Deliberately avoided that one Nick.
With the religious slant on it I just wouldn't have been able to suspend my disbelief.
although raid 2 looks good!

I went to watch Transformers 4 yesterday out of morbid curiosity. One of the worst films I've ever seen. It's as though Michael Bay is a 12-year-old boy.

I watched the first Transformers movie but gave up after about 40 mins. Have not watched any more of the series since.
Just don't get it or indeed the appeal to a mass audience.

I thought Bambi was a bit predictable. Dumbo was okay, but a flying elephant? C'mon!

Bloody is. Watched the first, painful half hour or so. By the end of that Noah had received his message from God, pretty much built the ark, pretty much filled it with animals, told Ray Winstone and co they were fucked. But there were still two hours left in the film. How?! Abandoned it then and there.
Hollywood is finished as it was known and loved from the 1910s - 1990s. It feels ironic that the demographic that gets the best stuff is the kids; all those Pixar cartoons are heavy on story. We, the adults, get witless dialogue and romcoms and bloody big guns. When Mrs Brown's Boys: D'Movie and Transformers 4 are topping the box office, you know that we're treated with contempt. At least TV is picking up that creative slack.

Watched this last night : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2360446/
It is no Hollywood blockbuster, but an easy watch with a couple of random bits taking the mick out of hooligan films!

Noah was diabolical.
Snowpiercer is great, especially Tilda Swinton's character:

Watched All Is Lost. I guess for something like that you have to be particularly gripped by brilliant acting performances, which I this definitely had. Just the concept did not interest me at all.

Good call. I saw that a few months ago and was gripped from start to finish. It's proper filmmaking: around 90 minutes, starts as close to the end as possible, and manages to hold the viewer despite there being one actor and only a few lines of dialogue. Highly recommended.

Watched Noah and have to agree it is bloody awful, saw Starred up last night which was very good

Going to watch 'Harsh times' tonight. Never seen it, slip passed me. And I'm a big Christian Bale fan so alls good.

I liked the film. I was dissapointed however by the abrupt ending. In my eyes the film should have had him going even deeper into his psychosis, perhaps allowing it to completely take him over at some point.
And yes, Bale's acting was brilliant as usual.

Trailer for the new Jake Gyllenhaal film Nightcrawler. Looks pretty good, a bit Fincher-esque.

I agree Nick, wasn't all that good. The acting was brilliant though. 7/10
