tongue_tied_danny Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It A couple of funny moments and some decent tits are the only things preventing me from putting this film in the Worst Stinkers thread. 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Currently watching Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes for the first time. I like the concept behind the entire POTA franchise, and despite a couple of stinkers (Conquest and Tim Burton) the other three were decent enough. A couple of plot holes here and there that cause petty grievance though. I think the trailer for the prequel sequel looks pretty poor but this has been a surprisingly enjoyable watch. As far as CGI action goes, Michael Bay could learn something from this. The plot and idea is good, it's relatively clever without being self indulgent. IMO, a reboot of the entire POTA "story" is a good thing so this is a promising start (although as I've said, Dawn looks quite poor) It will age terribly but this is a decent enough watch.

somecallmetim Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Watched Grabbers last night, fairly amusing for a British\Irish comedy horror. Pretty light on the horror but funny enough if you've had a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I was watching John Carter the other night, actually quite enjoyed it. It goes on far too long though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecallmetim Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah, I thought John Carter was not bad too. Always nice to see British actors cast as the baddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Non Stop. Stars Liam Neeson as an air marshal. There seem to be quite a few of these aeroplane-set films about. An efficient thriller. 6/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Drinking Buddies decent performances from Olivia Wilde, Ron Livingston, Anna Kendrick and Jake Johnson (Nick from New Girl). It won't be your favourite film, but you won't hate it either. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Boyhood Stunning film, best of the year. A truly original idea that was pretty much perfectly executed. Richard Linklater cast a young boy at age 6 then shot a script about the trials and tribulations of family life over a 12 year period, denoted by music of the time.How much of the casting was luck and how much was an eye for actors isn't clear, but to choose a boy at age 6 and have him wind up a terrific actor is pretty incredible. Daresay some folk wont like it as it really focuses in on the minutaie of childhood and family life, but there's something immensely satisfying about watching someone graduate when you've spent nearly 3 hours watching snapshots of his life. Loved it. Agree entirely with this. I actually think they landed on their feet well with his sister too, who started off annoying as f**k but actually developed her character fairly well in the snapshots. The parents were well cast too, as were the others who popped in and out of the story. A real treat of a movie, although some will probably hate the concept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Starred Up Jack O'Connell is a 19 year old who has been shifted out of a young offenders institute and into prison. His dad is also there, and this movie basically chronicles a spell there where he develops different relationships with different folk in the prison. It's a sometimes brutal but always engaging movie this. The stuff between him and his dad goes into hammy territory at times and that's really the only negative I can find with this one. Everything else is absolute magic and while I was expecting a very good movie here, this one did manage to exceed expectations still. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I watched both Savages and Silver Linings Playbook yesterday. Savages was okay, watchable but nothing special. Silver Linings Playbook was excellent though. Great script, great performances, a really good watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The Matrix 5//10 This was on the other day. Did the (apparently) shitty sequels kill love for the original? I liked what it was trying to do, in all of its Icke Forum nonsense. Much better in the paired scenes between Fishburn and Reeves than the action sequences for me. At some point it stops being a thinkpiece and starts blowing stuff up. It's done fairly interestingly if a bit ridiculously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Oculus ( 2014 ) Seeing WWE Studios at the start of a movie always sets the alarm bells ringing for me, but this one certainly didn't follow the usual pattern. A pretty good horror movie from this one, as a brother and sister go back to the house that they lived in with their family as children, and take back the mirror they had back then to prove it was responsible for everything that happened there. What follows is two stories. One in the past and one in the present as we see what happened(s) in both. It's pretty well put together, and doesn't always rely on the cheap scares and clichés in order to get it's results. The climax and final scene are both pretty well done too. 7/10 Oh, and for me, The Matrix is an amazing movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The Prestige- 8/10. Second time I've seen it and it's a much different watch from the first time. Twists left, right and centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
