The Theory of Everything is fantastic, I'm pretty excited about seeing Birdman tomorrow though!

Edit - I got the theory of everything mixed up with something completely different! Have never seen it!! :p

Carrie (2013). Not brilliant, and certainly not better than the first or even significantly different to it, which makes it feel rather redundant. Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore were pretty good, Portia Doubleday was pretty bad, the directing wasn't great, the music was awful and the sound wasn't up to much. Pretty meh all round.
 
American sniper

Fantastic film, its raw, feels real, shows the emotions and effects. Bradley cooper is good in this and Clint Eastwood directed this real life event fantastically. It tells the story of Chris kyle well

8/10

There was three films I had in my scope. Fury which I watched, I though there was some major realism issues and the general manner of the film, american sniper which has earnt its mark and gave it a better rating than fury, and the film kajaki which I want to see

American Sniper - 8/10

I really enjoyed it. It's very gritty and although I can't comment on the realism of it, it doesn't shy away from showing some pretty gory details. I wouldn't say it's as visceral as Fury or Saving Private Ryan but it shows the psychological effects of war better than either of those films imo. Would recommend.
 
Taken 3 - lame 5/10 purely based on the odeon email I got for this weekend it's 2 for £10.

Slow contorted daft story with retarded baddies fighting and old guy.
 
Noah - 6/10

Definitely entertaining, but I wish Aronofsky had gone all out with the crazy dreamscapes and other dark imagery. It could have been really nightmarish but was all a little too glossy and everything after the first half hour was pretty prosaic. A less well known cast might have worked better too.

Surely you haven't just worked this out? Most of Seth Rogen's films tank because of this.

What are you basing this on? Him as an actor, producer or director? Go through the list of his films as a producer and see how they fared at the box office and with critics; Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, 50/50, Superbad, Pineapple Express to name but a few. So yeah.

I saw Whiplash this evening, my word its intense.
 
LUCY

7/10, enjoyed watching it, shame they went a bit too far at the end with the whole time universe starting thing quite enjoyed the film as a whole.
 
Boyhood
Enjoyed it. Decent film, rather long.
Oscar type stuff as it didn't really go anywhere, but was well acted.
Shame to see Patricia Arquette changing so much over the twelve years.
Used to be a cutiepie.

Couldn't see an reason to ever watch it again.
7/10
 
Vice (2015) 1/10

Bruce Willis must be hard up being in this steaming poo of a film.

Like a really bad rip off/mash up of doll house/surrogates.

Watch it if you you films where the hero and heroine refuse to get shot but yet happily dispatch teams of elite soldiers with state of the art body armour and guns?

WHy look at his films as a producer, aside from the fact that producer credits in films mean nothing or Speilberg would literally be about 40 people to achieve the amount of credits he achieves. It's often thrown in as part of deals and difficult from outside the industry to understand if it's genuine or not but ultimately as film goers we can see people act on screen, we can see films as an entire product and know the director had a massive input, producers input on a particular film is impossible to quantify.

As for his films, directing, This is the end and The interview, both utter abominations of films, not funny, basically the humour of a 12 year old ****.

He's been in 2-3 not woeful films where frankly, my opinion is his awfulness hasn't managed to overshadow those films. 50/50, Superbad, 40 year old Virgin. He was only a main character in one of those films, 50/50 and his character was kind of supposed to be how he is, a stoner/slight idiot. Absolutely can't stand him, worst laugh in the history of cinema, basically doesn't act but plays the same guy in every single thing he's done for the past 15 years. Even Jonah Hill has branched out more than him and done more serious films AND better films than him and Hill also mostly plays the same character and isn't a great actor by any stretch at all.

I thought Kojaki will take a lot to be beaten, great little film. Going to see American Sniper tonight but slightly put off by the patriotic, flag waving all-American feel to it. How did you find it in that respect?
 
Couldnt get along with American Sniper, not one of Eastwoods best by a long shot. Cooper is superb and his Texas accent is spot on but it gets a little too much 'flag waving' at the end, especially considering Kyle wasnt such the nice guy people like to think he was.
