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 .

Poor. Although I do find Gemma Arterton attractive.

Watched it on Saturday. Wasn't expecting much & was pleasantly surprised, the film doesn't take itself too seriously and I do occasionally enjoy a film that doesn't require brains (unless they're being smeared all over the place). Not exactly top 100 material but you can't really go wrong with witches, blood and guts and Gemma Arterton.

7/10 on The Galted Scale Of Excellence

The Count of Monte Cristo. Not as good as the book but solid with some moments of pure badass and a lovely performance from Richard Harris

by dummy_half Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:05 pm

Two in the last few nights:

Jack Reacher - 8/10. good action thriller, although there is the obvious flaw that Reacher is supposed to be 6'5 and built like a rugby player, but is played by Tom Cruise. There are a couple of scenes that would work better if he was physically intimidating.

Source Code - 7/10. A bit Quantum Leap meets Groundhog Day, as Jake Gyllenhall gets to relive the same 8 minutes in an attempt to stop a terrorist attack. Would have liked the ending to be more ambiguous, but decently entertaining.

by ChequeredJersey Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:08 pm

Source Code would have been twice as good if it had finished 15 mins earlier. The ending is literally that galling

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:27 pm

Envy - 1/10

Ben Stiller with Jack Black and Christopher Walkin: Jack and Ben are both neighbours and friends. Jack invents a spray with make poo disappear, gets rich and Ben is not happy, unfunny series events ensues. Please avoid.

Agree - should have ended with the long pause and then just a couple of seconds of resumed movement.

evil dead remake good but i think still the old evil dead two best film

by **Enforcer** Tue Jul 09, 2013 11:02 pm

Seven Psycopaths - really enjoyed it and had a couple of good twists. It's a strong cast and they all seem to be having a lot of fun with it, would definitely recommend.

Just watched Goon. The ice hockey one. Just saw it online and gave it a go, had never heard about it before. Not bad at all, rather enjoyed it.

by MIG Fri Jul 12, 2013 9:32 pm

Audition. Wish I hadn't bothered.

Really like that movie, was quite surprising as wasn't expecting much

Went to see Now you see me last night

Enjoyed it, parts of it were trying to be too clever and I think the reveal at the end is a bit obvious but all in all it was decent

by ChequeredJersey Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:46 am

Hero. Brilliant, beautiful film with a heartfelt if controversial message. A+

Getting in with the Chinese early for the invasion, Azzy, it's the smart thing to do, and we all know they spy on our websites.

Or is that Obama?

Watching Star Wars.

This must be on at least 4/5 times a year.

Never get tired of it.

by JDizzle Sun Jul 14, 2013 10:21 pm

Monsters University. It was pure gold. Definitely lived up to Monsters Inc!

by mystiroakey Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:33 am

Watched Goon after others mentioned it.

Really good. Does anyone know if this is realistic-If it is what a sport!!!

One Night in Turin. A brilliant, masterful, overview of England's Italia 90 campaign. One that was very nearly a Roy of the Rovers story come true. I still think we'll beat West Germany when ever I watch it. Lovely stuff.

Yeah classic. Neil morrisey and rachael Wiess! I was in love with her after watching that film..

by Guest Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:21 am

Haven't watched it in years Myst but remember it being quite good. You can't get it anywhere apparently.

I watched 13 Assassins on Netflix recently. It's in Japanese with English subtitles, though still a very good watch.

by RinoGattuso Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:31 am

Redemption, not Jason Stathams best.

by bhb001 Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:59 pm

Despicable Me 2 (with the kids obviously). Good fun.

Kaboom. Still uncertain about this one. Too messy to be very good, but not badly made.

by mystiroakey Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:07 pm

Why obviously !!

by bhb001 Mon Jul 15, 2013 10:58 pm

Because I won't admit to wanting to see it myself!!

Me and some friends went to see Bambi at a local cinema when we were 19 years old (I'd never seen it). We went to the evening showing, so not too many kids around, but still got funny looks!!

I watched DuckTales: The Movie on my own in 1990 (I was in university at the time). The cinema was pretty full except for all the seats around me - all the mums accompanying their kids kept glancing nervously/angrily at me. It was awkward.

Yes, it went something like that!!

Watched World War Z today. Im not sure what to make of it as a film, but its a delightful way to learn that Brad Pitt a good looking 50-year old, which I assume is the point of the film.

by Mike Selig Tue Jul 16, 2013 3:25 pm

On the plane to Korea watched the Dark Knight (again): still a great film even though I know it backwards now. It will be interesting to see how this is remembered in 10, 20, 30 years time. Some criticisms of the film suggest it's too long, but I never felt it dragged, and not sure what storyline you could cut. In my view definitely one of the best films made in the last 10 years.

For some reason I watched superman II recently also. Quite refreshing to see a film which doesn't take itself particularly seriously; good fun, very cheesy and some lol moments.

by kingjohn7 Wed Jul 17, 2013 2:33 am

Watched World War Z, enjoyable enough but not worth forking out to go cinema to see it.

by Mr Bounce Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:09 am

I went to see Now You See Me. It has a great cast: Caine, Freeman, Ruffalo, Eisenberg, Harrelson & Isla Fisher and the premise is for a great movie. It doesn't quite work out that way. I saw the twist coming a mile away and three quarters of the way through it loses its way.

I came away with a real sense of "That could've been so much more". 6/10

by compelling and rich Wed Jul 17, 2013 11:36 am

Just watched training day, hadn't seen it since it first game out. Think its a decent film but one that does get massively overrated imo. For me its just alright

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed Jul 17, 2013 7:46 pm

Watched the Hunger Games last night. Not quite as good as the book but still a pretty good film. Jennifer Lawrence very well casted played the role perfectly.

by Shot 21 LCFC Wed Jul 17, 2013 7:58 pm

Training Day is a brilliant film!!!

by Skydriver Thu Jul 18, 2013 5:27 am

Pacific Rim.

I've heard that audience reaction so far is pretty tepid (the only reason I might attribute is the lack of star power in the cast list), but I thought it was very good.

Alien monsters ("kaiju") come to destroy the planet through a dimensional rift in the Pacific Ocean, humanity fights back with mega-robots ("jaegers"). Choc full of cliches and plot holes, but I'm happy to overlook those given some of the trimmings (e.g. some pretty interesting sci fi concepts, an effort to show some of the wider impact of the kaiju and jaegers on society) and great value summer entertainment.

Stripped down to its core, you could probably describe this as a big budget B movie. However, I rate this much higher than say Independence Day (which I would describe similarly).

by Guest Fri Jul 19, 2013 10:08 am

Sorry dude but I hated it for the points you reference; cliches and plot holes. Add to that some of the dodgiest acting I have seen in a while. I didn't really find it entertaining because it was too predictable which spoilt the enjoyment for me

Have to agree. Especially with Denzel playing the bad guy. Great performance

think the hype might have spoiled it for me, i just thought it was decent not brilliant. he won a oscar for it but could be any performance from denzil playing the angry black man. preferred man on fire than training day

by jimmyinthewell68 Sat Jul 20, 2013 12:08 am

watched the croods last night . animated cave man film that was really good

by **Crimey** Sat Jul 20, 2013 4:10 am

Watched the midnight showing of The World's End last night and it lives up to the previous two for sure, Eddie Marsan as Peter Page steals the film for me with a hilarious performance.

by ChequeredJersey Sat Jul 20, 2013 4:14 am

Monsters University- less charming but far funnier than the first one. Good film. A-
