What film did you watch last night?

[ianh]

I amazed that modern film makers can look at something as iconic as Robocop, Total Recall etc and say "I can do it better" or ""Lets make a totally different movie with the same name, people will love it".

There are very few cases where it's actually worked (Batman vs Batman Begins for example) and dozens upon dozens where it's failed miserably.

Spectre. One of the worse Bond films I've seen and I've seen all the Roger Moore ones.

Tangerines (2013)

Very good.

9/10

 

[Akagi]

Live and Let Die (1973)

First time I've seen it!

7/10

Watching Memento on BBC2, just started. Supposed to be pretty good.

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

Watched the first half of wolf of wall Street this morning. Seems alright. Margot Robbie is unbelievable

 

[scorchisio]

Ant man. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Just finished Memento. Too confusing for me, not really sure what actually happened by the end of the movie.

some excellent walkthroughs on this one. In short, map the story backwards and that's your film.

Kingsman : The Secret Service (2014) 5/10

Heard a lot of great things about this movie, and whilst it was enjoyable it did fail to live up to my expectations. It kept me and the missus entertained for a couple of hours, but ultimately for me.....forgettable.

I've read through this one on Memento

which has helped a lot. But for me personally, the movie is hard work. The story is too complex for its own good and quite absurd in many ways. And if he can't

make new memories, then it would be like groundhog day everyday for him, he'd never remember any progress he's made, he'd never remember what any of the tattoos relate to.

But anyway

So the rapists then, they really were a couple of random junkies? Or are we meant to read between the lines and think there's something more sinister to it, like, could Teddy be one of the rapists?

The Last Shift - Refreshing, reasonably original horror movie and while mildy predictable in a few parts, it did have some genuine butt clenching moments - 7.5/10

How To Be Single - Quite tolerable rom com and made better by Rebel Wilson who against general consensus amongst my friends, I think is really funny. Wifes cinema choice btw - 6/10

A Night At The Roxbury - Has aged so so badly, jokes fall flat and it was hard to finish watching, 3/10

 

[Kosmiche]

The Worlds End - Better than Hot Fuzz, not up there with Shaun but very funny.

 

[Sliver]

Victor Frankenstein

Kept me mildly entertained for the best part of two hours. Not enough monster was my gripe.

 

[arc@css]

The Iceman.

Seen it before, but worth another watch.

 

[Jokester]

The Finest Hours 7/10
Entertaining.

Just got back from Deadpool.

Easily an 8/10. Sweet Cameo too.

 

[RyanF]

Watched Deadpool last Friday - 8/10, was exactly the movie I've been looking for as of late.

Just finished watching Bridge of Spies - 9/10, absolutely fantastic movie well worth a watch for anyone that hasn't.

Watched the political thriller Ides of March on BBC iPlayer tonight. Fell asleep watching it last time around...written by the guy that created House of Cards starring Clooney, Gosling, Melissa Tomei, Paul Giamatti and Phillip Seymour Hoffman - great writing, cast and cinematography

 

[Cosimo]

The Martian - superb performance from Damon, great imagery and well almost a NASA docudrama, enjoyed every minute of it. 8/10
