Re: Film - the most recent you have seen?

A few weeks ago downloaded 'We bought a Zoo' and got around to watching last night, excellent film, if a bit shmaltzy (sic.), I love Matt Damon.

Re: Film - the most recent you have seen?

All cinema's so far away I dont bother going, must of been donkey years ... But I watch films on dvd and last night watched Billy Elliot for the second time ... Its odd I remember it being a much better film the first time around.

The Hobbit is being made into a trilogy. The second part The Desolation Of Smaug is due for release early December this year and next year will be There And Back Again.

Re: Film - the most recent you have seen?

I went to the pics yesterday and was bored rigid with Iron Man 3. That little adventure cost me £27 for two seats. I tend not to eat when I go to the pics, because if I did, I would have to remortgage my house. £5.75 for a hotdog, £7 for a bag of popcorn, £3.20 for a bag of pick-and-mix sweets and the wife paid £2.50 for a small Coke, which was both flat and warm. Not forgetting £2.50 for a small scoop of ice cream.

And then Cinema chains complain about people not going to the cinema anymore.

Re: Film - the most recent you have seen?

Went a couple of months ago to see Quartet. That was the first time in years. It was a very good film though. I read the other day that Billy Connoly has admitted that his memory is getting very poor and he has a job to remember lines. Never been a great fan of his but thought he was very good in this film.

Most recent was The Hobbit (part one). Also rented Disney's The Sword in the Stone to enjoy with my grandson.

Never been game to watch the Lord of the Rings movies because I enjoyed the book so much.

I read it in 1972 and haven't since but terrified to see the films in case they spoil it. I can only think of one film that was better than the book - Atonement - the film was excellent, the book mediocre. I guess that is the exception that proves the rule.

The Hobbit I am not so fussed about it was, after all, a relatively short children's book, making it in several parts sounds like they are rather over egging the pudding..

Me too, and loved it. Well worth seeing.

We go to our local arts cinema quite a lot as it has a really good coffee shop, cafe and book shop attached and you can take in wine or hot drinks. Planning to go and se 'Haute Cuisine' soon, a French film about the woman who was asked to cook for Mitterand.

That's what puts me off - scandalous overpricing of pretty much everything and then you have to put up with everyone else's munching and noise (my munching and noise are fine). I don't find the seating comfortable either and end up, usually, with a numb bum and then I start fidgeting. The last film I saw at the pictures was The Full Monty (absolutely loved it) but again, everyone crammed into a small space and that spoiled it. What made it more amusing were the two nuns sitting in front of us and that fascinated me as much as the film did
