Erm, I'm not taking the poll, cos I have more than one answer. *g*

Attack the Block if you're looking for comedy although there seems to be a lot of love/hate division on it.

Cowboys and Aliens if you want silly entertainment and to ogle Daniel Craig in chaps (it REALLY is an old style western with added aliens and apparently that's bothering some people who love sci-fi but hate westerns).

Crazy Stupid Love if you're feeling the Rom-com urge. I will skip the other two. *g*

From:

Ogling Daniel Craig in chaps does have a certain appeal, I have to say. Plus I love both sci-fi and westerns, so no problems there. Hmmmm...

If you're in the mood to ogle, you can't go wrong with Captain America.
And there's always Steve/Bucky for the slashing.

From:

C&A is worth seeing at a matinee if you want to ogle big-screen Craig and see Ford give a damn about his performance for the first time in a decade, but the script is so painfully bad, I'd recommend seeing it on DVD or streaming before paying large amounts of money for a theatrical viewing.

Captain America is fun, but nowhere near as good as Iron Man. It's the last chapter before the Avengers and serves more as a backstory for him than a stand alone movie in its own right. But I kind of <3 whats-her-name the agent. Oh, and Tommy Lee Jones steals every scene he's in and is awesome to watch.

Haven't seen Attack the Block yet. Not sure if it's playing here. :-( Might have to go to SF to see it.

From:

I can't really endorse it as a film... but it's enjoyable anyway. *g*

From:

I have to say, Chris Evans does nothing for me. (My taste in men is, shall we say, weird, and does not extend to clean cut American boys.) But the trailer looked unexpectedly fun. Slash potential is always good, and I have to say that Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull would be a bonus.

From:

Hmm, I'm back to wavering again. (This would be so much easier if there was something I was passionate about seeing.)

From:

I'm glad to hear Ford finally gave a damn about his performance. I gave up on him shortly after Frantic, and that was, dear god, 1988. I actively rooted against him in the Jack Ryan role, especially when he went up against the Bean in Patriot Games. But yes, perhaps I can wait for C&A to show up on the movie network.

I wasn't particularly keen on Captain America, but the trailer looks like much more fun than I was expecting.

I have to say, the thick south London accents of Attack the Block are starting to sound good again.

From:

I know the feeling. There's always a lot of negotiating going on with my friends most weekends. *g*

I've shied away from Captain America because Evans does nothing for me... and, well, neither does Captain America. I like my comic book heroes more flawed and a lot less "super." In other words, Batman, Iron Man, Wolverine and the lads rather than Superman and Captain America.

Oh, and LJ isn't delivering notifications, at least to me. *sigh*

From:

There are times when there's way too much I want to see. This is not one of those times. At least I have the film fest to look forward to.

I'm pretty much with you on the superhero thing, and Evans. Batman was always my fave, along with Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Superman and his ilk bore me rigid.

Oh, and LJ isn't delivering notifications, at least to me. *sigh*

It's not just you. ::kicks LJ::

From:

The best reviews of C&A other than "cowboys and aliens blow up and that is awesome" is "omg, [the director] got Harrison Ford to care!" He does a pretty good job with what he's given, but unfortunately what everyone is given is...nothing. It's a script with 13 writers and only 5ish credited so...yeah, no one figured out how to make it work. They tried to mash "man of cool" with "man with no memory" and it fails because they're antithetical in approach and script/story needs.

CA is fun, but it's very...clean, I suppose. Not much darkness or depth and kind of shiny in its looks. But I like 1940s fashion and style and hey, I didn't have to pay for the ticket.

Is "Tree of Life" playing near you?

From:

Tree of Life is playing here, and it's one I really want to see, but the times for it just don't work for me. (I have to do fun stuff afterwards like taking the car in for an oil change and packing up for a visit to my mom's, and the first Tree of Life screening I could get to doesn't end until after 11.)

I'm seriously tempted to go see The Trip, which is at a great time, and five minutes walk from my office, but I saw, and loved, it at the film fest last year and it seems a waste to take a rare visit to a theatre for a film I've already seen.

Yep, I'm still indecisive.

Saw Captain America yesterday with my son and were were unexpectedly pleased by it. They did a nice job of gently mocking it's uberpatriotic origin story and made Cap quite sympathetic. Also good eye-candy in several roles (Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Dominick Purcell as Howard Stark, and Neal McDonough as Tim Duggan) and much scenery chewing courtesy of Hugo Weaving. :D We really loved the art direction- they did a wonderful job of making it look and feel like the 1940s. Better than XMFC did looking like the '60's, that's for sure.

From:

Ha, I am queen of indecisiveness as well.

I want to see "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" even though it's not as well-done as it could be, just for the femme!slash potential. I will make a fandom appear around it if I have to.

Ooh, "Life, Above All" is playing here! Want! Must see!

From:

...I think I've spent about ten minutes O_O at your icon.

From:

I couldn't stop giggling well, after the 0_0, so I had to have it. FTR, I don't even like Spiderman.

From:

It's so...suggestive.

From:

That might be part of why it amuses me so much... might be. *whistles*

Although I can actually hear this in my head:

which I find a lot more disturbing. My parents were tragically hip.

From:

Neal McDonough! Okay, that just gave me a reason to move this into a much higher priority for viewing. That and the art direction. Shall have to see it on my next night out.

I have to wait for DVD for most films due to awkward combination of most of my RL friends being utter fail at cinema (they will see Harry Potter and Twilight and Pixar stuff. THIS IS IT. Occasionally I use my powers of persuasion and trick people into things 'oh but 'Defiance' has Daniel Craig and Jamie Bell in, you like them, I'm sure it won't have all that much shooting in it really...' or 'but 'The Eagle' has Channing Tatum in it, so clearly it's basically 'Step Up' in Roman times...') AND the fact that sitting in the cinema is now generally too painful unless the film is so damn awesome that pain matters not (this is a good acid test of films, actually. X-Men did not pass)

So whilst I want to see Captain America and C&A, I reckon I'll be waiting on the DVDs cos neither sounds quite good *enough*. I am very much looking forward to 'Project Nim' and 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' though which I am determined to see as soon as possible *g*

From:

I used to see everything in the theatre, and I do mean everything. (The Sweetie and I hooked up in part because we were both at the local Cinematheque for every screening of a Jean-Pierre Melville retrospective. We tell everyone that French gangster films brought us together.) But the onset of arthritis in my back made double bills tough. And with Ros, I get out at most once a week, and then not always to films, so there are a growing number of films that I would totally have seen in the last five years that I just haven't.

Go you for your massive powers of persuasion. Especially convincing people that Defiance didn't have *that* much shooting. And I love the thought of The Eagle as Step Up in Roman times.

I have a feeling I'll be seeing Captain American and C&A on the movie network, because, yeah, they don't sound fab. The Sweetie saw Project Nim recently and says it's very interesting.

The various ventures to attempt to communicate with primates was a topic I was very interested in when I was about 12, and I think Project Nim is going to break my heart (it had already been massively discredited when I was reading about this stuff and barely got a mention in the books I read except as an example of how not to do it), that's why I need to see 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' - because it's a fantasy narrative of a somewhat similar case where the ape ends up TAKING OVER THE DAMN PLANET and that will make me feel better *nods*

Randomly, did you ever see this post I did? (http://takethatslash.livejournal.com/24527.html) - I mention it because of the pictures (I'm currently trying to get together a birthday fic and seeking inspiration and found it)
