CalMac Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thor 2: 6/10 Quite funny in bits, some good lines, a bit of Natalie (never a bad thing). Fairly predictable but watchable throughout & apart from a slowish start it was quite well paced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychocAndy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hackers Johnny Lee Miiler and Angilena Jolie. Not seen it in ages and its of its time but a cracking soundtrack, music tech was Edinburgh's own?

The Brow Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Binged on films this weekend a bit A Viking Saga: The Darkest Day - 2/10 Mind numbingly boring and a complete waste of time Henry : Portrait of a Serial Killer - 6/10 Fairly enjoyable, nowhere near the video nasty I had heard it was. Worth a watch. Heather - 8/10 Re-watched this, enjoyable dialogue and a decent storyline. Aside from Slaters 'homage' to Jack Nicholson, its really good. Insidious - 7/10 Bit of a strange horror. Not overly scary and the ending is ridiculous but a few creepy bits and a bit different from the norm. The Kings of Summer - 6/10 Decent enough watch, coming of age film that's a bit sentimental but I had a hangover so it was an easy watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C00l K1d Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Bad Grandpa Quite a few laugh out loud funny bits but a fair amount of forced humour 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Missus was away this weekend so binged a bit. Pacific Rim - 7/10 Usually I'd expect more from a Guillermo del Toro film, but it wasn't bad. Decent entertainment. Grown Ups 2 - 4/10 Watchable, but only just. The first one was shite but I liked it anyway, this one is definitely inferior. We're the Millers - 8/10 Very enjoyable. I don't care who you are, if you're a bloke you're into Jennifer Aniston and she's great in this. The Way Way Back - 9/10 Really good. Didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised. Sam Rockwell is brilliant in this, as he is in..............everything. Edited November 11, 2013 by Rab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Gangster Squad ... saw it on Sunday night ... don't even remember what it was about ... fairly slick mind. Pretty much another take on the good old American hero, needed in times of despair. 6/10 Cloud Atlas ... Not sure I understood it in all honesty but again, it looked great.

It was jaw(s) droppingly bad. Words really can't explain how bad this was. We have sharks, lets mix them up in a tornado and throw them down on the flooded streets of California.

Felt like a dad was giving his son a vehicle to show his talents in an action movie while he sat(lay) back and directed him. Poor stuff.

Zico Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Mud - excellent. One of the best films Ive seen this year. 9/10 The World's End - awful. One of the worst films I've seen this year and I switched it off after half an hour. To make such an unfunny pile of crap with such a good cast is criminal. 1/10 Blue Jasmine - pretty good. A great cast and Cate Blanchett was excellent. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Pirates of The Caribbean: At Worlds End Just liked the second it dragged on, and turned into a sketch show instead of a serious movie.

Chad Sexington Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Wild Bill 9/10. Absolutely loved this film.

Ray Gin Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) The Act of Killing 8.5/10 Incredible documentary about a gang who were responsible for the murder of thousands of "communists" in Indonesia in the 60s, with the story being told through the killers' own, increasingly deranged re-enactments. Sat open-jawed through most of the 2 1/2 hours. Edited November 17, 2013 by Ray Gin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Gravity 8/10 - was expecting something huge in terms of the 3D however despite glimpses and, admittedly some jaw dropping moments. I have to say that, IMO it wasn't as good visually as Avatar. Having read others I'm seriously questioning whether it was the cinema. Great film though.

ArcticJambo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Wild Bill ... after it was mentioned here ... 7/10 A good wee story that seemed believable. Loved the scene near the end where they're all sitting round the kitchen table eating Chinese, finally a happy carefree family moment, all the while dad knows (and us) that there's a storm on the horizon. Almost a a wee tear shedding moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordeaux 03 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The Place Beyond the Pines - A decent storyline but could of been about an hour shorter than it was. 6/10 Extraction - Good low(ish) budget Sci-Fi movie about a guy who develops a machine to let him inside the mind of criminal. Has one of those wow moments which is worth watching the whole movie for. 8/10 Olympus Has Fallen - Not a massive fan of these Hollywood blockbusters with stuff blowing up every 2 minutes but this was actually better than expected. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Gravity: 7/10. Saw it at the IMAX and it had the most unbelievably good special effects I have ever seen in a film. Absolutely incredible. The story was nonsense and had pretty much no basis in reality but the special effects more than made up for it. Sandra Bullock looks pretty good despite the fact that she's pushing 50 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Bullhead 8/10 Where to start? Belgium film with subtitles that was nominated for an Oscar in best foreign film category. Story is around a steroid injecting young farmer. Matthias Schoenaerts gives a great performance but I have to disagree with reviewers who compared it to De Niro in Raging Bull, great but not that great. You have to concentrate and its a long one but I think its worth it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
