P45 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The 20 minutes I managed of Terminator Genesys last night. 0/10 Truly awful. It's horrible. I only got 4 Sarah Connor wanks in before I turned it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Shutter Island: It was pretty heavy-handed in its storytelling and lacked a load of subtlety which lessened the impact of the reveal at the end. It was a fun movie to follow despite how grim some of the imagery was as it was a interesting mystery but, as I said, they seemed to give too much away early on. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hail Caesar! Hmm, a wee bitty disappointed with this. I'd been looking forward to it as I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan but I didn't think it was up to all that much. Don't get me wrong, there was some pretty amusing scenes but altogether the whole thing didn't go anywhere and kinda fell flat. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unconscious Objector Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just watched John Carpenter's The Thing for he first time with my daughter. Fantastic looking on blue ray with the special effects holding up pretty well today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyVanBasten3 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Outstanding film. My 2nd favourite JC film just behind Halloween, it gives you that unsettling feeling.....especially during the blood test scene, suspense overload 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Thing is the best film ever Watched Amazon Women on the Moon again tonight. Holds up surprisingly well, and is remarkably prescient in one or two scenes, like Rosanna Arquette looking up information about Steve Guttenburg before a date, as I understand the young people do these days on their intarwebs. It's not quite The Kentucky Fried Movie, but it's pretty amusing nonetheless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unconscious Objector Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 How many films at the cinema have you left early ? The only film I have ever left early was 2001 as I was so bored. To be fair to myself, I think it had been re-released in the afterglow of Star Wars and thus I was very young but now know better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 How many films at the cinema have you left early ? None. I've come close a couple of times. Always try and see it out. Don't blame folk for saying "sack this" though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 How many films at the cinema have you left early ? That could be a thread all on its own. For me, Peter Jackson's King Kong, as it was shit and we knew we could probably catch the start of another film; same goes for Shrek (although I like the sequels, oddly). There's another one I've forgotten, and I wished I'd left Congo early once it was over. Aside from King Kong, the wife tells me she walked out of the 1998 American Godzilla, and I can't say I blame her. Anyone seen memorable walk-outs from other people? A sizeable percentage of the audience started bitching and walked out of Brotherhood of the Wolf en masse when the subtitles kicked in at the beginning, and practically every late-night horror movie I ever attended in the States would feature an early walk-out from a couple after the baby they brought with them started screaming in terror 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Grismby 2/10 - absolutely rubbish. Deadpool 9/10 - I thought this was fantastic. Very unique movie and Ryan Reynolds suits the role very well. I've never watched any Marvel films and after seeing this i have printed of a list of movies and shows to get through! I believe Deadpool isn't actually a Marvel film though, it's a Fox one, am i right? Edited March 6, 2016 by Central 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yip - Fox film, but Marvel character. I'll warn you - no other Marvel film is like Deadpool! I'd have to agree. I've not seen that many marvel films (2 iron mans and both avengers), but I didn't like them at all. Whereas I thought Deadpool was fantastic! Are the x men films marvel? I enjoy them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hail, Caesar! Watched this yesterday. If you had asked me then I would have given it a 5/10 but the more I think about it the more I think it deserves a little more credit. I love stuff set in LA during that time period (films like Gangster Squad etc I have a massive soft spot for). I find the whole Hollywood in the 50s era really interesting. The film itself doesn't really go anywhere and doesn't have a massive pay off at the end (Coen's do this from time to time) but it looks amazing and has a few really, really good scenes (the religion vs religion scene in the film studio boardroom is absolutely brilliant). It should have the making of a really good film if it had a stronger story thread but ultimately it is there to be enjoyed as an escapist piece of cinema. 7/10 (I think) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
