Movie What's the last movie you saw? (4)

[Catfish Alley]

She doesn't

 

[SuperCats9]

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Wasn't sure I had ever seen it, so popped it on. Angelina Jolie does a great job as Lara IMO but the movie overall isn't that great, was hard to stay interested.

5/10

 

[DIG]

Divergent - hunger games ripoff it felt like. I didn't hate this chick flik completely but I reckon many would. For teenage girls after all!
5/10

 

[djrossie16]

22 Jump Street - It was pretty average but had a few laughs, Ice Cube and the football buggy chase which made it bearable. 5/10

 

[moses]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Andy Serkis is a genius.
9/10

 

[Macca19]

Ping Pong Summer - I liked it. Low budget coming of age comedy-drama about an 80s summer vacation and ping pong. Draws inspiration from movies like Adventureland, The Way Way Back and 80s stuff like Revenge of the Nerds. Very old school film making and lots of throw backs to the 80s. Acting is hit and miss but its a cool little story. 7/10.

Saw this the other day.

Very strange acting, but it worked in a way.

Love these types of movies.

Draft Day - Kevin Costner.
Great sports movie in the same vein as 'Jerry McGuire'. Really enjoyable.

7/10

 

[Marlowe]

Primer

What a mind *. I still have no idea what was supposedly happening. This is to prospective time travelers what driver-ed car crash videos are to prospective drivers.

 

[Magpiespower]

Sex Tape

Save some money.

And make your own.

 

[FRUMPY]

Plan to see it in about 2 hours.

Your final verdict?

*Edit - Fine effort from Tom Hardy to carry it on his own.
Good idea and quite special how it can keep you so involved with what it is - 1 man on a car phone for 1 & 1/2 hours…

7/10

Didnt know much about it before watching. one character in a car and multiple phone calls. sounds boring but actually was pretty good. kept me entertained for the 80mins. would have gone bonkers myself with so many phone calls though haha

 

[phantom13]

Deliver us from Evil- this is the 2006 doco on the systematic cover up of sexual abuse of kids by catholic clergy in the 70's and 80's not the new Bana horror flick. This is probably the most rage inducing expose I have ever seen, the Catholic Church is an evil unjust bunch of old scumbags. It's sad and solemn and the genuine hurt on the faces and in the voices of the victims and their families is heartbreaking. 9/10 but expect to be really broken inside afterwards, especially if you're religious.

 

[Catastic82]

Nymphomaniac was garbage 1/10 being very generous it was atrocious.

Dawn of the planet of the apes a solid 9/10... Brilliant movie

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

I was pleasantly surprised by Locke, I'm a massive Tom Hardy fan so I wasn't put off by the premise but I wasn't expecting to be so enthralled by 80 odd minutes of Hardy trying to maintain control of his life via a car phone. If it was anyone else it might not have worked imo, Tom Hardy just has such a strong presence about him that makes him such an interesting actor to watch. Also didn't realize until after viewing that it was written and directed by the guy who wrote Eastern Promises which is another quality film.

Also finally got around to watching The Deer Hunter and was just blown away by the intensity of some scenes, brilliant stuff.

This movie's about as much fun as watching C6 concrete dry. Not C5. C6.

Empire of the Sun.

Been a while since i'd seen it. Amazing film.

 

[NSWCROW]

Well " CAPTAIN AMERICA : THE WINTER SOLDIER " dropped a few hours ago so i watched that again

Marvel rating 9.5/10
Plebs rating 8/10

 

[Warsaw]

Oldboy (Spike Lee version) - A bastardisation of one of my favourite films. Void of all the emotional drive that made the original so impactful. Perhaps the unedited 140 min film is substantially better, but until then this is just another poorly made remake. Still lukewarm on Josh Brolin in general. 4/10.

 

[djrossie16]

The Apartment (1960) - Almost flawless in its direction and story. The balance of melodrama, wit and sadness is special. The ending and flow of scenes is as perfect a finale as i've witnessed. Noticing more and more that it's one of the harder things to do nailing that ending. Performances of course superb 9/10

Ivan's Childhood (1962) - Tarkovsky brilliance on display in debut. Contrasting the beauty of Ivan's dreams with the bleakness of his reality. Although maybe a bit too vivid and symbolic for a conventional guy like me it contained some truly breathtaking scenes. The "Kiss scene" has be one of the best i've seen. 8/10

Besson, you crazy French bastard!

Completely bonkers. But absolutely brilliant.

Not even sure WTF I was watching half the time.

Yet loved every minute of it.

Blood-splattered Scarlett is 100% sex bomb.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my acid flashback...
