Ray Gin Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Mugabe and the White African. 7/10 Documentary following the story of a white family who refuse to leave their farm as Mugabe's government tries to muscle them off their land. Pretty shan, although it could perhaps have gone in to a little bit of Zimbabwe's history and what led Mugabe to develop his attitude towards white land owners in Zimbabwe.

Gregory House M.D. Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm a closet conspiracy/ufo goon - I just don't like posting long quoted pieces on the board. Fair play if that's what you're in to. I basically thought it was an extremely poor film because you just know it could never ever happen in a million years. The film might've had a bit more impact if the signs of the invasion been more personal to the viewers. Thought it was very comedy like as well and that outwith the first bird hitting the window the film was completely devoid of any scares whatsoever. Anyway, The Tourist 9/10. Loved it.

Guest GhostHunter Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sightseers - was going to avoid this until I read a review online. Very dark humour, if indeed you can call it humour - don't remember laughing, chuckling or sniggering at any point, on the plus side, I never saw the ending coming. Very unsure about a score - so I'll play it safe, 6/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap - documentary about hip-hop, directed by Ice-T. He's a bit of a mallet but the film is pretty good and has some great freestyling by Q-Tip, KRS One, Eminem etc. Not for the casual viewer but well worth watching if you like hip-hop (although not as good as the brilliant Scratch). 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've seen two Tom Cruise films in the past week. Oblivion 2.5/10 Really didn't like it, full of plot holes and what is, I think, meant to be a tense, atmospheric drama just looked silly. Jack Reacher 8/10 I'm a sucker for a good action movie and I thought the story and the script for this were excellent. I loved Jack Reacher's character and I'm going to have to read the books now. However, Tom Cruise...utter toley. I used to like him, he was never a great actor, but he was a great movie star, I could not be more disappointed in him. He was rubbish in both films. The power he has though, I'm not sure either film would have been made if it wasn't for him, I believe he loves the Jack Reacher novels and because Tron:Legacy had a very mediocre reception I don't think the writer/director of Oblivion would have got the green light without the big name attachment (Kosinski is limited, or perhaps just developing his talent) I don't think any other actor could have saved Oblivion, but Cruise was the weakest thing about Jack Reacher.

Shanks said no Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 McCullin 7/10 Documentary about a still photographer. Unsure what to make of it. McCullin had what I would describe as a poker face, no emotion showing. Until you got into it and heard him tell what he had seen in his working life you didn't realise why. Lets just say that they say soldiers who liberated Auchwitz etc had this with them forever. This guy saw death, war and famine again and again. He had probably seen more horror than was good for him.
