The New Official Movie Thread

[Minty]

What can I say, the telly was that poo! Thought I may as well see what all the fuss was about.

I couldn't believe how bad they were, especially considering Christopher Columbus (director of the first two Harry Potter movies) was behind them. There was nothing approaching a plausible plot. Both from start to finish seemed only vehicles for one set of special effects after another.

I'm currently watching "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". It's done in that bleak realistic style they redid "True Grit" in. It's all a bit flat. I like the way they've got James down as the vicious thug he was rather than the American Robin Hood lie often peddled, but the whole thing is so depressing.

Meh, I'm getting old. I expect movies to have a plot.
