  1. That Awkward Moment 4 out of 10 On the one hand, thinking positive thoughts, Immogen Poots is in this film and therefore an extra 2 points gets added. On the other hand, it is tedious, boring, poorly written, and deeply unfunny.
  2. Agreed. Best game I've ever played. If you're able to download Left Behind, it is worth it even if only for the added bits to the story for Ellie. I normally don't replay games, but I've started it again on Hard level.
  3. I was so sceptical about this when I first heard about it, but I should have known the Coen Bros. wouldn't have got involved it wasn't top notch. Apparently, there is going to be a second series involving a different case. After all...
  4. Only on drinks night on pay-day, then the **** gets (sur)real!
  5. Agreed! I quite fancy giving it a proper watch and pay proper attention as it has stuck in my mind all weekend.
  6. Don Jon 7 out of 10 Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson are great together and the film spins rom-com expectations on their head. On the one hand, I thought it was reaching for something a bit more profound but never really got there, on the other, it can be watched as a bit of a laugh. A Pervert's Guide to Ideology 7 out of 10 It's a lesson in modern philosophy about the state, the individual, identity etc. through representations in movies through the years and I think it frazzled me brains.
  7. Inside Llewyn Davis 8 out of 10 I had slight trepidations about this film as it has been described by some as 'cold' or 'distant' and this, combined with the theme of the film, suggested it was akin to the Coens' A Serious Man, which I struggled to watch all the way through. This, though, is outstanding. All the actors are brilliant and there are some very funny bits throughout. John Goodman plays a character that still makes me laugh when I think about it a few days after watching, along with Garrett Hedlund too. It is funny, but there is a deep melancholy too.
  8. I wasn't convinced by Harrelson, even though the character he played was intriguing, and I thought Bale was all over the place in his performance. I think a lot of that may have been to do with the script, right enough.
  9. Casey was taking subway sandwich style bites of the background, no doubt. I thought Christian Bale and Woody Harrelson were tripping over themselves, and Forest Whitaker seemed to be visiting from a different movie. Willem Defoe was suitably earnest. But, I must say, Zoe Saldana
  10. Out of the Furnace - 6 out of 10 I think this could have been a very good film but the script and direction lets it down, and so it is just a good film. The cast is brilliant with Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Willem Defoe, Forest Whitaker, Woody Harrelson, and Zoe Saldana ( ) Despite the great cast, it veers towards being overwrought and the main leads do take turns to chew the scenery.
  11. Philomena 8 out of 10! I was surprised at how this intelligent and deeply sad film could also be so funny. Steve Coogan and Judi Dench are brilliant together.
  12. Downfall 9 out of 10 If I was being honest, the last thing I wanted to do when getting in from work last night was to sit down and watch a foreign language historical epic dealing with supremely difficult subject matter. But, it is bloody brilliant. Tense, gripping, and genuinely had us sitting on the edge of our seats right through to the end.
  13. Yes, that's the one. PE 1.5 is a better way to describe it.
