Entertainment & Music Anyone Seen Any Good Movies Lately?..

I think it adds to it. All action can be too much sometimes.

 

Went along to see MR HOLMES Today it's a mystery,Ian McKellen plays MR-HOLMES ,,quite different from Jeremy Brett who played Sherlock in 41 episodes in the Granada tv series but this is a classic..

 

I have been watching some of the classics, comedy

Apartment (Shirley McLean, Jack Lemmon)
Pink Panther, Peter Seller

Am going to revisit some of Hitchcock's classics next, never really enough of this stuff.

Amy Winehouse documentary, going to flicks this week, have heard this is brilliant.

MTR

 

There was a lot coming out from the AMY-WINEHOUSE movie yesterday and some looked upset but I have been told some of the music remixed is excellent,next one is Last Cab To Darwin..

 

I have heard the same, music is brilliant, I have some of her stuff on my play list, what a waste, what a talent.

MTR

 

I got addicted to the Jeremy Brett version a few years ago, he was the best Sherlock Holmes for sure.

 

Last Cab to Darwin,,gets a hold of you this movie,it's about a taxi driver,who finds out he has cancer and not long to live,and drives his taxi to Darwin,my wife strated crying about half way through,made me also near the end have a few teardrops explode..excellent Australian cast..

 

I watched "Hot wet American Summer" last night. I barely got through it, even with my stupid cult movie mindset on.

 

Watched:

- Insidious 3
- Cop Car
- We Are Still Here
- We Are Blood

All decent watches.

Re-watched Sinister a few weeks ago, which is a great movie. In preparation for Sinister 2, which I am looking forward to.

 

Went along and saw,"Suffragette " about the early movement For Ladies to vote,sad movie..

 

Watched some oldies on the weekend, Revenge of the Nerds, Return of the Living Dead II and Spaceballs.

 

saw Wolfcreek and Wolfcreek 2 the other night....double-whammy.

John Jarrat - amazing.

 

I found Spy to be way funnier than I probably should have could have just been a stressful week and needed the silliness, but in any case, found it hilarious.

Haven't seen as many movies as I would like to recently, but the stand out from the last few years would be The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Kicking myself for not seeing it at the cinema, I recommend watching it on the best possible setup you can - it benefits from a massive screen and awesome audio.

- missed out on the midnight screening, but I'll be watching Star Wars at 9am at IMAX.

 

I really like his Sherlock, but possibly like Benedict Cumerbach better. I did find the styling and plots a little annoying on the Benedict one though.

Cheers,

This is an oldie but a goodie, I watch it regularly.... the Talented Mr Ripley
Matt Damon, say no more

The Talented Mr. Ripley

 

Yes, love it too. The book is excellent as well.
Has anyone mentioned Starred Up yet? Excellent!
Also Babadook worth a look or two. Thriller.
And another great one I watched this week but can't remember the name . Has Robert De Niro, Animal Farm Aussie mum, and 2 younger actors who I don't know about a guy who gets out of rehab and wants to get back with his wife. Not as corny as it it could be. Edit: Silver Linings
If you want to get creeped out, can't go past Snowtown. Very, very good.

 

Yes, another favourite to be watched again and again. Saw another doco a few weeks back about K2 and the huge losses in just 1 or 2 days. Quite sad actually.
Edit: ok has been mentioned a couple of times already - The Summit.

 

I thought he was excellent in Good Will Hunting. Great movie. Good performance by the late Robin Williams too.

 

The Martian and Legend were both fantastic.
