I hope they can bring all of those cast members back.<br /><br />I can't wait to see The Trip to Italy! While the first one isn't remarkable, it's hilarious, and I laugh every time I watch it.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-36524814878119889802014-06-07T02:50:41.421-07:002014-06-07T02:50:41.421-07:00@Ruth: No shame in skipping your recap if you were...@Ruth: No shame in skipping your recap if you were on holiday! Perhaps X-Men DOFP will grow on me over time, at the minute I prefer a few of the other X-Men films in terms of characterization, there were just too many cameos and such in the new movie I thought. Philomena I too enjoyed, Dench was indeed Oscar worthy.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-92163049736989511612014-06-07T02:48:40.143-07:002014-06-07T02:48:40.143-07:00@Dan: The duo have excellent chemistry and the sem...@Dan: The duo have excellent chemistry and the semi-improv is impressive, but yeah, not as groundbreaking as the first season. If they’re going to do a 3rd season, I’d like to see them wait 5-10 years, so that, similar to Before trilogy, they are older and perhaps have a new outlook on life.

Oh I really want to see The Trip! I saw Philomena on the plane which was excellent, interesting to see Coogan in a serious role, but it's all about Judi Dench. Definitely an Oscar-worthy performance.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-52986169734305767722014-06-06T07:23:53.404-07:002014-06-06T07:23:53.404-07:00I enjoyed The Trip to Italy but it wasn't as g...I enjoyed The Trip to Italy but it wasn't as good as the first series in my opinion. Still, I love the impressions but wasn't impressed by the retread of old ground with Coogan's PA and the one-night-stand love interest.

Of the 10 Michael Haneke films I’ve seen, it’s in 10th spot, though: http://letterboxd.com/mas365/list/michael-haneke-ranked/ <br />I liked some things about the new X-Men, also had a few problems.

I felt the tv-version had some weaker moments, which hopefully have been cut out in the shorter movie.<br />Yes, Mark Cousins continues to speak in the same way in this doc, I don’t think he’s able to change. I think he wants his voice to be memorable :)<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-69632735058909591512014-06-02T08:49:56.198-07:002014-06-02T08:49:56.198-07:00'Time of the Wolf' looks quite intriguing....'Time of the Wolf' looks quite intriguing. I will have to find out more about that film. I too didn't really care for the new X-Men film. I know that everyone else loved it, but it was just "ok" for me. It was a little much in some ways. It's like we get it--you're superheroes.<br /><br />Admittedly, my favorite scenes were all about Quicksilver. Evan Peters was fantastic.msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-16832350638312869422014-06-01T22:25:56.881-07:002014-06-01T22:25:56.881-07:00Wasn't aware there was a second season of The ...Wasn't aware there was a second season of The Trip, so will be watching that as I enjoyed the first one. <br /><br />So does Cousins still use the same way of talking for this doc?Nostrahttp://www.myfilmviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-9225827531578063472014-06-01T15:07:07.365-07:002014-06-01T15:07:07.365-07:00Eric @The Warning Sign: I enjoyed the impersonatio...Eric @The Warning Sign: I enjoyed the impersonations a bit more in the first Trip, though the sequel has its moments. It’s not for everyone, listening to those two guys chatting away. For some it becomes tiresome, especially if you don't know all the UK celebs they are impersonating.<br />I would assume the weaker moments from the 3 hour tv-version are edited out of the 2014 108min movie. I probably shouldn’t have watched all 3 hours in the space of 2 days, I’ve read it’s better to watch 30min weekly.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-66967505871308335432014-06-01T15:03:25.413-07:002014-06-01T15:03:25.413-07:00@Andina: I’ll have to check your thoughts on new X...@Andina: I’ll have to check your thoughts on new X-Men, thanks for letting me know.

I know Hollywood movies sometimes lack of originality, especially superheroes. They try hard to be something big and remembered, but lots fail. I was entertained enough, but I've seen better. Nice to see you love the life lesson quote.Andinahttp://www.inspired-ground.comnoreply@blogger.com
