The Official JKB What Was The Last Film You Watched...

[Heaven98]

Ended up watching Schindler's List again this week. He might only have one character in his acting repertoire, but it's a stunning performance from Fiennes. Just the personification of narcissistic, twisted evil.

[Jambojohnnyboy]

Watched Horsemen on SYFY and it was ok, although it was obvious how it was going to end. 6/10

 

Sky Blue - South Korean Anime which was stunning to look at. 7/10

 

My Bodyguard - Early Matt Dillon movie, where he plays the bully at school and the new kid at school won't play ball and pay protection money. Fun with another great turn from Ruth Gordon from Harold and Maude. 7/10

[AWM]

Mad Max II

 

10/10

 

Classic!

 

[ArmiyaRomanova]

Despicable Me

 

Much better than I'd anticipated, reminiscent of Up in some respects. End credits should be a hoot in 3D.

[The Comedian]

Couples Retreat

 

A pointless and rarely funny comedy with Vince Vaughn and some other people. Everybody talks too much and try's to be oh so reasonable. Rubbish IMO.

 

3/10

theres a third one????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest GhostHunter]

theres a third one????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah - the second is best forgotten, the third should have been the sequel - Feldman put his own money into this, and it comes over as a kind of tribute to Corey Haim.

To be fair he used that persona to great effect in Maid In Manhattan as well.

Rec.

 

7.5/10

 

Only cost me ?3.93 from amazon and was good. Especially good to watch with those of a nervous disposition.

 

Noticed there's a sequel in the DVD chart at the moment which I will probably procure from somewhere so I guess that means I'd recommend it!

[Moriarty]

obviously havent seen it yet but I am keen for this.

if only because I love Isla Fisher.

[tedarmy]

very much over hyped for me

[Say What Again]

A-Team

 

Been putting off watching it for ages as I thought it'd be rotten. Turns out, it wasn't too bad.

Take a look at this - Burke & Hare - The Musical, made in the 90s by a friend of mine when he was at Edinburgh College of Art. Did pretty well then, and Landis knows about the film and has been in touch with him to commend him.

(two parts)

 

 

 

 

Amusingly, both this film and Landis' new version feature Ronnie Corbett.

 

Also amusing to see director Morag McKinnon, whose new pitch black comedy feature film Donkeys is arguably the best film to come out of Scotland in the last few years, playing the role of a prossie.

Flashbacks Of A Fool

 

6/10

 

Not bad, better than I expected.

[Acey]

Leon (Director's Cut)

 

A definite must watch movie. 10/10

 

My favourite film; upgraded to the Blu-Ray a couple of days ago.

 

Gone Baby Gone

 

Calling it a "thriller" is a bit misleading, imo. Good film in a "what would you do?" way, if that makes any sense. 7/10.

 

Dirty Harry

 

Bad-ass, but not a huge amount to think about. Worth it for the famous line alone. 7/10.

[Guest GhostHunter]

Red - pretty good 6/10

[tedarmy]

black death.

 

enjoyed it but a wee bit dull in places

 

6.5/10

[Currahee!]

Nil by mouth.

 

Pretty average really. Not much of a storyline.

 

5/10.

Ralphie, Raith would hate that, was brilliant in "In Bruge" a nutter mind you.

[PsychocAndy]

Machete brilliant 8/10

[kingantti1874]

robin hood (the russel crowe version)

 

excellent-really enjoyed it

 

8/10

 

Thought this film was utterly tragic

 

Watchin Superbad just now - brilliant

[Harry Palmer]

Rocky IV..

 

'Hit the one in the middle.'

 

'Got him hurt bad....you see, you see, he's not a machine. He's a man.'

Traitor 7/10

[PsychocAndy]

Red

Action comedy, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malcovich and Helen Mirren. What could go wrong with a cast like that. Nothing. Great 1hr 45 minutes. 7.5/10

[AWM]

Telstar

 

8/10

 

Excellent film!

[Moriarty]

The Illusionist.

 

Great animation. Edinburgh has never looked so beautiful

 

8/10

[Boab]

Haven't read the thread so apologies if already mentioned but just watched(last night) Dead Man's Shoes with Paddy Considine.

Very good!

 

Sorry......9/10.

Hadn't realised quite how old it is, but ....

 

The Island

 

A bit OTT in places, but thoroughly enjoyable and a great story. 8/10

Extra point for ...

Also watched ...

 

The Book of Eli

 

Still talking about this one - usually a good sign. I really, really enjoyed it.

Noticed that most of the big names put their own money into too and the performances match.

 

8.5/10

[Randle P McMurphy]

Red

Action comedy, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malcovich and Helen Mirren. What could go wrong with a cast like that. Nothing. Great 1hr 45 minutes. 7.5/10

 

nailed it. should i feel bad for thinking that helen mirren looked hot in it?

[rudi must stay]

In the loop

 

some great one liners and actually quite a good plot too

 

10/10

[AWM]

Fragments

 

5/10

 

Pretty average.

[milky_26]

eraser, not one of arnies best films, but a decent action film with some cheesy lines. Something to watch that doesn't require your brain to be in gear. 6/10

[Tommy Wiseau]

Buried - 8 - My mate thought it was pretty guff while I loved it, but I think it'll be that kind of film. Very different type of claustrophobic race-against time movie. Ryan Reynolds is unquestionably excellent though, and it has a real nasty wit about it that I completely bought into.

[rudi must stay]

The girl with the dragon tatoo

 

great film. Very clever storyline that kept me intrigued

 

9/10

[vegas-voss]

A Nightmare On Elm Street(2010 version)

 

It's pish 3/10

[AWM]

Iron Man 2

 

8/10

 

Good film but the first one was better.

[Randle P McMurphy]

the social network - excellent 9/10

[Dunks]

Michael Clayton

 

Excellent performance from George Clooney. A bit slow to get going, but certainly delivers. Solid 8/10

 

 

 

Edge of Darkness

 

Based on the old BBC mini-series and directed by the same guy. Excellent storyline, but I felt it could have been better. Still very good, but could have been better. 7.5/10

[Harry Palmer]

Agreed, I gave up after the 80's mostly and I can't recall anything from Eraser. Settling down and not wondering what the hell is going on is good, film wise.

 

Michael Clayton

 

Excellent performance from George Clooney. A bit slow to get going, but certainly delivers. Solid 8/10

 

 

I'd agree with this, might take another watch which means it's good imo.

[Guest GhostHunter]

The walking dead pre-air screener !! Awesome. 10/10

[...a bit disco]

No she's is one of the sexiest women ever.

[rudi must stay]

[The Mighty Thor]

Red

Action comedy, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malcovich and Helen Mirren. What could go wrong with a cast like that. Nothing. Great 1hr 45 minutes. 7.5/10

 

I took the wee man to see it Friday. Enjoyed it thoroughly and left thinking that i'd definitely slip Helen Mirren one.

[Chad Sexington]

Four Lions. Hilarious and horrifying at the same time. From the God-like genius of Chris Morris. 8.5/10
