World War Z - 7/10   -  Decent Zombie romp

StarTrek Into The Darkness  - 7.5 

[Sugar Ape]

Prisoners. 7/10. Maybe half an hour too long, but a good film with some quality acting.

 

Can't be arsed reading back through the thread, is Elysium worth a watch?

If your bored one day & there is nothing else on, it's worth a watch but I would get my hope up & plan my evenings entertainment around it.

[Pidge]

Watched Repo Man the other day, quality. 9/10.

 

 

Harry Dean Fucking Stanton!

 

 

 

Watching Slap Shot, even funnier second time around. 8/10.

 

 

Paul Newman not giving a fuck.

[Alan Sex]

Never realized Repo Man was Cox. I like Cox.

No. 

 

Elysium - 3/10. Shockingly cliched claptrap with paper thin "acting" and a shit plot.

 

[James Dean]

Elysium was forgettable. I'd give it a 6/10.

 

Winter's Bone - 7/10 - Subtle drama with strong performances all round.

 

White House Down - 6/10 - Not the worst Emmerich movie. Completely ridiculous of course, but I liked it better than Olympus has fallen, which revolved around the same theme.

[rubble-rouser]

Argo - 9/10

[rubble-rouser]

The Crash Reel (Documentary but still ...)

 

10/10 - superb - very emotional

[General Dryness]

Nightbreed - It sounded like something I'd really enjoy, but it was pretty average stuff. Hellraiser was much better. I dunno what Clive Barker's books are like, but a lot of his films sound better than they are - 6/10

Forget the movies. The first Hellraiser is good, second one OK, ropey thereafter. Nightbreed, again, just OK.

 

Read Books of Blood. Fucking scary shit. Movie is bollocks though.

[Frankenhooker]

In all fairness Nightbreed was completely butchered by the studio, nearly 50 minutes ended up on the cutting room floor. Recently the full 150 minute cut has been playing at festivals and is supposed to be released some time next year. The theatrical release got rid of a lot of Decker's (Cronenberg) back story and didn't show his murders.

 

The 'Cabal' cut is supposed to be a lot better.

The Purge, yet another waste of a good concept, absolutely nothing original or interesting. 2/10

[JohnnyH]

Watched 127 hours for the 1st time.  It was really good. What could have been a boring subject apart, obviously, from the conclusion, was in fact handled very well. (tee hee 'handled')  The actual arm cutting scene is hard to watch.  Even thinking about it now turns my stomach.

 

8.7/10

[VladimirIlyich]

Argo - 9/10

One of the most overrated films ive ever seen. Very good first three quarters followed by a ridiculous flag waving,U-S-A last quarter.

Could really have been a cracker in my opinion.

[Adebisi]

The Four Year Plan (QPR documentary) - Decent watch, that Flavio is nuts. Wanted the names of the people who booed him or he would sell the club and called Warnock a fucking idiot after one bad result when they were flying. Them fiery Italians provided some laughs and there's even music by Tame Impala but I'd like to have seen a bit more on the sackings and even perhaps some interviews with the players during the madness. God knows who was advising these guys though, some of the managers they employed were garbage 6.5/10

I've added it to my Amazon list chief. Sounds like something I'd enjoy. I haven't got around to watching Hellraiser 2 yet, got the first 3 for a couple of quid and enjoyed the first, just haven't bothered to check the others out yet.

I'll mebs check it out. When I read the synopsis I was expecting something great, sounded right up my street but found myself bored through most of it. 

[Anny Road]

Odd Thomas. Sort of enjoyed this. Bit cheesy and could have been better but I have not read the books.Stormy is lovely so that's a plus. 6.8/10

[Vincent Vega]

I'm surprised at the high marks so many have given to Argo, I found it very disappointing and totally lacking in any tension and suspense, I'd have given it 6 out of 10 max.

 

I have enjoyed a few other films recently however.

 

Rush - 8 out of 10 - very enjoyable, I always liked what James Hunt was about and the film was a good representation of the rivalry between nim and the ruthless determination of Lauda. Good performances from both Hemsworth and especially Brühl, Lauda's comeback from his horrendous crash and injuries was pretty inspiring.

 

Captain Philips - 8 out of 10 - I can take or leave Tom Hanks, but I thought he was excellent in this. A good eye opener into the world of Somali pirates. The tension built briliantly and the way the film captured the caustrophobia on the life boat was excellent. I'd agree with those who have siad it was possibly 15 to 20 minutes too long and knocked off a point becuase of that.

 

Zera Dark Thirty - 8 out of 10 - I really enjoyed it, I was always fascinated by the hunt and then killing of Bin Laden, so I think I was always going to enjoy this, and it didn't let me down.

 

Thor: The Dark World - 7 out of 10 - Typical Marvel superhero film, not quite as good as the first Thor movie but enjoyable enough none the less. Tom Hiddlestone is impressive and surely destined for some big roles in Hollywood with their love of posh English men as their movie villains. Natalie Portman is just stunning. 

 

I'd still have Star Trek: Into Darkness as my movie of the year at this point, but looking forward to the second installment of The Hobbit which may take the top slot.

[Stickman]

Killing me Softly 4 out of 10 pretty boring to be honest after a decent start, bit too much talking as well maybe the writer thinks he's Tarantino.... Sorry but you ain't.

Also disappointingly I thought that when Tony Soprano sorry James Gandolfini appeared was when it started to go downhill.

There's a Barcelona one as well that isn't as unintentionally funny but gives you a good insight into the workings of the club.

 

Deals with the Joan laporta period (having to turn around the massive debts, the first glut of signings like ronaldinho etc) which pretty much was the catalyst for the last few great Barcelona sides.

Think I remember seeing that on the BBC years back, mate. Was a good watch from what I remember.

Cheers for the heads up mate, I'd be very interested to see that.

[Kevin D]

Lethal weapon 6 - 7.8/10. I actually thought it was very disjointed for the first 25 minutes, but then Chief Lazuras turned up and stole the show. He really was brilliant and, it goes without saying, the full penetration scene will go down in cinema folklore.

[Anubis]

The Wolverine - 7.5/10.  Much better than the shitfest that was Origins. However I was singularly disappointed by the lack of Wolverine vs Ninja action that was teased in the trailer.

[Anny Road]

Killer Joe. Bonkers. Dark original and enjoyable. 7.15/10
