ilostmyself Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) The Imposter has to be one of the creepiest things I've watched, on various levels. Absorbing viewing It was incredible, you think the story is just about this one guy pretending to be someone else but as it unravels you slowly switch from thinking the family were just overcome with grief to realising that there is something sinister behind their motives.

accies1874 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The Babadook: Thought it was great. Really scary but not through dumbed down jump scares but rather just being very creepy and using some pretty horrible images. It was also very much grounded in reality which makes it easier to provide scares and also spoke for a wider topic rather than just making people scared. The quick cuts at times felt a bit distracting and I thought several characters were pretty useless but other than that I loved it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Good Kill 8/10 Definitely an anti war film. Shows you how pointless the war on terrorism is. Hadn't heard of this. Downloaded and watched today.Tremendous 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Sportello Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Straight Outta Compton Biopic about N.W.A and it's members that's been generating a lot hype in America. Fun movie with solid acting, especially from Ice Cube's son who portrays his father and is the spitting image of him. A few minor plot holes here and there, and it was pretty fucking tame tbh, considering what they were all about. I really wish they'd have just made it an 18 rated film and shown what their childhoods and growing up in Compton around that time was really like. Would've been a much better movie for it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie95 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ex Machina I kept on hearing great things about this movie to the point in which I felt people were over hyping the film. The its self is really good and in certain aspects, quite creepy. Overall a solid 8/10, a bonis point for the dance scene which had me for some reason almost rolling around the ground in laughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Straight Outta Compton - 7.5/10 Pretty good NWA biopic. Certainly could've been a lot worse. The guy who played Dre was immense, as was Ice Cube's son who looks more like Ice Cube than Ice Cube does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Trainwreck Didn't really enjoy this. Too long, far too many uncomfortable unfunny moments and I couldn't have cared less about Amy Schumer's character. The best bits were John Cena and LeBron James. A few funny moments but pretty poor overall. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Sportello Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 as was Ice Cube's son who looks more like Ice Cube than Ice Cube does. He really does, the handsome wee p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal234ey Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fruitvale Station - A film based on the events in the build up to and shortly after the murder of Oscar Grant by a BART police officer. It had some pretty solid reviews on line so decided to check it out. Was a decent film, not too long either and covers the story fairly well. It is a bit slow though. 6.5/10. Straight Outta Compton - Agree with what others have said above about this film, I was pretty impressed with it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Straight outta Compton 8.5/10 I'll agree with everyone else, I thought Ice Cubes son was the standout performer. "What's your name, Brian? Get the f**k out ma house?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thought Jason Mitchell as Easy E was the standout, but Ice Cube's son was very good, and he's just basically an Ice Cube clone anyways, which helps. But aye, 8/10 I'd say is a fair score for a really good movie. Went to see Paper Towns last week as well, which was okay I guess. The ending was a bit weird, given the ride that they put on for us to get there, and the acting was fairly suspect from the leads, but it was an enjoyable enough 6/10 movie for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We bought a zoo 4/10 Should have been called We Meh'd a Meh. Shmaltzy family drama with added tigers, (based on a true story). The only surprise in this predictable tale is the cast who seem to have turned up for an easy pay day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Taxi Driver. 8/10. Loses a point for the ending, which kind of annoyed me a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
