Diesel Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Horrible BossesExcellent comedy. Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrel are all brilliant as the ridiculously over the top shit bosses. Enjoyed Jamie Foxx's performance as well.We watched this the other night. I carry an EpiPen with me, so the "stabbing" scene was particularly funny for me. Jennifer Aniston has some brilliant lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Kill The IrishmanBased-on-fact gangster drama about Danny Greene, who took on the Cleveland Mafia in the 70's. Starts off slowly, but develops into a pretty good fillum. I hadn't heard of the lead, Ray Stevenson (a Colin Firth looky-likey) before, but he does a good job as the enigmatic Greene. There's a decent supporting cast, including ole' Private Pyle himself - Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, Vinnie Jones, Steve Schirippa (Soprano's Bobby Baccala) and any number of recognisable gangster movie regulars. 7.5/10The Cabin In The WoodsWhere do I begin with THIS stoor o' pish? Starts out shite, gets a LOT worse before a brilliant ending. 3/10 for the first 75% and 10/10 for the last quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Jackboots on WhitehallPuppets, Nazi's, slightly political incorrect and a fuck load of explosions. All round good film. Probably higher than Team America in the comedy puppet chart. Highlights include the Punjabi Guard, the Frenchman who shags everything and the foul mouthed vicar. 4 swastikas out of 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Batman: The Dark Knight RisesPretty fucking awesome. At times it got a little bit too over the top and the big bad was too big and ridiculous. That little grip aside though it hardly put a step wrong. Fitting end to the trilogy and the only downside is it's probably going to be all too soon that it ends up being rebooted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 A Lonely Place To DieThriller set in the highlands of Scotland. Not bad really. A bunch of climbers stumble across a small girl buried alive and ruin some professional kidnappers best laid plans. A frantic pursuit through the mountains begins.It's a small budget film from (I think) a first time director. It suffers from the usual problems such films tend to have - slightly dodgy acting and a failure to resist the temptation to up the bodycount. They've bought loads of bloodpacks and squibs so damn it they're going to use them! Aside from that the director shows a great sense of timing which keeps the suspense and sense of danger going and you genuinely don't know who's going to walk out alive at the end (aside from Melissa George obviously as she's the only person anyone's heard of in it). Gets a little bit preposterous towards the end but overall it was an enjoyable watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 As a change of pace, we added a a few rom/rom-coms to the watch list at the weekend.The NotebookRomance, about a elderly gent (James Garner) in an old folks home in the present day, who reads a story from a notebook to a fellow patient (Gena Rowlands) who suffers from alzheimer's.The story, set in the 1940's, tells of the difficult relationship between a rich girl (Rachel McAdams) and a working-class boy (Ryan Gosling) and follows their lives over the next 7 years.A good old fashioned 3-hankie weepie (I'm too fukkin NAILS to cry btw) and it's hard to imagine the skinny, fresh-faced Gosling here stamping someone's heid into a pulp in "Driver". 7/10Love And Other DrugsEnjoyable rom/com, set in 1996 around the advent of Viagra, about an underachiever (Jake Gyllenhal) who gets a job as a rep with drug giants Pfizer and starts a tempestuous relationship with a young Parkinsons sufferer (a rather hot-looking Anne Hathaway). The film involves Jake trying to get doctors to buy a Prozac competitor, dealing with his fat millionaire brother and either arguing or rattling the lovely Anne. Hilarious in parts. 7/10Crazy, Stupid, LoveEasily the best of the bunch, this comedy start Steve Carrell as a mild-mannered (and boring) husband and father who falls apart when his wife (Julianne Moore) confesses to an affair with a colleague (Kevin Bacon) and asks for a divorce. A singles bar gigolo (Ryan Gosling) take pity on him and goes about restyling him and teaching him how to pick up women - with some hilarious results. Along the way both men discover things about themselves as do the other characters in the various sub-plots. 8.5/10 PasschendaleThis Canadian-made movie, set in WWI, is a kind of Saving Private Ryan Lite. Watchable if a little overlong. 6/10Irvine Welsh's EcstasyStaying with Canada (eh?), it's just as well that the movie's title is prefixed with the authors name, because this poor Trainspotting clone bears almost no resemblance to the story on which it was based ("Undefeated" from the book Ecstasy). The movie is set in Edinburgh, but most of the cast are Canadian. The only faces you might recognise are Billy "Pippin" Boyd and Stephen McHattie (300, History of Violence) and, in a quite bizarre piece of casting, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson as a Scottish doctor. The two main characters names are the same (Lloyd and Heather) and there's a wee scene at the end, but apart from that, the story is almost completely different to that in the book. 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hard Target - Its everything an action film should be, brutal, graphic and ultimately pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 DriveWell that was a lot stranger than I thought it was going to be! Recovered from a very slow start to be an engaging film with a few flaws. The soundtrack is fucking abysmal as is some of the styling. Gosling is pretty badass if a little emotionless. Carey Mulligan is great but it's quite an understated performance. Then to balance that up we get Ron Perlman shouting his way through the background of the film in his usual brilliant way. Suprising appearance by Christina Hendricks too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone.Harry Potter & The Chamber Of Secrets.I've purposely avoided all thing Potter until now but finally decided to give them a go now that all the annoying media hype has stopped. Actually really enjoyed these two films, although the acting is a little suspect at times - Hermoine in the first film over-acts horribly, and Draco Malfoy in the second one seems to be in such a rush to get his lines out he trips over half the words and forgets to enunciate anything except for spitting the "P" in "Potter". I like Malfoy as a baddie though, he's a proper little shitebag. If I were at Hogwarts I'd be in Slytherin.Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of AzkabanStraight away you can tell its a new director. The film looks stunning, the scenery is incredible, and loads of cool camera work etc and the whole film has a sort of "dream-like" quality. So far removed from the first two, which were essentially kids films. It's like they suddenly got a budget.****Harry Potter & The Goblet Of FireFor me the best of the series so far (I'm watching them all in order if you haven't guessed). The Tri-Wizard tournament is a nice setting for the story, it a change from the usual "another term at Hogwarts", with some cool action, especially in the maze at the end, and it all starts to get a bit dark, with "You Know Who" coming back. The bit when he turns into a fish is fucking stupid though.****Harry Potter & The ....something of something.BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING. Worst of the 5 I've seen so far. Hermione still too young to perv on.** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
