Have you seen Edge of Tomorrow?
Have you seen Edge of Tomorrow?
Yeah. Good shout though, something along those lines is what I'm after.
So fucking true, I watched it last night, absolute shambolic ending.Originally Posted by John
Just put Running Man or something on, Boyd. Brainless action films peaked in the eighties.
Reqeuim for a Dream, ten minutes, Film4.
Ass to ass!
One of the best lines in film history.
bolt was a bit good.
Surprised it's not as highly regarded as some of the other animated films.
Just watched The Big Short. Surprisingly entertaining for a film about the financial crisis. Also depressing as fuck though.
Song of the South
I wouldn't say it was racist but I can see why Disney have chosen to bury it. The way it presents black and white people was quite unsettling, considering it was a kids film. If it was a film for adults then I really doubt there'd be any problem whatsoever. I'd worry about what kids might learn from it though, so I can understand that. Not sure if it's up to Disney to decide to 'protect the children' rather than individual parents, but that's another debate.
Anyone I speak to about Disney films seems to love it, as do I, but I know what you mean. It deserves more credit.
For me it's the movie where Disney really turned a corner. They'd have some terrible releases before that, but starting with Bolt they've got back on track.
Has anyone bothered with Grimsby yet?
I'm a twit
american gangster was a solid 'gangster' affair.
Emma stone really is a delight though.
A Hologram for the King is shit.
Green Room is okay, but the Nazi's in it are inept.
I watched Looper today, which managed to not totally balls up time travel. The reveal was obvious 500 miles away, but still well done.
Have you seen moon?
Yeah, it was pretty good from what I remember.
I watched Kingsman tonight. Thought it was really good. Tone was a bit odd at times but generally I thought they nailed it.
X Men: Apocalypse is complete bilge.
Started on the Bourne-trilogy again.
I love the Bourne films. I suspect the new one might be a bit shit but I dunno if that's based on anything or if I'm just trying to dampen my own expectations in case it actually is. The sequence at Waterloo station is one of my favourites in an action film.
Just watched the trailer for Moana:
Visually that looks wonderful.
That looks brilliant.
Looks a bit like the Croods. Which was brilliant.
First Blood is on ITV4
It's the background music that makes it.
The Lobster was... something. Not quite sure what to make of it.
Anyone on here seen it and have thoughts?
Genuinely decent acting from Stallone at the end there.
I went over the top with the praise on the first viewing, second time round I found the first half or so entertaining and then it shits the bed.
Red Heat on ITV.
First half was really good, second half was really bad. So.. yeah
Saw The Neon Demon last night. It was brilliant from start to finish. Refn is just in a class of his own aesthetically.
Finally watched The Revenant tonight. I thought it was excellent.
On the other hand, Joy might be the worst film I have ever watched.
Independence Day 2 is an absolute headache. The worst 'blockbuster' I've seen in fuck knows how long. They must spend about three minutes of the runtime on people screaming at a point slightly to the left of the camera and crowd shots of people celebrating the tiniest victories.
They call the events of the original 'The Battle of 96', which generated a couple of lols.
We had tickets booked to go and see that last night, but we decided not to go. Sounds like we made the right choice.
It looks like a disgrace. Surprisingly it's only got 5.7/10 on iMDB. Which means in reality it's more like a 2.5/10 if you remove the fanboy votes.
You did. It's not even a so bad it's good shambles where you can lol at the dialogue. It's just weightless, stakeless set pieces piled on top of eachother, every one abysmal and stolen from elsewhere.
For those who've seen it or don't care about spoilers.

Finding Dory is perfectly decent.
Some fun moments. Nothing particularly brilliant, but generally entertaining.
Tried to watch Hell Baby and couldn't finish it.
We're it not for Riki Lindhome's nude scene it would probably be the worst thing ever.
10 Cloverfield Lane is pretty good. Not overly convinced by the end, but that didn't really matter.
Grimsby is obviously shit, but I did laugh at the elephant scene.
On the subject of 10 Cloverfield Lane, people who write shit like this really need to be put down.

Spoilers everywhere, obvs.
I can't even get past the title and subtitle.
What wank.
There are a million problems with the ending, but the main one is that it's completely unnecessary.

One Night in Istanbul is a terrible film. It's so odd.
A Girl Like Her is decent
Vertigo is weird
I thought Vertigo was magnificent when I watched it a few years ago. In what way did you think it was weird?
Vertigo is pretty weird. For one thing it's just creepy, and in a sneakier way than something like Nightcrawler, but the pacing is also strange with those long middle sections driving around the city. Great film though.
I took "weird" to be negative, but yeah, it has a unique style.
A shit ending too. Proper wtf.
Last Boy Scout on ITV.
Some more films that I have seen.
ET - Still a classic, but I suspect the version I saw had the George Lucas treatment, for some inexplicable reason.
Zootopia - Delightful stuff, with some really nice touches.
The Hateful Eight - Understand that this one polarises, but personally, I loved it. Really got into the characters, it created a wonderful atmosphere and the (admittedly) ludicrous run time just flew past.
I tried ET with the little un but she shat it.
How old is she?
My Mum always reckons she took me to the cinema to see ET and I sat there transfixed for the whole thing, which I find very hard to believe given I'd have been two at the time.
