Doc Sportello Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Straight Outta Compton Biopic about N.W.A and it's members that's been generating a lot hype in America. Fun movie with solid acting, especially from Ice Cube's son who portrays his father and is the spitting image of him. A few minor plot holes here and there, and it was pretty fucking tame tbh, considering what they were all about. I really wish they'd have just made it an 18 rated film and shown what their childhoods and growing up in Compton around that time was really like. Would've been a much better movie for it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie95 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ex Machina I kept on hearing great things about this movie to the point in which I felt people were over hyping the film. The its self is really good and in certain aspects, quite creepy. Overall a solid 8/10, a bonis point for the dance scene which had me for some reason almost rolling around the ground in laughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Straight Outta Compton - 7.5/10 Pretty good NWA biopic. Certainly could've been a lot worse. The guy who played Dre was immense, as was Ice Cube's son who looks more like Ice Cube than Ice Cube does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Trainwreck Didn't really enjoy this. Too long, far too many uncomfortable unfunny moments and I couldn't have cared less about Amy Schumer's character. The best bits were John Cena and LeBron James. A few funny moments but pretty poor overall. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Sportello Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 as was Ice Cube's son who looks more like Ice Cube than Ice Cube does. He really does, the handsome wee p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal234ey Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fruitvale Station - A film based on the events in the build up to and shortly after the murder of Oscar Grant by a BART police officer. It had some pretty solid reviews on line so decided to check it out. Was a decent film, not too long either and covers the story fairly well. It is a bit slow though. 6.5/10. Straight Outta Compton - Agree with what others have said above about this film, I was pretty impressed with it. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Straight outta Compton 8.5/10 I'll agree with everyone else, I thought Ice Cubes son was the standout performer. "What's your name, Brian? Get the f**k out ma house?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thought Jason Mitchell as Easy E was the standout, but Ice Cube's son was very good, and he's just basically an Ice Cube clone anyways, which helps. But aye, 8/10 I'd say is a fair score for a really good movie. Went to see Paper Towns last week as well, which was okay I guess. The ending was a bit weird, given the ride that they put on for us to get there, and the acting was fairly suspect from the leads, but it was an enjoyable enough 6/10 movie for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We bought a zoo 4/10 Should have been called We Meh'd a Meh. Shmaltzy family drama with added tigers, (based on a true story). The only surprise in this predictable tale is the cast who seem to have turned up for an easy pay day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Taxi Driver. 8/10. Loses a point for the ending, which kind of annoyed me a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 No Good Deed - 5/10. Pretty forgettable, Idris Elba does well when he is shown to be struggling to contain his violent urges but other than that doesnt seem too imposing throughout. More creepy than threatening. As usual his American accent is seriously wonky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Pride - 7/10 Very enjoyable film. Tells the story of the LGSM, (Lesbians & Gays Support Miners), during the 1980's miners strike. As a snapshot in time in is quite shocking to see the prejudice and ignorance of the time. This film has a great cast who are all on top form to deliver some big laughs as well as some poignant moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Shutter Island - 8/10. Was on Film4 and the missus hadnt seen it so it was defo getting watched. Love the ambiguity of the ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Monster Squad 7/10 I watched this loads of times in the 80s and re-watched it for the first time in a long time on Saturday. I loved it, (again). Great tongue-in-cheek script and cheesy dialogue. Some questionable clichés and terrific 80s styling. Brilliant. 'my name...is Horrace!' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sexy Beast 7/10 p.s. this very short review contains a spoiler Enjoyable enough. It's all about the dynamic between wins-tone & kingsley so kinda falls on it's arse after he dies. Was unsure whether to go 6 or 7, 6 seems a tad harsh. I'll say 7 since the first half is pretty damn good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The Equalizer- 5/10. Meh. Denzel Washington kills a heap of Russians in B & Q. Like a more sinister Mcauley Culkin in Home Alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Went to see The Visit. Lots of fun. The wee guy in it is a hoot, and there's more than enough freaky stuff and good laughs to be had. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
