Stroopy121 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 If it's not called 2lander I'll be fucking pissed.Watched a few films, mostly awesome.CharadeAudrey Hepburn flick about a lass who's husband is murdered and his old war buddies are all involved in a scheme to steal some old treasure. Lot of fun, aged really well bar the odd "special" effect.8/10Star Wars: New HopeBetter than I remembered, didn't feel like 2 hours at ALL. Even the wife thought it was OK.9/10 (I'd give it 10, but I need to rank Empire a little higher when I watch that, so based on a curve it's only a 9.)Before SunsetOn a book tour, an author bumps into an old flame and goes for coffee. The whole movie is in real time for the next 2 hours when they have a catchup before he has to get a flight home. Fucking incredible. Such a clever film, the characters are rich and lovable, there are no annoying cheese flashbacks or any real filler material. Just completely sucked me in, loved it.10/10xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Knob Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Also, has anyone seen the leaked images of the new Robocop suit? It looks fucking shit. I hope they are still going to be adding CGI and whatnot.Gads. Looks like Batman and Iron Man had a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Kill Bill (Part One)It was on tv over the weekend so I watched it. First time I'd seen it since it was at the cinema and I'm glad that it held up. 3/pi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Third one should be out soon, have you seen the first one?Wait, that's a sequel?!I had literally no idea, I only watched it because I asked for everyone's "favourite movie" recommendations on facebook. Whoever suggested it didn't mention it being a sequel, the bastard. I hate watching serieses out of order.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Wait, that's a sequel?!I had literally no idea, I only watched it because I asked for everyone's "favourite movie" recommendations on facebook.

The characters appear briefly in Waking Life as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Gads. Looks like Batman and Iron Man had a shit.It's pretty balls. I'm not holding out much hope for it. I fucking love the original Robocop. There's so much satire in it about dystopian future etc, as well as the fuckloads of mindless violence. Apparently its crammed full of Christian imagery as well, though I've never really noticed it.Might have gone a little OTT in my review a couple of years ago though. A masterpiece? Robocop - Haven't seen this since I was a kid, and just bought if for nostalgic reasons really, but there's a lot more to this than the blood and bullets-fest I remembered. It's a real satire of the excess of 80s America, and is set in a future where the corporations and more importantly, the yuppies now control everything, including the military, the police, and the hospitals. Also the Cold War has escalated, and world appears to live permanently on the brink of nuclear war as every country appears to now have nukes - and watch out for a nod towards Reagan's "star wars" program. In addition to all this, the action is fucking great, there's buckets of blood, and the Robocop suit still look a sci-fi nerd's wet dream, even 20 years on. A masterpiece.***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I always find Robocop's approach to crime prevention mental. See's somebody robbing a corner shop for $100 and he blows up everything up and deals out some serious violence. He just doesn't give a shit. I hope they keep doing that in the new one, over the top punishments FTW. Taken is pretty decent. It does lack DVD dancing with penguins right enough. Hopefully Taken 3 takes place on an iceberg or something and they can address that issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Also I've got a lend of Siege of the Dead off somebody at work and on the cover it says 'Romero would be proud!'. Romero is still alive ain't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 That Robocop suit looks bollocks. Homocop more like. He's probably got a wand instead of a gun.I would not buy that for a dollar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the RingDecided to start watching the trilogy through again during my day off yesterday. I've got the extended version so it lasts for a solid 3 hours. I last watched it about 2-3 years ago. It's still awesome. Sean Bean is still the best character in the Fellowship. The Orc who informs Sauromon of the deep tree roots still gets hearty giggles from me.4 destroyed rings out of 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 SkyfallVast improvement on the last Bond outing and one of the best Bond films for a very long time. No more irritating fast bourne edits during action sequences and a genuine evil genius baddie intent on doing credible harm. Great performances from Javier Bardem, Daniel Craig and Judi Dench. Lots of surprises too. Some very predictable and some I should have predicted.Only bit that really annoyed me was when the gamekeeper (who overall I could have gladly done without) handed Bond a gun and said "there's just your dad's old hunting rifle". It was a fucking shotgun! Shoddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fucking shotgun! Shoddy. I went to see this at the weekend, was a good film, wife was disappointed in Daniel Craig and how he looked more than anything. Her word were "bond should have an air of class and sophistication, not looking rough like an alcoholic." Also with the gamekeeper, for having spent his life in the highlands of Scotland, was oddly very English sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Her word were "bond should have an air of class and sophistication, not looking rough like an alcoholic." At the start of the film he looked pretty classy, scrapping on the train in his suit. Then he was pretty sharp at the casino as well. The problem I suppose is that for a large part of the film he IS an alcoholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah I got that, but she has a big thing about hair, and at the start declared he looked like a chav because of his hair cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Saw Skyfall on Fri and I thought it was ace!By the Way Chris: After Bond and M arrive at Skyfall they review the available weapons with Kincade. Kincade hands Bond what looks like a double barrel shotgun and says that is was his father's hunting rifle. This is an "express rifle", a double barreled large caliber rifle designed for dangerous game at close range, and easily mistaken for a shotgun.From IMDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Saw Skyfall at the cinema last week and loved it from start from finish. Much much better than Quantum of Solace.On DVD I watched a great film called 13. Ray Winstone, Jason Statham, 50 Cent, Mickey Rourke and Sam Riley so pretty neat cast apart from 50 cent who cannot act for toffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
