So, this thread was quite a long running one on the old board. Let's have a new one.

Anyone seen anything interesting lately? Old or new, dvd or cinema, TV or even video, if you are that behind the times

I saw Finding Neverland the other day. It was good, sad in a happyish way... Johnny Depp has a great Scottish accent in it.

Did I post about the Island?

Well, It was ok. A bit rubbish. An example of a movie being almost good. It almost had a good plot-but didn't do anything with it. And he almost had great action, but didn't have enough of it.

As I see most of the films I watch from a seat in an aircraft cabin, I suppose I should go to a thread called "what films have you slept through recently?"

However, much against my better judgement, I went to see [i:58c07190b5]"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"[/i:58c07190b5] and hated it.

Don't get me wrong, if I hadn't grown up with the books, radio and tv series, then it would have been fine. As it was, it just grated on me.

Much, I suspect, as a Discworld film would, for exactly the same reasons.

Hulk was the last film I saw, it was rubbish even by my standards.

Saw/Rented "Sideways" and "Team America".

Sideways is very good. Deserving of the Oscar nominations.

Team America is a lot of fun. It's so well done. The sexscene is incredibly funny.

Haven't seen any films recently but I'm currently working my way throught the first series of The Water Margin.

The Hulk was wank. Though the directing was the most comic book like. With the spilt screens.

Both Sideways and Team America where great. Though for different reasons!

last film i saw was charlie and the chocolate factory...not only did it cost me £5, it wasn't even that good. It was just a re-make of the old one with a bit more colour.

I saw [i:635a86aaa7]Shall We Dance?[/i:635a86aaa7] last night. It was so utterly horrible that I had to go watch [i:635a86aaa7]Amélie[/i:635a86aaa7] again to cleanse the taint from my mind

I don't see very many movies nowadays, I must admit.

I saw [i:b8a02bb206]Gattaca[/i:b8a02bb206] a few days ago. It was pretty good.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I was cynical about going to see it, but I was quite impressed. It was very much up to date without losing any charm, actually stayed truer to the book than the original and the Oompa Loompas singing was just terrific.

Don't forget PSP. The image quality is great. Only problem there are really only two movie worth watching (so far, anyway): Kung Fu Hustle and Dave Chapel: For What its Worth.
Edit: because the quote feature hates me.

I've been watching a few movies over the weeks.
I loved Charlie and the Chocolate factory, but Johnny Depp was very creepy.
I also saw Wimbledon, which was hilarious.

But I've mostly been watching Broken Saints on the internet. Thank you again for recommending it Rinso. Only one more chapter to go and it's getting very exciting!!

I recently saw Land of the Dead ([i:3ff9cdd8a1]could[/i:3ff9cdd8a1] have been great, but instead was complete rubbish :roll: ) and Wedding Crashers. I LOVED Wedding Crashers, not Oscar material ( ) by any means, but definately worth the money for the ticket...a nice escape for a couple of hours.
