dan cake Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Will we get a movie about some fat cheetos eating jarhead bitch who has killed dozens using her drone? You can almost write the script yourself... "Then she valiantly signs off her computer and heads down to McDonalds after obliterating yet another wedding party.... (cue patriotic music)" Word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 If your looking for a laugh watch Bad Grandpa.almost wet maself when he caught his tadger in the vending machine. Agreed. The beauty pageant for kids was hilarious also. What a shower of c'vnts were in amongst the parents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Couple of Tom Hardy films The drop - with James Gandolfini, think it was his last film. Good crime drama. Warrior - couple of years old. Reminds me of the mid 90's boxing film Gladiator. I love this film, not much of UFC fan but reckon this is really well done. Some cliches out of the Rocky / The Wrestler script but the acting makes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugitive Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I watched 2 yesterday : John Wick - Keanu Reeves being a Rambo The Judge - Robert Downey Jr - I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Downey is fast becoming my favourite actor. Also watched Before I go to sleep on Saturday. Don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanJon Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A Most Violent Year Never really went anywhere and was trying too much to be like a kinda mafia version of Drive, saying that I did enjoy it and both leads were excellent. The leading actor boy will be huge in the next few years . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Lucy - watched it coz I enjoyed The fifth element and I believed this was the same geezer. Total pish. Avoid. Coherence - this is a 2013 film lower budget quantum physics based sci fi - it was ok if a little predictable. Agree with the Rover comments - the mad guy (Mike from neighbours?) tracks them across country like a man possessed and they don't think to check what is the boot? Aye arch crims them ones. Godzilla was entertaining. Edge of tomorrow - s'awright. Still Guardians of the Galaxy for film of 2014. Hollywood is deeply ed. edit: oh Blue Ruin (2013) - not bad worth a watch.

Ormond Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Watched Taken 3 last night at the pictures. I had doubts anyway given it's a man past 60 years old smashing the bejesus out of fit 30 year olds. But it was worse than I could've imagined. Dougray Scott's awful American accent did provide the odd snigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillinger Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Inherent Vice Total bollocks. One of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Mega irritating, impenetrable, impossible to follow. It's not fair to describe this as a film - it's an endurance test. I somehow managed an hour and fifteen minutes of its baffling two and a half hour runtime. I have no idea why anyone would want to sit through it that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanTeddy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Working in the back of beyond with weekend trip to local town that has one cinema - my justification for Taken 3 and American Sniper. The former almost got to the point of being unbearable, air con and no other alternatives made me sit through this utter pile of steaming pish! Taken 2 is the Bicycle Thieves to this - Dougray Scott save Neisen from looking like a cock in this though only just! Plot with more holes than TartanJon's special room at Bennets!! American Sniper. It's Generation Kill for the hard of thinking (some of the same actors interestingly enough). The film is vapid one dimensional shite saved by a big budget and a decent leading actor. But me it's got the moralality of a 1950's cowboy and injuns film but without a grain of self awareness. In real life Kyle was a bit of a and quite clearly psychopathic, the film humanises him by skipping stuff like context and facts and is aimed at the dumbest of hick town hicks. Apparently it gets lots of folks a hooting and a hollerin in the Deep South, no doubt the audience then finish their big gulps and put the White hoods on and go string up some black kids. Guaranteed Oscar material btw, followed by an immediate increase in shooting of Middle Eastern looking folk living South of the Mason Dixon line! Thank Paddington is next up at the local picture hoose!! TT Edited January 27, 2015 by TartanTeddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I admittedly haven't seen the film (nor do I want to if I'm honest) but I was astounded to read that some film critics and academics in America who have criticised American Sniper have been subject to threats and abuse ! From reviews on here I'm guessing that it's a bit of a "Wooooo USA #1 !" and "Support our troops ! Go USA !" kind of film. A film (or TV series) I'd really like to see is a docu-drama on the life and war service of Noel Godfrey Chavasse. An English doctor with a French name who served in a Scottish regiment during WW1. He won the VC twice (which has only ever happened to two other men) for personally rescuing dozens of men under heavy fire and was fatally wounded winning his second VC. A far more deserving subject I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see it last night and expected it to be like that, But i wouldn't say it was. Was a good film, felt a bit like call of duty at times, but i suppose they were trying to give a representation of what is happening out there.

A far more deserving subject I think. The main protagonist has been proven (in court and everything) to be a bit of a fantasist on a number of issues, from shooting looters during Katrina to knocking out 63 year old Jesse Ventura cause Ventura was saying SEALS needed to die, his estate owes Ventura just under $2 million in damages. There was a finish sniper in the russian war who's story is much more impressive in the same context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replay Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Went to see Ex Machina last night. Really enjoyed it! Alicia Vikander is an absolute babe. Arguably the sexiest AI I've ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Went to see Whiplash last week and thought it was excellent. A film about jazz drumming shouldn't be that gripping but it really was and JK Simmons is tremendous. Watched '71 during the week there and was a bit disappointed in it. The premise of it is excellent (Brit squaddie stuck behind enemy lines in 1971 Belfast) but it didn't really go anywhere and I felt they didn't make good use of Jack O'Connell. With a few tweaks it could have been a much better film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stapes Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Watched Gone Girl 2day, no bad A few twisty bits but about half a hour too long Definitely a little too long. But a decent film. That ending though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugitive Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Watched a few films this weekend, the ones I can remember are : Birdman - sorry, I thought it was crap Supremacy - ok, bit slow at times Nightcrawler - really liked this - found it totally gripping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
