I was really involved at the end. And loved the end song...which the
of a voiceover didn't spoilt too much.

The 2013 Ben Stiller reprise of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty... what a complete and totally unexpected gem, and makes two good films Sean Penn has been in (with Carlito's Way)
Very much this. Expected little, enjoyed it. Beautifully filmed in places and bonus Lada Niva action.

Falcon and the snowmanState of grace
Tapps
u turn :- particularly under rated.
Plus a few more great films. I think he's a **** but he has been In some classic movies.
The Truth. About the CBS investigation into George W Bush avoiding military service in the Vietnam war. Good portrayal about how the story became about attacks on the reporters and the authenticity of a particular memo rather than whether the story was actually true or not.
OK for a Sunday evening - 8/12

Saturday watched Secret Life of Pets, the trailers had the best bits, dammit. I was looking forward to this for months, and whilst it was enjoyable it didn't properly fulfil my expectations...7.2/10
Sunday watched Secret Life of Walter Mitty , must be the third time I've seen it, and it bears repeated viewing IMO. One of personal favourites, great pace, visuals and score....8.9/10
Could do with watching something that isn't secret now...

Started watching "I am Legend" & after 15 mins switched it off!
Yeah it's pretty awful.If they could have chosen a different lead, that would'av helped.

It didn't help that I'd just watched Threads for the first time ever the day before going to the cinema to see I am Legend. Just a rubbish film. Apparently the book ending is totally different and the twist is that the last human is actually the bad guy who steals their children in the night and does experiments on them while they're just trying to get on with their lives and rebuild.
Yeah, and I love apoc films, I also enjoy the Heston vehicle, The Omega Man. That too has a different ending.The Will Smith version, the cinematic ending was typical murder-death-kill b
ks, but the alternative ending does show that reality that you mention, that the 'others' are trying to get on with their lives. I prefer the non-cinmatic ending.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
