The Minertaur Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kingsman. What a film. By far and away the best film I've seen this year. There is one scene that all Hearts fans will enjoy! 9/10 for me. No faults. Just good old fashioned fighting mixed in with some fancy gadgets. Go see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Calvary - 8/10. Excellent film. Very funny but pretty sad. I absolutely love films with dark humour and a bleak end with this ticking those boxes. Gleeson is also a really great and likeable actor. Brilliant film, I'd recommend The Guard as well if you've not seen it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by identical you mean at their best amazing and at their worst, easily watchable, then yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Brilliant film, I'd recommend The Guard as well if you've not seen it. The Guard is a much better film, Calvary was bit mixed up tonally imo and the ending left a sour taste but I suppose that was intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Edge of Tomorrow- 6.5/10. Basically a modern Groundhog Day, except the end goal is to kill aliens instead of pump Andie MacDowell. An enjoyable wee film, nothing special though. As with most time travel films the ending slightly confused me. ETA- I had a wee snigger when Emily Blunt told Tom Cruise to 'be specific.'

JogaBonito Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Akira 7/10 Dystopian Japan, 30 years after world war III.. troubled boy from bike gangs becomes empowered with special powers and tries to enact revenge on the world. Ponyo 6/10 Boys befriends a magical fish, who desires to become human. Cute but there's something missing. Everything seemed totally superficial. Hobbit 2 4/10 Went back to it and watched the full thing. Boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A Most Violent Year 7.5/10 Went to Cinema pretty tired and really went tonight as be last chance I would get to see it. A good film and a refreshing new take on the american dream being achieved without bullying others perhaps a naive perspective for the time but interesting. Ex Machine 6/10 Was ok but never felt gripped at any moment and felt like it was wasn't really anything that hadn't been done before and better. Foxcatcher 8/10 Good film Carrell really showed he can be much more than just a funny guy. Birdman 7.5/10 Was a good film but just has been over-hyped. Very well acted but not really a story to tell just an orgy of strong acting and great camera work and some general randomness . It mixes together nicely for what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Coming of age drama that stars Emma Watson. Pretty decent effort with a good storyline.

WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Coming of age drama that stars Emma Watson. Pretty decent effort with a good storyline. Pleasant way to spend nearly 2 hours 7/10 I remember enjoying this, but being irrationally irritated at kids who are "into music" not knowing the "tunnel song". A cut above most of its type, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The Gambler - 6/10. Mark Wahlberg stars as a professor of English with a rather big gambing problem. Ends up in debt to people and had 7 days to pay the money back. Entertaining but not entirely was I was expecting. My mate who also saw it said it was excellent but he had no idea what the film was about before he went. Only downside was turning up to the cinema without my Cineworld card as my girlfriend had it in her jacket pocket. Thank Christ for Orange Wednesdays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The Thing - Better than Alien IMO, some absolutely gruesome scenes. 8/10 The Imitation Game - 8/10 American Sniper - Bradley Cooper puts in a good performance but apart from that I actually found it surprisingly boring. Just didn't really work as a film for me. 5/10 Boyhood - Some of the characters are a bit annoying but a very well made film, deserves all the critical attention it's getting. 8/10 Birdman - Absolutely brilliant, so many good performances and much funnier than I was expecting it to be. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Right, I've seen my first Oscar nominee. The Theory of Everything - Lovely film. Eddie Redmayne puts in the performance of his career and Felicity Jones is also excellent as his wife Jane. Having said that, I don't think that this film will win the 'Best Picture' Oscar. The script is decent enough, but it's the acting which really holds it together and turns it into something of a tour de force. I doubt I'll see many performances as good as Redmayne's and he may well have a serious shot of winning the award for 'Best Actor in a Leading Role'. I found myself feeling quite emotional on a few occasions, yet there were also occasions when I felt a little bit distanced from the action. It sometimes had the feel of a very watchable BBC TV drama, one which I'd enjoy whilst also feeling somewhat inclined to flick to another channel every now and then. The focus on Hawking's personal life sometimes detracted from his scientific achievements. I have little interest or knowledge relating to the field of physics or science as a whole, and I can't say that this film gave much more insight to an ignorant neanderthal like myself. I don't have a clue what Hawking actually believes. In the context of the film, he seemed to change his mind every five minutes or so. It was a well-made film and the script was good enough to incite sympathy not just for Hawking. Felicity Jones' character was fleshed out really well and her struggles could really be understood. A very good watch overall, and a solid score from me. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Birdman It is incredible. Not much else needs to be said really. It's one of the best films I've seen in recent years, and it goes alongside There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men as a genuine classic of the 21st century. Emma Stone should really be getting that Supporting Actress Oscar ahead of Patricia Arquette and Keira Knightley (who I wasn't particularly impressed with tbh). It won't happen though.
