by **Kenny** Sun 09 Dec 2012, 1:42 pm

First topic message reminder :

I took the kids to the cinema yesterday to watch Rise of the Guardians , it's good but not great .......but the kids loved it so if your stuck for something to do then it's a good way to keep them entertained for a hour and half or so .

by **Galted** Tue 30 Apr 2013, 10:51 am

I haven't seen it yet so I don't know if I'm an idiot or not - will let you know in June when it's released for rental.

by bluestonevedder Tue 30 Apr 2013, 10:59 am

Let us all know as soon as you find out Galted. That is, if you can figure out how to turn your computer on, or even manage to work out how to pull back your duvet and exit your bed to grab your laptop.

by **Galted** Tue 30 Apr 2013, 11:03 am

No worries, hopefully I won't swallow the disk by mistake.

by mystiroakey Tue 30 Apr 2013, 12:36 pm

Its ok. Quite good infact.

However If you want some hardcore wizard, incest and fighting middle ages kind of stuff. Nothing beats GAME OF THRONES.

Oh and did i mention the amount of fit naked women

by **Kenny** Tue 30 Apr 2013, 5:00 pm

watched Rise of the Footsoldier lastnight .

Bit harsh but the hobbit is really very enjoyable - not talking about critical acclaim or film critic head on.

Seriously there's something a bitnwrongneith you if you couldntntakenitnfor what it was and enjoy it.

Iron man 3 was a garbled mess but I enjoyed it.

by Guest Tue 30 Apr 2013, 7:07 pm

Jack reacher - I haven't read this particular novel, but was unhappy about cruise playing what should be a 6ft5 ex army guy. I actually enjoyed, more down to the story than cruise but he's nowhere near as bad as I expected him to be. Read differing rumours that sequels are in the work and others saying it was a one off, but I'd probably welcome more

Ironman 3 - I personally found this the best of the three ironman films purely because Downey jr sucks you in such is his on screen charisma, this franchise will really struggle to replace him if marvel don't bend over backwards to secure him for future movies. I really enjoyed it overall, actually thought it was excellent, except for one bit at the end of the final battle which annoyed me slightly, and the scene after the credits annoyed me as well. I was hoping for Thor teasers...it wasnt

Stand By Me

one of my favourite feel good films , i can watch this over and over again . Dreyfuss's voice over still evokes emotions

Vampyre Nation .....................avoid at all costs

The Black Hole ........................... so bad it's still good

by Guest Fri 10 May 2013, 12:53 am

Star Trek into darkness

Epic. Just epic.

by westisbest Fri 10 May 2013, 6:42 pm

Judgement Night.

Love this film.

Good cast.

Emilio Estevez
Jeremy Piven
Cuba Gooding Jnr
Stephen Dorff

Denis Leary.

by mystiroakey Fri 10 May 2013, 6:55 pm

The place beyond the pines.

Wonderfully strange film.

I dont want to say to much because its one of them films that i could give major spoilers away about just from the smallest detail.

Great performances from gosling and cooper..

9/10

by Bull Fri 10 May 2013, 9:37 pm

21 jump street - was awesome and much better then expected - 8/10

Watchmen - expected better but got the jest of it unlike others who said it was confusing 7.5/10

Fight Club - yes i should of seen this film ages ago though have to say its awesome one of the best there is 10/10!

by Guest Thu 16 May 2013, 10:23 pm

Big fan of the Aliens movies and finally got round to seeing Prometheus last night.

Wish I never had........

by hornbloweroafc Fri 17 May 2013, 10:19 am

Eventually got round to watching the Amazing Spiderman and really enjoyed it. Darker and much better than the other three with Toby Maguire (although i did enjoy them as well).

Even the wife liked it and she hates superhero films thumbsup

8/10

by **Derbyblue** Fri 17 May 2013, 1:20 pm

Iron Man 3- Good action scenes, interesting story line, good bits of comedy added in. All added up to be a very good film, will be a shame if Robert Downey Jr really is done with the character if they want to keep the franchise going Marvel could really struggle to replace him.

by Guest Fri 17 May 2013, 1:34 pm

Star Trek (remake) - really don't see what the fuss is about and won't be breaking my neck to watch the latest installment

Can I ask are you a Trekkie or not?

Personally I'm not and I loved the latest one, completely owns the reboot from start to finish

I watched nick and Norah's infinite playlist earlier, bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, plus Kat Dennings is a wee bit of eye candy

by mystiroakey Sat 18 May 2013, 11:14 pm

Iron man 3 -very good 8/10 . RDJ is awesome in this one.. The only let down for me is guy pearce- but he is passable..

star trek - good 7.5/10, Cumberbatch is awesome. in this. But the film without his scences seem a little bit chessy and nicey nicey for me!

by Rowley Sun 19 May 2013, 1:38 pm

Watched the Last Stand with Arnie. Largely enjoyable nonsense.

by westisbest Sun 19 May 2013, 8:59 pm

Star Trek: Into The Darkness.

Watched it in 3D.

As a 'non trekky', thought it was a good film, better than the first.

All the more better then watching in 2D.

by Guest Mon 20 May 2013, 11:18 pm

Just been to see the great gatsby, didn't think I'd like it but very happy to hold my hands up and say I was wrong

One of the most captivating movies you'll see this year, lurhmann has created a totally immersable world that will draw you in and Di Caprio as always is outstanding. A tip of the cap to Maguire as well, I'm not his biggest fan but have no complaints about him here

A refreshing change to see a movie entertain because of the substance of the story and not the action or the special effects.

