Might we have a film board?

[percy toboggan]

It's been mentioned before but as far as I'm aware not exhaustively.
Is there any room on this site for a film section?
It'd be a good way of minimising my input to the 'general' board and I'm sure others might fancy the idea of exchanging news and reviews.

I've just ordered three and bought one:
The Painted Veil

Kalifornia
The Valley of Elah
Junebug

for us holiday in Fife.
Also planning a trip to Dundee's multi-plex....hoping Benny Button will be on...might spend the day there and watch t'Wrestler en'all.

A film section would be good!

I enjoyed "The day the earth stood still" last week! It was rather good!

I do enjoy my movies! Have over 500 DVD's! Dont believe in "pirate" copies really. Would rather buy the dvd to enjoy it without the guy infront needing the toilet!

What genre movies does people enjoy?

Yeah a film section would be a good idea.I'm like shelly and enjoy watching film's and have a large collection of DVD's and videos.
I enjoy seeing what other peeps think of a film and if it is the same as mine. Could be a simple post of a brief description and a mark out of ten.

As to "The day the earth stood still" gonna have to disagree with ya shelly I was looking forward to this film but found it rather disapointing with Keanu reeves acting leaving much to be desired and below par effect's. 5/10.

I was disapointed with the ending i have to say! I enjoyed the story line it was following though! But yes they could have done better with a few things! i would give it 7/10.

My al-time favourite film has to be Pans Labyrinth! 10/10 for that film! The spanish makes the movie! I absolutely love it!

I do love movies!

Hmph!!!

Joking!

[Boozeburglar]

i think it is a great idea

film is a huge thing, and can easily justify a large slot

Behave you two, do you want to get me into trouble? The temptation to comment is really tempting but I think it would not only take the thread off topic but get my wrists slapped as well.

[bettedaviseyes]

has anyone seen The curious case of benjamin button....

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ stars Brad Pitt as a man who is born 80 years old and ages backwards. The film takes us through Benjamin’s unusual life, from 1918 to the 21st century, and the extraordinary people and places he encounters, as he grows young.

Great idea for a Film Board. Can we talk about Star Wars? lol

Which brings me onto another question. Where is it suitable to speak about TV shows/sitcoms that we all like.

[Sandra_B]

At the risk of looking like a big bairn I have to say the Bolt was one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time!

I like star wars!

[youoldduffer]

Nothing wrong with the first 3 starwars films or is it the last three lol. Didnt think much of the prequel's found the acting a bit wooden and jar jar bink's ohhh god he was annoying.

Anyone seen "Rise of the lycan's"??? I'm off to glasgow this weekend and want to see this film.

On a slightly off topic anyone been to that alienwars http://www.alienwars.com/ as again plan going to it too, though i can imagine you will hear my screams in caithness.

Well worth seeing. There were only seven other people in the theatre in Dundee on thursday afternoon but three hours went by quite quickly.

A film to be admired - and seen on the larger screen perhaps. It's ambitious and the CGI & Make-up effects of the ageing Pitt and Blanchett are remarkable. I was also amazed they managed to make Pitt look like a twenty year old.

A fairy tale of course, but no less interesting for that. There are some good moral messages and some useful tips in the narrative. It's a 12A cert which is about right.

If you're planning on seeing it I'd not try to dissuade you.Well worth four quid and will buy the dvd.

An excellent movie watched last night on dvd.
Tommy Lee Jones plays a grieving father whose Son is murdered soon after returning Stateside from active service in Eye-rack!

Believable (inspired by true events) and deals with the brutalisation of young men by war. Charlize Theron is superb as the cop co-opted to the case when it's obvious the military are shielding their own and washing their dirty laundry in private.

Jones is really growing on me of late...he was good in 'No Country For Old Men' and 'The Missing' His performances improve with age. I only wish mine did.

I bought the dvd a few weeks ago but have yet to watch it. Tommy Lee Jones is a firm favourite of mine which prompted me to buy it. It sounds good percy so I must watch it soon.
