What is the last movie you watched?

The Drop

Brilliant film, big fan of Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini and this certainly didn't disappoint.

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves - Still a classic ha!

[Robert DuTrot]

Sin City 2

Good movie, not as good as the first. But a lot better than the last few films he made

[Bruno]

Very enjoyable little film, perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon.

Dumb and dumber to

I really shouldn't have laughed as much as I did while watching this but I thought it was very funny, stupid but I couldn't help laughing my head off at some bits

Gave Godfather III another watch cos it was on Channel 4 (UK hype)and to be fair it wasn't as bad as I thought it was a couple of years ago. Al Pacino was good, obviously.....trying to think of other things But nah it's not too bad, but it still racks my brain that there was a Godfather movie that revolved around a 600 million dollar deal with the Vatican.

White bird in a Blizzard

Seriously, is the entire cast bored? Even Chris Meloni's gay scene looks like a zombie gay porn film.

American Sniper

Brilliant film, not Bradley Coopers biggest fan but he was great in this. Thought the ending was disappointing and had to have a Google around to see what actually happened then I suppose it was the only way it could have been done.

Got the Gambler to watch later!

I really wish the producers would quit posturing this film up as some sort of historical masterpiece that shows us what war is really like through the eyes of a "legend". It is full of terrible fallacy and some blatant fantasy as well. The book it is based on has serious errors in it, and then the film makers took even further "liberties" with the material.

I find it sad when a film based on historical occurrences has to create sensationalism instead of giving it to us straight. Some embellishing is bound to occur, but this film doesn't even get some of the simple fact of the book right at all.

Most "true" story films are like this to make the film more appealing to the audience. I have a habit of watching films then reading the book and you realise just how much gets twisted or left out. I don't plan to read the book on this as I don't find reading about someone who has killed the amount of people he had to be that interesting. Surely if the true events are that far from the truth his family wouldn't have allowed it to be made?

As a simple reference of the difference in the film from the book... the opening scene involving the woman and the child. In the book there is no child mentioned in this scene at all. To me a change of that nature is completely unnecessary.
