Albino Rover Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Watched this last night ( Interstellar ) and have to say I was pretty disappointed with it.... I think a lot of it felt forced and the story didn't run very smoothly - I wouldn't recommend it - 5/10 I agree with this, Mike. I just saw it in IMAX- it was a treat for the eyes and ears but excessive, over-expository and rather meaningless. My accompanying friend fawned over its ambition but I thought it was big-scale bullshit. It was a big disappointment but I'll be slightly more generous than you- 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 So it's basically your average Christopher Nolan movie then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkston5 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 So it's basically your average Christopher Nolan movie then? ^^ This I think Inception is THE most overrated film ever. Films like "Twelve Monkeys" were ignored back then and then this type of average fare is elevated to "classic" status 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Fully expecting the Memento hate to kick in soon. He's forgotten more about filmmaking than...err...half past three, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nearly forgot about this. The Skeleton Twins Brother and sister reunite when the brother tries to kill himself and the sister gets a call from the hospital. It's a pretty fine movie. Tries a bit too hard to pull on the heart strings, but hey, if it works, I suppose you can't complain too much. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that's probably one of his two movies that I really enjoyed. That and Insomnia. I think he's tried to then go for a bigger approach and it doesn't really seem to be his thing. But he's persisting with it. As he should. It's making him a fuckton of money. EDIT: Worth noting that I've enjoyed most of his movies, but they've all got the same problems. Apart from Inception, which is one big problem. Edited November 16, 2014 by NewDomDom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Grudgematch Comedy with De Niro and Stallone as a couple of ex fighters with a score to settle , of course both picked in relation to their famous boxing movies and their are some nice moments to connect the films, its one of those films which is enjoyable enough but never going to stay in the memory for too long, both actors seem to be enjoying themselves in the role which is perhaps the points of it, some funny enough moments and in fairness some old school movie fighting. 5.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Secret life of Walter Mitty Really enjoyed it. Thought Ben Stiller was great as the day dreaming main character. Some beautiful scenery as well throughout the film 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Zombieland - 7/10 For some reason I find Jesse Eisenberg as an incredibly funny guy, Emma Stone is as always, brilliant.Best Part: The Cameo of Bill Murray 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Bit of an older film but just watched "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" on Netflix. That was an outstanding film. I've never read the book but I think I will do after this. I've never been so taken back and in shock as the credits rolled in in my entire life. 10/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book is even better, as the contrast between the boys perceptions and what the reader can work out is such that you wish someone, anyone, could stop the inevitable. You end up caring more about one innocent (from the "other" side ) than the millions, which is downright weird. Sorry if that's a wee bit spoilery, but obviously the story is the same and both book and film have been around for a while now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrybiy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 The Sixth Sense - 7/10 I've decided to go back and watch some of the 'must sees' and this falls into that category. I know it's not really considered a horror but it could've done with a couple more scares, watched it on netflix and it froze during two of the tense scenes which kind of ruined it The fact that I already knew the twist obviously had an effect on how much I enjoyed it, although my girlfriend who apparently didn't know guessed it after about half an hour. Still a decent watch that would probably be a lot more hard hitting if it had a better ending and I didn't know the twist because I watched it 15 years after everyone else.Next is Psycho or Bad Neighbours. I've been putting Bad Neighbours off for about 2 months now because I just know it's going to be a run of the mill shite comedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Mystery Road 7/10 Aussie thriller about a moider of a young aboroginal girl in some impoverished backwater in Queensland. One cop is trying to solve it, the others are a bit dodgy trying to cover things up. The neighbourhood is all hush hush for fear of getting their head mashed in by gangsters. Gritty but slightly slow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
