SaltyTON Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) Another one of these comedies that try to be 'cool' rather than funny, for me you either go hilarious or nothing as subtle humour of this kind only works if it's very dark. John Cusack is one of my favourite actors but he really struggles here to cope with a limited script, he managed it in Grosse Point Blanke but at least had an interesting plot to work with. It was watchable but it just couldn't keep my interest focussed at all. When I was paying full attention it was okay, nothing great though. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 The Poughkeepsie Tapes ( 2007 ) What a piece of shit this turned out to be. After the initial hype it got pre-release, and the idea of the story, I was excited to see it. They completely turn up the evil of the murderer. To the point where it's just stupid and forced. Yes, I get the point. He's a nasty piece of work. The way it was filmed was shit as well. The handheld thing can work in some movies if done right. I thought Cloverfield did a great job with it as did REC and The Blair Witch. This was just rotten though. 1/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyped by Kevin Smith as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 It's gotten a lot of praise, so you'll probably enjoy it. I just thought it was pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I see 'Wrong Turn at Tahoe' is on Sky Anytime just now. Is it worth investing a couple of hours on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of it, but it's only the directors second film... his first P2 was barely passable when it definitely had the potential to be much better! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Tron Legacy, boring pish, kept feeling like it was going to get going but never did, the set pieces were not up to much and the story linking it all together just didn't. It never really explained itself properly and the main characters are just strangers and I didn't care what happened to them. There are one or two "bombshells" that when dropped there is no reaction because it's obvious stuff that my 11 year old had figured out. At the end I felt like Charlton Heston kneeling in the sand screaming "Damn you all to hell", I was looking forward to this and they fucked it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Freud Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Pretty damn good as it happens. A lot of people reckon that nothing much happens in it - I'm not sure what film they were watching, and the plot isn't hard to follow so far as I can see. Strange film - moving and a bit disturbing - but really fits in the context of the other films. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you stick it in spoiler tags, or a PM, please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty damn faithful reproduction of the book. It's not like they're going to mess with the story, so I'm unsure as to what these people expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the film wasn't so long, people would only moan that too much of the story was missing. Personally, I can't wait to see it, I just haven't had time yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwififer Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Narnia 3 or whatever it was called. We had Ms Kiwi's neice and nephew at the weekend so after church (yep, I was in church), we took them to the pics. I still haven't a clue what it was about, but the kids enjoyed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
