Uncle Psychosis Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Had a few long journeys recently so watched quite a few things. Assembly 7/10 Chinese film set during and after the Chinese civil war. Some very well done (and very brutal) fight scenes. Suspect the rest of the film lost a bit in translation but still really enjoyed it. Searching For Sugarman 10/10 Astounding. Jut watch it. Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me 7/10 Interesting look at a band that all my favourite bands were inspired by. Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten 7/10 Not much to say. Good documentary about an interesting guy. Waynes World 9/10 The product placement scene is probably my favourite film scene ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Attack of the Clones is easily the worst Star Wars film for me. Ball-achingly boring, and full of embarrassing pish like the whole "C3PO in the robot factory" stuff that spilled over into the big action scene. Not to mention that it's the one where, after years of wondering about the titanic emotional struggle that brought Luke Skywalker's dad to the Dark Side, you find out that Darth Vader was just a selfish, whiny little shit who needed the piss slapped out of him. God, that was the one with Yoda bouncing around like Mario on crack too, wasn't it? What an abortion of a film. It got off way too lightly compared to The Phantom Menace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I can take enjoyment from a couple of things in The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. Attack of the Clones though? Absolutely horrendous film on so many levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The Phantom Menace is a shitehole. Agreed. I however enjoy the pod racing and Darth Maul despite being very underused. Bar that it's absolute toilet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munro7 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Agree with the above, Attack of the Clones has pretty much no redeeming qualities and is easily the worst Star Wars film by a mile. The Phantom Menace at least had Maul and the Duel of the Fates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Frank (5/10) Brilliant and pish in equal parts. Worth a watch. Edited November 15, 2015 by banana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Frank (5/10) Brilliant and pish in equal parts. Worth a watch. Worth way more than a 5. It's a brilliant film; probably worth an 8. Fassbender is great in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the sith I'll start with some good points. The opening scene with the battle above Coruscant. Love it, and once again Ewan McGregor was brilliant as Obi Wan. And that speech by Palpatine to Anakin about the power of the Dark Side and Darth Plagueis is probably my favorite scene out of all the prequels. But again, the acting and dialog is horrendous at times .Also some of the character just seem pointless or shoehorned in, Take Grievous for example, who is he, what was the point in him, you learn nothing about his backstory, Where did he come from? He just seems like a token bad guy with no dept. I'd much rather they didn't kill off Maul and not bother introducing either Dooku or Grievous Anakin comes across as nothing more than a huffy VL Its just an average film. Not really much more I can say 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Darth Maul should have been the big bad throughout the first three films with Obi Wan dispatching him eventually after multiple close scrapes. Who gives a f**k about trade embargoes and shit? Edited November 15, 2015 by Mr. Brightside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Kill Your Friends - 7/10 Been meaning to read the book for ages but went to see this last night. Ending is outlandish but very good. Edited November 16, 2015 by GrahamJags 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ex Machina After the first 20-30 minutes I didn't think I was going to enjoy it but it definitely grew on me. I found it both clever and poignant throughout and in my opinion acted very well, especially from the 2 make leads. I find the ending slightly confusing though. 7.5/10 Also Alicia Vikander is a very attractive woman ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1446520749.457603.jpg I watched this last night and loved it. 9/10 for me. With regards to the ending: Nathan had engineered the test to find out if Ava would use Caleb as a means of escape, which is exactly what she did. In that aspect she passed the test. Just unfortunate that she also killed Nathan in the process. I might need to watch the end again, but I'm sure the last time you see Caleb, the power goes off, which should have opened the doors as he reprogrammed the security system to let Ava out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'd give it a perfect score. I can't find any fault with it. 10/10 and definitely one of the best movies of the decade. I'd only have The Wolf of Wall Street ahead of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Song of the Sea Like a Celtic studio Ghibli production - beautiful animation and music and worthy of its PG rather than U as it's not afraid of dealing with a few of the tougher things in life. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Steve Jobs - Pretty enjoyable film but it only covers three major events really over a 14 year span so you can't help but feel there is a lot missing. Fassbender put in a good turn as Jobs though in my opinion 7/10 ETA: thought the ending was abrupt and pretty pish.

Ira Gaines Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Suffragette A bit heavy on the melodrama at times, and Ben Whishaw just doesn't work as a nastier guy for me. Other than that though, this is a damn good watch. 8/10 Black Mass The way it's done seems to get some stick, with the focus being on the informants and their testimony for the most part, but I liked that way of doing things, and considering it's based on true events and it's only really going one way, they did it well. A superb cast, topped off by Johnny Depp in his best role for over 10 years. Corey Stoll's brief appearance in the final third of the movie is definitely worth a mention though. I really liked the John Connelly character and the way it was portrayed, as sometimes you got the impression that this guy was every bit as cold hearted as Bulger, and used loyalty as a smokescreen for that. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