Loved the soundtrack as well giving modern hits a classic 1920s sound.

by kingjohn7 Tue 21 May 2013, 12:25 pm

Just watched Gambit with Colin Firth. Was on Blinkbox for 99p. It was not money well spent.
Apart form a funny scene in a Hotel.

yeah I gave that a miss following the trailer, didn't look very good

by teassoc Tue 21 May 2013, 1:09 pm

I watched a couple of films - one much better than expected and one worse.

I was disappointed with Django. I normally enjoy Tarantino's films but this started OK but then disappointed. I didn't warm to DeCaprio as the rich southern plantation owner at all. Jamie Foxx never came alive as the hero and for most of the film was really following Walz (whose character I did enjoy).

I did however enjoy People Like Us. Not usually my kind of film but it was fun to watch Chris Pine's character develop into ultimately a much better kind of person.

by **Galted** Tue 21 May 2013, 1:59 pm

Platoon - watched it on the weekend 20-odd years after first seeing it, didn't think too much of it first time around & still don't. Shameful overacting & one OTT scene after another. Tempted to say it wasn't very realistic but, I don't know 'cos I wasn't there, man. 5/10

Princess Mononoke - third Studio Ghibli film I've seen, not as good as Spirited Away but preferred it to Howl's Moving Castle, not as endearing as the former and less sentimental than the latter, great escapism. 7/10

Goodbye Lenin - Ok I suppose, didn't know whether it wanted to be a farce, a drama or a love story. Had its moments as well as a plot frequently stretched to breaking point. 6/10

by mystiroakey Tue 21 May 2013, 2:26 pm

Killer Joe.
Kind of a black comedy and kind of a nasty film!!
Either way. It had that grit of a British council estate gangster wannabe type film but was just so unrealistic- every character was just a complete A-hole , all black as black. Not even a glimmer of grey. Therefore it was kind of enjoyable because it didn't seem real . But then bang a scene hits you and you feel sorry for someone..
One scene is in my top 5 darkest scenes in film.. (But then I am probably not the worlds expert on dark scenes as I don't watch that many horror type films!!)
Anyway good watch- Really strange seeing Matthew McConaughey in such a different role.
Its a weird film. I could imagine many people liking this film a lot and others thinking it's the worst film they ever saw.. For me though 6/10. worth the watch even if it was strange!!!

by **Kenny** Tue 21 May 2013, 4:14 pm

watched The Sting and The Sting 2 yesterday

the first one is good film but why oh why did they make a second one Rolling Eyes

by Stella Tue 21 May 2013, 4:18 pm

Piggy

Not a bad brit flick, but why does every film have to have a romance story in the back ground?

I havent seen the second and didnt even know it existed. I love the first.

Stella

My GF was talking about piggy yesterday. I brushed it aside!

Maybe I will watch.. But that pig face looks a bit evil!

by nadeem2099 Tue 21 May 2013, 4:31 pm

Insidious

by Stella Tue 21 May 2013, 4:33 pm

Mystir

I watched it as there was sod all on. It wasn't bad though. Quite violent, which is not seen, just left to your imagination.

Sting II
Jackie Gleason plays Fargo Gondorff rather then Newmans Henry Gondorff
Mac Davis plays Jake Hooker rather then Redfords Johnny Hooker
Oliver Reed is Lonnegan rather then Robert Shaw
and Karl Malden plays Gus Macalinski a local racketeer

not sure if it's a sequel or a cheap copy , the plot is about a fixed boxing match were Gondorff and Hooker con both Lonnegan and Macalinski

its a poor imitation of the first film

by Adam D Tue 21 May 2013, 4:54 pm

I watched American Pie: The Reunion which was quite good in parts. A solid 7/10

Also watched Wrong Turn 4 which was a lot better than any fourquel has the right to be. 6/10

by **Enforcer** Tue 21 May 2013, 5:46 pm

Skyfall, finally got round to watching it after meaning to see it in the cinema. Probably my favourite of the Daniel Craig Bond films.

by Sir. badgerhands Wed 22 May 2013, 3:27 pm

Watched Headhunters last night.

Norwegian, crime drama/thriller that was very good.

Well-paced all the way through and very funny in parts.

by **Kenny** Wed 22 May 2013, 11:42 pm

Watching Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger on Sky Family right now

what great special effects Very Happy

, but it does have Jane Seymour in it

by westisbest Thu 23 May 2013, 8:54 am

Django Unchained:

Decent film, although not as good as i expected.

Thought Dicaprio/Jackson played their parts well.

Foxx was ok in it.

by Guest Fri 24 May 2013, 12:09 am

Fast and furious 6

All I can say is I've seen more believable movies were aliens have come to out planet and started an intergalactic war. Can't say it wasn't entertaining though providing you switch off your brain for the duration of the movie

Spoiler:

by kingjohn7 Fri 24 May 2013, 4:52 pm

Dumb & Dumber. Seen along time ago but saw it for about£2 so bought it. Almost every scene is funny, and was happy to find out that I still found it funny now. Im not even a fan of Jim Carrey, but for me 9/10.

Hangover 3.

Weakest one out of the three, as I thought it would be.
Still some funny parts.

by mystiroakey Fri 24 May 2013, 10:06 pm

Stella.

Just finished watching Piggy.

It was decent..

Cant beat the fight club theme but at the same time different enough to be its own film. It is better than its rated -7/10

I saw it last night. Didn't have great expectations, but thought it got funnier as it went along. Quite a few of the gags fell flat, particularly those from Zach Galfalnakis. Chow was always funny though. Overall it was an easy watch. 6/10

by mystiroakey Sun 26 May 2013, 8:44 am

weaker than hangover 2!

ermmm..
