What film did you watch last night?

The book of WWZ is fantastic. The film is dire. But I've read the book several times which is very unusual for me. It's definitely worth it.
Surely it's worth 1/10 for the title alone?

Another fine piece of work from Herzog, sensitively filmed and exceptionally well researched. Very chilling in places, too.
I'm still totally gutted by this, there was zero reason to do what they do. Writers, producers and directors should never find work again.
There was so many good ways they could if done it, but no. They just used the name to sale tickets. It bares no resemblance to the book.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
Not bad I guess but so many illogical plot holes that I found myself laughing in parts!
A generous 7/10 because it's the weekend and I'm in a good mood!

Also, was it really necessary to jump on board with the recent zombie apocalypse trend!?!?

Same here.
I live in the hope that one day, it'll get proper justice done to it with a decently budgeted mini-series or something.
I think a 6-10 episode HBO mini-series (like Band of Brothers etc) would be the only way to do the WWZ book justice as a movie isn't long enough to include all the awesomeness (as proven).
Anyway, back on Topic -
V for Vendetta - 8/10 - An amazing film with some fantastic performances from the cast. I only have one minor niggle, at some point during Evie's capture (esp head shaving scene) she "must" have seen either V's hands or face which would have given the game away.

So many ridiculous scenes though, a night club with alcohol, drugs and nice women? I thought it was supposed to be a post apocalyptic world?
Although you couldn't include all the awesomeness.
I would have done it as flash blacks. It would have even been acceptable to have say brad pit in a ptsd shrink setting telling what happened.
I would have started of with the Chinese doctor scene, and would have included the big battle in America, can't remember what it was called. It could be an awesome film. Films can never include everything a book has, a book is about 16hrs long. But they could have easily picked a dozen important and diverse stories.
The film ended up so different I wonder why they even bothered with paying for the book rights. While the film is getting the sequel it simply won't be anything like the book. Bearing in mind what your average film goer looks for in a film it was always in danger of being changed too much on the big screen.
To be done properly it definitely need a solid, well made and nicely budgeted mini series.
haha me too, I cry at everything. what's your rating for inside out?
I'd say 8/10 or thereabouts. It was quite effective emotionally and quite a good story. I liked the fact that it does something that you'd really struggle to do with live action, which is something all of Pixar's best films have done.
great I will give it a watch, I was deciding between watching inside out and minions tonight, so will give inside out a go.
Clubbed
Inspired by Geoff Thompson's (bouncer of some repute) book 'Watch My Back', the film tries to portray the gritty life of an English bouncer. The emphasis is more on the intellectual side of confrontation, and for a film with a central theme of violence there's not much in it (but what is there is sometimes brutal)
Film never really hit the mark for me. Felt like Roadhouse dialled down and transported to an English city. Gangster trying to run everything? Check. Principled and tough main characters? Check. Revenge? Check.
6/10
