Skubbs Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Keep - an 80s horror flick about Nazi's and unleashing some demon. Utter pish - you are constantly asking yourself "what the hell is happening?". I gave in and looked it up online halfway through, and turns out even the author of the book thought the film was a train-wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) White Men Can't Jump - Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes play a pair of wise-cracking street basketball hustlers. There's a lot of early-90s pastel shades, some baddie gangsters. Stuff happens. For some reason this wasn't terrible.**** Edited February 25, 2015 by Lemon Raspberry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Starman: Jeff Bridges is an alien who takes the form of the bit o' gear from Raiders of the last ark's dead husband and he just wants to get back to his alien muckers in Nevada. Bit of a cheese fest mostly but I enjoyed it. Jeff Bridges playing a retard/alien is quite amusing. 7/10 Westworld: A theme park in the future has robots that look like real people dressed up as cowboys in the wild west. tourists go there and generally shoot and hump robots until the robots go wonky and start fucking everyone up - especially Yul Brynner who is some sort of mad hunter killer cowboy in black who just won't fucking die. The main protagonist (I use the term lightly coz he seems like a total dick) has a totally shanty mozzy and looks like a panned in B-movie Freddy Mercury whilst his cohort looks like a gleckit Patrick Bateman. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I saw Kingsman last night, absolutely one of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen. I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - this was a tough sell for me, nothing about it sounds like a film I want to watch. A light hearted drama in which a bunch of retired Brits (headed by Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy) leave behind their lives in Britain to go and spend their retirement in a retirement community in India, which turns out to be a crumbling hotel run by a young Indian chap with lofty ideas but no money. They all discover themselves, blah blah blah. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this.**** The Punk Singer - documentary about Kathleen Hanna, lead singer pf Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and Julie Ruin, and also artist, feminist and activist. I've gushed at length before on this site about my admiration for Kathleen Hanna, but ICYMI, I love Kathleen Hanna, so Kathleen Hanna The Movie was always going to appeal to me. Predictably, I absolutely loved, it's probably not even that good, but for fans its a must-see.***** Edited March 10, 2015 by Lemon Raspberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Interstellar: either 10 out of 10 or 2 out of 10. I honestly don't know if it was amazing or shite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Angel's Share - my mum gave me it on DVD for Christmas. Finally got round to watching it. Thought it was excellent. Light hearted and funny but with stuff to say. A good drinking movie to add to the list.My mum still thinks dvds are things people buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great picture. Every time I watch the actual "white men can't jump" bet scene, I keep hoping it ends differently. My stomach is in knots, praying that Woody pulls off a monster dunk so he doesn't lose all his dough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only own one Bikini Kill CD and all the Le Tigre ones, made me want to collect up more but for some reason all her back catalogue is crazy priced. I didnt know she was married to Ad Rock fromBeastie Boys either. For some reason I always thought she was a lesbian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 She and Ad Rock are such a power couple. I love how much of an influence she had on him too and how after the Beasties all entered relationships, their lyrics actually spoke about respecting women. That speech he gave about sexual abuse at the MTV Awards is brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm never not watching tv. But choice picks of what I watched recently were: Snow On Tha Bluff - A hyperreal, found footage version of Boyz N The Hood without the weird stand by me rip off. Gone Girl - More twists and turns than an OAP in a car. Men are from mars, women are from hell basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I can't believe I've never watched it before but I watched Videodrome last night. Absolutely amazing, especially the bit where he fists his gut vagina with a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Harmontown - Your favourite show runner is actually a dick. He has obvious mental health issues but his attitude has actually put a slant on some of the humour in the new community. Jokes towards NBC and Chevy come across as someone who is very immature and bitter. Great film mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Eagle vs Shark Found it in a charity shop. Bought it because it had Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords in it. He's very much Jermaine, but without the music. Bit of a dorky yet kind of bleak comedy, a little like Napoleon Dynamite. Nothing really happens, but Jermaine says stuff that is funny. S'alright.

Jaaakkkeee Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Taxi To The Dark Side - Basically backs up what we know but with some quite disturbing and graphic photo evidence and video. Interviews with soldiers, experts and prisoners. Basically the coallition forces did some fucked up stuff in Afghanistan and Guantanamo. And Bush/Cheney okay'd it all.

James Broonbreed Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I thought it was amazing too but I'm not sure if some of the rave reviews are a tadd over the top. I'd like to watch it in 2D again. Imax is fucking lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the best action movies that I've seen in years. I have also very much enjoyed the hysterical menanist responses on "the internet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy1969 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 yeah I agree about the new Mad Max movie, a 2 hour rollercoaster ride! Went to see 'Tomorrowland' at the weekend - 6/10 not too bad but could have been better - nice CGI effects and Hugh Laurie as the villian were the plus points.

Stroopy121 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Went to see Spy yesterday. Was gobsmacked by how ace it was. Avoided rom-com territory in favour of being a straight-forward action/comedy and has some hilarious dialogue and excellent performances. Jude Law's attempt at an generic American accent (or Generican accent, if you will) is a fucking embarrassment, though. Genuinely the best action comedy I've seen in a long time, right up there with Jump Street and The Other Guys. It's no Citizen Kane, but it's fantastically good at what it does. 5/5 xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
