Police Squad is even better than Naked Gun

 

[Jatz]

Haha I had the same experience. Went in not knowing a thing about it. Turns out it's probably the funniest movie of the 2000s for me.

Haha yeah seriously! Was not expecting to laugh during that.

My rage has chilled this morning but I'm still standing with a 0/10 for Mother! and I cant recommend highly enough to not bother with it. In terms of positives, the first half is very well made, unnerving and uncomfortable with the way its filmed and the sound design. Unfortunately it completely and utterly loses the plot for the second half and buries itself under a thick layer of wank and horrible choices. Read a long winded pretentious rant from Darren where he talks about how the ideas came to him in a "fever dream" and that makes perfect sense of the second half. Don't get me wrong, the film doesn't make any sense, but how he came up with the garbage makes perfect sense.

Really needs its own thread.

It does you dork

Why are we posting in last years thread?

(5) guys...........(5)

Yeh just posted my rambling incoherent thoughts in there. Should have said "I really need to post in there"

 

[Shell]

0/10 is a pretty massive call... I'd give those type of scores for the Will Ferrel drivel I've sat thru.

And I hate LOTR would give it a zero too. Horrid shit that literally makes me agitated to watch.

 

[phantom13]

I'm standing by it. I always say to my friends about films I don't like "look I didn't rate it but give it a watch and see what you think" I actually went to the effort to message my mates who like movies this morning to say "please don't go see it, its trash" and they all messaged back "you never say that, so it must be bad"

 

[chefmeister]

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - couldn't figure out what was going on for the first 10 minutes so me and Mrs Chef nodded at each other, turned it off and went upstairs to create our own sci/fi space opera.
Looked cool tho, but very confusing.

 

[Shell]

I got a text

Just sayin..

 

[HARKER]

The Big Sick

Loved by reviewers and it does have some good ideas included, but it's ultimately a pretty nothing movie. 5/10

**** dat 2nd half must have been bad LMAO

Dheepan (2015): Jacques Audiard is another one of those directors who can't seem to make a bad film of late. Rust and Bone, A Prophet, The Beat My Heart Skipped. This film is no exception.
It follows a ex Tamil Tiger commander trying to make a life (with his pretend family) in France after fleeing from Sri Lanka. This one for the first three quarters is special but the ending kind of lets it down imo. Overall it's the sort of raw film making that Audiard excels at and I like. 7.5/10

The film definitely made sense in the final third. Whilst it is pretentious, I really enjoyed the allegorical nature of it all.

Couldn't possibly disagree with you more. It didn't make any sense in the final third, if anything any of the narrative and story unraveled completely in the last act.

NDA has lifted it seems on Kingsman. I liked it but agree with the consensus that it's more of the same, without the surprise of the first. Still certainly worth seeing but not a classic.

 

[TheKanga]

Mother! - literally just watched this and am posting this in the throes of rage so might update in the am but this is the worst piece of self serving, arrogant, pretentious garbage parading as thoughtful cinema I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. Not even a wonderful turn from J-Laws worth sitting through this s**t for 0/10 and I cannot recommend highly enough to go see anything else at the cinema.

Im seeing it right now and I'm literally the only person in the cinema.
Everyone else is seeing the Emoji Movie lol will report back with my thoughts.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Batman 1989, still bloody awesome!

 

[TheKanga]

Mother!

I actually really liked it.
However i am a fan of Aronofskys others films as well.
Thought the performances were very good.
The tension and action builds up to great effect.

4/5

Spoiler

The film is basically one big metaphor

I've liked or loved most if not all of his other films.

Mission Impossible 5: Really quite good and entertaining.
Tom Cruise is the man, I don't care what anyone says, that dude is legit.
That stunt he pulled on the aircraft really is something else, he puts so much effort and dedication into his roles and doesn't treat his audience with contempt, he actually earns that superstar status that he has, He's mid 50's looks like he's 30, the dude is killing it still.

Simon Pegg is great for the laughs and to put the film in a lighter mood when it needs it and that woman who I've never seen before Rebecca Ferguson really is impressive, she more than holds her own with Cruise and probably ends up stealing the film tbh, that chick can act and she's also pretty easy on the eye.

7.5/10 Recommended.

Now You See Me: Hated it, I found many problems with this movie that just annoyed me throughout.
It's too flashy and fast, it doesn't linger at all and let you take things in, one scene happens and it just gets hastily edited into the next, it doesn't let you think ever.

Jesse Eisenberg, to me he is one of the most punchable actors in hollywood, every movie he's in he just shits me, he has a smugness and condescension about him, I get it he's probably been told to act this way for the movie(s) but I get the feeling he's probably pretty close to this in real life as well.

This movie has too many big names all running around kinda pointlessly and becomes needlessly distracting, there is Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman as the two older supposedly wiser people of the bunch, then there is the four magicians, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson & Dave Franco, then there's Mark Ruffallo, Melanie Laurent & Common running around as the cops, that's too many big names all in the one film they should have cut at least half of them and they would have saved money and the movie would have been less distracting, pretty every one of these actors can and do carry movies on there own at times, it's stupid.

Finally it's just totally ridiculous, the story is ridiculous and illogical, the movie takes itself too seriously so suspension of belief gets thrown out the window because you feel your supposed to take the movie seriously there's no wink or nod to camera to let the audience know that this is supposed to be a silly and fun movie they **** that up by trying to be too serious.

3/10. Don't watch. They made a 2nd one as well it was obviously popular and has a decent rating on imdb but I seriously just hated it.

So I'm on holidays and decided to have a veg out day and rented 4 films. You would think out of 4 at least 1 would be good. Nope.

The Mummy
Into the Forest
Awakening the Zodiac
Wakefield

The first 3 were crap. Wakefield was passable but nothing great.

When you say rented do you mean online or from a store? Not being a smart ass but seriously do they still have them?

I miss them.
