I watched The Wee Man today

A Scottish gangster film based on the life of Paul Ferris , i actually enjoyed the low budget style of the film it hasn't had to many good reviews but it was better then a lot of the British style gangster films

Horrific story about child abuse.......Think every Parent should watch it..

Great film.

Think Brad Renfro would have gone on to have a good career, if he hadn't passed away.

Iron Man 3:
Better than the previous two, enjoyed it although the twist was clever, I was not a fan of it.
8/10.

The Prestige:
9/10
Incredible movie, I'm actually completely blown away by this. Fantastic Cast and such an awesome story.
Never knew you could make "Magic" this interesting!

by **Hero** Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:42 pm

Do you watch films and come away thinking 'well it's no Batman'?

by Bull Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:51 pm

What do you mean I just stated that The Prestige is incredible and have many other films I enjoy. Although TDK is my all time favourite.

by ChequeredJersey Sat Oct 19, 2013 1:21 am

Rush. I don't like Formula One at all, and went with some friends not expecting much but it was utterly brilliant. Really recommend it. Also a surprising amount of nudity including from Natalie Dormer

by Guest Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:22 pm

Yeah I really liked Rush, thought it was very well made. Where some of the racing scenes actual footage??

The chap that played Lauda was very good. Haven't really seen him in anything except for Inglorious B@sterds

by ChequeredJersey Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:24 pm

He's German so I presume he's been in some German films

by Guest Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:44 pm

I watched Pleasentville last night. I really do love this movie. Think it is so original and I never get bored of it

by Stella Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:02 pm

The Wee Man

A story about a man who goes around peeing on.............not really. A film based on the story of Paul Ferris, a Glaswegian gangster, who was a tad short, hence the title.

A good film with some believable characters

by jimmyinthewell68 Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:39 am

watched cloudy with meatballs yesterday . it was ok but seen lot better animation films . surprised they made a second one

Django... 8.5

Very good film and an easy watch. Even the girlfriend liked it and he is a film hater.

your girlfriend a HE . really enjoyed Django especially the pillow case mask scene and the part where Samuel L Jackson kept repeating everything leo said .

by Lumbering_Jack Tue Oct 22, 2013 10:32 am

SHE!

Samuel L Jackson was very funny in the film.

Stand out for me was the dentist. He played his part exceptionally well.

I'm not sure how close to reality the film was on the racism front?

One line at the end did make me chuckle, the 'person of African descent cage'.

by Lumbering_Jack Tue Oct 22, 2013 10:33 am

Of course the swear filter has amended that!!

by theundisputedY2D2 Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:27 pm

Watched Megamind with my girlfriend's son last night and thought it was brilliant, plus you can never go wrong with AC/DC and Guns n Roses in the soundtrack!

by Adam D Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:32 pm

I can watch that film over and over.

I love the bit at the end when Welcome to the Jungle plays.

"presentation!"

by theundisputedY2D2 Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:28 pm

That's my favourite part!

by Guest Tue Oct 22, 2013 6:24 pm

Went to watch Escape Plan last night

My God where do I start. Aside from the end when it went mental there wasn't half as many action scenes as I thought there would be. A lot of it is Stallone discussing the break out, without subtitles I couldn't understand a word he was saying.

The film tries to be clever, but I really couldn't care less, I just wanted to see Sly and Arnie blowing sh!t up. The last 10-15 minutes were kinda satisfying but it was a bit of a ballache to get there

been watching the rocky films this week, for some reason i decided to watch them again...i never get bored of watching them lol.

I watched Warm Bodies last night. I didn't really know what to expect from this as it's about a zombie whose brain starts working again and saves the life of a girl in danger then continues to protect her. When it was a bit slow to start (because of the zombies?) I expected it to be a bit rubbish.

It isn't. It was a great little feel good film. I was very impressed with the acting from Nicholas Hoult and the girl he protects played by the underrated Teresa Palmer. It's a fairly cerebral film with not too much zombie style horror (this was good as Mrs Bounce could cope with it!), and a well-performed voiceover in places.

It surprised me, and in a good way. 9/10

by Bull Wed Oct 23, 2013 10:55 pm

Prometheus.

Terrible,boring, nothing exciting at all and most parts were rather predictable.
4/10

4/10 is very generous. Shocking film from start to finish. Dreadful.

It might seem generous but the reason I gave it a 4 was due to the acting from Fassbender and Elba. Though other then that it was dreadful.

by Guest Thu Oct 24, 2013 12:51 pm

Couldn't see the point of Prometheus. The ending seemed as if it was edited by some kids off their nut on undiluted Ki-ora and how the hell did Rapace end up with an "baby" inside her then end up running around like a loon thirty seconds after performing her own abortion? (I'm willing to accept I may have fallen asleep prior to this point).

