The Brow Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Morbid curiosity. Morbid, morbid curiosity. There's also a scene where Diana wins her man's heart back by breaking into his studio flat and doing his dishes. I'm not even joking. If you have a cineworld card and want to see a bafflingly bad film with that made for TV vibe, look no further. At least your honest! To be fair, if it was on the telly I would probably watch it.....

Patrick Bateman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 At least your honest! To be fair, if it was on the telly I would probably watch it..... I had read the reviews, so went in with the expectation of it being bad. It was so much worse than that. There's a scene where they're clearly at it in the backseat of a car, whilst out in the countryside. Dogging, anyone? I challenge folk to see this movie, *just* to see how bad it was. Inexplicably, it was on in screen 7 at Fountainbridge Cineworld. There was a grand total of seven people in the audience, including myself. There was a pair of wee wives who I overheard saying how emotionally powerful it was, I struggled to contain myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Vinyl 9/10 Loved it. Low budget Brit flick based around a scam pulled off by the Alarm where they are ignored by record labels because they are over 30. So instead of quietly retiring they recruit a group of youngsters to mime to their song. Great anarchic cast including Phil Daniels, Keith Allen and the fat bloke out of This is England. Elements of the Great Rock n Roll Swindle and Quadrophenia. Fun film that father and son enjoyed equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...a bit disco Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Frankenstein's Army (2013) Insane effort in the 'found footage' genre. I couldn't even begin to describe it! From imdb.com... 'Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein's work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades -- a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.'

Guest C00l K1d Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just back from Filth Macavoy was excellent. Despite there being an (unintentional?) 5-1 at the beginning, the whole football thing was completely irrelevant apart from having a dig. I'm no being all soppy or that, i just don't see welsh's fascination with sticking hearts and hibs in everything. I facepalmed at the end when Macavoy hangs himself with the hearts scarf All in all though a decent enough film, and some really nice shots of Edinburgh. 8/10. Also was the likeness of that Gus character to John Mcglynn intentional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never read an Irvine Welsh book in my life but as soon as I heard a description of the character my first thought was "He'll be a jambo". That's how Hibs fans work.

There is however a scene, where the young interns are standing against the brick wall of the pizza place while vaughn and the other boy (the one who's nose looks a bit like a tadger) are inside trying to sell websites. Tira Sorcerer I was thinking of the lyrics from Around the Way Girl by LL Cool J : 'Standing at the bus stop, sucking on a lollypop'. Would that be wrong ?

Gizmo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Blade Runner - 4/10 Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford and much acclaim. Absolute shite. Total let down IMO. Absolute shite? Each to their own of course but even the soundtrack and visuals alone surely elevate (what I consider a masterpiece) it out of the "absolute shite" category? The Lone Ranger- surprisingly enjoyable considering it took a bit of a panning and was very badly marketed. The stunts are nice and real for a change and it has a coherent plot (which was a worry given the stupidity of Gore Verbinski's 2nd & 3rd Pirates movies) with a load of money up on the screen. One of the better blockbusters this year. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Love movies like this... Mortal Instruments: City of Bones: Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. Based on the worldwide best-selling book series. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
