Raidernation Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 ON TV recently so DVR'd Sherlock Homes 7/10. RD Jr was good fun, and pace was good throughout Game of Shadows 7/10. More of the same, possibly a bit more lighthearted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just seen the last of The Hobbit films at the pictures. As much of a disappointment as the previous 2. This is probably the nerdiest thing I've ever said, but The Hobbit films have been more of a let down in comparison to their original trilogy than the Star Wars prequels were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good thing about The Hobbit movies was the dragon. LOTR >>>>> The Hobbit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyarabnuts Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The Book Thief, pretty good, obviously not as good as the book 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The Interview Some decent moments. Usually enjoy Seth Rogen movies for a laugh but didn't find this that funny. I think the controversy surrounding the movie will be kind to it in terms of people wanting to go and see it. 5/10. Gone Girl Enjoyed it mostly. Agree with the above post earlier about the meeting between the two main characters being annoying. Struggled to like anyone at first but it grew on me. Nice twists and kept you interested but the ending left me quite dissatisfied. Don't want to be too picky so I think I'll just edge it up to 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Flight 8/10. Excellent portrayal of an alcoholic, only slightly let down by the kind-of-obvious last 10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You better hope he doesn't find out about Ghostquake! Ghostly earthquakes! Inexplicably, Danny Trejo of Con Air and Machete fame agreed to star in it! Da f**k?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tusk :| Absolutely fucked up. I wish I could unsee it. Not in that it was bad, but the walrus suit is just insanely disgusting. Johnny Depp is superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Anyone seen Miss Violence? It's a Greek movie which appears to have gained a bit of attention. It's also turned up on Netflix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Perhaps not Deep Blue Sea then! That twitching detached arm! Eek! Weirdly, he's not that interested in Deep Blue Sea. Probably the most entertaining shark movie I've seen after Jaws. He liked the parrot (probably because we have one), but was strangely disinterested in the rest. The kid likes his shark movies cheap and cheesy, apparently As a fan of dreadful films, I'd like to see Bruno Mattei's Cruel Jaws - an (apparently) awful movie that he had the cheek to take to Universal after completion as a potential Jaws 5! I've seen a few of the man's films now, and I can't imagine how amused the Universal execs must have been at the ineptitude on display. Can't find it to rent anywhere, sadly, and I'm loathe to spend money on buying it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sharknado > Jaws IMO. No you don't The wean quite liked it, though, but hasn't shown interest in seeing it again. Might see how he fancies Sharknado 2 this evening. I thought Tara Reid was oddly underused in the first though, like they only signed her on at the last minute and shoved her character in as a tag-along. She was very believable as an archaeologist in Alone in the Dark. *struggles to keep a straight face* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Absolutely - goes for any foreign language films really. Hate dubs. Remember how they used to be all the rage? Thankfully, more enlightened times, etc. Don't know if it's changed, but they were still popular in the States back at the beginning of the century. You could always spot a trailer for a subtitled movie by the fact there was no dialogue spoken throughout; a trait that seems to have spread over here, sadly. Once saw half the audience get up and walk out of a screening of Brotherhood of the Wolf when the subtitles kicked in. All the more tragic, considering what a cracking action movie that turned out to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I watched Blair with project a few times and realised how un scary and daft it was Think i will get rid of netflix and get spotify for easy access to tunes instead Switch to American Netflix. Just did it myself and, hoo-baby! The catalogue of movies is about four or five times bigger, and not stuffed full of Sci-Fi Channel shite like it is here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A Long Way Down. 6/10 Some funny moments but Pierce Brosnan's accent just annoyed the fcuk out of me the whole way through. That and kind of hoping Aaron Paul would finish at least one sentence with the word "bitch", which he never did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Inside man - 8/10 Good film with a decent storyline. Interesting how it all unfolds. Conspiracy - 6/10 The storyline was again pretty good, but it just really dwindled on and some of the scenes were poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
