Help me flist, you're my only hope

[przed]

I've got an unexpected few hours free and am toying with seeing an early film after work. But as there's nothing in my list I'm dying to see, I'm suffering from chronic indecision.

So what do y'all think?

[Poll #1767039]

I'm leaning slightly towards Attack the Block, since the chances of it hanging around are considerably slimmer than for any of the other films, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

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*

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.

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.

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.

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*
