Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

I have watched it twice today as my little girl is obsessed with it. Its a good film to be fair though.

Can't disagree. Even the boy sings along. At 14 months he doesn't know better yet.

Under The Skin- Scarlett Johansson gets all her bits out. What else can i say about the film? Oh yeah, its a steaming pile of dull, pretentious SHITE. Wait for the nude scenes to surface online and save yourself a tenner and two hours of complete fucking torture- 2/10.

Any good clunge shots?

[Mendoza]

It's not worth it, it's just not worth it. I don't even know what i just watched, makes Only God Forgives seem coherent. 

[General Dryness]

Even the nudity makes it not worth it? Thats a bad film right there. Have a sit down and cup of tea and think of The Shawshank Redemption or A Few Good Men. You'll feel better in no time.

[Mendoza]

I'm sure some people will love it. Maybe i'm just a shallow thicko. Maybe it is a searing commentary on the emptiness of consumerism and what it means to be a woman in an uncaring, capitalist socie... OH FUCK OFF.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

 

Very, very Wes Anderson but I reckon that this probably has more going for it to a casual film fan than a some of his stuff. The plot is coherent and makes sense, the storytelling is excellent and the lines and characters are typically brilliant. Fiennes really needs to keep doing comedy because he's absolutely wicked at it. His delivery of some of the best lines is just wonderful.

 

See it.

 

8.5/10

I fell asleep during this!

4/10

The Angels Share - 8 whiskeys out of 10 fackin cunt-ye's

 

Never heard of this but stumbled upon it on LoveFilm. What a great little British Indie movie - Set in Glasgow about a young lid who starts turning things around while on community service, and then plots a major rare whiskey heist in Edinburgh. Gritty, realistic, funny and just a great little story. Recommend.

 

 

Everybody's Fine - 7/10

 

A rare decent outing for De Niro for recent times in which he's done some real average stuff.

Nice little drama about an over bearing father who never sees his grown up kids so decides, after the passing of his wife to embark on a trip across the country to catch up and the surprises at what he finds. Good stuff, the ending even brought a tear to my eye.

The Last Temptaion of Christ is probs one of my favourite 10 films ever, better even than Kazantzakis' incredible book.

 

I think Scorcese actually trimmed a lot of the fat and excess baggage away from the novel, and along with Keitel's sublime Bronx Judas (!) and the breath taking final act itself, turned in a completely underrated masterpiece,

 

If the religious zealots had actually been arsed to watch The Last Temptation to it's conclusion then they might have realised that Kazantzakis' (and Scorcese's) Christ has more faith, love and passion than their "own" insular pre-concept.

Agree with you mate about the last temptation of christ. Stunning film throughout and very underated. One of my fav films of all time and a masterpiece like you say.

Filth - thought this was quite good. Quite surreal in parts, the hallucination bits. Thought McAvoy was great in it, he played the character just as I pictured when reading the book. I'd say 6.8 out of 10.

 

Anchorman 2 - seemed really long. Dragged in parts a few really funny bits, but they stand out against a lot of bum jokes and regurgitated jokes from the first film. Plus, the bits with Brick and his girlfriend where ridiculously unfunny. Just wanted them to stop, after a while. Quite a poor effort all round. Bit of a damp squid! 4 out of 10.

Were you on tender hooks? For all intensive purposes, you were probably looking for an escape goat. I'll just bare with you for now.

Watched two movies which both use cgi to the extreme. First up was Hercules the Legend and then 300:Rise of a Empire.Hercules made bad use of of the cgi in quite alot of the film and it stuck out alot. 300 rise made great use of the cgi throughout the film.Story wise again rise cameout on top.

 

Hercules 4/10

300 rise of a empire 7/10

[Lee909]

Captain America Winter Soldier

 

If you liked the first one you'll enjoy it. Out of all the Marvel films outside the first Iron Man I think Cps are the best.

 

A solid 8.5 shields out of 10

 

 

Im easily pleased mind

[polymerpunkah]

Lincoln

 

7 of 10

 

I don't think it's possible to isolate a single narrative thread that has all the elements of a great movie. The story of his life and times is too complex, and too well known.

 

But I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

[Mendoza]

Kill Your Darlings- manages to make an interesting real life story drab and boring- 4/10. 

[Cardie]

Winter Soldier - 7.5/10

 

Struck me during the film that Marvel are have been given a very very easy ride so far given the quality of films they've churned out. Of the films seen during Phase 1 and Phase 2 the only ones that have been good are

 

Iron Man 1

Captain America - First Avenger

Captain America - Winter Soldier

Avengers Assemble.

 

Thor 1 straddles the fence

 

Iron Man 2 and 3 were shit, Hulk deserved better, Thor 2 was average,

I really liked Iron Man 3 but thought the Thor films were Nah...albeit I'm not into Thor at all.

Now then, nip that in the butt.

The remake of Total Recall.

 

Fuck me, what was that PG-rated shite?

 

Other than Kate Beckinsale in a pair of white panties, I can remember nothing about this ill-conceived effort other than how fucking lame it was compared to the Verhoeven/Schwarzenneger effort.

Thought it was already established that for Phase 3 he'd be replacing the Iron Man films and Guardian's was a lead into the more mystical side of Marvels stable.

[Lee909]

I hadnt heard that until i read the interviews yesterday.

Hopefully the do it properly as he is a really good character

[Adebisi]

Panic In Needle Park - Pretty good this. One of Pacino's earliest roles and he's brilliant as always. Wouldn't consider it a great film purely because it's not bleak enough for my likings. Still good though. This got him the role as Michael in Godfather apparently 7/10

[Mendoza]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier- some spectacular action and nice, vicious punch ups. Still think he's the dullest of the Marvel superheroes though- 7/10.
