Raidernation Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Caine Mutiny 9/10: Superb Humphrey Bogart film, based on the Herman Wouk novel of the same name. Excellent acting by the whole cast. Have seen it several times and never feel the urge to turn off or over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Randomly watched two thematically similar films (unstable, conniving, vindictive, alcoholic, substance-abusing, delusional main character in meltdown, both with a big reveal near the end) in very different circumstances (Scottish policeman; Yankee rich wife) over the last two night without know what either movie was about beforehand. Filth (7/10) Good fun with some laugh out loud moments and the usual cutting blows at Scottish life that Irvine Welsh is so good at spotting and telling. A bit corny in places, but well acted overall, especially James McAvoy and Eddie Marsan. Blue Jasmine (9/10) One of Woody Allen's best in recent years imo. Loved the current/flashback structured way of revealing her past demise and current attempt at trying to rise, played exceptionally well by Cate Blanchett. Highly recommended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Man Who Fell To Earth 6/10 Pretty silly film really, there's a good story in there somewhere, not sure they needed all the sex scenes. Bowie's hair looks great though! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just watched the new Ninja Turtles film. Can't remember the last time I swore out loud so much when watching a film 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Big Hero 6 Decided to watch it earlier cause I was bored at home. Gotta say it's a good film. Not the best Disney have ever produced, but it's got a few good laugh out loud moments and the emotional side you'd expect. The fist bump bit had me in stitches tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Love is Strange 7/10 Sweet film this, couple of old gays in NY get married but then have some problems related to their living accommodation -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Saw Jupiter Ascending tonight. Complete garbage. Even the gorgeous Mila Kunis can't save this one. No idea what was going on half the time and despite being quite good visually the plot line is contrived at best. The only way it could get worse would be if Michael Bay directed it. Avoid like the plague (2/10). Shame because the other films I've seen so far this year have been crackers (American Sniper, Big Hero 6, Kingsman and Shaun the Sheep). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 2 oldies tonight courtesy of ITV2 and Sky one. Shaun of the dead, still gets a chuckle, isn't too serious. The garden hopping bit always has me in stiches. Easy 4.5/5. Bruce Almighty, classic Jim Carrey. Not watched for a while, Morgan Freeman as God always makes me smile as well. Easy 4/5 IMO. Tomorrow nights pre match of the day entertainment not yet confirmed but looking likely to be the Angels share, or the other guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Are Pars Fans! Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Gone Girl - Quite enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting much but much better than I thought it would be 7/10 Malificent - Angelina is just stunning in this, despite having horns. Again, film was better than I thought it would be. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Highlander. 9/10. I'm hugely biased as it's one of my favourite films. Great concept, great soundtrack, great story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter 8/10 Really enjoyed this, reckon it would be right up loads of people on here's street actually. Don't wanna give too much of the story away but it's about a Japanese woman who sees the bit at the beginning of Fargo where it says 'this is based on a true story' and thought it was real. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
