Monster Zero Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 American Pie ReunionSurprisingly not totally shit. I mean, it's nothing groundbreaking but if you ignore the other poor sequels (although I stopped at the wedding one) and just consider the first film and this as a catch up with the characters for their school reunion it's OK, some decent laughs. Basically all the original characters come back to town for the school reunion except Stifler who never left.7/10JawsUpgraded to BluRay, being as it's my favourite film and all. Remains so and it looks ace on BR, especially the later scenes at sea. If anyone ever remakes this film I will probably cry a bit. Thank God it wasn't made by George Lucas, a CGI shark would be in place by now. And Mayor Vaughn's anchor pattern sports jacket would probably have been replaced by something more tasteful, grotesque as it is.10/10The Spy Who Loved MeBought some Bond films missing from my collection in a charity shop. This is the one with the bad guy in the submerging underwater base and the cool white Lotus Esprit that turns into a sub. It is a Roger Moore Bond film so it's nae great but not one of the worst with him in it.7/10The Living DaylightsSee above. Timothy Dalton Bond film that I had not seen before. I would say Dalton probably ranks above Moore and Lazenby but behind the rest of the Bond actors. he is pretty effective until his scenes interacting with the gals and then he has a curious simpering expression on his face like a love-lorn schoolboy. The film itself was OK I guess although I'm struggling to remember the plot.8/10The Hunger GamesDecent film version of the first book which happily ditches a lot of the love triangle shite and manages to seem quite violent without actually showing any real blood and guts. Decent actors in place but when did Lenny Kravitz enter acting?9/10The HuntedFancied re-watching this, Benicio Del Toro plays a special forces soldier who loses the plot and starts killing hunters in the Portland woodlands. Tommy Lee Jones plays the man who trained him and who is contacted by the FBI to track him. TLJ is the man in this but then he usually is.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Went to see Dredd 3D last night.Not much of a plot but quite enjoyed it and reminded me of reading the comics as a youngster. Lots of action and good to see an 18 rated film.I hope they do a sequel and bring in Judge Death, I guess that depends on takings for this film though...

Moose Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 One Day - An adaptation of a novel with the same name. It follows two people, Anne Hathaway and some guy, over the course of 20-odd years, checking in on the same day every year. A classic will they/won't they type affair and very sad in parts (pure greetin'). Anne Hathaway is pretty good, bar her English accent which is all over the place. The male lead was good and his character was developed well throughout the film. Made me think about life and priorities and was surprisingly enjoyable. 6.5/10nb: no Hathaway tits, unfortunately. Well, they're out at one point, but you can't see them. You kind of expect tits from her now. Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 101 Dalmations - Classic. Not so tear-jerking as most Disney films. The Hunger Games - a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. Those who have read the book, is the first book longer? It seemed like it could have been a couple of hours longer like LOTR.

In real life she'd be smashed to bits and be dragged down the road and end up looking like a dropped kebab. [spoiler/] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like it could have been a couple of hours longer like LOTR.Yeah the book is longer as it covers more relationship stuff before the games and stuff happening during the training/games. Most of it was able to be removed or cut into a montage sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Day the Earth Stood StillNot much to write home about really, Neo comes down to earth in a big blue ball with a huge fuck off robot, wanders around causing chaos whilst the big fuck off robot does very little. Overall pretty disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Went to see Looper last night.Thought it was enjoyable enough, not as amazing as everyone had been wanking about though.The Love-Hewitt boy is pretty good in it but I won't say anymore for fear of spoilers.7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All movie have great moments, my fave being "Choke on it!!!" from Day of The Dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davetherave Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Forgot to mention the Blu Ray version of jaws is fantastic, like watching the movie again for the first time (think I've seen it about 6 times before). Being old enough to remember the grainy VHS versions, the blu Ray version just leaps out of the screen and everything looks so much better, even the giant rubber shark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mary Poppins - 10/10Watched this on Sunday night with some friends. First time in years.

Paranoid Android Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I watched Taken recently too. I'd go more 8/10. It doesn't have Dick Van Dyke dancing with penguins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I watched Zoolander last night. Not as funny as I remember but still some laugh out loud moments."You can dere-lick my balls, cap-itan"Apparently they're making a sequel soon.

Lemonade Posted October 23, 2012 Author 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
