mrcat1990 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Life After Beth - 6/10 Very silly and good Sunday afternoon watch. Aubrey Plaza even as a zombie makes me feel all kinds of sexy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I thought Ted 2 started terrible, picked up a bit in the middle, then ended terribly. 4/10 for me. Amanda Seyfried a lot better in that kind of role than I thought expected, although I've only just remembered she was hilarious in Mean Girls. Song of the Sea. Irish animation about selkies and owl fairies. I actually really enjoyed it. The hand drawn animation style made the movie. Would certainly recommend giving it a go if you like Ghibli movies as this bares more than a passing resemblance to it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 4/10 for me. Amanda Seyfried a lot better in that kind of role than I thought expected, although I've only just remembered she was hilarious in Mean Girls. In my head, she'll always be sucking on Julianne Moore's nipples. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Anger Management Jack Nicholson is crazily funny as the therapist helping Adam Sadler with his issues. Some really laugh out loud moments and great supporting cast including a cameo by John McEnroe. Decent soundtrack too. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ted 2 I enjoyed it but there were a few things (mostly nods toward Family Guy) that didn't sit right and it definitely wasn't as good as the first. A slow starter but it got there (just about) in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Spy Game Robert Redford is the seasoned CIA agent on his last day on the job, has 24 hours to save an agent he recruited (Brad Pitt) from the death penaly in China... the story flips from the present situation to how he recruited Pitt and how the relationship between the two men developed, well thought out and well acted,very enjoyable 8/10 I don't normally come on this thread but I did yesterday for some reason and thanks to this I downloaded and watched last night.......absolutely brilliant......9/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Spy Finally got round to seeing this. There's enough chuckles to keep you happy and a few good belly laughs in there. I can see a sequel coming. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Fury Missed this at the cinema, saw it on Sky yesterday. A refreshing change from the usual formula, no overt flag waving which can be a real pain. Interesting to see the Americans not being painted as square jawed heroes with good intentions, but as characters every bit as dangerous and out of control as the Nazis themselves. Few films touch on this aspect, the campaign in Germany being viewed differently by the characters. While previous action in Europe was liberation, this film looks at the conquering and revenge phase of the war, and does it effectively. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Catch Me If You Can I never get fed up of this film. Absolutely love it. It grabs you straight away and keeps you hooked throughout. The fact this was based on real events is pretty unbelievable but for these events to have been carried out by a 17 year old is pretty incredible. It's a story about fraud and we should really hate Abagnale, but you just can't. Not only are you routing for him at times due to the balls he has, but he comes across as an actual nice guy as well as a very lonely unfulfilled young man. It's the latter part which IMO makes Hanratty have respect for him. Hanratty clearly gets wound up and frustrated with him but at no point do you get the feeling he wants to hurt or see harm come to Abagnale. Quite the opposite actually. They are both lonely guys and I felt they both kept each other on their toes and both of them secretly enjoyed that. At first I imagine the money was the Abagnale's drive but come the end he was doing it more out of boredom and 'because he could'. I can believe the real characters are still close friends as they both appear to be similar people. Abagnale himself stole millions but he's probably prevented billions from being stolen. I loved his cameo in the film as the arresting officer in France A solid 9/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Catch Me If You Can I can believe the real characters are still close friends as they both appear to be similar people. Sadly no longer friends, after "Carl" died in 2013. Inverted commas because, for unknown reasons, two different pseudonyms were used for the book and the film, and his real identity wasn't revealed until after his death. Interesting things about "Carl Hanratty". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Last Man on Earth (1964) 8.5/10 First filmed version of Matheson's book "I Am Legend" (Others being 71's Omega Man, and the Will Smith abomination) and by far the best. Vincent Price is superb as the last man alive, and the entire film is wonderfully atmospheric and apocalyptic. all the better for being B/W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulises de la Cruz Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Gone Girl - 5/10Seemed to drag on and the ending was pretty disappointing. The part when the guy gets his throat slit open and she gets covered in blood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It Follows - interesting, sedately paced, and dreamlike horror about an STD which results in a slow-moving, relentless supernatural assassin stalking the recipient. The unreal sleepy atmosphere reminded me of some of Lucio Fulci's work, with an unusual score best summed up as John Carpenter making music for an 8-bit video game. Finding a satisfying ending always seemed difficult, but it was quite good, all told. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieT1314 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Watch four movies nursing a hangover on Sunday Calvary - Irish movie about a priest that recieves a death threat and has one week left to live. Really enjoyed this, I guess you'd call it a black comedy. 7.5/10 Get Hard - Comedy with Will Ferrall and Kevin Hart, usual Will Ferral nonsense. 4/10 Jurrasic World - Enjoyed this more than i expected, 6.5/10 The Loft - Pretty mince 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 American Pie: Reunion, 6/10, characters are older, not where they expected to be and are coming to terms with personal issues at a high school Reunion, good humour, but felt they started to run out of ideas near the end. Iron Man 3: 5/10, they fucked up The Mandarin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Slow West Debut feature film, relatively low budget (<$250,000), and relatively short running time (<90 minutes). Well worth watching for some gorgeous camera work and one of the best Westerns of the last 10-15 years. It's certainly well placed in my top five (and if we exclude No Country For Old Men, it's maybe pushing into the top three). Teenage boy from the north of Scotland arrives somewhere in the Frontier looking for his "love" and ends up bumping into Michael Fassbender's bounty hunter. That's all I'll say. There's shades of the Coens, with splashes of "classic" era Westerns, and you've got a strong yet understated performance from Fassbender. Ben Mendelsohn is also in it, so that in itself is reason enough to check it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Sportello Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The Wackness(2008) Coming-of-age comedy starring Josh Peck as an early 90s high school kid about to go off to uni who spends his summer selling weed to, amongst others, Ben Kingsley, a therapist he sees and pays with tha sweet dank. Olivia Thirlby acts as the love interest and the therapists daughter. Funny, nostalgic and quite emosh at parts as well. Really nice 90s hip-hop soundtrack to it as well. 7.5/10 ps. Ben Kinglsey got a Razzie for this performance I think. Not sure why tbh, he wasn't that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
