What film did you watch last night?

San Andreas (2015) - 3/10

The film does what you’d expect, and nothing more. The destruction is pretty spectacular to watch, but becomes shallow after a while, although because of the absurdity and pacing of the events, never gets boring. The emotional backstory is weak, the cast are watchable but forgettable, and the ending is cringe worthy at best.

Memories of a Murder (2003)

8/10

It's so refreshing to see a film like this. I didn't know what to expect, it's set in the mid 80s and I didn't know how I'd feel about it but having progressed through I found myself thoroughly enjoying characters and clashing contrast between "crime fighting" methods by the detectives and the dark humour revolving around them.

I was rofling at some segments (no spoilers!) and I'm sure others will too during them. The dialogue is fast and on the ball, just like A Hard Day in a way.

I think where Hollywood excels at stunning films that massage your eyes and ears, Korea makes some stunning films that massage your mind and soul.

Edit*
Reading the IMDB comments, seems it's based on actual events in SK, that makes it even more interesting a film.

If you enjoyed that then you MUST see 'I saw The Devil' which imho is an even better South Korean murder crime thriller. Stunning film :-)
 
Up in the Air

It's one of them films where not much happens other than you follow the life of Ryan Bingham as he fly's around america sacking people then someone changes his way of thinking and the way he packs his bag

Have to say i really enjoyed it 10/10

Riddick - 7/10

Good action and what you'd expect predictable but enjoyable.

I think I'd have enjoyed Riddick a lot more if it wasn't billed as a sequel to Pitch Black. Pitch Black was such a great movie, and the Riddick character the perfectly pitched morally-ambiguous anti-hero but Riddick just turns him into Conan in Space.
 
Oblivion 5/10
Found it rather dull, although I'm not a Tom Cruise fan so than didn't help.

World War Z - 4/10
Again, dull film just about managed to watch it till the end.

Captain America (the first Avenger) - 7/10
Surprisingly better than I expected it to be.

Seen a few lately.

Penny Dreadful. Lives up to its title: there's a character called 'Penny' and the movie is dreadful.

I was in a queue for calling a customer and browsing this thread. Found the above and literally laughed out loud :D

You should review more often, great work :p
 
Captain America - Winter Soldier.
4/10.
This was as bad as the first one. Below average.
It was infuriatingly long at around 2.5 hours.
The best part of the movie was when The Winter Soldier was on screen - the problem was that he only had about 10 minutes screen time in total.
The 2 best scenes are when Captain American does close combat in a lift full of thugs. And when Fury resists an attack in his car.
Whenever Johansen was on screen - it was a borefest.

And in the first 15 minutes, Captain, fights a normal man and struggles to beat him. This is a man who can fight aliens, who can jump 30 flights, who has the strength of 20 men, yet he can't put down a normal man with a single punch.

I could go on, but this was a bad movie.
