Imaginaerum 7.5/10

Good music, decent story, certainly worth a watch for a nightwish fan, also kind of tim burton'y.

MANIAC

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2103217/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

You can't see this. Its been banned. It is now only available to film festivals (and for university study I think.)

Crikey. Pretty hard going. A lot of it is shot from the POV of the protagonist. Who is a (wait for it) maniac serial killer. We are also asked to sympathise with him, and by the end of the film its sort of hard not to in a little way.

Very well acted. Elijah Wood is particularly creepy as fuck in it. the supporting actress is a stunner http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2482391/?ref_=tt_ov_st and also great in it... particularly at the end.

Not my usual sort of film. And I admit, I only went because it was banned. Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, and who are you to tell me I can't see a movie?

I dont think it needed to be banned but I didnt really enjoy it, and wouldnt really recommend it. No rating.

Meh... I didn't/wouldn't watch it a second time. It was a let down in ways... the achtung, I mean acting was the bit that let it down for me. Odd as fuck, homage paid to other movies, novel concept, but the acting

Are you talking about iron sky?
Crap movie but the blond German chick is so hot I watched the whole thing, without her I doubt if have made it ten minutes in without turning the crap off though

I quite enjoyed it, but one of those movies you have to be in the mood for I think.

Was a great laugh. As others have mentioned - not your average cut of bread. Almost monty pythonish.
With the blonde - 8/10
Without the blonde - 6/10

Would rank it slightly higher than the latest wolverine flick.

Shit. Best character was the tyre with telepathic powers.

Hmmm…. I remember going to see Sin City at the movies a while back and people were laughing in some pretty strange places. I thought it was so sick it would give unimaginative sickos ideas….. so, I’m not 100% against censorship. So long as it doesn't apply to me....

The Purge
An interesting concept in which all crime is legalised for a 1 night a year. Sequel already in the works 7/10

VHS2
Not as good as the original but still solid as. 7/10

The Iceman
Loved this movie. Watch it. 8/10

A bit leftfield of the staples in this thread. A doco revealing a season at El Bulli which was the top restaurant on the planet for awhile. Purely for foodophiles. A meeting of science, art & indulgence. If you think your a bit handy in the kitchen this will bring you back to earth.

You can watch it HERE

Elysium: 10/10. I wonder who Jodie Fosters character was modeled on.

lol. Well I'm going out with the crew next week for a cheap curry and a movie session (maybe *Only God Forgives* if it's still on) that you'd be most welcome to join in on!

Warm Bodies.
Zombie love story.
Funny with an underlying message about humanity.
Wouldn't say I loved it, but I liked it a lot.
7.5/10

Elysium: 10/10. I wonder who Jodie Fosters character was modeled on.

Saw it tonight and really liked it. About halfway through I was thinking "District 9 ish" and sure enough Neill Blomkamps name pops up in the credits. Plus some cool Weta-made weapons.

Now You See Me

8.5/10 Film about some magicians, good plot twists and a really enjoyable watch.

THE WAY WAY BACK

Good cast (Sam Rockwell is ALWAYS good. Toni Collette is quite an actress, and Steve Carrell as the villain is interesting).

Sweet, and funny and all those things. Worthwhile "date-night" movie because you get indie cred, a watchable film, and a better than 65% chance of action when you get home.

It did have a distinct lack of giant robots bashing giant lizards however, so I am giving it 7.5/10.

the sci fi itch will be scratched this week as I go to see ELYSIUM Matt Daaaaaaaamooonnnn
