What film did you watch last night?

13 Eerie. Come on Canadians, work with me please! I try to support your film industry and this is all I get for my troubles? :rolleyes:

Switched off at 30 minutes. Didn't even look back. 3/10.


Huff. Clumsy slasher with bad acting and outrageous continuity errors. 3/10.


Franklyn. Something about the catastrophic breakdown of mental health care in post-Thatcherite Britain. I think. To be honest I wasn't paying that much attention. It was probably OK. 7/10.
 
Furious 7. So I finally got around to watching this, and I actually got more than I bargained for. :confused:

F7 reboots the franchise and fixes the chronology, which now looks like this:

* The Fast & The Furious
* Tokyo Drift
* Furious 7

All continuity errors are now solved, and the remaining films are no longer canonical.

F7 was notable for its broad audience appeal. Box office figures showed that it was the first film in the trilogy to be enjoyed equally by gays, blacks, Muslims, and normal people.

Vin Diesel attributed this success to the richness of its cross-cultural references and the broad diversity of its cast (heterosexual whites, heterosexual blacks, more heterosexual whites, and some other heterosexual whites).

I personally found F7 to be the most rewarding and realistic of Vin Diesel's F movies. 5/10.

Yeah, I got my girlfriend that on bluray and its marvellous. It looks brilliant aswell, the landscapes are beautiful, bright and interesting.

Any feedback from Inside Out?

They all really liked it, though some of it went over the kids' heads. But yeah, very good on the adult front.
 
Back To The Future III. It's good, but not brilliant. The train sequence is brilliant - great use of physical effects. The ending is a big cheese sandwich.

I'm not sure whether it's better than the second. The second is better in terms of actual sci fi content, but it's darker in the middle. The first is, needless to say, an absolute masterpiece.

But Han is dies in drift so how can he be in 7 :confused:
 
The Guest...mates been on at me for ages to watch it, didn't like the look of it so didn't bother for a while. Loved it, a good simple violent thriller, a little OTT but pure entertainment from start to finish. Personal score of 9/10 although being objective it's more a 7.5/8.
 
The Altar.

set in yorkshire, decent acting, decent camera work but very low budget which shows with the ghost effects which are shocking. stay away from this film like the plague. 2.5 / 10
 
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It's not even finished yet, but I can confidently say it's tripe. Short of Anna Kendrick turning up and taking her top off I can't see anything saving this.
 
Interstellar - 7/10

I contemplated giving it 6/10, but thought that might cause a riot :p

It's always nice to see sci-fi films being made, so I think I'm excused for being a bit generous.

Towards the end it completely lost the plot, although remained interesting to look at as a visual spectacle. A bit like "Sunshine", actually.

Don't even try to explain because frankly it's too absurd to contemplate. There is a difference between clever and contrived, and this film is definitely the latter.

Worth a watch, and the Hans Zimmer soundtrack is compelling as always.

Yeah

All the Hobbit films are over-long nonsense.

Money money money:o

I've only seen the first one. It was over long and childish, as well as being nonsense. Actually it was a terrible film.
