Anyone else seen Gone Girl? I really enjoyed it. And won't post much as I don't want to spoil anything</p></blockquote>
<br>
Yeah really enjoyed it , there's a bit of discussion about it on the previous page.<br>
Also enjoyed the girl from blurred lines and her two co stars making a cameo appearance. -

<p>Cheers, should have looked there first. Along similar lines, anyone seen Fury yet? I want to go, anyone who has seen it, how does it compare to Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers?</p> -

<p>I shouldbe going to see Fury on Thursday , from what I understand Pitts character is more like Speirs than Winters.</p>

<p>Saw Fury last night. It was good, Pitt flits between Spiers and Winters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rusty: It's a bit more like Saving Private Ryan than BoB. They go on a few missions (as opposed to the one of SPR) and there are a couple of decent battle scenes. One scene was almost like a Tarantino movie. The action scenes are pretty good, they show the tracers which made it look like lasers being shot in the night action.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All the cast were pretty good. It's got Shane from The Walking Dead, playing a similar character, Le Beouf was pretty good, as was the young guy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TBH, it was like a good old fashioned war movie, but with the added realism that is needed in a post SPR and BoB world. </p> -

<p>+1 I was meant to go with Mrs DK last Sunday, but she cried off, I will try and convince her to go tonight, I luv's me a good war movie!!!</p> -
<p>Really enjoyed Interstellar, usual issues with Nolan's films but it gets way more right than wrong. Special effects were epic, Matthew McConaughey is utterly brilliant, and I dunno if I'm getting sappy after having kids but those aspects really effected me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A great modern retake on 2001.</p> -

<p>I thought it was bloody good, aside from the odd occasion where it seemed to be going fully into 2001 mode (slow). I had no idea that the actor playing Dr Mann was playing him so was quite shocked when he turned up. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>McConaughey was good, I agree, but I don't think Chastain suited the younger actress, and TBF I think I'm a bit over her - she doesn't need to be in everything. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm trying to work out if the cinema I saw it in had a bad sound mix or if there were deliberate parts where you're not expected to fully hear conversations - were there bits you couldn't make out?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What are the issues you have with Nolan's films? I only tend to have issues with his films involving a Bat. The Dark Knights are my two least favourite of his films by some margin.</p> -
<p>You mentioned one of them, his sound mixes make it really hard to hear dialogue - but that can be a good thing because he (and his brother) write some real clunkers (Hathaway's love speech is impossible to play for an actor, but she'll get the grief for it). I did like they they went the opposite of Inception this time and tried to answer everything, so at least he doesn't rely on the same tricks each time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Mann casting got me too, nice surprise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regarding the Bat films, only Rises was poor. The Dark Knight is damn near perfect.</p> -
<p>I saw Fury today. Like all of the above, loved it. Pretty damn dark and gritty. One of the better war flicks I have seen in a while.</p>
-
<p>So I watched Noah and Frozen this week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Frozen: was really good, once I got over the shock of it being a musical. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it didn't have the singing, or if I'd known about it going in. But, the fact I still really enjoyed it shows that it's a bloody good movie ... especially as I'm quite wide of the demographic market.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Noah: I'm not to sure about. I thought it was an ok fantasy film (a genre I'm not a huge fan of and I don't consider it a religious film) but just ok.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Meh, Heath Ledger's performance saved that film from being as shitty as Rises IMHO. Batman Begins is my favourite of the trio and is still the start of the bottom 3 of Nolan's films.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've never noticed the sound mixes on Nolan's films before this one ... I suspect that now you've opened my ears up to it, it will be all I can hear. </p> -

<p>How could you not know Frozen was a musical, has a CD, a bunch of rip-off youtube clips of daughters singing it as well as mock versions all over FB? Where do you live again ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Am sure any Ferners will young daughters will attest to the fact that all you hear for months after was Let it go, let it go, belted out in wonderous tones...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought Noah was a bit shit, but then I dont know the bible as well as I thought....</p> -

<p>I don't have any daughters, and my nieces are a bit too old, and I avoid the room where the TV is when my goddaughter watches stuff (flippin Wiggles), so it just went past me. I knew there was a famous song, I just thought it was the theme song, not one of many.</p> -
<p>I'm so glad I have no young female relatives that get anywhere near my TV by the sound of all that.</p>
<p>Hideous, and a good reason for anyone to stop breeding or check the sex of their offspring before making a decision to keep them or send the missus to a hot bath with a bottle of gin.</p>
