mizfit Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Notorious: Based on The true story of Christopher Wallace AKA the Notorious B.I.G, his rise from a teenage father and crack dealer to one of the biggest rap artists of all time. Good time filler when having a few beers at your friends. The real footage at the end is pretty mental. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm a massive Family Guy fan, but I thought Ted was awful so I didn't bother seeing this. Maybe I should give it a try. Don't bother, it's like one of the episodes of Family Guy where most of the jokes don't come off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 '71 Excellent drama with Jack O'Connell as a UK soldier caught up in the troubles in Belfast. Thought it was excellent. 8/10 maybe could've done with a sub plot or a twist? I really enjoyed it too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Iceman; Based on a true story about Richard Kuklinski, a hired assassin for the mob in New Jersey. portrait by Michael Shannon (Aka -Agent Nelson Van Alden in Boardwalk Empire). The film has a decent cast with Winona Ryder as his wife, Ray Llotta as his mob boss, Chris Evans as a rival assassin, David Schwimmer (Friends) & John Ventimiglia (Sopranos) as wiseguys and Robert Davi as a rival mob boss. I thought Shannon potrait Kulinski brilliantly. He seems to be made for these psychotic roles. Definitely a film that's worth watching if you're into your gangster films & aren't squeamish. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Don't bother, it's like one of the episodes of Family Guy where most of the jokes don't come off. Much the same as Ted then. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ex Machina Weirdo CEO builds robots and ends up pumping them, gets bored and invites a colleague and messes with his head. Nice effects but poor obvious storyline. I like Garland but this was overrated a little. 6/10 I really enjoyed it, though felt it just lacked something. What We Do In The Shadows Funniest film i've seen in donkeys. A New Zealand made mockumentary following four vampire flatmates as they argue over who's turn it is to do the washing up and other day to day nonsense. I was a giggling mess from start to finish. 9/10 Some hilarious moment in this but I thought it was stretched out too much. Some of the jokes wore thin by the end. Would have been much better as a shorter TV show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Blackhat - been a while since I've turned off a film halfway through. This was utter guff, don't bother with it. Edited May 17, 2015 by Swarley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11thHour Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Drift - 5/10. Surfer drama film. Pretty much tosh but I was rough as f**k and it was easy to watch. The Hunger Games - 6/10. No my thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Afflicted: mentioned elsewhere on this thread, rather interesting "found footage movie" I imagine we will see a sequel soon. 6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Taxi driver - 8/10 Brilliant. The boy is nuts. An olderish film but was good. The suspense is awesome as you have no idea when or if he was gonna snap. A De Niro classic, top film! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pitch Perfect 2 Anna Kendrick - check 10/10 Not even sorry. I think I'm going to add her on the 'People You dislike for No Apparent Reason' thread, her face just annoys the shit out of me, permanently sooking lemons so she is. Started watching Into The Woods and couldn't stick the sulky face, then a week or two later the OH shoves on Pitch Perfect, again I have to give up because her face is constantly tripping her. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Gone Girl Personally, I loved it. Best female performance I've seen in ages, although to be fair I'm not the best at watching the latest films over the past few years. Wasn't too impressed with the ending but otherwise it was a really enjoyable watch. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started watching Into The Woods and couldn't stick the sulky face, then a week or two later the OH shoves on Pitch Perfect, again I have to give up because her face is constantly tripping her. Had no idea who she was, so did a quick Google Image search, and it's not hard to see where you're coming from. She seems to vary between angry disdain and smug disdain. I see enough of that look in real life without paying to watch it in movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Horrible bosses 2 Awful film, second attempt at watching it and still couldn't make it the whole way through. 2/10 The 2 was all Jennifer Anniston! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pitch Perfect 2. Was a bit drunk on Friday night and apparently volunteered to go along to this on Saturday night with my missus and my daughter (two separate folk before you ask). The first one was, I thought, fairly enjoyable with some decent tunes and had the vibe of an 80s, feelgood teen comedy. The big scenes in this one had fairly chronic music but the film had a few funny bits. A few folk in the cinema were shrieking with laughter throughout but most folk, like me, managed the odd chortle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road Well... that was fun. Exhausting, but really really good movie. Rarely ever gives room to breathe while it just pounds you with action. I've seen critics say it's too long, and while I can understand their stance, I could have gone another hour of that. Some really batshit mental stuff going on here, with some properly great scenes, great scenery and of course, two magnificent leads putting on a great show. Given that most of the movie is basically a car chase movie, I think it's credit to the folk who put this together that it never really gets old. Terrific. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
