Marsh Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Watched Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal, horrendous. His character(s) just overreact to everything and the ending was terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Macbeth. Not my cup of tea at all. Found it boring. The battle sequence was excellent, but aside from that, it was very disappointing. 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenElves Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The second one is god awful. Aye it's brutal, the only bit I liked was the throw back to the first one(the fight scene with all the cameos) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The Intern - Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro star in this film about a retired man going back to work as a senior intern. Was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Quite funny at times but also well acted - 6.5/10 Hotel Transylvania 2 - laughed a few times. Had a couple of hours to kill in town on Saturday (wild night) and this was the only film which fitted into my time frame. Had seen the trailer a few times and can say that the best bits were in the trailers. 4/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Off to see The Martian in 2D later. I've watched a trailer of The Walk on my phone and just about puked from vertigo - not sure I could stomach it on IMAX. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Falling Down. 9/10. Loved it - Just had a great feel to the film the whole way through. Unbelievably I think that's the first Michael Douglas film I've ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to watch War of the Roses, (avoid Romancing the Stone though at all costs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) The Intern - Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro star in this film about a retired man going back to work as a senior intern. Was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Quite funny at times but also well acted - 6.5/10.I saw this & found it a bit too sugarcoated for my liking, a bit too Disney if you will. I watched it because I like De Niro but I don't think he did himself any favours taking on this role, see meet the fokkers etc. he plays a good fellow not a good fellah. 4/10Grimbo Edited October 6, 2015 by Grim O'Grady 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwellfan Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Crazy, Stupid, Love. Was completely transfixed with this yin. What can I say though, I'm a sucker for a love story. I have decided that I am completely in love with Emma Stone. Ryan Gosling was probably the coolest looking guy in a film since Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Steve Carrell funny as ever. Would recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Finally caught up with 'Under the Skin' ,and it was as strange as I was expecting. Thoroughly enjoyed it but not sure why. Think the fact I was trying to recognise the areas it was being filmed in kept my attention probably more than someone watching it from other than Glasgow. Thought it was really bold film making which while wasn't perfect (poor ending I thought) certainly made you think. Wife hated it but I knew she would before I turned it on. 8/10 Edited October 7, 2015 by Joe Terrapin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine it being a bit frustrating if you've simply no idea what is going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The Martian 9/10 Watched this with the missus and my daughter (10). She kept leaning over to me and whispering "this is so good". The only criticisms are nitpicking.. there are a couple of wooden Chinese characters who seem to be crow-barred in to help sell the film in China. The bloke in particular could be straight out of Team America. Also, it's a long film but it didn't really convey the sense that a years stuck in a wee space ship might feel a bit of a drag. Apart from that it's hard to fault: funny, good-hearted, believable camaraderie and dialogue. Intelligent, great looking film with its heart in the right place. Worth checking on the big screen too rather than waiting to see it at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Contact (7/10) The Jodie Foster SETI number from the 90s. Really quite good storytelling with tremendous special effects and visualisations but a point docked for the too rambly, distracting side-story with McConaghy, and the bizarre hearing at the end with the unexplained hyper-confrontational suit guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The Martian 9/10 Brilliant. 1000x better than the book. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Walkabout 9/10 Watched this last night. I vaguely remember watching this in the 80s and being disturbed by it as a kid. Atmospheric isn't really the word is it. More hallucinogenic, trippy. Still holds up. The scene with the dad and the car, wow, incredible. And the way Roeg captures the nature. Beautiful and deeply unsettling film simultaneously. The narrative is sort of secondary isn't it. A one-off. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Closely Observed Trains (1966) Sometimes called Closely Watched Trains this is the first Czech film I've seen and it's pretty good. It's what you would probably call a coming of age comedy as an apprentice signalman goes to desperate measures to prove he has become a man. The film is set during WW2 in German occupied Czechoslavakia but the war is a only a minor distraction to our young hero. The film is full of sexual innuendo including an explosive climax. I'm not sure who the Czech's are having a laugh at here, themselves or the Nazis but since it was made in 1966 maybe it's really the Russians substituted in the film by the Nazis. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddly optomistic Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Everest Watched this and was pretty disappointed. Maybe it didn't help that I'd seen a documentary about the subject before. The film seemed to gloss over some pretty important events in the story. I guess that's Hollywood though. Some good visuals but just didn't do it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
