[john]

Watched Cabin In The Woods last night, that is one I won't be watching again. one of those films you don't know what is happening until the end.

[Marian]

... and then you think, thank God that's over!

[john]

You've got it in one, Marian.

[Eman]

Cabin In The Woods, John, I agree with you!!! That's one of those seen it once, and that's all I need to see type movies.
Been watching a blu-ray of the documentary "Produced by George Martin". I was hoping he'd mention our Matt, and I believe he did, but one thing I know for sure, the first song they played when they showed George Martin and his wife driving around was "Portrait Of My Love". I thought that was awesome!!

I saw a film called "Serendipity" last night, that I had copied from the tv--starring Kate Beckinsale.

It was such a lovely , sweet, romantic, funny film, but interesting, because they split up, then tried to get back together, but kept missing each other---until the end---where they met up in New York, on a skating rink, at night--no-one else around--just the snow drifting down gently, as they skated together. .

That is my kind of film.

Watched the first part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy - The Fellowship of the Ring tonight

I have never seen Serendipity, Marian.
I am glad you liked it.

I went to see The Sweeney at the cinema last night.
What a load of rubbish!
Sounds like I should of watched Serendipity instead.

[Sandra]

I agree Marian,Serendipity was a lovely film.

I am sorry that The Sweeney didn't live up to expectations Gray especially with The great Ray Winstone it it.
Myself and two more lady friends of a certain age had the same experience this week with Hope Springs starring our favourite Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones.
Mildly amusing.A few people walked out.Certainly not a 'mans film' and only probably for the female population over 40

[Marian]

We nearly went to see 'Hope Springs' this week Sandra, when our electricity off for most of the day, but I read a few reviews and decided against it! Glad we did .

[Gray]

Hi Sandra, Hope Springs has two great leading actors in Streep & Jones, what a shame it didn't live up to expectations.

I wonder if anyone else on the forum has ever walked out of a film in the cinema?
If you have, could you let us know please?
Thank you!

[Sandra]

Many,many years ago Gray-1965 actually!We went to the cinema weekly then ,and saw a film called THE LOVED ONE with Rod Steiger and yes-Liberace.
It was a black comedy set in a pet cemetary in California.If it was a black comedy we didn't get it and walked out halfway through.It has stayed in my mind to this day

[Gray]

Sandra, I have got to see this film!
I have never heard of it...Rod Steiger and Liberace!!!!? Are you sure this isn't a dream!?

I must try and track it down!
Thank you for that

I never waked out if a film myself--but George dd once--the film was "Gold" with Susannah York and Roger Moore--and at the beginning, it was set in a Gold mine, and there was an accident in the mine, and one of the miners got trapped---someone was sent down to help, and the only option was to cut off the Miner's leg---I could feel that George was uneasy next to me--but at this stage he vanished, saying he did not feel well !!!

[Gray]

Would you believe I watched 'Gold' on dvd about a week ago, Marian!
The scene you refer to is very intense so I can understand how George felt!

Thank you for sharing that.
