Community Film club: Are you a film buff?

[Toby]

Hi guys,

You may recall the great 'Saturday night film club' formed by our very own Liquid a few weeks back.

Are you a film buff? Do you like discussion performances, themes and symbolism in your movies? Or you do just enjoy exploding robots? Sound off below and get involved!

This week we have a wide choice, and I have highlighted a few below, but feel free to post your suggestions, the more variety the better and it doesn't not matter on the day, we film buffs will watch a great movie any time. Also, are these films worth watching? Post your reviews

1). Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Directed by Martin Mcquand

Sat 10th Nov. 14:45-17:20 on ITV1  

 The classic trilogy concludes. It caters to all of your Sci-fi needs; Tiny bears, uncomfortable family interaction and space battles. What  more do you need?

- David Lynch turned down the chance to direct this movie

- The biggest grossing film of 1983

- Kenny Baker, who played R2 D2 also played an Ewok named Paploo.

 2). The Polar Express

Directed by Robert Zemeckis

Sat 10th Nov. 17:55-19:50 on ITV2 

 The acclaimed director of Back to the Future bring us his first effort using performance capture and a great multi-performance from the great Tom Hanks. If you can get past the strange eyes on each character, this is an enchanting little movie that may get you in a slightly festive mood

- The main character's (the boy) name is never mentioned 

- All the train tickets in the film have the number 1225 on them; Christmas day

3). Valkyrie

Directed by Bryan Singer

Sun 11th Nov. 21:00-23:25 on Five 

The untold story of an assassination plot on Adolf Hitler by the men in his command. A wonderful cast from both sides of the pond. Even though the outcome is predictable, it is a very riveting watch.

- Many scenes were re-shot because a large part of the film reel was destroyed by spilled chemicals.

- 3 of the cast members also starred in the German film d\Downfall, chronicalling the last days of Adolf Hilter's life

They have said that batman reboot is on the way but it won't be as realistic as the Nolan trilogy

i LOVE batman, but i think it has been done to death now, why not use the publics love of superheroes and get more films of other characters out there?

[Anonymous]

i agree no more batman for at least 30 years, try another green lantern or actually go out & make a film of wonder woman or the flash instead of just saying they will

[Anonymous]

yes, i didnt think Ryan Reynolds did a bad job as Hal, but i think theres a market for Flash, all thatnks to Sheldon Cooper XD

[Anonymous]

they have green lighted a sequel for green lantern but whether it will be a sequel or reboot is anyones guess, hardcore fans moaned that it wasnt serious enough but i heard that it was supposed to take itself not too serious like the same way the chris reeve superman wasnt serious, as per reason casting ryan reynolds

[Anonymous]

it wasnt supposed to be hardcore to the fans, more like a gentle introduction, but it was good  

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]
