What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Stanford Prison Experiment (5/10)

Based on the real story of the infamous Stanford University prison experiment, where volunteers were put in a mock jail, half as prisoners, half as guards.

Doesn't particularly translate well to the screen, and not as interesting as reading the full details of the experiment. Still a fairly decent watch.

What is a documentary or did they try and turn it into a drama? It would be fucking awful as a drama unless they really freed the reigns on how brutal the guards were depicted on screen.

Have a watch of Das Experiment. Its basically a German version of the same thing. It was a good watch.

There's an English language remake of that movie.

Personally, I think the new version that banana watched is a belting movie. I thought that considering I'd basically seen much of it before in the aforementioned movie, it did a great job of pulling me in. Some great tension despite knowing much of the story, and it was well cast.

Thought it was brilliant.

There's Something About Mary

Still my favourite Farrelly brothers film, still as funny now as it was when I first saw it in the cinema years ago. It has some brilliantly funny scenes in it, and if you like comedies but haven't seen it then I would heartily recommend that you should.

9/10

In my top 10 funny films list. Along with Kingpin, after those 2 I felt they'd lost some of their edge.

Steve Jobs - 7/10.

I like Sorkin, so it's to be expected that I (quite) liked this. The ending has come in for criticism elsewhere, and, on reflection, I still can't quite work out whether I think it worked or not. On a purely individual level, I thought Fassbender was superb. Overall, I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from watching.

The Grand Budapest Hotel: 8/10. My girlfriend hated it but I thought it was well-paced and good fun. So f**k her.

Boyhood: 5.5/10. Didn't get emotionally invested at any point. The boy reminds me of my mate's brother who is an arsehole.

Casino: 8.5/10. I think this is the first Sharon Stone film I've seen - she was very good. Would've preferred De Niro to come out of the car and deal with Pesci at the end though. Great film.

Robocop: 8/10. I'd only seen this about 15 years ago so couldn't remember anything about it. Great fun. Although he gets shot about a hundred times and then takes one to the head - and they still try to revive him.

The Dressmaker

Don't let the title put you off, this is really good and very quirky. It's like watching Once Upon A Time In The West meets Steptoe & Son meets The League Of Gentlemen.

Set in Australia in 1951 it starts off with Kate Winslett, just like Charles Bronson in OUATITW, arriving in a small town seeking revenge after being banished 25 years earlier. The only thing is instead of a gun she's got a Singer sewing machine and a golf club. She needs her mother, who's like a female Albert Steptoe, help her get to the truth why she was banished and along the way there's a couple of twists and a whole collection of weird and wonderful characters who wouldn't be out of place on League Of Gentlemen.

Thoroughly enjoyable 8/10
