Muppetboy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Elysium. Not as good as district 9, but awesome in visuals, not much character development or back story let it down for me, very watchable though. 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Lore 5/10 Interesting take on the end of the second world war from a German perspective. With subtitles. A family of German children (of Nazi parents) have to travel across their devasted country, meeting along the way various characters such as a Jewish boy, American soldiers and a nation coming to terms with what they did and an uncertain future. Very good concept, just felt it wandered a bit and lost its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2NaFish Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) 500 days of summer rom/com+sketch writing like Spaced+quirky soundtrack+shot like a music video = people think it's original. Not for this fish. There are some very good things about it but they dont deserve to get mentioned (oh, and the diegetic to mimetic song schtick got tired awfy quickly) Edited September 16, 2013 by 2NaFish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hyde Park on Hudson 5/10 Better than I expected as I knew little about FDR other than in a political and polio sense. A bit of a ladies man it would appear. Story loosely based around our glorious King and Queen visiting the US of A for the first time. Far more enjoyable than Lincoln.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Total Recall: If I'd never seen the original it would have been a decent film. 5/10 Wrath of the Titans: Nothing at all to set it apart in the genre. Deviates too much from the original mythology, wasn't as good as the remake of Clash of the Titans, which was a shite remake of my favourite film. 4/10 Safe House: Complete waste of time.

ArcticJambo Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The Great Gatsby .... 5/10 Not sure why I'm even giving it a pass. Jack Reacher - 5.5/10 Better than Gatsby but only just.

Diego10 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The Goonies with my kids.

A film about baseball scouts who travel across the US looking for the best draft picks. Clint Eastwood is getting old. Trousersnake tries acting again and bloke out of Roseanne appears (what happened to his kids?). Best described as a gentle Sunday afternoon film.

Teepee17 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Silver Linings Playbook - A very quick 2 hours which is always a good indication of a good film. Probably wouldn't stand up to much analysis, but Bradley Cooper was good, and Jennifer Lawrence jumps straight to the top of the list for "women I spend too much time 'researching' online".

Takeshi's Tynecastle Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Nearly there with the F&F Films Fast and Furious - I thought this was supposed to be where the series started getting more decent, but apart from reuniting the original cast it was pretty much the same as the first two, incredibly average. 4/10 Fast & Furious 5 - so THIS is where the series gets decent! Better stunts and effects, a passable plot that allows 2 sets of "good guys" to face off and best of all The Rock tearing up every scene he is in. Basically it's a proper action film at last. There's a lull in the middle but chase scene at the end makes up for it. They must have wrecked more cars than The Blues Brothers! Stupidly enjoyable 7/10 Pretty amazing for a series to be peaking at number 5. Breaks all the rules about sequels. After watching the first four I'm still not quite sure how it made it to five, but I'm glad it did (probably should have listened to my brother and skipped the first four tho). On a separate note, part 4's name is really annoying. I remember there being a video on Cinemassacre moaning about this, and other sequels with chronologically confused names: The Final Destination (aka FD 4) Rocky Balboa (aka Rocky 6) Rambo (US title, John Rambo in UK) (Rambo 4 - although even more confusingly the original is First Blood so doesn't even have Rambo in the title!) Anyway, as that video said, Fast & Furious should have been called Fast & Furious 4 or even Fast and Fourious or 4ast & 4urious or something. Although tbf those might have annoyed me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tale involves two young female vampires, one goodish (she still drinks blood!) and one bad naughty one. Flicks back and forward across 200 years.

Patrick Bateman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Diana - 0/10 Genuinely one of the worst films I've ever seen. It portrays her as a complete lunatic. It has the feel of a tv movie, with jarring dialogue and zero chemistry between Watts and the guy playing her lover. There's a scene where she disguises herself in a wig and goes to Chicken Cottage. That's not even the worst part. A total miscarriage of a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Dead Man Down One of those films, abit like Leon or Drive, that has a very reclusive but also very interesting main character.

Zico Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 quite want to see it based on that review. The reviews I've read in the papers have all been similarly scathing. Which isn't really a huge surprise, although Naomi Watts is usually very good and it was made by the director of the exceptional Downfall. Rust and Bone - very good French drama, although it loses a point for a few bits of contrived plotting. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a cineworld card and want to see a bafflingly bad film with that made for TV vibe, look no further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
