what makes you decide to go and watch a movie???..is it the actors in it or the director that directed it or the writer that wrote it..or could it be the reviews it's received,or did a friend go and see it and recommend it to you,or was it the story line that interested you.......is there any films out at the min that you would go see again or was it overhyped and was totally crap.
for my two penny worth,i heard war of the worlds(tom cruise) was crap,went to see it(open minded)and thoroughly enjoyed it,on the other hand mrs c went to see moulin rouge(highly recommened)and hated it...she also went to see jurassic park because steven speilberg directed it and was told you have to see did and loved it.(not to sure bout the follow ups tho)
Just going to prove that what one person likes another person hates and visa versa..
the poster and the strapline...
Im a sucker for a good poster!
but dont do cinema, cant think why, must change that, and usually wait for dvd, if memory lasts that long.

Never go by the reviews - if you fancy it give it a go. I tend to go for directors or actors I like or just a great story.
Mind you I like all that arty foreign stuff - subtitles y'know.
Lost in translation got great reviews but i thought it was pretty mince.
There are actors and actress's who you know that when they are in a film it is going to be pretty good eg Jack Nicholson, De Niro, Pacino etc
Some direstors are the same such as the Coen brothers whomade The Big Lebowski, Fargo.
Im still a sucker for the horror films though redface
Cannon & Ball "The Boys in Blue". Comedy classic -check it out.
Arf!
Hot fuzz is a film I've seen recently. Favourite quote: "If you want to be a big cop in a small town, fuck off down the Model village!" :giggle:

Now I (miss cream) dont fancy that but then again, I didnt fancy pearl harbour and loved that,is hot fuzz any good?
Hot Fuzz looks hilarious....I thought Shawn of the Dead was pretty good aswell.
The Departed, Blood Diamond and Last King of Scotland are thebest films ive seen recently.
Hmm, thats a toughie. It will usually be a combination of reviews and time.
Reviews, Time, and Johnny Depp.

Seriously, I don't "do" chick flicks & schmaltz. Just got "happy feet" as an easter treat for the kids thinking, yeah, Robin Williams- should be OK.
Within seconds of the phrase "every penguin needs a heart song" I was leant over the back of the sofa making wretching sounds confused
Always try and pick a film that will make use of the cinema like at the moment we want to see Mr Bean goes on holiday but may as well see that on DVD. Maybe Sunshine is a film we will go to the cinema to see.
Cheers
we go to the cinema once or twice aweek....have a cinema subscription..i pay a month and can see as many as i like....after sex...the cinema is my next favourite pastime.
I don't go to the pictures often as its so terribly expensive and usually wait for the DVD to come out. Did go when my youngest son worked for Warners and he used to get free tickets as part of his pay though.
I like the soppy sentimental ones,(Calendar Girls, Bridget Jones's Diary) humorous films that aren't too silly,(loved Tom Hanks in The Terminal) and Sci Fi mostly but I have been known to go to something if the reviews are good just to see what all the fuss is about.

I understand that!
when Titanic came out...>how many eons ago was that?< lp thought to himself "hmm, good special effects, that sinkin boat'll look good on a big screen..." I never made it to the cinema though... and then whatever that theme tune/love song was from the film, playing everywhere...allll the time, quite drove me nuts!
eventually the film came on tele... "ok, think I'll give it a beam, seeing as it's on"...
tosh!

Now I (miss cream) dont fancy that but then again, I didnt fancy pearl harbour and loved that,is hot fuzz any good?cany funny not the best but ok.i like war films ,been watching a dvd box set called "over there" about american troops in iraq and how they cope and how there familys cope back home was brill. to watch a film i dont go by reveiws ,done that b4 and when its come out on dvd ended up being good.i enjoyed war of the worlds,but i dont go for films because of the actors .on watching rome the series now that good to.
Its got to have a good plot line for me (mr SRNE) but for miss SRNE a hunky male lead usually does the trick, we generally like different films so one of us has to bear with it for the others sake, but we know when its a really good movie cos we both really like it, the last samurai is one such, a hunky male lead for the missus, a good story line and some great action for me, an some other bits in the middle for both!!
we tend to find tho that really good trailers tend to have all the best bits from the film in them and when u go to see them the rest is fairly poor and only the bits you saw on the trailer are any good! or is that just us??
I lived almost next door to a cinema for a while. I often went there on the cheap nights. It became a habit, as I didn't mind what film they showed. It was easier to fall into the whole hype and hunger thing, because the cinema was next door and cheap. So I was happy to believe in the trailers and look forward to the next film. Nowadays I rarely get to see a new movie on screen.

I never listen to anyone elses views on a film, I prefer to make up my own mind.
I am a sucker for going to see sequels, even though sometimes you know they wont be as good as the first.
It doesnt bother me as such whos in the film but I do prefer if the actors are more well known.
Currently the major contributing factor to me going to see a film lately is when the kids are desperate to see a film. So I end up seeing loads of kids films. I do enjoy them though redface
I cant wait for the new Harry Potter film to come out. They are a series of films that have just got better and better.

Quite often the actors for me but still depends on the type of film.
I'm a great lover of John Travolta but didn't enjoy Face. I'm really really looking forward to his new film out shortly, it's a comedy about a load of bikers but looks great!.
I'm still a lover of the girly chick flick tho! wink
