What film did you watch last night?

IIRC, they were made, with their powers as side effect of a genetics manipulation program. Remember the woman he goes to see with the narcotic guard dog plants?
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that. He's about as funny as a heart attack.
The maze runner
6/10
Hard to explain this film a lot of the plot is confusing and much of what they do doesn't make sense, could be a good film if you can look past all the problems

The 'Rules' don't make sense how many of them seem to have no interest in attempting to escape or wanting to explore the maze to find an exit and anyone brave enough to go in the maze gets 'punished' even after achieving the 'impossible' by surviving the night in the maze AND killing a 'grifter' or whatever their called and at the end the movie only makes a vague attempt to explain itself and how did Gally get through to the rest of them at the end when all the doors closed behind them and he didn't have a 'key' and all he wanted to do was to try and stop them from 'escaping' the maze?
Interstellar - 9/10
Great film, didn't hit all the marks it was aiming for but overall very good. All of the 'twists' I thought were pretty obvious, so no real surprises with where it went. I thought the end was straying into the sublimely ridiculous, but they just rescued it....if you ignore the obvious time travel paradoxes.
My main gripe with the film was Matthew McConaughey...for gods sake man, you're an actor, enunciate properly and stop mumbling!
Saw it in Berlin, in their Sony centre Imax - Why can't we have cinemas like that, it was stunning! Sat in a full leather armchair for 3 hours watching that massive screen was enhancing to the total experience.
Imitation Game - 9/10
Even with all the historical inaccuracies and appeals to emotion - which I appreciate they need to do to make a good story, and I find Keira Knightley simperingly annoying, it was a great film, go see it
I went into the film remembering that it's Christopher Nolan, therefore I never had a problem with it in terms of ridiculousness
Interstellar - 9/10
Great film, fantastic 70mm IMAX experience. Matthew Mahogany was even pretty good, I'll forgive him a brief bout of his trademark mumbling.
Mockingjay Part 1 - 7/10
Solid film. Would have given it a six, but I'm adding a bonus point as I've read the book and the first half is a tad slow/leaden. They broke it a decent point, part 2 should be stonking.

It's probably slow because they've taken 1 book/film and padded it out to make 2 films (twice the money!) it was done with the last film of Harry Potter, it's just another way to milk the people who pay to watch the films.
Indeed.
Great for the film companies who are making the cash.
But bad for us (audience).
And besides any decent production team will get around the problem of a boring book - i.e. make changes to make it more exciting or play around with the run time.
Nothing is as egregious as stretching The Hobbit out into 3 films... That's one book that's shorter than a single volume of LotR... Ridiculous.

Horrible Bosses 8/10

But it isn't just one book is it. It's all the other stuff he has wrote as well, which fills bits in. It is so far from being one book.
Jason X, pretty good slasher movie, with loads of fit women always helps 6/10

The Grandmaster
6/10
No where as good as IP Man films. The director concentrated on fancy cinematics and somewhat overshadowed the film. With these films I prefer to watch the fast authentic martial arts of wing chun not the slowed down effects. The storylines love plot was somewhat lost and I don't know if like IP Man this if the main plot is a historic version of events.

Horrible Bosses 2 8/10.
Also very funny, as was the first, and Jennifer Aniston is a dirty mouthed girl and I like it (though in the end credit bloopers she did seem embarrassed about what she was saying
). Stay for the end credits, it's almost straight as they start, for the bloopers especially the last one as it's probably the funniest thing in the whole film (imo).The other night.....
Predestination 8/10. It starts to become clear what's going on around half way through though it takes longer for the whole truth to be revealed, but when it does it's......
is it sex or masturbation?

Predestination - 7/10 - A well acted piece with an interesting idea at it's core although it's probably best not to think about the time travel aspects too much. I thought both leads did a fantastic job and it's been the first film in a long while which had me riveted past my usual 1hr 'numb bum' time for films. The twists were so subtly advertised it allows you to feel a little smug about guessing them, if you were paying attention of course.
Yep, that was guff.
Fury - 6.5/10
I was expecting much more from this, I wouldnt say its a bad film, but it didnt have as high hopes as I thought
I would say that overall there were a few things that bugged me which seemed to be too unrealstic, the way things happened, some of the CGI was blatently obvious, things like explosions, bullet and round tracers. House scene was just weird and the atmostphere was a little violent and tense especially when the rest of them came back in the house.
At then end it just seemed like an age from when the march was spotted to the last scene kicking off, the two granades at the end which done next to no damage to a human
I am having much more hopes for the upcoming films that I want to see
"Kajaki" and "American Sniper"
