the onion movie
anyone who follows the website will have a fair idea of the premise.
silly. not intelligent enough to be called satire, but some rofl funny bits.
5.5/10, pretty fucken average really but still better than:
sinister
00:27
a big ol' cliche sandwhich, with grainy ultraviolence. didn't seem to be going anywhere at half hour so turned it off.

Edge of Tomorrow
Finally got round to seeing this. A the beginning I was thinking this looks like some cheesy sci-fi Ground Hog Day but it got really good really fast. Awesome premise, amazing CGI and the acting was brilliant.
8.5/10

my oh my del toro gets around eh...
savages
i dont want to get wordy on it, that would be insulting to it.
wont be everyone's cuppa, (it's about drug dealers (and they-re not BLACK, oh noes sideshow boob!))
but is fucking great all over. only let down by a couple of cliches. neat soundtrack.
9.5/10
guardians of the galaxy
not my genre at all but still enjoyed.
not quite enough laughs to be had, fills the time with splosions and loud which gets a bit tedious, it really could have been 2 movies - i wouldn't have watched the second.
great makeups and characters. stupid plot inconsistancies ("we're evacuating the city" - starts dive bombing the city with people running and screaming - "they've evacuated the city but we can't hold out down here" - plane crashes, obviously-non-evacuated-bystanders gather around) fucksake.
still, for someone who actively dislikes this tooney marvel shit.
7/10

Savages is very good. Based on the book of the same name by Don Winslow (a great author) - I reckon you'd like the book - it's written in a drug fueled manner jumping from one character to another at pace.
"channellling the Pleideans"
Agreed. I liked it a lot.

Check out the new Wonder Woman, King Kong and Justice League trailers. Some great films of the way.
Sir Cumference
Star Trek Beyond
The third movie in the Star Trek reboot sees all the main actors return in their roles, and introduces some new ones.
Action packed from start to finish. Not quite edge-of-your-seat stuff, but engaging none the less. I enjoyed it.
The movie is dedicated to the memory of Leonard Nimoy (who died before movie production), and also Anton Yelchin (Chekov), who died in a bizarre car accident after filming was complete.
8.0 / 10
Can I believe the magic of your size... (The Shirelles)
Sir Cumference
Boychoir (2014).
This movie was heavily promoted on TV before opening.
An orphaned boy (from the wrong side of town) is given the chance to improve himself at an exclusive singing school.
Along with my daughter I'm a choral music lover, and we went on the promise of a "choral music extravaganza". We were bitterly disappointed - even Handel's Messiah was completely butchered to suit the plot.
The plot itself was feeble, very cliched, stretching belief in places, and thoroughly predictable. Very very disappointing.
While the cast was promising (Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates, Debra Winger and Eddie Izzard), all except perhaps Kathy Bates seemed to struggle with the movie's shortcomings.
Give it a miss. 2/10.
Edit: I just looked it up - after initial release the distribution rights were bought by Hallmark Cards - who have since decided not to re-release it. Says it all really...

If you want a really good music pic with a kinda sorta similar premise, give WHIPLASH a try if you have not seen it. You will not be disappointed I guarantee it.

sushi girl
esentially an hour and a half of four guys torturing another, interspersed with a story you already guessed.
nothing imaginative at all.
3.5/10
the purge
had to laugh at the producers stabs at the vacuous facile nature of townies/ "the higher ups"
...but that's. about. all.
They're all well over gunned. I mean really, a snubby M500 for monseur? and a huge ass walther( ?) that wifey can barely get her mitts around?
and really, how the fuck big is a house that noone else notices a 12ga going off inside??
Ax' top tips for locking yourself in your home when half a dozen kids are an your lawn:
As hilarious as chainsaw grips are on a shotgun, they're only real use is breaching, don't buy them for home defense.
Don't give your wife two handguns and tell her to "cover the other half of the house"
...especially if it's that fucking huge.
if you're hiding in the dark, don't shine a torch around.
if your slut daughter wants to have a tanty, knock her the fuck out and put her where you want her.
if your son is too stupid (and really, with a haircut like that...), knock him the fuck out too.
If you have the element of surprise: shoot first.
Instead of fucking around with the unwelcomes, see how many you can pick off with a silenced .22 before the rest notice.
When the rest do notice, shoot them too.
total movie length with akzle revisions: 20 minutes.
rating without akzle revisions 2/10
Kruger-Dunning Parts n Service
Batman vs Suporman.... utter shite, don't waste your money.
It has great special effects yes.... but no storyline at all, intrigue or suspense. I fell asleep on bed twice.
Another Hollywood trashcan movie where they plugs it with bigname actors to con you out of money.
Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket - Eric Hoffer

The Purge: Anarchy.
I haven't seen the first one so can't compare.
The basic premise is pretty simple: for one night a year, all crime is legal. From 7pm to 7am, anything goes. It's America so of course there are guns everywhere.
The storyline follows three disparate groups of strangers who band together in order to survive the chaos. Violent thugs and feral gangs are running riot, but there's something else going on, something to do with big rigs and semi-trailers.... Anyway, it's not a good night to have something go completely wrong and end up on the streets.
It's a good enough movie for what it is: twelve hours, strangers in the night, and urban chaos just one step short of a war zone. It's fundamentally limited by its own premise so not much is possible in terms of character, development, or storytelling. Quite a few thrills along the way, some faintly silly plotlines, and more american crazy than you can shake a carbine at. Don't go in expecting any more than that and it's OK.
6.5 / 10.

yes man
featuring rhys darby (half-woo) and jim carey (arrrrrr feck)
described as comedy - romance (in that order)
i watched it. wouldn't call it comedy, but it has funny bits. wouldn't call it romance, but it has jim carey fawning over Frenchie-dark-hair McLargeBsorSmallCs (whom i)
mumble mumble... 6.5/10 unremarkable but not utter shyt.

Agree whiplash was good i didn't think I would like it. Some very tense scenes made the movie.
