BFTD Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just wrote a wee paragraph about the Red Dawn remake. The wireless connection on this piece of shit elderly netbook died before I clicked 'Post', so my prose is lost to the ether Suffice to say that it was shit, and so was the film. And this fucking computer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Megafault The usual TV movie balls from The Asylum, with poor acting and CG galore. This one was obviously made to cash in on the publicity from 2012, and is naturally about giant earthquakes destroying America. It's about what you'd expect; not quite as bad as their early efforts, but still nothing like a 'proper' movie. The most notable part is the star, Brittany Murphy. This was one of her last jobs, and she looks ill throughout. The degree of sickliness fluctuates over the course of the running time, and there's clearly been some dreadfully hamfisted attempts to cover it up with poor make-up. She seems a touch 'off' in her performance too. Considering how things turned out for the girl, it makes for a disquieting experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utter classic as were many of Arnie's 80s and early 90s movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Finding Nemo - 5/10. First time seeing this and struggling to find why this film was so lauded. Pretty pish apart from the turtles. Duuuuude. Lego Movie 4/10: Meh, what was all the fuss about? Will depend if you are in the target audience, just a thought 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 The Wolverine A bit slow to start with but decent enough, basically just stretching out the X-Men franchise out as much as they can, doesn't really add anything to the Wolverine character but watchable and entertaining enough. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Will depend if you are in the target audience, just a thought I'm not in the target audience and the Lego Movie is fucking great. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Will depend if you are in the target audience, just a thought Don't think I am, but that's never stopped me from enjoying films before. I just didn't think it was that good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm not in the target audience, but it's never stopped me enjoying a good romantic period drama. Wait...sorry, I'm getting mixed up with lesbian porn. It's a fair point, carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 What We Do in the Shadows A mockumentary about a group of vampires in New Zealand. This is really fucking funny. It's the folk that do Flight of the Conchords that made this. This will either help you go see it or not, but regardless of if you're a fan or not, there's bound to be a lot to like in this. 9/10 I was a bit disappointed with this. Don't get me wrong, there was quite a few very funny moments in it but I do feel that the joke was stretched pretty thin by the end. I can't help feeling that it would've worked better as a shorter TV program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Grotesque - a young couple are kidnapped by a mysterious doctor, who subjects them to torture in order to satisfy his perverted desire for excitement. I think this ended up on my watch list because it was the last film to be flat-out refused a certificate in the UK; no resubmission with cuts, no possibility of compromise, do not pass Go, do not collect £200. Naturally, that's the kind of thing that grabs the attention of tragic figures like myself, but it's actually fairly meaningless. There are hundreds of films that wouldn't be allowed a UK release for various reasons - the only reason those films haven't been refused a certificate is that nobody was stupid enough to bother submitting them to the BBFC for release in the first place. So, Grotesque holds the current record for having the daftest rights holders in the UK. Bravo. The thematic reason for refusal is pretty clearly sexual humiliation, although the relentless wallowing in senseless misery would no doubt tick the old 'deprave and corrupt' box on its own. Grotesque is part of that peculiarly Japanese subgenre that can accurately be called 'torture porn'; films in which there is no real plot, you're just there to see people being tortured in as realistic a fashion as possible. No doubt there's a fair amount of artistry goes into the special effects, but you see one of these things and you've seen them all. And probably wish you hadn't bothered in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The Inbetweeners 2 Hit and miss really, slightly more hit though. I thought this was better than the first movie tbh, my friends disagree. I'm glad that they're completely done with it now as I think I'd grow tired of the characters if they took it any further. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 22 Jump Street Another sequel better than the original. Great plot once again, very funny and had some decent action scenes. Tatum & Hill playing another blinder! I do admire them taking the piss out of theirselves in the credits! 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
