Frankie S Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Ex Machina - 8/10 Promising directorial debut from Alex Garland. Oscar Isaac is excellent in this and Alicia Vikander is a star in the making. Edited January 26, 2015 by Frankie S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Jet lag that refuses to go away has meant that over the last week I've watched a couple of films at stupid o'clock in the morning. Starship Troopers: One of my favourites. Every bit as good a satire as Robocop was by the same writer and director. 9/10 The Colour of Money: A bit of an overlooked Scorsese gem in my opinion. Paul Newman is absolutely fantastic and Tom Cruise is good as well. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Grand Budapest Hotel - Quirky pish. 2/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Now You See Me - enjoyable enough waste of a couple of hours - I reckon Morgan freeman must have had a couple of bills due, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadasdillinger Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Inherent Vice Total bollocks. One of the worst films I've seen in a long time. Mega irritating, impenetrable, impossible to follow. It's not fair to describe this as a film - it's an endurance test. I somehow managed an hour and fifteen minutes of its baffling two and a half hour runtime. I have no idea why anyone would want to sit through it that long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pires on the Wing Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Clerks - 9/10 Brilliant movie. I don't even find it that funny tbh, but it's just such an amazing watchable movie. Clerks 2 - 7/10 Went in thinking it was obviously going to pish, what with it being 10+ years after the first. It was quite good though. Not as technically well made as the first, and it's a completely different style, but still good. It's kinda sad seeing Randall and Dante old as f**k, middle-aged men, but I reckon it's a funnier movie than the first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to watch The Long Goodbye tomorrow night that its supposedly similar to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Calvary - 8/10. Excellent film. Very funny but pretty sad. I absolutely love films with dark humour and a bleak end with this ticking those boxes. Gleeson is also a really great and likeable actor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kingsman. What a film. By far and away the best film I've seen this year. There is one scene that all Hearts fans will enjoy! 9/10 for me. No faults. Just good old fashioned fighting mixed in with some fancy gadgets. Go see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant film, I'd recommend The Guard as well if you've not seen it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Brilliant film, I'd recommend The Guard as well if you've not seen it. The Guard is a much better film, Calvary was bit mixed up tonally imo and the ending left a sour taste but I suppose that was intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Edge of Tomorrow- 6.5/10. Basically a modern Groundhog Day, except the end goal is to kill aliens instead of pump Andie MacDowell. An enjoyable wee film, nothing special though. As with most time travel films the ending slightly confused me. ETA- I had a wee snigger when Emily Blunt told Tom Cruise to 'be specific.'

JogaBonito Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Akira 7/10 Dystopian Japan, 30 years after world war III.. troubled boy from bike gangs becomes empowered with special powers and tries to enact revenge on the world. Ponyo 6/10 Boys befriends a magical fish, who desires to become human. Cute but there's something missing. Everything seemed totally superficial. Hobbit 2 4/10 Went back to it and watched the full thing. Boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A Most Violent Year 7.5/10 Went to Cinema pretty tired and really went tonight as be last chance I would get to see it. A good film and a refreshing new take on the american dream being achieved without bullying others perhaps a naive perspective for the time but interesting. Ex Machine 6/10 Was ok but never felt gripped at any moment and felt like it was wasn't really anything that hadn't been done before and better. Foxcatcher 8/10 Good film Carrell really showed he can be much more than just a funny guy. Birdman 7.5/10 Was a good film but just has been over-hyped. Very well acted but not really a story to tell just an orgy of strong acting and great camera work and some general randomness . It mixes together nicely for what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Coming of age drama that stars Emma Watson. Pretty decent effort with a good storyline.

Pleasant way to spend nearly 2 hours 7/10 I remember enjoying this, but being irrationally irritated at kids who are "into music" not knowing the "tunnel song". A cut above most of its type, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
