bigbadwolf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I saw Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino last night. He obviously drew on his performance of William Munny from Unforgiven but it was excellent none the less.

???? Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great film MP - fantastic. I love the bit where famous northern actor (name escapes me) tells posh rat friend (is it one of the Foxes?) how it's all going to change back home - a fantastic mix of the idealism and chippiness of socialism all rolled up into one...Sorry about the name thing I'm crap with actors Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2025-edf-cinema/page/14/#findComment-218706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockney piers Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yes, wasn't it Tom Courtenay, post Billy Liar I guess, and a staggeringly young James Fox. So many great themes in that film, all wrapped up in a thoroughly entertaining package. An underated classic methinks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2025-edf-cinema/page/14/#findComment-218790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was curiously uplifting despite its bleak portrayal of gang culture , and had a nice sardonic undertone.Well worth viewing.

Jeremy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 This week I have watched Ong Bak, Let The Right One In, and JCVD. All were entertaining for their own reasons...

bigbadwolf Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I saw Ong Bak last month Jezza, the best bit was at the beginning when they had to race to the top of the tree. The Japanese girl was very tidy but got annoying after a while.....still 'would' though.

bigbadwolf Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Quite right Jezza, my mistake.....still would though, wouldn't you?I saw Steven Soderbergh's Che with Benicio del Toro and Franke Potente and it was gash from start to finish. A very messy and confusing plot. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2025-edf-cinema/page/14/#findComment-220329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSetWilly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Watched Gran Torino last night as well. Cracking show with Clint as his grumpy best, some genuinely laugh out loud moments, and an ending as far away as possible from the one you,re expecting. Very highly recommended.

citizenED Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Got to see "Inside I'm Dancing" last night. It's good in a soft/serious way - I'd recommend. James McAvoy into the bargain. But he's in everything at the minute. Like Clive bloody Owen, both as endemic as swine flu Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2025-edf-cinema/page/14/#findComment-228803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 After rave and fawning media reviews, took myself and the missus off to the Ritzy last night to see 35 Shots of Rum, the latest effort from French legend Claire Denis.I've never seen any of her other work so had little idea what to expect.It is two hours of my life I shall never get back. Boring, pretentious French existentialist twaddle. Epically long silences and lots of meaningful stares failed miserably to compensate for 2-D characters, little plot and unrealistic dialogue. Avoid.

Keef Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Don't you just love French cinema! Sometimes they get it so right, but all too often, you get something like you describe.

david_carnell Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Strangely, there was an article in the Guardian Film & Music today deriding films that critics love but are, in actual fact, a load of cock.
