The Imposter

Documentary film about a kid that goes missing and someone else poses as him to get a better life and live with the family.

Chilling story.

8/10

Henry : Portrait of a serial killer.

Gritty well made 80's film, disturbing scenes and content. 6.6/10

Sinister - 7/10

Uncle Petey · 19 Feb 2013 at 01:34

Just watched Sinister. A generous 5/10.
Not scary imo*. Mostly just cheap jump scares.

I won't go into detail as it would be spoiler territory. All I'll say is that I found myself increasingly irritated by the guy's inability to use a light switch...

*And I'm a pansy that got creeped out by Paranormal Activity 1 AND 2

Die Hard 2.

Cashback - watched this after a mention in this thread, and it was excellent 8/10

Argo - didn't expect to like this for some reason, but again, a great film 8/10

Compliance - Terrible 2/10

It says it's based on a true story but I really don't think 1 person, let alone a group of people can be that stupid.

She knows she didn't bloody steal anything so why is she going along with this rubbish!??

Upside Down - 8/10. Really enjoyed it, nice story, awesome visuals and some very impressive cinematography. Will look great on Blu-ray.

The Book of Eli - for the 3rd time. 9/10

Fantastic film!

This applies to most scary movies though - I'm fairly sure that if I was alone in a house and I heard a noise in the cellar, I wouldn't sneak down there with a semi-faulty flashlight!

Uncle Petey · 19 Feb 2013 at 12:29

Yeah, I know it's just to keep a spooky atmosphere.
It just kills any believability and makes you hope they get horrifically slaughtered

*Hear creaky noises/See evidence of intruders*

Baseball bat? Check
Torch? Check.
Turn the lights on? Nah.

Other than that, the cheap, predictable jump scares got incredibly annoying. In fact, there a few moments where I found myself saying out loud 'And cue jump scare' moments before they happened.

The story was ok, though I'm struggling to see why this film is so highly rated.

Carlito's Way - 8/10

Armageus · 19 Feb 2013 at 13:22

Skyfall - 8/10

Can't understand the hate for it in here, especially the "boring and very slow"....

Predictable, yes, but still very much the best bond film by far.

VIPER258 · 19 Feb 2013 at 13:23

Aliens. 9/10

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
Vasquez: No. Have you?

Here Comes the Boom - 6.5/10, probably the best mma film and a comedy too, very nice ufc tie ins, can't complain really, worth a watch.

How to Survive a Plague (2012)

Extremely powerful and thought provoking documentary about the AIDS epidemic!

8.8/10

The Sweeney - Got about half way through and just thought it was terrible. Not much to it, story line was a bit 'meh' and Ray Winstone getting off with someone half his age was a bit cringe worthy!
