K.T Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The Exorcist (1973) It's probably been about 5 years since I watched this and I still find the Directors cut to be absolutely terrifying! The normal version I don't find scary at all so I don't know what it is. Perhaps the part where she unexpectedly comes down the stairs bent over backwards? Anyway, a truely great horror film that still stands the test of time. The voice when she says "What a wonderful day for an exorcism" freaks me right out! 9/10 Paul (2011) I didn't really fancy this but it was the girlfriends choice so we watched it. I thought it was OK. The CGI wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. I didn't think Seth Rogan's voice fitted the alien at all. But maybe that's because in these CGI films they usually adapt the characters image to resemble the features of the voice actor in some way? This film didn't do that. Had a couple of funny moments though and it was OK for a no-brainer. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityfan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Piranha Knee deep in clunge and gore, but overall is pretty poor. Postives - Jessica Szohr (from Gossip Girl) and a topless Kelly Brook along with a decent amount of gore. Negatives - Everything else (with the severed penis scene being the worst and most pointless point of the film) 4/10 - Although I think I would have enjoyed it slightly more if I had seen it in 3D. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Your Highness (2011) I'm a big fan of Danny McBride (Pineapple Express, Foot Fist Way) so I thought this was hilarious. Not what I was expecting at all. Worth a watch 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yellowbrickroad (2010) In 1940 an entire town walked up a trail into the wilderness for no reason, when there bodies were found they were frozen to death or slaughtered. Fast forward to present day and a group of people go up the trail to uncover the mystery. I can't make up my mind if it's good or shite. The beginning starts well and then it begins to sag when they're on the trail, then the end is just odd. Not the worst ending mind you. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSaint Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Cars 2 My favourite animated movie ever made, probably betters Toy Story 3. Mater is fantastic and the casting of Michael Caine is spot on. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part II This was far too short, and missed out some really good bits from the book. I would have liked to have seen more of the Dumbledore back-story in both films (I can't remember exactly when it happens in the book). The action scenes were excellent, and some of the performances from certain people were good whilst others were typically wooden. Like the book, it felt rushed and some of the dialogue didn't translate well from book to film. Some moments were very awkward to watch when they shouldn't have been. Despite that, it was a decent enough ending to the series. I preferred "Part I" to this, so I'll give it 6.5/10. I saw this in 3D today as my dad had yet to see the film. Some scenes worked very well but most of it didn't work in 3D. I'm sure 3D will grow on me eventually though. I also saw Cars 2 at work on Thursday. Not the best Pixar film, and I haven't seen the first one but it's good fun to watch. I'll give it 6/10.

K.T Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 X-MEN- FIRST CLASS (2011) I haven't been hugely impressed with any of the X-Men films made since X-Men 2 but I thought this one was pretty good. The casting was spot on, Fassbender in particular was brilliant. Decent story, fairly predictable but as a prequel it was always going to be. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.T Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 He certainly wasn't the bald, crippled eunuch we all came to love in Patrick Stewart but I still thought he was OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessies long lost ghost Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The Road To Perdition - 8 / 10 - long time since I seen this. Very good movie with exceptional performances from Hanks, Law and the late great Paul Newman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I watched Raging Bull for the first time ever last night. Thought De Niro was brilliant, but just didn't think it was a great film, but I'm not a fan in general of Boxing type films like Rocky etc. 6/10 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker_d Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Adventureland Quite enjoyed this. Casting was excellent, Jesse Eisenberg got to be a bit geeky and Kristen Stewart got to be a moody cow. Almost forgot it was supposed to be set in the 80's but soundtrack was excellent. Nice wee film. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Inside Man - the twist was too unrealistic - 6 / 10 If I was Denzel Washington I'd buy every copy of that so it didn't tarnish a brilliant filmography. Such a poor film with a big name cast! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Captain America - 3/10 Just rubbish.

WILLIEA Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kingdom of Heaven. It was ok but Orlando Bloom was pretty weak as the main character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
