Better than Into The Wild?

 

Nah. It's not that good. In To The Wild is a solid 10 all day long. This is pretty close though. Lovely movie. 

[russ1979]

This is the end.

Crap 2/10 not funny fell asleep before the end

 

Super.

6/10 not bad I too thought it could of been better executed

[Jairzinho]

The Intouchables - about as close to perfect as a film can be. I hate the word lovely, but it's the only word that fits.

9.7 mega-rich cripples out of 10 Parisian bad boys. 

 

Glad someone else thought so. I've spammed the fuck out of this thread with recommendations for that film. Probably the best film I've seen in the last five years.

The Intouchables - 8.5 Sakho lookalikes out of 10 Nazi invalids. Really enjoyed it, thanks for the heads up, lads.

 

Stuck on Love - 7/10. Not great, but if you're a bit of a sap, like me, it's worth it. Greg Kinner is good anyway.

[Innova]

The Negotiator. 8/10, thought it was an underrated movie with good action and a decent plot. Really well acted by Kevin Spacey and Samuel Jackson.

[Tom R]

The Way Way Back.

5.5 not quite as awkward as awkward British teenagers out of 10 why doesn't Steve Carrol's stick do what he does best and make me laughs. 

Great cast. Started off brilliantly - after 10 mins I was thinking Little Miss Sunshine, Moonrise Kingdom etc, which is good. Then it lost its way in a big way in the middle. It came good in the end, but it left me wanting a bit more. 

It tried a bit too hard to be a modern version of My Crazy Summer meets National Lampoon's Vacation. They even managed to feature a real-life metallic pea 'Truckster'  ("you think you hate it now, just wait til you drive it!")

 

Americans rarely manage to capture teenage angst and frustration on screen. Sometimes they manage - Juno, Donny Darko, American Beauty, Little Miss Sunshine et al, but 99/100 It's just fucking dumb, predictable and shmoltzy bollocks. For  all the small laughs and feel-good bits in this, it's basically mostly shmoltzy bollocks. 

 

You can see they've tried hard to emulate the kind of coming-of-age, awkward feel that a British film like Submarine or This is England gives off, but it just doesn't get close. Way too fucking shallow in all departments.

Ouch. And I thought I marked it low. I thought some bits were a bit predictable, so whipped a point off. 5.5, though, is pretty stinging. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 89%, IMDb a 7.6. I thought Sam Rockwell was pretty superb in it. I thought it was easily better than Moonrise Kingdom and not too far off Little Miss Sunshine. Not as good as Juno, though.

Filth 8/10

 

Very funny, some quality swearing, McEvoy is ace.

 

Ye fucking bufty

[Anubis]

Finally got around to watching The Adjustment Bureau. 6/10. Ok for a watch, but nowhere near as original or sci-fi as the trailer promised.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Watched The Intouchables again. The red haired bird with the tig ol' bitties, Audrey Fleurot, in well fit.

 

[Pidge]

I was looking for that on Netflix to no avail. Is it on Lovefilm or something?

 

Anyway, had a bit of a film night tonight (a pretty poor one though).

 

Red Riding Hood - 5/10 Pretty dire. Gets 4 for Gary Oldman, although thry didn't even give him much direction to work with and he was clearly there for the paycheck.

 

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 7/10 Decent spinoff from the series, hated the cruelty (even though it was on CG animals...) and it felt like a cheap way to manipulate the audience and I didn't buy Franco's performance for a second.

 

Trees Lounge - 8/10 quite enjoyable character piece, if a little insubstantial come the end..

[Anubis]

Shit. Meant to rep you NV for the Fleurot love and hit neg instead. Have repped two earlier posts to compensate.

 

V/H/S - 3/10. More Twilight Zone/Tales Of The Unexpected than horror. And not very good to boot. 9/10 for the webcam tit-jiggling in the fourth installment.

[Tom R]

Watched The Intouchables again. The red haired bird with the tig ol' bitties, Audrey Fleurot, in well fit.

 

 

Yeah. Pretty safe to say that I actually love her. 

[Kobayashi Maru]

Escape Plan - 8/10.

 

Enjoyable fare, including the interplay between Stallone and Schwarzenegger. 

[J-V]

Lone Ranger - Terrible film. I stopped watching it half way through 2/10

White House Down  Another poor film 3/10

The Internship - Expected it to be far better though worth the watch for Ross Byrne 5/10

[Anny Road]

Done fuck all except watch movies for a few days so.

 

42, really enjoyed it great lead and Harrison Ford proves once again he is up there with the greatest. 7.85/10

Shooter. Good action film Mark Whalberg  is his usual moody strong self 7.15/10

Elsyium. Didn't quite know what it wanted to be. 6/10

Intouchables. Really good. Great lead. Wheelchair guy was a cross between DeNiro and Hoffman. Great redhead. Cheers GF for that one 8/10

Hangover 3. shit 4/10

2012. Nonsense as expected 5/10

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Pacific Rim - fucking shite. Shite acting, shite fight scenes, a shite mess of what could've been something really impressive, based on the general premise of the film. 2 out of 10.

 

The Lone Ranger - slightly longer than it needed to be, plus a few "behave yourself!" incredibly unbelievable action scenes, but apart from these criticisms, I enjoyed it. Thought Depp was quite funny as Tonto. 7 out of 10.

[James Dean]

Man Of Steel - 7/10 - Enjoyable, first hour was very good. Last hour a bit over the top, borderline boring at times.

[Anny Road]

I am number four. Crap turned it off. 3/10

Rise of the foot soldier. Full af fackin cockney cants. Just missing Dyer. Pretty shit. 5/10

Layer cake. More fackin cockney cants. Bit better this Craig saves it 6.9/10

Blood Simple. Coen brothers. Pretty good and quirky. Good film making 7.85/10

Gone baby gone. Excellent 8/10

Memento. Had no idea what was going on for most of it but it comes together v well. Enjoyed it 7.95/10

[Anny Road]

Silver Linings Playbook.

Usually avoid anything with romance in the synopsis but for some reason I watched this. Excellent really enjoyed it. Great cast, good acting if slightly predictable 8.1/10

[Welsh]

The Croods - Shit, boring, wank etc etc... Turned it off after watching 45mins of it. Only good thing that can be said about this was the animation & colours used in the film.

 

If you have an opportunity to watch this, don't. 

[Hooch]

The Station Agent - 8/10

 

My type of film.  Indie, not a lot happens, great characters and some nice shots.  The main character is a midget, although Gyp Rosetti from Boardwalk Empire steals the show.

 

Lovely.

[The Economist]

Said Midget is the amazing Peter Dinklage who plays Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. A metaphorical giant of an actor.

[Carvalho Diablo]

The Heat.

 

Sandra Bullock and some fat cunt star in this female copy / buddy / comedy / Cagney and Makepeace.

 

Now I don't ever advocate violence against women, or I should say, until I watched this I didn't.

 

Dog shit / 10

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

The Prisoners. Decent enough. 7/10
