Anyone seen Searching For Sugarman? Great story. Also recommend The Devil and Daniel Johnston. Two great films.
Yes great film. One of the better documentaries I saw last year along with the one about the two scots lads that posed as Americans to launch a rap career.
The Great Hip Hop Hoax - we sell that film worldwide! :-)

Yes, Searching for Sugarman is a great film, especially when you are not in the mood for something dark or violent.First I heard of it was when the guy himself was interviewed on the Andrew Marr show. The second one about the hip hop hoax sounds good too.
Got dragged along to see Cuban fury on Valentine's day by the Missus. Awful beginning but absurd to consider a fat boy could dance better than the really hot guys. It passed the time. 2/5
Saw the Lego Movie last night - really very good. It's somewhere in between Inception and Toy Story, and very funny. Don't think it's just for kids, it's really really not.
This film just goes to show that just because something has won an award it doesn't make it any good. This is a film where nothing really happens to a bunch of people you couldn't really care less about.
Basically this is a ninety minute car chase that is as exciting as watching paint dry. I should have known better when i saw Selina Gomez was in the cast. Utterly Pointless.
I know its not a new film , but just watched Rush on Blu Ray this week , loved it , don't know how much of it was historically accurate , but their were some funny & shocking moments in the film , 9 out of 10, thought the guy who played Lauda was excellent.

Yes great film. Watched it with my parents last month. None of us were interested in F1 so didn't really expect we would enjoy it. In the end it turned out to be one of the most entertaining films I'd watched for some time.
An interesting documentary about two Scottish lads who passed themselves off as two Californian rappers and called themselves Silibil n'Brains and ended up fooling record executives and fans alike but only in London. The title is a bit misleading as they didn't really hoax many people. For me the only fools were the people who liked dross they sang ( if you can call rapping singing).
Lone Survivor.....as war type films go, it was pretty good. The action sequences were jaw clenchingly awesome, the only thing that let it down was the over enthusiatic yahoo "we're Americans and arent we damned wonderful " dialogue. Realism struck home at the end when you see the footage of the real people and that was a bit of a choker.....I felt exhausted by the finish and my jaw really did ache due to the gritted teeth during the gruesome fighting. Could have been a 9/10 but will have to settle for a 8/10 due to the aforementioned yahooisms.
Prague, it's a bit of an adventure story - director is Wes Anderson, so everything is very vivid/ cartoon-esque. About the life of the Concierge at the hotel, set in a fictional Eastern European country in the 1930s. Fantastic cast including Ralph Fiennes as the concierge, Willem Defoe as the baddy, Jude Law, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel etc. Get the feeling they had a lot of fun making it! Overall it is very lighthearted, though with a few darker undertones. Kind of Tea with Mussolini meets Brother Where Art Thou if that makes any sense at all?!

I get the picture. I think. Wonder if it will make it out here though.
If anybody has seen this nonsense could they please explain to me what was going on ? Rubbish like this gives the British film industry a bad name. I hated it.
Another one from the Glasgow Festival to look out for: Calvary. Irish black comedy, with Liam Gleeson as a "good priest" whom a man at confession threatens to murder in revenge for the abuse he suffered at the hands of another priest in childhood. Heavy subject matter, but actually enjoyable, sometimes funny and moving story. From the same director as "The Guard".

Before you see this film you need to leave your brains at the door to enjoy it , otherwise you will find yourself picking at the massive holes in the plot. Basically , Liam Neeson seems to be playing the same bloke he plays in Taken , Unknown and The Grey. Fun , if you like that sort of thing.
3 days to Kill. Another as the above...leave your thinking head at the doorway.....Kevin Costner playing a newly diagnosed cancer victim CIA agent is coerced by the hidesouly mis-cast Amber Heard with the promise of a miracle drug if he takes on one last assignment......Kev tries hard to hold it all together, but who ever decided to cast the leather clad Heard as his boss seriously had his brains firmly tucked away in his pants. Connie Nielsen provides the eye candy for the older generation (Princess Lucilla from Gladiator). 5.5/10 the extra .5 is down to Kev's presence.
Saw Non-Stop, sadly I cannot agree with Beds, even if you actively try to shut your brain off through the entire film it remains ridiculous, and in a stupid way, not an entertaining way. Taken is clearly what the marketing types were going for, doesn't come any where close sadly.
Went to see monument men as I was interested in the subject matter, despite it Having some well known actors in it for me it was a big disappointment, I'm not so sure it did justice to the real people who put their necks on the line to do this.

Also finally saw Rush on DVD and thought it was excellent. Lauda comes across as a proper star... great performance. The Actual racing was much better than I was expecting. 8/10
about time is a cute little comedy by Richard Curtis starring bill nighy and is really well done. 8/10
I watched Gravity expecting it to be terrible but actually thought the middle hour was captivating if the idea of being in space is of interest to the viewer. Think it has been too harshly criticized on this thread. 6/10

I don't have any children.
I've just been to see The Lego Movie.
And I think everything is awesome!

If you loved the book, you will enjoy the film. If you haven't read the book you are in for a treat.
8.5/10
NO idea what it was about ! Utter piffle !!
Stunning performances from Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto but the film itself wasn't quite as good as i was expecting.
