Fucking loved it. Was a bit unsure about Urban to start with, but he nailed it. Almost wiped out the memory of that Stallone abomination.

 

Yeah man, I know what you mean.

I loved the film but all the way through I was dreading that awful moment when Dredd kissed Anderson or vice versa and ruined it. Obviously having watched it, it didn't happen because the writer and director knew that Dredd doesn't having feelings and he is the ultimate bad-ass.

 

Urban's chin deserved an oscar, the scenery of Peach Tree's was just amazing as the urban hell of Mega City One, even a lot of the henchmen's hair styles, make-up and dress was true to the comic.

 

Most Dredd comics are short on plot - something happens, Dredd arrives, lots of deadpan and the bad guy dies. This was as close to a Judge Dredd comic as I can imagine.

 

Ma-Ma being a peddler of SLOW-MO made sure that the slow motion violence didn't feel weird and out of place.

 

It was fucking awesome.

The Divide (2011) - 7/10. Bleak, disturbing, and doesn't pull any punches. Perhaps a bit long and doesn't give any explanations of the context.

[Baldi]

Dress awesome hopefully a sequal will be made...love the comic books.

 

Saw Catfish today 7/10 good start...creepy middle ...disappointing end.

[Special K]

Pacific Rim - 6/10

 

Massively disappointing. If Michael Bay had directed this it would have been crucified. Poor acting, bad writing and decent action sequences.

[Mendoza]

The World's End- loads of laughs, 90's nostalgia and a brilliant soundtrack. Maybe not quite as good as Shaun Of The Dead but close. Also a special mention to Pegg, he is absolutely brilliant in this- 8/10.

[zigackly]

Lawless (2012) - 8/10. Slow-burning in places but explosive in others.

[Redder Lurtz]

It's years since I watched the original Star Wars trilogy so decided to watch New Hope last week, followed it with Empire Strikes Back last night which in my opinion is a much better and gritter film. Just brilliant. Return of the Jedi tonight. My fear, though, is that this is only heading in one direction - that I'll have to force myself to endure Phantom Menace again.

[The Golden Eel]

The Killer Inside Me - some pretty rough violence and a decent enough watch, overall not that coherent or engaging though. Casey Affleck good. 6/10

[Scott_M]

Django Unchained - 8/10.

 

Quailty although to ending was a bit unsatisfactory. QT should have figured out how to end it in the shoot-out when Waltz shot Di Caprio instead of tagging another 20 minutes onto it.

 

This Is 40 - 4/10

 

Has some amusing moments but it's way, way, way to long. Comedy's aren't supposed to be 135 minutes. And considering how long it was rung out, there wasn't really an ending.

[Mendoza]

World's Greatest Dad- pretty decent black comedy from Bobcat Goldthwait- 7/10.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Lawless (2012) - 8/10. Slow-burning in places but explosive in others.

 

I saw it at the pics Zig and thought it was cack tbh. Great cast, Nick Cave as screen writer, but just a bit cack really.

 

However, it did turn me onto the phenomenal, and infinitely superior Boardwalk Empire. If you haven't seen BE mate, get on it sharpish.

[Anny Road]

Dredd having never been a comic fan can't compare genres. Not a deep film. Just a gory shootem up. Predicable and nothing new despite the stylised violence. Not bad but not memorable 6.5/10.

You mean we might have different taste in films? Not having that. Otterspool prom, your choice of weapons.

[Mendoza]

Didnt think it was shit, should have been a classic though considering the talent involved.

[Ted]

Shia La Beouf.

[Mendoza]

Shia La Beouf.

 

Yes, with the obvious exception of him.

[Anny Road]

Chronicle. Mildly entertaining nought special 6/10

The Grey. Mildly entertaining nought special 6/10 Good lead role but shit idea.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Only God Forgives: don't know what I was expecting, but wasn't expecting what i seen. Disappointed. 5.5/10

[Anny Road]

Avengers.

Hurrah finally an enjoyable film. Not a classic but entertaining and great fun plus Scarlet 7.35/10

[Phoenix]

Now you see me

7.5/10

 

A lot better than I expected. If you like films with a twist its well worth watching.

[Total Longo]

Bonded By Blood. Woeful "Essex Boy" Brit gangster tosh, i honestly do not know what i was thinking. 2 eggs.

 

End of Watch. Very good, Gyllenhall was brilliant in it, the hard hitting "documentary style" worked really well. 8 eggs.

[polymerpunkah]

The Cheshire Murders

 

HBO doc re triple murder in Connecticut. Very similar to "In Cold Blood".

 

Well-made, disturbing story.

 

There are some sick sick people out there.

 

8/10

[zigackly]

Captain America: The First Avenger - 9/10. Loved it. Which is strange, because I didn't expect to at all. The script isn't great, it's cheesy and a bit shallow, etc. But I loved it.

 

So there.

[Moctezuma]

NO- 8.5/10

 

Gael Garcia Bernal stars as the advertising guru behind the oppositions campaign in the referendum on general Pinochet’s rule in Chile. Excellent performance from the lead and managed to create a deep unease with the way the menace of political violence was shown.

 

Still got the jingle stuck in my head.

[Anny Road]

Submarine.

Watched it based on the reviews on here and though it was very boring.

A few laughs and an obviously not your usual Hollywood drivel but nothing stand out.
