11thHour Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Oh yeah I ended up watching Blade Runner over Christmas too. It was not bad but not brilliant I thought. Kept me entertained. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) The Hobbit 7/10 Decent watch, but as KB said, it took quite long to get going. Expendables 2 0/10 I was made to sit through this cringe-fest on boxing day. Utter, utter dross. Edited January 4, 2013 by Mik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sugden Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Life of Pi - simply beautiful. Has to be seen on big screen and in 3d. Starts off slow, ends up odd, but the majority is just amazing to watch.8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just watched - and enjoyed - Calamity Jane on Ch4. Haven't seen it in decades, and I'm awarding 7/10 How does that sit with the PnB Film Police? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It looks beautiful at times, but in almost a backwards step, things like CGI which had been almost becoming un-noticable in 24fps, now stand out very obviously. I think it's perfect that it looks older than LOTR, as it's technically an older film. Hope that makes sense. But I went to watch and got the feeling I was watching an older films than all the LOTR films which was exactly what I wanted, gave it a more historic feeling. Anyway I really enjoyed the film. I like the fact it took a while to get through things as it gave everyone time to take things in. I especially liked the in-depth version of Erebor being destroyed. I think they've got a bit hammy with the playing up to Thorin though, he was great and heroic yes but they're over playing that part a bit. My worries about Smaug have yet to be put to bed though, terrified he's going to be shite looking although I'm pleased they portrayed how easily he captured Erabor correctly. The scenes with Gollum and Bilbo were absolutely fantastic and almost exactly how I'd imagined it. Delighted they put the riddles in there instead of just one or two I'm a bit of a LOTR geek though so I reckon that's why I enjoyed it so much. A lot of people might not really understand it and my girlfriend didn't understand who the Necromancer was and why everyone was so scared of him, nor did she realise the significance of Radagast. Be delighted if the other two live up to this one and simply cannot wait until the Battle of Five Armies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 7 psychopaths hadnt seen the first film "in brugges" but the missus dragged me along to see this anyway that said you dont have to know anything about the first film to watch this, quite a weird film that was a really good watch nevertheless, woody harrelson was good in it and christopher walken was actually really funny at parts also the 4 main characters linked well and it turned out to be a right good watch 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Eventually got round to watching The Angel Share, not usually a massive fan of Scottish smaller movies but I really enjoyed this. Some cracking banter and good new performances. Solid 8/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 hadnt seen the first film "in brugges" but the missus dragged me along to see this anyway that said you dont have to know anything about the first film to watch this, They're not connected in any way, story wise. It's only dubbed as a follow up because it's the same writer/director collaborating with Colin Farrell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Doug Liman's action comedy, not the Hitchcock one. First things first: it takes some getting into! After the first hour this film was looking at a 3 or 4/10. One thing I love, though, is that Pitt and Jolie play off each other as naturally as Cruise and Kidman and that chemistry is absolute gold. The rest of the content is iffy, up until the turning point that brings us into the final act. Thereafter the pace picks up and the plot turns around. I loved the last half hour, and it finishes brilliantly with a wee cheap laugh. So, yeah...married couple who behind each others' backs are highly trained assassins working for the same agency. Big special effects, gadgets, hi-tech stuff. Was never going to be a classic- started really poorly, but all the ideas came together and by the end I had a smile on my face. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 the dark knight rises. 6/10 i may up my rating after i have rewatched it but it just felt a bit flat there wasn't enough batman for my liking and i thought it went severly down hill after the football stadium scene. It was also an hour too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbi Williams Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Saw a few over the Christmas period, the last being a DVD of The Pianist. Had never seen it before but an absolutely breathtaking film. Adrien Brody was fantastic, I had no idea that guy had so much talent. I'd rate it a 9/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he's called Ray in In Bruges and Marty in Seven Psychopaths. yeah you are both correct as you know, think my missus got mixed up with the fact both farrell and mcdonagh worked together for the film in bruges ah well, it was a good film anyway, some right good one liners in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 There isn't even the slightest similarity with the characters. f**k knows how you came to that conclusion? Did you even WATCH the movies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The first thing he said in his review was that he hadn't seen In Bruges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 That doesn't explain how it was even brought up. Yeah, I'm not sure why. He says he hasn't seen In Bruges but then says you don't need to have seen In Bruges to enjoy Seven Psychopaths. A bit strange to say that, for all you (51 and Counting) know, having seen In Bruges might've pushed the film to a 10/10. Of course it doesn't now it's been pointed out that they're not connected apart from the actor and writer/director. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
