The Sweeney was on last night, you slag!

What websites do you use to watch these films?

I use an Android box. Pick them up on ebay for about £50.

The Sweeney was on last night, you slag!

First time I've seen it - disappointed to be honest. Didn't bother until now as I heard it got poor reviews. None of the banter between Regan, Carter and Haskins that I used to love from the original shows. Maybe its me, I know its a different audience these days, but the original Sweeny though gritty for its time, had characters and charm that engaged you, with half decent stories. This was just a meltdown of trying to copy USA style shoot outs and violence. Think Ray Winston and Damian Lewis are great actors, but they were wasted in this pile of poo.

I only hope when I'm nearly sixty, physically screwed and fat, I can pull a bird like that though.

 

[Nick]

Have never seen the original one so can't compare it, I just like it because he says slag a lot!

Imitation Game - Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly. He plays codebreaker Alan Turing during WW2. Very good 8/10

 

[Marty]

Imitation Game - thought it was fantastic, very well acted by all, 9/10

Amazing story, it's almost unbelievable what happened to him. Definitely going to spend some time reading up on him.

WILD looks an interesting film with Reece Witherspoon.Based on a true story so worth a look ?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Imitation Game: 6/10. Engaging enough, but disappointed with the historical inaccuracies, including Turing being played as an Aspergers type. Didn't think it was significantly better than Enigma, which came out over a decade ago.

Big Eyes: 6.5/10. Predictable, light, pretty well-executed. Too much Waltz is not a good thing though, and Amy Adams barely registered.

American Sniper: 7/10. Gritty, spartan biopic. You're left to interpret things. Pretty weak in comparison to the Vietnam war flicks.

Nightcrawler: 9/10. Jake Gyllanhall amazing as a ratty sociopath. Neon LA, dark side of the American dream, social satire. Grand.

Whiplash: 10/10. Best film I've seen in a long, long time. High tension and utterly engrossing. You'll come out of it having had your state shifted. It'll be a travesty if JK Simmons doesn't win the Best Supporting Actor award. Watch it.

I put that new one with Owen Wilson on, based in the 70's. Absolute dog shit, turned it off after 30 minutes.

Just watched interstellar wasn't expecting much as my brother did not like it ..but I thought it was excellent if not a bit long ( nearly 3 hrs ) one of the better films I have watched recently

 

[Marty]

Birdman - Utter shit, how it's so highly rated, I'll never know. 2/10

I watched this last night, I agree it's a bit long, but if you can get through the opening third it's well worth a view, not sure the ending will be well received by all who take the time to watch. 6.5/10

 

[Marty]

Interstellar - Found it very predictable, Not bad though 6/10

beer and curry film! good watch!

 

[dancers lance]

Watched Nightcrawler (Jake Gyllenhal) last night, superb, a must watch if you appreciate antiheroes and american Psycho.

 

[Marty]

American Sniper, the story is better then the film as I'm sure is the book. 5/10

Fury, reasonably enjoyable, very unrealistic especially the scenes with the Panzer tank and the SS. 5/10

 

[mrtrench]

Just watched Le-weekend on DVD. Great film. I want to go back to Paris and see Beckett's grave now.

 

[Marty]

The Interview, surprisingly quite good. 7/10

 

[Marty]

Gone Girl, Very good. 8/10

 

[Nick]

Watched Fury last night, typical war film!

 

[Nick]

Gone Girl, Very good. 8/10

Yeah was good, weird though!

Has anyone here been dragged kicking and screaming by their other half to see that film of a book that women apparently like?

No. May as well just stick a porno on and do a proper job.

Julianne Moore favourite for best actress in 'Still Alice'. Called it a few pages back. Fantastic film and a great performance.

 

[skybluejelly]

Big Hero 6. Fantastic film, I was in tears at some parts they were so funny. 9/10
