BFTD Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Troll Hunter - From the "found footage" film genre, set in Norway about three college students making a documentary about a suspected bear poacher only to find out he is in fact a government troll hunter. Graphics aren't the greatest, and if you are not a fan of subtitles it might not be for you, but overall it's pretty enjoyable. 6/10. Apparently Neil "The Descent" Marshall is lined up to direct the inevitable American remake, which certainly isn't bad news. Love that film 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that film I don't know what to make of the news about an American remake, aye, I dare say the graphics will be fantastic, but I have a feeling it will be the usual 'Americans save the day' w**k fest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More interested in the (again, inevitable) Norwegian sequel, but hopefully Marshall will be able to do his own thing and not just trot out a Psycho-style retread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottxs Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Just back from a holiday in orlando so the last film I watched was the new turtles film. Not bad but not great either. Better than the original tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the trailer a while back and thought it looked quite generic, so that is indeed impressive. Will take everyone's word for it and have a look when the opportunity arises. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banterous Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's a few things. Generic isn't one of them. Yeah The Cabin in the Woods was one that mixed genres but I found it pretty tedious in the end and ott. The Guest is genuinely entertaining 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A Most Wanted Man A fine movie. Certainly a bit on the talky side but it's very well written and the plot keeps it very simple but also involving. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Bad Neighbours - 7/10. Lone Survivor - 7/10. Maybe a bit generous for both but they were pretty decent ways to waste a couple of hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 World War Z - Poorly paced, script is poor and Brad Pitts family are utterly annoying. Saying that some of the action sequences are well done. Didn't want to compare it to other zombie films but definitely felt 28 Days did this genre a million times better for a fraction of the budget. 5/10 Ferris Buellers Day Off - First time seeing this and get why it's well loved. Enjoyable and pretty entertaining on the most part. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Willow Creek A decent addition to the found footage genre, as a couple go to where footage of Bigfoot was shot, and things go downhill for them. The big climax is a bit shoddy, but before that they ratchet up the tension in spades, and there's a particularly fantastic 15 minute scene which is all sorts of tense. 7/10 The Children A British horror movie where kids get sick and attack their parents. It's pretty straight forward stuff and we don't really find out the deal with them, but it's good stuff all the same. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Walk among the tombstones. 6/10 Liam Neeson as a private detective hired by a drug dealer to track down whoever kidnapped and murdered their wife. Decent film, these roles are perfect for Neeson. His character is a lot more laid back in this one to taken. Apparently based on a novel which i presume gives a lot more detail to certain plot lines, there were a few unanswered questions at the end. Mega tense film though, eerie music through the entire thing and a lot of it is at night so you're always waiting on someone jumping out. Whether that happens or not i can't say though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Grand Piano 6.5/10 Decent-ish b movie with Elijah Wood playing a concert pianist who's a target for a sniper, played by John Cusack. Bill from Bill and Ted is in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The amazing Spider-Man 2 - didn't think it was up to much Forrest Gump was also on film four last night, fantastic film. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it - great performance by Tom Hanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banterous Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Maps to the Stars - David Cronenberg's latest film about the weird and sick World that Hollywood life consists of. To reveal the plot outline would be to give too much away but incest, sexual promiscuity, murder and a bit of animal cruelty/brutality give you a clue that this isn't a retread of "The Player". It's more like a horror film in its truest sense and the black humour is perfectly contained therein. Watch out for Jullianne Moore who plays a faded actress and narcissistic sociopath who despite her abhorrent behaviour deserves a very very tiny bit of sympathy. John Cusack plays a ridiculous new age parasite who lives off his child's acting. Brilliant, compelling and shocking. 9/10 Edited September 30, 2014 by Banterous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Borat - fake Kazakh journalist tours America under the guise of research for his home country. Wow, this wasn't what I was expecting at all. Everything I'd heard was that this was a humorous exercise in encouraging people to reveal their unpleasant views, but there's actually very little of that, and the Americans generally come off fairly well. The film actually comes over as Sacha Baron Cohen taking out revenge against a patriotic Kazakh bigot/PE teacher that humiliated him in school, because most of the film is trying to get laughs from his vicious vision of a real country that few in the West (Cohen included, one suspects) know anything about. For me, most of the funny stuff comes from Borat's interaction with his producer ("f**k off, Death"), who has the most spectacular pair of tits I've ever seen on a man. Also, it's pretty clear that Cohen's vision of Kazakhstan is based on Fife, which is frankly outrageous and the Kingdom has my sympathy for this slur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
