What film did you watch last night?

The Prestige 9.5/10

My first viewing. It has to be up there with Shawshank, usual suspects, fight club for twists and guessing. The beauty of it is that it is all there.
Some dodgy English accents and a surprise David Bowie . Brilliant film. Whatever I watch next will disappoint.

The Rocketeer, fantastic film, one of my favourites. 9/10.

Lucy. What the actual eff.

id give it a 6, went a bit mental towards the end.

The Town - watched again with the missus, such a great film. Fantastic acting especially from Jeremy Renner.

Hasn't that got a rather memorable Jennifer Connelly in it?

Still need to see that film.

It certainly does... That's what helps make it so good

Dracula Untold - 7/10
Was as someone mentioned further up, pleasantly surprised. Would be interesting to see if they can do a sequel.

It's all part of the show.

Lucy, naff 4/10.

Gone Girl - 6.5/10

Hmm, I thought it was a solid start to the film, but then when the 'twist' was revealed and it went into her side of things it just got sublimely ridiculous tbh, we were just laughing out loud for the last third of the film...and I don't think it was trying to be comedic

Also, the scenes between Rosamund Pike and Neil Patrick Harris (How I met your mother) were awful, his acting was terrible.

Fincher was on the Kermode/Mayo podcast the other week and did say that the back end of the film is intended to get a bit over the top and silly.

Non-Stop.

Not seen Tombstones yet but wasn't particularly offended by Non-Stop. I'm a Neeson fan and this pretty much delivered. Considering it was all set on a plane, the fights were good fun. Only thing it lacked was a proper gunfight but that's obviously understandable! It's not Taken though. Ending had terrible CGI too. Can't wait for Taken 3.

6/10

Lucy - 3/10 - good start, terrible ending, doesn't trump Limitless, so overall waste of time and money, so many big names, so little gain.

Larry Crowne 9/10
A really nice enjoyable film, you have certain expectations when watching a Tom Hanks film and he doesn't disappoint you with this one

Gravity
3/10.

Boring and probably exaserbated by the **** poor acting from Sandra Bullcock. Special effects were great though.

Belloni · 9 Oct 2014 at 16:44

The Equalizer, actually really enjoyed it. Can't go wrong with Denzel to be honest! Slow to start, like others have said however.

I said it was rubbish

Kermode agrees

I'm so glad I'm not you

Big screen, surround sound and Gravity rocks. You can ignore most of the annoying aspects because it looks and sounds so good.

Not sure if I'd think too much of it if I watched it on anything less than 40" with at least hifi speakers.

Gravity is easily 9/10 but I do have two home cinemas
