Lisandro Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Shame I must start by talking about Micheal Fassbenders performance. It is magnificent, and the fact he wasn't given a nomination is disgusting. I thought the film was well written and directed. It is another film which shows how an addiction can completely ruin a persons life. But it was refreshing to see a addiction story that wasn't based around drugs or alcohol. I did find some of hard to watch, which is something I don't normally find. I am not sure why though. But again, Fassbender was outstanding. 8.5/10 Prometheus Unlike many others, I didn't go into the film expecting it to be like Alien or have any real connection to Alien. I took it has a stand alone story. It was visually stunning and epic. The characters were rather forgettable but I wasn't expecting a serious character driven plot. I found the story to be interesting but there were some plot holes. Also, I found some of the story really forced. It was a good sci-fi film. Nothing outstanding but enjoyable. But, Fassbender's performance was one of the main highlights. 7/10 Inglorious Basterds I do enjoy Tarantino's films and this was no different. It was a good and fun film, which clearly didn't take it self seriously. Christopher Waltz was fantastic in it. Stole every scene he was in. It is nowhere near one of Tarantino's best films, but it is still very good. I also enjoyed how Tarantino split the story into chapters, it did stop the film from becoming a mess. 7/10 Edited June 8, 2012 by Lisandro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Philadelphia. Tom Hanks is a homosexual lawyer who gets AIDS and gets fired from his job, he then sues the practice(not sure if that's the right word) because he thinks it was because he was gay and had AIDS. He hired Densel Washington to defend him and it's mostly about the court case. Really good. Hanks is tremendous and Washington puts in a great showing, something I've never really found with him. Great story and some good courtroom drama thrown in. 7/10. Slither. Michael Rooker becomes infected with an alien parasite and his wife, Elizabeth Banks and local cop, Nathon Fillian, need to fight it. It's really funny with a twist of horror thrown in. The effects and whatnot aren't great but it's hilarious so I guess that probably is meant to add to the comedy. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunfellaff Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Bullit Took me a while to get into the film, but by the end I was quite liking it. I'm sure it was ground breaking at the time, but certainly one I could watch again. 7/10 Try 'Vanishing Point' (1971?) version............. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Melancholia ( 2011 ) Wow. One of them ones that creeps up on you even after you've watched it. I slowly realised I had watched something fairly special. The main plot revolves around Kirsten Dunst's wedding, and her relationship with her sister, but there's also the mystery of the planet seemingly getting closer to earth, which in turn only adds to the main plot. The performances of pretty much everyone are pretty special. I think it could have done without the pointless opening part. I'm not going to take anything away for that though, because anything less than a perfect score would do this movie a MASSIVE injustice. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Trust- 8/10 About a 14 year old who meets someone online, then meets him and discovers that he's actually 35. He rapes her but she's still convinced that he actually loves and cares for her. Was sitting absolutely disgusted at some parts but completely gripped by it at the same time. Just watched this as it sounded interesting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was almost crying at a few parts along with the characters but managed to compose myself. Great storyline, a film which portrays very well the feelings of everyone involved. I think Clive Owen's especially brilliant in it, but all the characters and actors who played them are fantastic. I'd give it a 9/10. It's horrible when you see the rape through his video camera, unexpected and sickening. Clever at the end when you see the home footage of "Charlie" as well. Makes you wonder if he will ever be caught. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Surveillance ( 2008 ) Things take a wee down turn here. Okay, this is still a fun ride. Basically, two FBI agents are investigating a bunch of killings, and have a bunch of witnesses to question and we see things through their eyes. It all goes a bit mental and gets a bit unintentionally hilarious, but in this film's case, it kinda adds to the charm, so I can live with it. All in all, I quite enjoyed this. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Moonrise Kingdom Classic quirky Wes Anderson, exactly what you expect from him, with a few extra surprises. My favourite thing about it is the range of brilliant conflicting characters whose interactions are explosive and a joy to watch- Edward Norton's very serious scoutmaster was a particular favourite. Children doing mature things is usually a bit of a cheap laugh but it works brilliantly here, largely thanks to some excellent child acting. It is a ridiculous film and not at all in a bad way, that's what it has in its favour. The comic mannerisms and set pieces were brilliant but it was a bit too obviously cool and cute throughout, and even though that's pretty much what it's meant to be, it doesn't appeal to me as much. 6.5/10 The Angels' Share Much more my thing, right up my street. And an absolute treat. Ken Loach just never disappoints me, everything he involves himself in is golden. Intentionally or not, it's a crowd-pleaser for all Glaswegians (to most people here it's observational comedy), but it's so much more than that- philosophical, tangible, empathetic, heart-wrenching and - most importantly, and effectively - genuine. I've heard it hailed as this generation's The Full Monty, but for me it's got the exact Trainspotting moral of the search for criminal redemption and reformation (in Scotland), with the loveable wrongdoer persona of one of my childhood favourites, Ocean's Eleven. I'm a sucker for flawed heroes. Quick addition about the players: Paul Brannigan was a great wee find for the lead role, a really nice performance which although authentic and pitch perfect wasn't the most challenging. John Henshaw never ceases to be likeable, trustworthy and hilarious- delivers those one-liners like a stand-up comedian! Nice novelty having Ford Kiernan's instantly recognisable voice at the start, too. Those little touches, among others, galvanise my score for this film. 10/10 Edited June 12, 2012 by Albino Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The Grey A good bit deeper than your usual action flick and all the better for it. Some of the scenes - in particular the plane crash - are outstandingly well done and some are downright unnerving. The wolves are easily identified as computerised though and Dermot Mulroney is badly underused but overall an enjoyable film. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drs Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The Social Network - shall we say a rather glib attempt to cover the creation of Facebook and why some friends became billionaires and why some other friends didnt. Much like social networking this looks good but has a hollow heart. There is some sterling work going on from the actors but its all just so inconsequential in a film that is clearly tailored to actually not give any answers, as the final scene with the jury selector reveals the whole point of the movie - who cares about the truth when I can get you to think the way I want without actually telling you anything. Its technically well done as you'd expect from the director of Alien3 and Seven and the writer of The West Wing but its all gloss and no substance. And the Sorkin cameo is one of those smug pieces of film making bullshite that should have been vetoed at the ideas stage. And I'm never sure why I'm supposed to care about a character who is too stupid to read the contract he is presented with before signing. 7/10 - could do better, more a facemash than a facebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
