What film did you watch last night?

[Deleted member 23692]

2 Guns - Action crime comedy starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. It's not a masterpiece or work of fine art. It's not meant to be. It's meant to be entertaining and that's exactly what it is

7/10

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

Inside Out - I persuaded my daughter to see this based on the reviews above, she wanted to see Minions which I have read sucks a bit. Great film 9/10

RV - Runaway Vacation with Robin Williams. We watched it with the kids. Really good fun, I laughed, a lot.



We're renting an RV soon and I can see our trip being like this...

and don't forget this little gem...

That looks great. I didn't know Shane Warne used to act.

 

[w00hoo_kent]

Yep, better than hot fuzz, but not as good as Shaun of the dead

Interesting, I'd put Worlds End as a disappointing ending to the three and a movie desperately in need of a script doctor and editor. The 'humans are great 'cause we're crap' speech at the end sounded like a long winded Lister monologue from Red Dwarf and needed to be a third of the length. Some laughs, but nowhere near the other two. It just felt like they'd decided they could do no wrong and were then allowed to prove how misguided they were.

Horses for courses I guess.

Pitch Perfect. When I saw it was on I decided to give it a punt because of its cult status and we really enjoyed it. I can think of worse ways to spend a couple of hours, and I'm unsurprised there is a sequel coming out. Naturally, it's very much of its genre.

The Shawshank Redemption. Interesting one this, because I remember seeing it when it came out & being a tad underwhelmed. I think it's over-hyped syndrome - there comes a point where no matter how good something is, it's inevitably going to fall short of over-heightened expectations, so you come away vaguely disappointed. This time round I thought it was very good. Not 'the best film ever', as some would apparently have it - not by a long chalk - but might squeak into my top 100 (certainly not top 10). A good solid 8...perhaps even 9.

Human Centipede 3

One of the shittest,crapist movie i have ever had the displeasure to see.The acting is dreadful,Dieter Lasers would make a Troma film look like an Oscar winner,he is woeful and to be honest embarrassing.I couldnt believe a film could be so awful.There was nothing of any merit whatsoever.

The first was ok,the second was crap and now to add to the list of utter abysmal come this Godawful effort.

Avoid avoid avoid.I just wish i had. 0/10

I have seen worse reviews but still feel compelled to watch it, purely so I can tell people I've endured the whole trilogy. It really is terrible, and not in a 'good' way that you'd want from something that disgusting.

Tom Six is a joke of a director, he is possibly worse than Uwe Boll which I didn't think was possible.

 

[Paulus]

Gone Girl. It is obviously a woman scorned film with a reasonable twist at the end.

 

[swee'pea99]

The Negotiator. A curiously leaden and ponderous 'thriller', with nary a thrill in sight. Weird. Big budget, big names, but flat as piss on a plate, with Samuel Jackson playing the wronged cop (will he be vindicated in the end? Ooh the tension!), recently married to a woman who seems to share with him all the crackling sexual chemistry of John Noakes and Valerie Singleton, trapped in a siege situation only to emerge (spolier alert!) unscathed from attacks in which armed-to-the-teeth SWAT teams spray endless bursts without managing to hit our hero, who has wisely taken the precaution of hiding behind lumps of (presumably kevlar-reinforced) office furniture. A seriously risible pile of poo which nevertheless manages to get itself a 7.3 rating on IMDB, rather than the 3.4 it merits. Hollywood stodge.

 

[Wafer]

Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift - wow, so much teen angst, not that I've seen twilight but it felt like what I expect a male version of Twilight to be. Kids trying to be rebellious and work out 'who they are' with some god awful scripting. Made me think of Star Wars episode 1, some cool action scenes with poorly written bits about feelings in between.
Also thought the red Evo he spends most of the time driving was the worst looking car in the film and far too much American fan service with the finale.

 

[w00hoo_kent]

I agree started off interesting but went no where in the end, a bit of this a bit of that but not a lot of much else.....

I'm less worried I missed it now then. When we'd heard it was from the writers of Utopia (which we really liked) we felt a bit miffed it hadn't made it on to the PVR...

 

[MontyVeda]

I enjoyed Humans... it didn't have the same gripping suspense of Utopia, but was still a good watch. It's nice to get a slow burner once in a while.

write ups like that almost (and only almost) make me want to watch it just to see if the office furniture was Kevlar reinforced!

I saw Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation at the cinema.

A lot of fun, possibly the best of the series, and very impressed with Cruise's ability to do lots of his own stunts at his age.
