el buitre Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Wee Man I seen some lads on here give this scoot rating but I really liked it. Good mix of the story and violence 8/10 Stereotypical scottish pish film. How can nobody do a scottish accent (even scottish people when they have a camera pointed at them). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The little miss competition at the end was hilarious It was basically a real life version of the end of 'Little Miss Sunshine'. The reaction of one woman as it ended was hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Winslet plays her part really well also. I've seen it loads of times but it gets better with every viewing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainkev Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Still need to see that movie. I've heard nothing but great things. I really can't recommend it highly enough. It's just a stunning film. Like KeeperDee said it's a film that continues to be interesting even with many repeated viewings. It's one of the most remarkable films to have come out of America in the past decade. It's truly a great film. I'd say Winslet plays her part really well also. I've seen it loads of times but it gets better with every viewing. Oh definitely. I didn't mention her because you generally accept that Kate Winslet will be pretty good if you give her solid material. You just don't expect Jim Carrey to give the level of performance that he does in ESOTSM. Tbh the whole cast is pretty solid, Elijah Wood does well to make sure his character doesn't end up being too creepy and pathetically unlikeable imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I seen these two movies in the last couple of days: Coffee Town Stars: Glenn Howerton ( from it's always sunny in Philadelphia), Ben Schwartz ( from Parks and Recreation), Josh Groban and Adrianne Palicki. Plot: Three friends decide to rob a Coffee shop in order to stop it from turning into a bar. It's a good comedy with some laugh-out loud scenes, Josh Groban and Ben Schwartz are great in it. 8/10 The Way Way Back Stars: Liam James, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell and Maya Rudolph Plot: Shy 14-year-old Duncan goes on summer vacation with his mother, her overbearing boyfriend, and her boyfriend's daughter. Having a rough time fitting in, Duncan finds an unexpected friend in Owen, manager of the Water Wizz water park. Just like Coffee Town, it's a great comedy with some great scenes. Every actor and actress play their parts very well. If you like Indie dramas then this movie is for you. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Was going to give you a greenie. It really is fantastic film and Jim Carrey is magnificent in it. If it could be pigeon-holed as such, without doubt one of the best rom-coms of all time, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hard Eight (1996) Have had this on my planner for ages and decided to watch it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed and was pleasantly surprised. Philip Baker Hall is excellent in it as the old time gambler who shows John C Reilly how to gamble. A couple twists and turns in it as well. Gwenyth Paltrow and Samuel L Jackson also play large parts especially Paltrow who I thought was superb as a young barmaid/hooker. Had never heard of this and wasn't sure what to expect but John C Reilly plays a serious part instead of what he has been doing the last few years and also puts in a good performance. Nothing spectacular but I did enjoy it and the hostage scene is superb. 6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Pacific Rim. Terrible film. A fanboys wet dream of Del Toro directing gigantic aliens v gigantic monsters, but no amount of impressive CGI can rescue the horrendous dialogue and the hammy delivery on display. Have seen the lead actor quite rightly described as "charisma-free zone". 2 hours of my life i'm never getting back. Unbelievable that this is the guy who made Pan's Labyrinth. 2/10.

DAFC Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Worth renting it for £3.50? It's the extended version. Just about worth £3.50 but it just seemed really disjointed and predictable to me. Some nice effects like the waves of zombies but everything else has been done before and better with a fraction of the budget. The zombie attacks were pony IMO, not enough gore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies Love Me Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 WWZ - not as bad as some make out 7/10. An intellegent take on a mass viral outbreak. Especially liked they "non-cgi" crowd scenes filmed in Glasgow; No shortage of extra zombies to fill it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ganster Squad 6.5/10 FWIW, it wasn't a bad movie at all, it did exactly what it says on the tin. My problem lay with the cliché count :- Unwavering good guy that chooses honour over everything else - check Unwavering Bad guy that just doesn't know when to stop - check Witty supporting character who looks cool and doesn't join right away - check Innocent being killed to galvanise the cool guy into action - check Love Trist between cool guy and hot girl attached to the bad guy - check Slow motion shoot outs - check Montage of Ganster squad kicking ass - check Use of a philosophical advice to foreshadow using it again at the climax - check Pondering moment on the beach before throwing item of meaning into the sea, while wearing light coloured shirt - check EXPLOSIONS - check Guy with most to lose getting killed off to galvanise the good guys - check Shot of a body in the swimming pool while being shot - check In essence, this really was a ridiculously manufactured movie with little to no originality about it at all, but it still wasn't a bad watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The Karate Kid - 9/10. Hadn't seen this film in years and I tuned right into it and loved every second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I watched the Cat Returns last night. It's the third Studio Ghibli film I've watched now (all in the past month) and I really enjoyed it. Although if I'm honest, I wasn't nearly as impressed with it as I was with Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away but it was still well worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
