I've seen them all too :smile1: (except boring sh*t like 'American Horror History', 'Homeland', 'Revenge', 'Necessary Roughness' and 'Boss') I didn't like 'Downton Abbey' as much as you do though.
I've seen every movie on that list too :smile1: (except 'In the Land of Blood and Honey', 'The Guard' and 'W.E.' but they don't look good so IDGAF).

I went to a private screening of "Blood and Honey" about a month ago and it was super intense. Some people actually got up and left because they couldn't handle it.

This thread has picked up steam :D

Irish actor Michael Fassbender snagged best actor for his work in four films this awards season: A Dangerous Method, Jane Eyre, Shame, and X-Men First Class.

But it is Shame, which explores the disintegrating life of a sex addict, that has critics and audiences alike talking. Fassbender also won the Critics' Choice Award for best actor earlier in the week. He is up for a Golden Globe this weekend.

Fassbender said he did not find it difficult to switch between parts in rapid succession in the films he completed months ago.

"Now is a different time for me. My work is really eight months ago on Shame, Dangerous Method, whatever that was -- 15 months ago. So, you know, I really concentrate very intensely at the time on what I'm doing. And so I wash away one from the next.

"I don't preference. I just sort of do the best that I can to tell the story. So I keep it that simple. So, when it comes out now, it's like, well, I don't know, there's not a lot for me to really say, or do. Because it's like it's open. The public really sees it and they take what they want from it."

The Guard is brills! Do give it a shot one of these days, bc Gleeson is as good as it gets. I need a second viewing though, with subtitles, since the brogue is soooo thick. And wow, lucky you for having seen all the movies, didn't think that they all came out in France already!

I have to catch up bc there are tons in that list I have not yet seen, but to be honest I can't be bothered with J. Edgar, Albert Nobbs, Week with Marilyn or War Horse. Looks too dullard! And am not sure W.E. is on anyone's radar either, hehe. Poor Riseborough, bc i am persuaded that in a few years' time she will dominate the scene as a future Streep. Anyone else think she would have nailed Keira's part in Dangerous Method?

The Guard is brilliant! Brendan Gleeson is fabulous as a corrupt policeman. It's really funny, but you need to watch it with subtitles because the West Irish accent is super thick.

Oops twin posts. ;)
I've heard some nasty stuff about Riseborough. Some people find her horrible to work with. Don't know if it's true, but I do know she was really good in the Devil's Whore. I actually think that Keira is good in ADM, it's just those first scenes with the hysterics that sucked big time. To be honest, Cronenberg is as much to blame for that as Knightly.

So yesterday I made the mistake of buying Dante's Cove at the 2nd hand shop. I thought it would be a bit like the L-Word meets Charmed. It's NOT. Words can't describe the utter ridiculousness of this POS.

Then out of the blue, who do I spot butt naked on a bed with a guy on top of her? ROC! I think she's only in one other scene in which she has 1 line.

I guess as a professional thespian she and Fassy had lots in common. It now makes sense that they had a meaningful relationship together topped of with a restraining order. Not to mention the fact that he claims to hate plastic surgery and this woman looks plastic fantastic. WTF was he thinking or better yet with what body part was he thinking? :laugh:

I'm not surprised about the Riseborough rumors/anecdotes because you can sense her standoffishness just in regular interview. Romola Garai gave off similar vibes circa Atonement, but I don't know if it's toned down since, or if I'm simply mistaking being opinionated with haughtiness. But, alas, good acting is good acting and I tip my hat off to them, as I do with James Franco and Sean Penn.

I googled Dante's Cove and description of it sounds so bad that I'm surprised how it filmed in the first place. :laugh: I didn't bother to open the link to read the rest. :p

plastic fantastic :lolots:

Look, Michael had a taste of plastic surgery and maybe decided to avoid it in future. :p Besides a lot of men think with their smaller head and start to regret the choice when they start to use bigger head.

I didn't thought 'The Guard' sucked I just didn't have time to watch this one before, make no mistake I love Gleeson's work too. I thought he was awesome in 'Gangs of New York', 'Cold Mountain', 'In Bruges' and 'Albert Nobbs' and I look forward to his directorial debut with 'At Swim-Two-Birds' adaptation.
In fact I'm going to watch 'The Guard' right now so thank you for the heads up :smile1:


About 'W.E.' I think it's probably the sh*ttiest movie ever made (after 'Glitter') I refuse to kiss Madonna's a$$ by seeing it she should stick to music only and nothing else, ever again. I saw her on Graham Norton on Friday and she came across as a total b*tch: she was obnoxious, dismissive and mean with her own fans (Italian doll-makers), Graham himself and even the guy playing the king in her film (James D'Arcy) and she politely dissed Lady Gaga's work to make herself look good and relevant, the whole show seemed scripted to me (poor Graham). Plus she looked like an old hamster with too much plastic surgery done to her face, Joan Rivers and Nicole Kidman would look natural next to her :laugh:

Overall, Keira isn't bad but jaw acting was seriously over the top. That and serious lack of chemistry ruined ADM for me. Claire Danes could give her a lesson or two.

I had no idea Andrea was perceived as stand-offish. To me, she looks guarded when it comes to press and lime lights. But I'm not surprised to hear she might be difficult to work with. She gives off intense vibe when it comes to her work. If she were a male, no one would make a fuss about it. Same with Romola Garai.

However, I'm a bit biased when it comes to both of them because I like them a lot both onscreen and offscreen. :cool:

Not only Madonna is really bad when it comes to all aspects of film making, she is basically forging historcal facts when it comes to Wallis and Edward. It's well documented that they supported Nazi establishment in one way or another.

Madonna's face should be an advert for how NOT to look like after cosmetic surgery. Seriously, that woman is in serious denial about her age and it's really sad to watch women like her. She's like 50-something starter-wife, willing to do anything to keep her husband and it doesn't matter if she's making fool out of herself. :tdown:

And W.E just looks like a film to make us feel bad for the affair between the prince (and whats her name?)

Wallis Simpson :smile1:
She was an American socialite whose third husband, Prince Edward Duke of Windsor formerly King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom and the Dominions, abdicated his throne in 1936 to marry her.


Boring film, boring story, boring actors, awful director (see it for the score maybe) :throwup:
