EreWeG0.. Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Oblivion 2/10. Tom cruise vehicle for screen time. Boring, plot full of holes, and when clones appear you truly realise how shit this is. Did not care if the hero lived or died. I will not watch another cruise film again. Sadsack hobo of an actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Pacific Rim - 6/10. Whoever compared it to Evangelion was spot on. Good action sequences, but there are some ropey accents, and the intended comic relief with the scientists falls flat on its arse. Looked really good in IMAX 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi's Tynecastle Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Monsters University - good fun, though I probably got a lot more out of what is basically a frat house comedy than my 4yo did. He much preferred the original I think, and I can see why. But despite lacking originality or any real action, it was a lot of fun and looked great. 7/10 The Fast & The Furious Also lacked originality, and the action sequences were surprisingly unexciting. Things went fast I suppose but there wasnt much fury. The whole film seemed so inconsequential it's amazing it has spawned a franchise. Not completely awful though, and I'm only really watching it to see 5 & 6 eventually. Hopefully before 7 comes out. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychocAndy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hunger Games 6/10 I've seen the trailer for the next one and it looks ok so I thought I'd best watch this one first. I don't know what type of audience it's aimed at but it was all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EreWeG0.. Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Final destination 5. 8/10. Not really a horror anymore, not really scary, but the creativity in how someone will meet their doom is the thrill. Heads mashed, eyeballs flying, they seem to have made this franchise have a humour factor like the original evil dead. Plenty 'ooya fooka' moments...and cleverly ties it in with the first one. More please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GhostHunter Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Took my lad to see Pacific Rim in 3D last night. Absolutely loved it - Del Toro (IMO) has set the standard for over the top monster movies with it 8/10 [edit - the Australian son, it was bugging me where I'd seen him before, until I twigged that he was Sean in EastEnders... ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobreath Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The Lone Ranger - Most of the jokes fell flat, the story line was disjointed, and surprisingly violent for a kiddies film.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The Girl Next Door. I really should stop watching films like this... I'm still a bit sad when I think about it. Checked it out online afterwards to see how loosely it was based on a true story, and it seems that the only bit that wasn't true (names aside) was that the wee laddie David, wasn't there to help her, and she had to face all those horrors without help. Really sad story. The removal of someone's dignity and how quickly someone can be turned from bright young thing to tortured broken shell. Hard to rate it... It was horrible to watch, but anything that inspires any kind of emotion, must be very well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yeah, a teen comedy where a laddie falls in love with his next door neighbour, only to find out she is a porn star. Hilarity ensues. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The World's End - 6.5/10. Ridiculous storyline but good humour throughout. Cast bounced off each other well and it was completely different from what I was expecting when it first started. Got a bit weird towards the end which knocks the mark down a bit.

Tommy Wiseau Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Only God Forgives Da *** did I just watch Visually stunning, stylish, intense, a ridiculous torture scene, some diabolical dialogue, a terrible ending Can't rate it as I don't know if it was the worst movie I've ever watched or the best! Not one I'll forget in a hurry either way! Just watched this. **** me Absolute shite. Pretentious, vacuous shite. The visuals are great, if overly-garish for the tone, but the Oedipus imagery is ham fisted, the hands theme running through it isn't half as clever as it wants to be, and a lot of the violence was fetishistic for the sake of it. Oh, and the ****ing karaoke bits 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Lawless - 7/10 - a lot better than the reviews I'd read had made out. It's nowhere near the standard of The Proposition, but Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce are outrageous in it, and I love the look and feel of the setting. Soundtrack is immense as well. Django Unchained - 8/10 - another one where great performances elevate a film up a couple of marks. I'm not so keen on Tarantino's insistence that everything has to lead to graphic violence, and there is a bit in this where one of the cast does something completely out of character just to get to blood, but you can't argue with how it is put together. I probably slightly prefer Inglorious Basterds, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely intense 8/10 I read your opinions on movies and they are like the polar negative of mine - every one the opposite, it seems. I thought, as mentioned on the last page, that it was an atrocious film with very little to redeem it. Pacific Rim -5 - laughably bad, but entertaining in its way. I cannot believe that English scientist character ever made it past the first draft of the screenplay At least 3 of those marks are purely because Stringer Bell is in it. Trance - 6 - Usual Danny Boyle nonsense in the third act derails what was otherwise quite enjoyable daftness. One of those films that invites you to think about it after it is finished, but has so many holes and inconsistencies that it doesn't stand up to being analysed. Enjoyable though.

Muppetboy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The conjuring. Good old fashion creepy horror film, not as many jumpy bits as others such as sinister, insidious etc. based on a true story which is always at the back of your mind which creates a sense of feeling unsettled and slightly uneasy. 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The Paperboy 8/10 This got 3 extra points purely due to Nicole Kidman. The 46 year old Australian / American actress gave me the serious horn throughout this film. She claims not to remember filming the sex scenes. Well I will remember the prison scene for a wee while! Sharon Stone, that's how you do it. Anyway the film itself was based in the deep south around 59, some great moments, loved the maid, and lots of WTF moments.

The Doctor Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Pacific Rim 6/10 I this saw tonight in IMAX 3D and it's probably the best film I've seen in 3D, it uses the format properly and it actually enhances what is a ridiculously over the top romp of a film, in equal parts awesome and cheesy. Hell, giant robots fighting massive aliens, what's not to like? Think Power Rangers meets Cloverfield, but in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
