What Films Have You Seen Recently?

I just watched the Top Cat movie, and it's terrible. I've only seen a couple of episodes of the cartoon so don't have any reference points, but found this to be a humourless and utterly tedious film which had me board before the half-hour mark, so the 90 minutes really dragged.

I'm just grateful it was a rental from Lovefilm and not a blind buy.

Got any kiddie's? My brother and sister insisted on watching it the other night. Can't remember the last time I actualy shed a tear in boardem. Watched Hardware to make me feel better.

With all due respect, Nos, if you don't have children, what possessed you?

If you do have children, you have not bought them up correctly!

Well, here we are 2 hours later and I can honestly say with all my heart that it is without a doubt the biggest pile of shite I've watched in a very long time! Even the score from Morricone couldn't save this from being a complete waste of two hours of my life, the best thing about it was the 15 minute snooze it enforced on me during the midway mark! It's now back in it's place in between two classics, never to be taken out of the box again!

I can see why people threw things at the screen when this film opened because I was finding it extremely difficult not to rush over and kick the **** out of my TV

Whenever anyone asks me what my favourite film is I often struggle to answer it because there are so many! However, whenever someone asks me what my worst film is, Exorcist II makes it very high on my list.

Just finished watching Session 9. I really enjoyed it. Very creepy. I will have to watch it again sometime to make sense of the last fifteen minutes.

Must admit that I am glad I have seen 'Exorcist 2: The Heretic"

It has been ticked off in the Leonard Maltin book, and now I never have to watch it again!

No, no children. I probably added to my rental list because I've seen the advert for subtitles and audio descriptive facilities in cinemas loads of times and wanted to say the full film.

If I did have children, I'd buy the box set of the original cartoons, currently retailing at just over nine quid and let them watch those.

Recent viewings:



I'm doing a 'no re-watch November' at the moment, where every film I watch is something that I've never seen before. So, everything after Rasputin was completely new to me.

You hadn't seen The Gold Rush or Triangle before?

Nope. Aside from The Great Dictator, I hadn't seen any of Chaplin's films.

Triangle was a real surprise, as I had put off seeing it mainly because I couldn't stand Christopher Smith's earlier film, Creep. I thought Triangle was excellent, however (although I can this initial reaction being diluted on re-watches).
