Dunks Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Cemetery Junction Nice wee British film from Merchant & Gervais. Quietly entertaining, I'd call it a safe, nice film. Even Mrs Dunks enjoyed it. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunks Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Layer Cake Enjoyable take on the British gangster/drug dealer scene. Daniel Craig is great in this pre-007 role and then there is ....

Least said the better. 1/10 3. Source Code. +Good film. Interesting but ridiculous concept. 6/10. Silly at the end - how does he explain his lack of any knowledge of himself and his teaching career?

Tommy Wiseau Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 hanna , bit slow at times not as good as i was expecting. Saoirse Ronan plays the main character well, cate blanchett is always a good baddie but felt she should have had more screen time. 7/10 Just been to see this and totally loved it myself, would be adding at least 1 mark to your score. Just the way I like my chase movies. Great cast, amazing soundtrack and it had a Lola Rennt type feel about it I was well into. Tom Hollander is absolute class in everything he does as well. L.A. Confidential Absolutely brilliant had only seen it once before when it was first released so could not remember much about so it was great to see it again.Brilliant story and first class acting from everyone in it. 10/10 Seconded. One of my favourite movies of all time, top 5 at least. PS. Is it wrong that my favourite film noirs are not even film noirs (Chinatown and LA Confidential)? Not that I care likes, but imo both are better than stuff like The Maltese Falcon and The Third Man (which I also love). Thoughts from noir fans?

rossthejambo Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Forgot all about this thread. Last 3 films I've seen Insidious - 6.5/10 - Was a bit freaky but the last sort of 45 minutes were totally ridiculous. Scre4m - 6/10 - Just what you expect from a Scream film, some reasonably funny bits, plenty teenagers running about getting slashed. Wasn't bad. The Hangover part 2 - 8/10 - Really quite funny, but not as good as the first one (quite difficult to do in fairness). Just a shame the general layout of the story didn't change.

Some great performances from both the main actors. However i still go on record to say that Rambo 4 is more violent, no-one was reduced to a chunk of meat by mounted machine gun from point blank range in this.

Zico Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I've been on the couch for two weeks following an op and in that period, I've watched.... Green zone - decent all action interpretation of the book. 7/10 Iron man 2 - disappointing sequel as I enjoyed the first one. 5/10 Gommorah - second time I've seen this and while it's not as good as the book, I think it's great. 9/10 You can count on me - well made indie drama, although not much happens. Laura Linneys brilliant in just about anything though. 7/10 Hot tub time machine - not great but had some funny bits. 5/10 Machete - hilariously violent, comedy action film. Like a p!ss take of commando or something. And Jessica alba and Michelle Rodriguez both look amazing. 7/10 Robin hood - well made Hollywood action flick but nothing more. 6/10 Parallax view - quality paranoid 70s thriller. 8/10 Tell no one - good French thriller, which build the suspense well but loses it's way a bit at the end. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
