List the films you've seen at the cinema: 2009

The Wrestler- Feckin' ace it was too.

Looking to get to see Milk and Frost/Nixon this week if I get the time (highly unlikely) but funnily enough not Valkyrie

I saw that yesterday, I'm not a fan of wrestling but I was persuaded by my boyfriend to go, & I really enjoyed it, it's brilliant

I've also see Defiance which I also enjoyed, and it made me cry :o and Slumdog Millionaire, which I didn't think was as good as it's being hyped to be, and also had some unexpected violent bits considering it's being touted a as a 'feel good movie'
 
so far this year -
Defiance
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk

and today The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, I had'nt set out to see this film but just thought I'd go to the cinema and watch whatever film was about to start, which was this. I'd heard a lot of good things about it (Johnathon Ross was raving about it on Film 2009 this week) but was a bit put off by it being nearly 3 hours long (I don't like to sit still for that length of time) but it really was bloody brilliant - I'm so glad I went. I was'nt bored for one minute of it:cool:

A bit like forest gump only in reverse?

Buffalo 66 - was at the college cinema
The Wrestler - bit cliche but acting is tops
 
Che Part 1 - thought it was excellent & looking forward to Part 2

Revolutionary Road - sad, atmospheric & well-acted, overall good, but a bit predictable
 
Went to watch the Wrestler this avvie and loved it, great performance from Mickey Rourke, simple but intriguing story and quite moving in parts.
 
Australia 8/10 - yes it is a bit long but also gave me a new respect for Nicole Kidman as i felt she was a good sport
Slumdog Millionaire 5/10 - big budget strongly promoted film trying to masquerade as some kind of social justice commentary
The Reader 4/10 - meh
Vicky Christina Barcelona 7/10- Cruz looked good and excellent scenery
The Wrestler 8/10 - just for Mickey Rourke: good to see him happy. Always good to see the delightful Marisa Tomei
 
Leave your brains at the door and enjoy 'he's just not that into you' We loved it. Rom com chick flick at its best. Loads of top names, funny dialogue, nice furnishings, someone to love and someone to hate. Ace!
 
A preview screening of Notorious earlier this week. I liked it, some really good in jokes. Not so good was Tupac coming across as a one dimensional nutter and Lil' Kim's storyline, I can see why she blasted it. Only other downside was knowing the ending!

1. 'Love & Honour' - Japanese filum at the ICA. Disappointed me a bit. Usually love this kind of thing, but didn't. Simple story but I just didn't love it. 6/10
2. Slumdog Millionaire - I loved it actually. 10/10

3. 'Üç maymun' - 'Three Monkeys': Turkish film at the NFT. Good but slow and a bit too highly emotional/depressing for a Friday evening. Good film but maybe I wasn't awake enough to enjoy it as much as I might have another time. 6/10.
 
Che - Pt 1 9/10
Slumdog Millionaire - 10/10
The Reader 6.5/10

My mate has his orange sim card again so weekly visits to the cinema are back on :)
 
Changeling (8/10)
Che - Part One (9/10)
Defiance (7.5/10)
Revolutionary Road (7/10) - very good acting but overall just a bit meh
 
Changeling (8/10)
Che - Part One (9/10)
Defiance (7.5/10)
Revolutionary Road (7/10)
Slumdog Millionaire (9/10)
 
Slumdog and Button, so FAR more mainstream than usual. This may have to change (though the other half usually has other ideas, hah)

yeah, never go.

I think the last thing we saw before this year was erm... the one that everyone was talking about a year ago but I can't remember the name.

Not Enigma file, not Ipcress File, not Pickwick Papers :D, not Holy Grail... :o

It'll come to me in a minute :D


Da Vinci Code. That's it :o

4. Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona - really liked it. 9/10.
 
Che - Part Two.

Excellent, though a lot of it was similar to Part One with guerillas planning, building camps, converting peasants to the revolutionary cause and dodging (or not dodging :() hails of bullets.

I though it was riveting and actually better than Part One, though when me, my partner and our friend we saw it with discussed it, it was hard to put my finger on why.

The end is very movingly done.
