Deliberately avoided that one Nick.

With the religious slant on it I just wouldn't have been able to suspend my disbelief.

Nick · Jul 15, 2014

It was just weird, to be fair I missed half of it through nodding off!

Also watched Need for Speed, predictable but not too bad!

Marty · Jul 15, 2014

Quite enjoyed the Robocop remake. Dallas buyers club is superb. Grudge match is dreadful.

Nick · Jul 15, 2014

Yeah Dallas Buyers Club got quite deep but was decent.

Also watched Transcendance with Brad Pitt, weird but not too bad!

Marty · Jul 15, 2014

Are you into Thriller/horror films? Some excellent Korean stuff if you don't mind reading subtitles.

Nick · Jul 15, 2014

I tried to watch one but hate sub titles although raid 2 looks good!

Marty · Jul 15, 2014

There's some fantastic stuff, I saw the Devil, A tale of two sisters, Bittersweet life, Oldboy, Lady vengeance and my favourite, The chaser.

Nick · Jul 15, 2014

I have old boy I think but not seen it, didn't know it was korean though

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.

Nick · Jul 15, 2014

The new planet of the apes should be good!

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.

Nick · Jul 16, 2014

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.

footyfrenzy · Jul 20, 2014

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

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 20, 2014

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.

i only get to watch Kids movies these days, which aint all bad. enjoyed the lego movie in 3D and muppets most wanted (not a sisu recruitment drive) was entertaining.

having said that cineworld in rugby did show pulp fiction the other week as an anniversary special so we had a lads night out to watch it.

turlykerd · Jul 23, 2014

me and my wife had a little fall out, so i convinced her to sit down with me , a bag of dips and noah ..... around 1 hour into it, she said to me "if this is
going to be my punishment, im never going to fall out with you again !!"

i will never get them 2 hours back, how the fuck is it 6.2 on IMBd ????

on another note, i dont know weather to love or hate "the leftovers" ??

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 25, 2014

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

Has anyone seen starred up? That is a good film and is released on DVD next week

About prison? Will keep my eye out

Marty · Jul 26, 2014

I've got a copy of that starred up, was going to stick it on this evening. I'll post up if it's worth watching

tom88 · Jul 26, 2014

Yeah it's about prison. The story is amazing and it all comes together at the end really. Went to the showcase to watch it and want to see it again

It's a good British film if anyone can put the trailer up that would be great

Nick · Jul 26, 2014

I purchased it online this morning to watch later

Did you watch it Nick

Nick · Jul 27, 2014

I watched most of it, fell asleep for a few minutes in the middle. Wasn't as good as I thought it would be though

Marty · Jul 28, 2014

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

Watched Need for Speed last night, wasn't expecting much, easy to watch and entertaining enough to keep you watching. 6/10

Really fancy watching, Dawn of the planet of the apes, Is it just Odeon & Showcase cinemas left open now??
