Sloop John B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Went on a massive film watching session yesterday Trainspotting (1996) Fantastic film, a real rollercoaster ride, the first film I've seen where Ewan Mcgregor wasn't utter gash. 8.5/10 Shaun of the Dead (2004) Another great watch, clever and well written and is a nice satire of Zombie films 9/10 21 Jump Street (2012) I didn't realise it was a reboot film, So the original jokes i missed out on but it was quite clever looking back at it. 6.5/10 Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)- Jason Segal is probably the best comedic actor when it comes to portraying mental breakdowns, Russell Brand was bearable as well. 8/10 Get Him to the Greek (2010) - admittedly I was concerned about the cast and Russell Brand holding a film apart but this was the role he was born to play. P Diddy was pretty funny and Jonah Hill was Jonah hill. 7/10 Harold and Kumar Escape Guantamino Bay (2008) -As a H&K film you know what you are getting, maybe not as good as the first one but the fact it is the best satire of America's war on terror and modern day racism is surprising. Shouldn't be dismissed as simply a dumb stoner comedy. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segel is the man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewbo Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My second favourite film, for some reason, I just love it. Segel is the man. Amazing film, its impossible to dislike it. Ms Bell + Ms Kunis = Heaven (probably would with Brand and Segal aswell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kujabi_Kujabyou Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Naruto Shippuuden Movie 5: Blood Prison. Giving this one 7/10, decent storyline Naruto has been framed for a crime he didn't commit and sent to a prison where escape is impossible. Cue lots of destruction and long epic fight scenes in which everyone is amazed that he is so powerful. Usual stuff which is to be expected from this where the main theme running is either love, hate, revenge or bravery in this case it's overcoming your fears or be it not afraid of death to protect those you love...d'awwww. All in all decent movie but the others for me are slightly better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Frozen - Received fairy mixed reviews online and to be honest I'm not sure what else could be done with such a simple plot which consisted of 3 people stuck halfway up a mountain on a chair lift. The characters were likeable enough. The dialogue was a bit of a let down and considering there was only 3 characters for the most part it should have really been a lot stronger. 5/10 Panic Button - A British independent film and an utterly garbage one at that. As someone alluded to earlier its sort of Saw on a plane. Trys too hard to convey some sort of 'social networks are evil' message. Poor acting and one of the most bizarre endings I've ever witnessed 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Totally forgot this thread even existed, so I'll just a selection of films which I've seen recently for the first time. Moon (2009) - 9/10 - Atmospheric, clever story with a really nice twist, this definitely goes straight in as one of my favourite space movies of all time. Equilibrium (2002) - 6/10 - It was a really good idea, but I don't think it was executed as well as it could've been. Still worth watching, but the plot and characters could've been a little deeper, The Mist (2007) - 8/10 - Enjoyable film, found it hard to like many of the characters barring the leading guy. The monsters were really cool, and the ending was absolutely shocking (in the disturbing sense). Edited to bump The Mist from a 7 to and 8.

wunfellaff Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The Dictator (2012) You could imagine Peter Sellers doing this in the 1960's, except it would have been funny. 2.5/10 for a couple of minor laughs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sugden Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Watched the 40 year virgin last night. That chest hair scene is horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utdtillidie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Battleships - 7/10 Does exactly what it says on the tin. Trying to think of other games that could be made into a film. Risk might work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Along Came A Spider (2001) - 6.5/10 - Freeman was good in this film, despite the fact that in every single one of his roles he plays Morgan Freeman rather than a specific character (probably because he's in the top 5 coolest people ever) , but it suits well here. Strange twist but not a bad watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groaninjock Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 2001: A Space Odyssey - 2/10 Watched this for the first time last night. It's one of my favourite books but I thought the movie was pish. Pretentious as hell, just a couple of hours of Kubrick wanking over his own 'genius'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik's tongue Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 2001: A Space Odyssey - 2/10 Watched this for the first time last night. It's one of my favourite books but I thought the movie was pish. Pretentious as hell, just a couple of hours of Kubrick wanking over his own 'genius'. Yeah he did that with The Shining as well. Apparently Stephen King was bemused (raging) about the changes he made. Although not a bad film in its own right it is totally different from the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a bad film in its own right it is totally different from the book. I think in recent years King has softened his view on the film, but I believe he's been trying to get a more faithful adaptation on the screen too. Whilst the book and film differ greatly, they're both brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lau03143 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Treasure Guards A cross between Tomb Raider and The Da Vinci Code starring Anna Friel. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds. 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
