William H. Bonney Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 blue ruin - 8/10. a slow burner but engrossing nonetheless. insidious 2 - 5/10. a couple of good scares but mainly nonsensical. the secret life of walter mitty - 7/10. Enjoyable and funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaObua Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Amazing Spiderman 2, slightly tired genre but really enjoyed this one 8/10 Next film not due until 2018 is a bit if a bummer given the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Draper Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The Act of Killing 8/10 I'd just be repeating what a few other folk on the thread have said already, so do a wee search on the name if you're thinking of watching it. It's jaw-dropping stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Starred Up 8/10 Very impressed by this gritty British prison drama. Only flaws I felt were that I missed some of the dialogue and it was a tad far fetched at times. However the final 15 minutes was edge of the seat stuff. Best film I have watched in ages.

hughesie27 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Gone Girl 8.5/10 Very good movie and pretty gripping throughout. Probably 20 odd minutes too long but that doesn't really detract from the story. The final half hour left me feel really uneasy on a number of occasions. Also a fair few humorous moments.

Shanks said no Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Divergent 5/10 Obviously directed at the Hunger Games crowd and I guess based on a similar book. Reasonable teen sort of movie where "the kids" choose which social group they will join. Fell asleep near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Downfall: 8/10. Very good film with some superb acting. It was almost like a genuine documentary of the final few days in Hitler's bunker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Jimmy's Hall 4/10 Set in 30's Ireland about Jimmy and his Hall ("church" sort of hall, not at his front door). Admit to knowing little of the politics and church relations in Ireland during that time. Also found the dialogue and story hard to follow. Not one for me.

Tazio Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hercules Reborn. I fancied a bit of a sword and sandals type adventure tonight and this was only a couple of quid on Blinkbox. Astonishing! Maybe one of the worst films of this type I have ever seen. There were about 8 "actors" in it and one of them was a wrestling star. Everyone else was recruited from the Moroccan village it was filmed in, and it wasn't a very big village. IMDB rated it at 4/10. I would put it around 2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The Conjuring 7.5/10 Best horror in a while. Did feel it lost its way a bit in the second half but the first half was scary enough for me to think I don't like this very much in a sort of scaredy cat sort of way! Lots of stereo types, basement, tick, teenage and preteen girls, tick, many many more, but it did the fright scenes really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 22 Jump Street - the first one was very funny but this only had a few laughs and was too self-referential for its own good. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticJambo Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The Wolf of Wall Street ... 5.5/10 Surely, Scorsese and DiCaprio must cringe somewhat when they are reminded of that.
