List the films you've seen at the cinema: 2008

I'm too simple to keep up with TWO threads - the other thread should be retitled What Film Did You See Last Night?
 
This is England - well worth seeing 7/10
Bee Movie - not bad for a kids film but I got bored 6/10
Kite Runner - surprisingly good version of the book 8/10
Lust, Caution - very worth seeing 9/10
Half Moon (on at the ICA) - interesting but flawed 5/10

I feel like I've already seen more good films this year than in most of last year, which was, imo, a rubbish year for films.

Ps. Please don't post last year's films here - there's a whole old thread for that ----->
Some cinemas show films that aren't new though, like the prince charles :(
 
that's okay biddley, this is acceptable. i meant please don't post films that you actually saw last year; in 2007. this is against the rules.
still haven't really been to the movies this year - maybe tonight with my blonde friend.
i wanna see lust, caution though. plus the ritzy looks cool this month... lots i want to see.

(grrr, stop going without me brainaddict - i'm your only friend! :mad:)
 
Lust Caution - OK but too many erotic scenes
PS I love You - mushy stuff
Dan in Real Life - nice little romcom

No comprende :confused: But seriously, they are genuinely an important part of the story. Are you a nun? :p

I didn't think that they were important part of the story. Erotic scenes are OK but they went on for a bit too long. Being Chinese female myself I was wondering it's not a film Wei Tang (the lead actress) could take her parents along to watch! ;)

i thought it was essential for the story.
their affair was intense.
and the visual eroticism elaborated that intensity.
wasn't that the whole point of their relationship?
 
Before the devil knows you're dead
No country for hold men

Both excellent
Preferred the Coen Bros cos the devil one was just so unremittingly bleak

The Kite Runner (1st half - 8/10, 2nd half - 0/10): 4/10
Really? That's what I thought of the book (the latter part being a bit rubbish) but I thought the film wasn't so afflicted with the problem. If anything it toned down some of the melodramatic excesses of the book I thought.

I keep wanting to discuss films and this isn't really meant to be a discussion thread is it? :(
