Tamdunk Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Assault on Wall Street 4/10 Was hoping for a feel good rampage film, this just ended up being really depressing as the guy loses everything in his life, most of the time showing him in silence pulling a face. When he finally goes on a rampage it's just harrowing scenes as the defenseless wall street brokers who you're meant to be against get gunned down in terror. The Tournament 6/10 The world's top assassins congregate in some UK town to have a battle to the death that rich people bet on. Shite premise, but some pretty damn good action scenes made this a very watchable film without ever straying into anything remotely deep, despite a few small efforts to do so. Gravity 7/10 3D doesn't work for me due to a gammy eye, but the camerawork in this film was pretty damn awesome. I didn't really like Sandra Bullocks performance as much as others have posted, but she did well. For me it's more about the graphics and camerawork than the plot, they're good enough to carry it through though.

LBC-91 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Alpha Dog - 8/10After watching a few documentary's on this story, i thought the film was excellent. Powerfull story and ending. A drama based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list.Dog Pound - 7/10Up to date version of Scum set in Canada. Decent watch. Edited November 28, 2013 by LBC-91 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Lol there is no way they will use that ending, they can't Hollywood would explode if they did! It getting such a shit rating after it's States' release would make sense! I'm interested to see what they do in its stead if they have gone another way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Gangster Squad it was okay but nothing special, basically a poor mans version of the Untouchables , all a bit cliched but still a decent enough watch, 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisky First Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hunger Games Catching Fire. Far too much of what's to come is telegraphed ahead of the events leading to less surprise and intrigue than there could have been. It also suffered from some very poor casting choices leading to unbelievable characters. The mad-scientist pair of Nuts & Volts, for example, lacked credibility leading to key stages in the film being profoundly weakened instead of engaging. Nevertheless, it's a decent action romp and Lawrence is (again) a charismatic presence who delivers a compelling performance worthy of the admission fee alone. Especially so for a shade over £3 at Clydebank on their cheap Tuesday deal. Once more the crazed show presenter is quite brilliantly played. This charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair is glorious entertainment for a character so charmingly and savagely cynical at one and the same time. A very steely Dan made flesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_smfc Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. An absolutely brilliant animated adventure. Not only does it look brilliant, but it has the plot to match, with plenty of action and comedy to cater for almost everyone. I'd recommend it to anyone, and I really hope they make another, with plenty of stories available through the comics. A very solid 8 out of 10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Stripes. 6/10 Sin City. Hoooooooooly shit that was amazing! 10/10 Sin City is a fantastic film and one of the few comic book adaptations I've actually enjoyed. Stays very faithful to the source material also. Stylish, sexy, action packed and captivating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Just checked when it was coming out here (6th of December, ftr) and I see it's got a 4.1/10 on IMDb. I had hoped it might not be too bad. Spike Lee with Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen playing the two main roles (I assume she plays that role). Initial Hollywood remake was going to be directed by Spielberg and star Will Smith. Imagine how fuckin terrible that would've been :lol: Edited November 29, 2013 by mrcat1990 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd recommend it to anyone, and I really hope they make another, with plenty of stories available through the comics. Just a shame they didn't stick to one. I would have loved to see a Studio Ghibli Tintin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Up In the Air 8/10 A really charming film which is somehow also pretty sad and destitute. Clooney and Kendrick are great in it and Jason Bateman is good as well, although perhaps a little underused, definitely worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Soul Men. Utterly predictable but enjoyable folly to turn your head off and enjoy. Bernie Mac could've done far better for his swansong though. To balance out the Hollywood cheese and unrealistic happiness I watched Tyrannosaur. A film I've seen many, many times and it still continues to be excellent. Unbelievable amount of humanity and Olivia Coleman's performance was well deserved of every award going. One of the few 9 or 10 out of 10 films I've seen in the past three years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very solid 8 out of 10 Watched it earlier this year and was quite impressed with it. Jamie Bell really seems to be turning into a solid actor (despite it only being his voice) It getting such a shit rating after it's States' release would make sense! I'm interested to see what they do in its stead if they have gone another way. I think it's more just a story that isn't very "hollywood" if that makes sense. I read they tried to redo the hammer fight as well and got no where near the original with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The Great Gatsby - 5/10 Thought it was pretty poor tbh. Visually it was stunning but the story was just lacking for me and by the end I was pretty glad it was finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
