LBC-91 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Another top performance from Di Caprio. Loved it. You don't like Goodfellas, excuse me? Edited January 27, 2014 by LBC-91 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 That's me now seen Taxi Driver, Goodfella's and the above and found none of them to be that great. I don't like Di Caprio either. He's a w**k. Unpopular opinions. Any explanation why you don't like them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 World War Z 4/10 Could have been good, but in the end it was just rubbish, what was the point in him having a family? It added nothing to the story 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Charles Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Unpopular opinions. Any explanation why you don't like them? Just never took to them. Only seen them both once, all the way through. I was only 17 or something when I watched Taxi Driver, so I'd need to watch it again. But it just seemed a bit weird and boring. Not much seemed to happen until the end. Goodfellas enjoyable enough, just can't see why it's seen as an all time great. I'm not good at analyzing films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 One quality all the Scorsese films share is that you can watch them five times and they get better each time, so re-watch them for best results. I wasn't crazy about Goodfellas the first time I saw it either, but now it'd be in my top 20 or 30 films of all time, and Taxi Driver is one of my favourite films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Cant say I'm a major fan of Taxi Driver either. Goodfellas I can watch over and over again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Narc - Gritty cop drama with Ray Liotta and Jason Patric who play two cops investigating the death of an undercover policeman. Liotta gave a decent account of himself and there were some good moments, good ending . by and large though it had a ploddish feel to it ,watchable enough . 6/10 Unstoppable - Denzel Washington plays the role of a hard bitten train driver( I didn't know there was such a thing either) who along with rookie train driver Chris Pine end up trying to stop a runaway train . Silly kind of stuff althouh Denzel is excellent as ever. Story full of holes but it was ok. 5.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Last Vegas - 8/10 Went to see this on Friday night and it did exactly what I wanted it to. Long week at work, just wanted a decently made film to make me laugh and I wasn't really that bothered if it was a bit predictable (which it was). Great cast and just made me want to go back to Vegas again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 World War Z 4/10 Could have been good, but in the end it was just rubbish, what was the point in him having a family? It added nothing to the story Jack from Lost kidnaps them or something and that was supposed to be part of the sequel but it's fallen through I think. It's an absolute mess of a film with so much obviously cut from the final edit. It does have some good set pieces though. The scaled down final scenes, Jerusalem and the plane attack are quite good but apart from that it's poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Last Vegas - 8/10 I love seeing Morgan Freeman appear in comedies. In fact, any film with Morgan Freeman does it for me. Also, despite being 39 years my senior, Mary Steenburgen would get it. Edited January 27, 2014 by Coooombe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Dallas Buyers Club Very enjoable and you can see why it's in amongst the Oscars. McConaughy and Jared Leto are both actors I wouldn't normally have a lot of time for but they are both excellent in this, I wouldn't say either of their performances were Oscar worthy but they were both still very good. A very interesting story which works really well as a film. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footiechick Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 August:Osage County 7.5/10 If you think your family is dysfunctional, go and see this and thank god they aren't as bad as this one! Some funny moments - not something I would normally go and see but quite enjoyable. Ewan McGregor is still terrible at an American accent though. I just don't like Juliette Lewis either. I thought Julia Roberts was the best in this film, Streep has got the Oscar nod though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it all take place in real time over the course of 130 minutes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancied her rotten when she was on neighbours so you can imagine my delight when I saw this film!!
