Redhead81 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ant Man Saw this yesterday, enjoyed it. Paul Rudd is always good, as is Michael Douglas (he is definitely beginning to show his age though). It was my first time seeing a film in the IMAX and I have to say it was really something, the graphics and overall experience were both great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Birdman (4/10) Fading and delusional movie actor tries his hand at theatre. Barely interesting or believable base concept had the film on the verge of tedium and smugness throughout, saved in part by some individually nice scenes and very good performances across the board, non more so than the brief cameo by the critic Lindsay Duncan. No idea why this garnered so much acclaim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ant-Man Just back from seeing this. Think Paul Rudd was great and he's one handsome b*****d! This film is another great addition from Marvel, good humour throughout as expected and some really cool action scenes. Seen a couple of folk saying the CGI was quite poor but I certainly didn't notice that, looked great to me. I suspect they are just chatting shit or nitpicking. Shout out to Michael Pena as Luis, his comic timing was terrific I thought. If they go ahead with a sequel in the future I'd be delighted. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure cinema could improve it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The Offence: Sean Connery and Ian Bannen in a very uncomfortable film to watch, but, my god they are really good. 9/10 Easily. Actors, acting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure cinema could improve it. I haven't heard the radio version so I can't comment on that but the film is very well done. It was directed by the same guy who made Downfall. If you're interested in the subject matter then it's well worth watching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep yep yep. My mother's a big Connery fan and would happily be skelped all over the kitchen by the man, but she hates this film. She is wrong; so very wrong! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The Phoenix Project - drama about a group of young scientists who try to bring dead creatures back to life. Nothing like as interesting as it sounds, and the listed plot synopsis that they run into "a host of unforeseen consequences" is not only a massive exaggeration, but the consequence(s) are as mundane as it's possible to imagine. It comes across that the filmmakers were trying to go for some great neurological and spiritual revelation, but it's very much kids' stuff. Just not very well thought through, and quite disappointing to watch by the end. Don't Blink - big group of friends and hingers-on head out to a remote cabin/hotel in Colorado, only to find the place deserted and their buddies disappearing whenever they drop out of sight. Not a lot more to the film than that, and nothing is resolved satisfactorily, but it's a reasonably entertaining watch, with the makers playing with the idea by making characters drop out of frame momentarily, or briefly hiding them behind objects. Not bad; could've been something special if they'd managed to come up with something more interesting at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead81 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The Legend of Barney Thomson Thought it was ok, liked that it was filmed in Glasgow therefore I recognised lots of locations (eg Bridgeton train station). I didn't realise it was based on a book. Thought Emma Thompson played a good part as his mum. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happysouth Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Pitch perfect. Was on tv last night. Quite enjoyed it really. Some funny bits with some decent singing. Felt like a mix of so many other films (sister act 2/school of rock etc) but enjoyed it for what it was. A 6.5 out of 10 turned into a 7.5 for anna kendrik. It's the first time I've seen kendrik in anything and I think I'm in love! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's a wonderful life is magic. I am guaranteed to cry at that film. Bloomin' near perfect. (It was on at Christmas and most of the fannies I was with said they wouldn't watch it as it was black and white!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Inside Out Don't think I've ever blubbed so much at a film (but I may have been a bit emotional after a hearty pub lunch). There were a few really young kids in the cinema and apart from the bright colours and beautiful animation I think it would have largely gone over their heads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
