BFTD Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Oldboy Bit late to the party with this one, but f**k me was it worth the wait. A fantastic Korean film with stunning cinematography, immense acting and a sensational plot. And the twist? Left me speechless. I'd say it was a 9/10 film, but the moment has to make it a 10/10. Unforgettable. I'll be one of those dicks that claims they saw the twist coming, but that didn't change the fact that it's a cracking film. Looking forward to Spike Lee's remake coming out on DVD, as I enjoy being offended by shite retreads of the classics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Tropic Thunder - didn't know this is where that "never go full retard" meme comes from. Decent Hollywood spoof totally stolen by Robert Downey Jr. Starting to think that watching spoof trailers would be more entertaining than most movies. Quote from BigFatTabbyWife after realising who Les Grossman was played by - "I wonder if they all believe in aliens?" Sorority Row - Exactly how it sounds; slasher movie in a sorority house. Group of bitches (and their wanky boyfriends) totally have the piss murdered out of them until they're aw deid. Slightly better than the average, until spectacularly losing the plot towards the end. It's impossible to have a satisfying reveal these days; they'd be as well to unveil the perpetrator as a rotten cabbage for all the difference it would make. Snake Eyes - Nice wee De Palma mystery thriller about an assassination at a casino boxing match. Not stellar, but pretty entertaining until the mystery is solved, and the story's quite nicely framed until the straightforward final third. Added bonus that I didn't want to set Nicolas Cage on fire, which is the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen the original though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Deep Impact - part of the pre-Millennium cinematic build-up to inevitable doomsday. We're still here; it totally didn't happen. Giant Rock is heading for Earth - oh noes! President Morgan Freeman will surely save us or, at least, stop us from caring with that voice! Sadly, large parts of the movie contain no Morgan Freeman, instead focusing on a surprisingly slow-moving plod toward The End Of All Life. Will the various plans to throw explosions at The Rock pay off? Will you still be awake enough to smell what The Rock is cookin'? Probably not. Wes Craven's New Nightmare - the titular director's first stab at postmodern horror before hitting the mark with Scream. Freddy Kreuger attempts to enter the real world and begins to terrorise those involved in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Multiple cameos from both sides of the camera abound, but sadly no Johnny Depp. The film has an unfocused feel and just degenerates into a standard Elm Street, without bettering any of the ones that came before. Also has a bit of a TV movie feel to it; strange, considering it didn't have a lower budget than the others. I have a problem with the Freddy Krueger films in general, TBH. The character's backstory is so horrible (and inkeeping with Wes Craven's earlier work) that it seems very strange to turn him into a gurning clown. The real horror's already happened by the opening titles. Jason X - Utterly glorious comedy installment of the Friday the 13th series. Gives up all pretense of being a horror movie by sending our boy Jason into space in the 25th century. The whole thing's played for laughs, from the crew of the spaceship down to the tremendously OTT murders. The immortal psychotic is even woken from cryogenic sleep by a vague sense that somebody, somewhere, is having premarital sex. Ridiculous plot holes only add to the fun, and you'll go mad trying to work out where you've seen most of the cast before. Easily the best in the series. Always an absolute joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The Amazing Spider-man 2 I really enjoyed the first on, so when the second one was released I was quite excited. With 3 villains I was scared it was going to be like Spider-man 3. Thankfully it was better, a lot better. A few characters could have done with more/ less screen time. However, I'm looking forward to the next movie. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X is good but V is the best. Particular the Jason as James Bond part of the opening title sequence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Anchorman 2 Was really looking forward to this as Anchorman is one of my favourite films but it was a massive disappointed. Not many laugh out loud moments and the story just became ridiculous. Brick saved it a little 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 9 - animated movie. Not bad little story. Superb graphics. 7/10. Elysium - had to watch this as I love "District 9". Story is standard sci-fi fare. The special effects are very good and fight scenes are what you expect, very gory. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) The photo album. The one-shot fight scene is also legendary. What didn't you like about the film Jimmy? Edited April 30, 2014 by Albino Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
