lichtie23 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Rocky Balboa was a dreadful film, the worst by far in the series for me. It's better than 5 Rocky 4 is still my favourite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gains some points for the fantastic fight scene at the end and the typically cheesy, 'Punch me and I'll sue' moment. I love 1, 2 & 4 equally, can't separate them, all classics. 3 is just a very, very good film but has probably dated the most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) isnt that the bizzare one where she tries it on with the dad and its turns out that its a middle aged midget rather than a girl? Aye, that's the one. A nice enough twist on the evil child genre. Edit: We're talking about Orphan, just in case anyone clicks on the spoiler to find out and curses us out Edited April 22, 2014 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Starship Troopers - lovely futuristic fascist satire, with a Zulu pastiche thrown in for good measure. Ridiculously coiffed beautiful people, hilarious dialogue, cliched plot, risible rhetoric; it's all here. Effects and action scenes still stand up well too. Good for a game of Spot-The-Actor, for those who like such things. I was originally dragged along to this by a war movie lover who was expecting a serious military treatise The level of seethe was palpable Love that film. Its a total cheesefest but Ironside is brillant in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Love that film. Its a total cheesefest but Ironside is brillant in it As some shitty trailer from yesteryear put it, "UNDERGROUND LEGEND MICHAEL IRONSIDE!" I'd watch that man in a romantic comedy. That's how awesome he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Cleanskin - slightly depressing conspiracy drama about Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. The main terrorist guy's motivation appears to be that some utter bell-end in his college class was mean to him, and his non-Muslim girlfriend is a lush. Sort your life out, for f**k's sake. Average to OK, and saved slightly by a very bored SEAN BEEEEEAN! who gets to be a Yorkshireman in this one Nightmare Hostel - fucking horrifying abortion of a movie. Some nonsense about a rage drug being tested in some fruitcake's hospital. Looks and sounds like your worst student film nightmare, drags on for the rest of your natural life, and features optical effects so bad that you'll tear out your own eyes. All those involved should be killed. Worse than that time you put your dick in my mouth when I was sleeping and took a picture. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - this was really good. Young mad scientist on a remote island invents a machine that makes it rain food. Much better than it sounds, and was consistently amusing. Even got a few LOLs out of me, and I'm a miserable p***k. Also, MR FUCKING T! Saw part of the sequel too, but fell asleep despite enjoying it as well. It's like the first, but all the characters have been smoking crack in the interim, which is fun to watch. And that's before the cheeseburger spiders arrive. This is a real golden age for animation at the moment; practically all the big players are producing really entertaining stuff. Except Disney, of course, who've made perhaps two or three decent films in my entire lifetime. And none of them were The Lion King. My Bloody Valentine 3D - Jaws 3D scarred me for life, so we watched this in 2D. Pretty standard slasher flick about the aftermath of a mining accident. Story was a little dull; frankly, the accident itself sounded more interesting. An OK watch if you're in the mood for a horror movie, but you forgot to pick up your beta blocker prescription. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The Raid 2: Berandal An undercover cop infiltrates a crime family and has to bust a few heads along the way in this Indonesian martial arts thriller. Nothing I've never seen before but very well executed. Well worth seeking out if you like that kind of thing... 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Oldboy Bit late to the party with this one, but f**k me was it worth the wait. A fantastic Korean film with stunning cinematography, immense acting and a sensational plot. And the twist? Left me speechless. I'd say it was a 9/10 film, but the moment has to make it a 10/10. Unforgettable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Tropic Thunder - didn't know this is where that "never go full retard" meme comes from. Decent Hollywood spoof totally stolen by Robert Downey Jr. Starting to think that watching spoof trailers would be more entertaining than most movies. Quote from BigFatTabbyWife after realising who Les Grossman was played by - "I wonder if they all believe in aliens?" Sorority Row - Exactly how it sounds; slasher movie in a sorority house. Group of bitches (and their wanky boyfriends) totally have the piss murdered out of them until they're aw deid. Slightly better than the average, until spectacularly losing the plot towards the end. It's impossible to have a satisfying reveal these days; they'd be as well to unveil the perpetrator as a rotten cabbage for all the difference it would make. Snake Eyes - Nice wee De Palma mystery thriller about an assassination at a casino boxing match. Not stellar, but pretty entertaining until the mystery is solved, and the story's quite nicely framed until the straightforward final third. Added bonus that I didn't want to set Nicolas Cage on fire, which is the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Deep Impact - part of the pre-Millennium cinematic build-up to inevitable doomsday. We're still here; it totally didn't happen. Giant Rock is heading for Earth - oh noes! President Morgan Freeman will surely save us or, at least, stop us from caring with that voice! Sadly, large parts of the movie contain no Morgan Freeman, instead focusing on a surprisingly slow-moving plod toward The End Of All Life. Will the various plans to throw explosions at The Rock pay off? Will you still be awake enough to smell what The Rock is cookin'? Probably not. Wes Craven's New Nightmare - the titular director's first stab at postmodern horror before hitting the mark with Scream. Freddy Kreuger attempts to enter the real world and begins to terrorise those involved in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Multiple cameos from both sides of the camera abound, but sadly no Johnny Depp. The film has an unfocused feel and just degenerates into a standard Elm Street, without bettering any of the ones that came before. Also has a bit of a TV movie feel to it; strange, considering it didn't have a lower budget than the others. I have a problem with the Freddy Krueger films in general, TBH. The character's backstory is so horrible (and inkeeping with Wes Craven's earlier work) that it seems very strange to turn him into a gurning clown. The real horror's already happened by the opening titles. Jason X - Utterly glorious comedy installment of the Friday the 13th series. Gives up all pretense of being a horror movie by sending our boy Jason into space in the 25th century. The whole thing's played for laughs, from the crew of the spaceship down to the tremendously OTT murders. The immortal psychotic is even woken from cryogenic sleep by a vague sense that somebody, somewhere, is having premarital sex. Ridiculous plot holes only add to the fun, and you'll go mad trying to work out where you've seen most of the cast before. Easily the best in the series. Always an absolute joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The Amazing Spider-man 2 I really enjoyed the first on, so when the second one was released I was quite excited. With 3 villains I was scared it was going to be like Spider-man 3. Thankfully it was better, a lot better. A few characters could have done with more/ less screen time. However, I'm looking forward to the next movie. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Anchorman 2 Was really looking forward to this as Anchorman is one of my favourite films but it was a massive disappointed. Not many laugh out loud moments and the story just became ridiculous. Brick saved it a little 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookies Love Me Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 9 - animated movie. Not bad little story. Superb graphics. 7/10. Elysium - had to watch this as I love "District 9". Story is standard sci-fi fare. The special effects are very good and fight scenes are what you expect, very gory. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
