Bit strange to pre-judge the new one due to the prequels tbh...

I've lost patience with the whole thing. I'm just not interested.

I watched The Sting this evening. It was excellent. You should all watch it.

Marsman · 7 Dec 2015 at 02:04

Yes, it's great. Saw it on TV recently. Hadn't seen it since I had it on VHS many moons ago.

Spy (2015)

Melissa McCarthy. Used up her few jokes in the first 15 minutes in a 2 hour long film. She's no leading lady which is by far the films biggest problem.

3/10

Best thing about Spy was Jason Statham and taking the **** of him self.

The Walk - 6/10

Was okay... terrible French accent though.

I thought that, felt a little over the top. Then the guy who did the actual walk was on Russell Howard Good News a few weeks back, JGL sounds almost identical to him. Try and find the clip online, you'll be surprised.

It follows.

Really enjoyed it; a sort of creepy film that leaves you with something and makes you think.

8/10

Creed 2/10

Pathetic just like Balboa.I wish Stalone would ****ing give up making these films, I remember once in the Johnathon Ross show he said "No I'm not gonna make another Rocky film, what am I gonna fight, Arthritis?" Seems like he lied.

Any film with Rocky in it will be about Stalone and nobody will give a damn about an actor who plays Creeds son.

Wow my view of this is pretty much the complete opposite of yours. It may be that I am a blind fanboy of the Rocky movies.....

'71 - 7/10

Really enjoyed it and it was super tense. A period of "British" history that I don't know much about so it was fairly eye-opening.

This is heavily tipped to be one of the Oscar nominees, how bad can it be?

Headless (2015) 6/10

This film will not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you like underground extreme horror cinema then give this indie film a go.

It was a kickstarter funded film on the back of 2012's Found (a great disturbing indie movie) which had the main actor in the film watching a VHS of Headless. The interest in the film in a film led to the kickstarter.

I believe it only cost $10k to make (and hell yeah it looks like it in places) but the subject matter and some of the sequences are so degenerate and messed up that its something that it hard not to view IMO.

I would not say that I enjoyed it, you cannot enjoy a film like this, but from a certain perspective I did like it.

This is not one to watch with the gf or wife.

IMDB it or research it before you go ahead to try and watch it.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Finally finished the trilogy, as lots have said before me this should have been kept as a fast paced simple action flick rather than trying to imitate the LOTR trilogy. Never mind. 3/5

Rikki · 8 Dec 2015 at 14:05

I watched Die Hard last night, best Xmas movie ever

Somewhat agree, doesn't carry the "epicness" as the previous trilogy but still very much awesome. Just wish they used practical effects rather than CGI.

Last film: Hannibal Rising. Was very good but Silence of the Lambs

Werewolf · 8 Dec 2015 at 14:27

We watched "Kingsmen" last night which was very enjoyable, it felt very like one of the older Bond films at times, mixed a bit with Hot Fuzz.

I'd give it an easy 7/10.

Imitation Game - 9/10

Great film, and the music is gorgeous.

Yeah thats a good film, after I watched that I watched Kajaki, which is based on true events and is very tense!

Pixels - 4/10

An entertaining enough film but, wow, that is some terrible writing. The characters are just terrible. I spent most of the film trying to work out if Kevin James's POTUS was a subtle form of mockery or just really stupid writing. Again with the over-used Sandler concept that losers will always get their lucky break and win the girl....somehow, and with no effort. Comparing Peter Dinklage in this film to his role in GoT is just saddening.

I watched Pixels on the plane to Singapore. It's got a lot of flaws - as you rightly point out - and is downright nonsensical to boot but... I actually quite enjoyed it none-the-less, maybe I'm just the right age to appreciate the homage to old videogames but I thought it was decently watchable 6.5/10.

aardvark · 9 Dec 2015 at 16:42

i watched the fantastic four over the week end just for a laugh - yeah its pretty much garbage. I'm not sure how it got a release.

Watched this tonight after reading this. Oh my.....I do not drink but I think I need something strong after watching this.

Knife edge the entire movie.

I watched this after reading the comments here as well!
Well I say "watched" in a very loose way! Had to stop it twice! I have never seen a more intense movie in my life!
