The Movie Review Thread

Bluestone 42.
Not a movie, but a TV miniseries from the BBC.
A little different from the normal... This is a comedy drama and a little similar to MASH in some ways. Centring around an EOD (bomb disposal) team in Afganistan who get a new Padre. She is rather tasty and is immediately set upon by the lead character, Capt. Nick Medhurst, who is the tech and perpetually on the hunt for a shag.

Nice to see some proper swearing and not pussy footing around with language issues.
Endangered lizards? Mmm! Tasty!
Dumb and Dumber discussing vaginas... !!

I note in the titles that a real-life EOD tech is involved with this production, and not only is he supplying tech-type stuff but also a few of the stories involved...
A good combination of personalities are acted out.
Series #1 done so far.
Apparently another two have been made, so the British humour I still alive!

A comedy of 4 older guys going to have a stag nite as 1 of them is getting married to a women which one of the mates refers to her age as "I have a haemorrhoid older than her". Interestingly the character in reference is Michael Douglas who is married to Zeta 25 years younger.

The other two are the well known De Niro and Freeman - veteran actors and they gel very well. Good humour which I think is aimed at the older years (35+). A bit like the Hangover movies but with older fellas and a bit more of a story line.

Acting: 9/10, Storyline: 4/10, Action: 0/10, Violence: 0/10, Water Works Female: 0/10, Water Works Male: 0/10 , Favorite scene: transvest "what do you think my wife would say?", Dumb scene: what wife will give permission for their husband to "go and have fun" whilst passing things to encourage sexual encounters.

very quickly

snow white and the cuntsman: shit, so shit i didn't finish watching it.

28 weeks later (sequel to 28 days later): better than the first, the young crack-addled looking chiquita with about 4 facial expressions really made the movie. some very POM humor interspersed. mmmmmmmaverage.

hunger games one and two: the second one didnt end. which i find a noying. i watched both of these from my "fuck your society" standpoint, and the ironing in many lines is hilarious.
excellent motivation to go into the bush and take drugs. time wasters.

malice in wonderland: good title, good movie. unfortunately they were really nothing to do with one another. loosely followed the original alice plot, with some "not to be watched while on acid" scenes. and humor. worth it

hunt to kill: i watched it. all of it. it's arse. so arse. only a large supply of cannabis and doritos got me through.
if you can find a clip of the final scene (spoiler: a guy gets killed by having a quad wheelied into him, then shot with a flare), that's basically the movie. jesus. i'm not getting that part of my life back, and i gained about 2kg watching it.
if you have any dignity, do not watch.

the animatrix: watch it. while on acid. a long collection of short animations of various styles, loosely based around the matrix idea. neat.

The Book Theif;

9/10 really enjoyed it. The narator was a nice touch.

Gravity;

6/10 not too bad, but WGAF about americans anyway.

Pacific Rim;

2/10 Load of crap trying to be taken seriously.

Dicaprio's best movie - amazing acting. "true" story about a broker, starting his own firm selling worthless stocks by pushing up demand causing price hikes, a bit like the dotcom era which I was an unfortunate and poorer victim. For me, the movie is about the addiction to the Money God, besides the nudity, profanities, the constant drug use, oh and the nudity.

He was making $ from greed, from others that wanted high returns, just like him.

What I am annoyed about is why the bigger crooks like the Lehman Brothers weren't done, yet this guy was.

Acting: 9.5/10, Storyline: 7/10 (of interest to me being an x-trader), Action: 0/10, Violence: 0/10, Water Works Female: 0/10, Water Works Male: 0/10 , Favorite scene: the motivation speeches he gives to his team. Dumb scene: should of taken his initial medicine (plea bargain) and he wouldnt have lost so much

You. Cause you ride their motorcycles.

Pacific Rim;

2/10 Load of crap trying to be taken seriously.

Aww come on. A movie that is giant robot-things smashing up giant alien beasty things and "serious". Only if you think GODZILLA and the TERRRIBLE awful TRANSFORMERS movies are documentaries.

Michael Bay can eat a bag of dicks.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Out of the furnace. Fucking excellent film. 8.5/10

[The Pastor]

lego movie - 8/10 nice easy watch and funny.

[Flip]

NOW I think Pacific Rim is a great movie, I have it and watch it in 3D (privilege of having a 3D TV capitalist pig that I am)... however the acting was a tad on the average side?

I'm not wanting to touch the dicks comment.

A really good watch. 9/10 for laughs. Don't usually bother with comedies but this had people laughing out load throughout. Some hilarious one-liners.

Yup, we went early in the run, because the Mrs wanted to and I knew nothing about it. Before it started I looked at her and said "Mockumentary? WTF? I hate mockumentaries."

Turned out I laughed my ass off. Highly recommended.

Totally agree, been recommending this one to everyone I know, particularly those who have ever had anything to do with the military. Hilarious.

I love the CO "What's the first rule?"
