rudi must stay Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Everything Must Go A rom com starring Will Ferrell. A nice movie, and a different performance from Ferrell. One which he plays terrifically 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Snake Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Interstellar 10/10 Even better the second time round. My favourite film of all time.

Shanks said no Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Race 7/10 Good Biopic on Jesse Owens which seemed a fair representation of his astonishing achievements. The nazi episode and the disgusting Avery Brundage (sports chiefs haven't changed much) came as no real surprise. I didn't expect the film to show the open racism within the USA, not even set in a historical context, he wasn't honoured by the White House until 1990, years after his death. to quote Owens "Hitler didn?t snub me?it was our president who snubbed me,?

rudi must stay Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Aloha A film with a suprisingly clever and interesting plot for a rom com. Plenty of good performances, as usual Bradly Cooper is excellent, but I thought Emma Stone put in the films best performance 8/10 Edited October 20, 2016 by rudi must stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love that film but the music tops it off. Did you know he also wrote the music the awful daytime show " going for gold" lol..not a lot of people know that.

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Currently an hour into Ghostbusters 2016. My son was desperate to see it and he is loving it. I am not. I give it 0/10 (it really is that bad) but my son is giving it 10/10. So somewhere in between depending on your age (46 and 6) and your taste.. Also recently watched the Angry Birds movie with him. He loved it and while I am not the target audience, I did laugh a few times. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollyWolly Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 GIrl on the Train 6/10 Ponderously slow but atmospheric first hour, turned into a reasonable thriller/mystery. Unbelievable ending.

CollyWolly Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 suicide squad - 5/10 over stylised and lacked a decent plot or proper character development. Will Smith was wrong for deadshot just for me didn't suit the role. for me they could have focused on harley quinn and diablo as they seemed like ones that they could have built the film more about. on the joker there was so much scope of wat they could do with him but basically made him a psychotic lovestruck fool. if they properly develop the character hopefully in his own film i think we could see the best representation of the joker. Not really my genre and kind of pressed into watching it because others wanted to. Even allowing for that, it was dreadful. 3/10 for me.

Shanks said no Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The Man who knew Infinity 5/10 Interesting tale set around 1914 about an Indian native genius and his quest to be accepted into Cambridge University. It covers the cultural and racial clashes he experiences as he seeks acceptance and the opportunity to share his findings. Just felt there was something missing or maybe the subject was just too dry to entertain me. Stars Dev Patel and at times felt like a vehicle for him to perform, co stars include Stephen Fry, Jeremy Irons and Toby Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Just watched ANTHROPOID, which there is a perfect copy of in Exodus. It is based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, the World War II mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich. It also stars Cillian Murphy, who I think is another great actor. I always enjoy films more when they are based on a true story. It's not the best war film I've seen, but it's still brilliant. I'd still give it 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollyWolly Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Downfall 9/10 There is a thread in the Shed about this 2004 film which I watched last night on a recommendation. It concerns the last days of Hitler and the collapse of Berlin. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Its a long film and its subtitles so its something you have to have the time to watch and concentrate on.

Grado Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Purple sunset. 6.5/10 Chinese film about the Russians attacking Japanese forces in China. Story is set around a Chinese farmer who was imprisoned and tortured by the Japanese. A Russian female medic and a Japanese schoolgirl who was brought up in China who's trying to get back to Japan. Obviously as its Chinese made everything Japanese is evil and twisted but it shows how brainwashed they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Went to the cinema today with our boy to see Dr Strange. I was never into any superhero movies up until my boy got interested. I didnt even know there was a superhero called Dr Strange (other than Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc I dont know many others) To the film, I went in with no great expectations and I felt that the telling of the back story dragged on a bit but once the action started it was riveting stuff. The special effects were as good if not better than any other film I have watched and Benedict Cumberbatch (sp?) was very impressive. He is an actor that has grown on me over time. My boy loved it - as you would expect and I enjoyed it a lot more than expected. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