Massive case of style over substance but rubbish in the extreme

by **seanmichaels** Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:18 pm

Watched World War Z last night. Alright but you can tell they ran out of budget after the plane crash.

by Stella Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:21 pm

The Purge

Was ok, but it was a decent idea and could have been better. Especially the last 20 minutes.

5/10

I thought it was more to do with plot development. Maybe you're much more cynical than me!

Anyway, they stabbed Brad Pitt in the side with a bit of metal. I bet they had to pay him a few extra quid for that so maybe they DID run out of money.

Well the story is that it was supposed to be a trilogy then the financial backers pulled out. Film was condensed and I think that shows. It was basically a film of 2 halves. Hollywood blockbuster first half. low budget BBC3 drama second.

Like I said, you're clearly more cynical. I read something about a 2nd installment but didn't pay much attention. I tend to watch stuff about 6 months after everyone else is sick to the back teeth of them so I'm hardly at the forefront of what's hip, happening, phat, stupid 'n' poppin' fresh.

Have you not seen it then? Don't get me wrong I thought the first hour or so was quality. The ending was just sheeeet. Googled it a bit and it appears they re-hashed the ending mid filming for some reason. What was supposed to be a full on Zombie / Human battle in Moscow ended up being 7 Zombies and 5 healthcare workers in a BUPA hospital in Newport.

by Guest Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:58 pm

No, I've watched it and really enjoyed it. I like the bit when they're running though the back streets of Jerusalem being chased by zombies. I thought the second half was good too and wouldn't have worked with hordes of zombies running amok constantly.

You may very well be right about a lack of cash but as I've not read the book I don't know how true the film is to it.

by **seanmichaels** Thu Oct 24, 2013 2:07 pm

Definitely one of the better Zombie movies of recent years. I thought the Jerusalem escape scene was pretty special.

by Guest Thu Oct 24, 2013 2:20 pm

I read a certain review and it was clearly written by someone who hadn't actually seen it. At one point they talked about Peter Capaldi sat all alone in the research facility like Malcolm Tucker had just sworm all the zombies into submission and it's clear that Capaldi ISN'T ALONE.

I loved the sheer tenacity of the zombies though. When they're hurling themselves off that tower block trying o get at the helicopter and when they scale the wall in Jerusalem

As a point of interest (I use that term loosley) I downloaded the 3D version and there and certain cuts made from the regular version. In the beginning when Pitt sees a guy bitten and he undergoes the transformation, you see him/it slam his/it's head into a car window trying to get at the passengers and then violently beat his/it's arms against the windows several times. In the 3D version, you only see the headbutt

Dunno why they did that.

by **seanmichaels** Thu Oct 24, 2013 2:29 pm

I watched the extras cut on Virgin and remember that part.

by **hampo17** Sat Oct 26, 2013 9:48 am

I really enjoyed World War Z, due to it being a 15 it was a film that couldn't just rely on gore to shock people. It had a decent story line, however as people have said you can tell the financial backers pulled out.

It'sa shame really as it could have made a really decent triology complared to a cut and paste job.

by jimmyinthewell68 Sat Oct 26, 2013 10:50 am

watched an oldy but goody . its badly acted but fun . no retreat no surrender . a young van dame playing a Russian bad guy . typical 80s karate film but i do prefer it to karate kid . ghost of Bruce lee training a young bloke . would love to see a remake of this film

by Guest Sat Oct 26, 2013 3:36 pm

Watched Bad Grandpa.

Its better than any of the other Jackass movies (not difficult I know), but I was genuinely struggling for breath through laughing on a fair few occasions

by The Saint Sat Oct 26, 2013 4:06 pm

Looks like they just copied Borat with that one.

by Guest Sat Oct 26, 2013 4:32 pm

But Borat is rubbish and unfunny. This at least made people laugh

by Nakatomi Plaza Sun Oct 27, 2013 8:59 pm

Watched Side effects last night, starring Rooney Mara as the depressed wife of Channing Tatum. Jude Law and Catherine Zeta Jones play her psychiatrists. It's a suspense which explores the effects anti-depressants can have on a person.

The first 40 minutes drag, but there's huge plot twist which changes the pace of the film and it becomes more enjoyable. Unfortunately with the relentless pace of the second half of the film, there are more plot holes, which somewhat spoil a decent film.

6.5/10
