it was the "excellent" part i was questioning.

my bro summed that movie up as "an hour and a half long dick-joke with no punchline"
apt.

Each to their own - did you miss the bits and bobs pulled out of other movies? X-men in particular and I liked the final fight scene on the fallen ship out of The Avengers.

It's a action packed laugh a minute good way of spending an evening.

imdb doesn't find? http://m.imdb.com/title/tt2651924/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7 ?
don't recall it..

[Akzle]

orright. it's not a movie, but i (and lés enfants) keep coming back to:
the animaniacs
produced by steven spielberg, and with an orchestral soundtrack. select cameos from actual famous people and humors that will frly right over kids but remind you of shit 20 years ago...
while somewhat dated in it's jibe, it's stil pretty funny.
the whole is about 90-something episodes long, a half dozen episode-lets within. it's a crying shame they didn't make more.

9/10 they just don't makem like they used to.


hardcore henry
watch it you faggots.

entirely FPS. and has the vibe of being directed by someone who's played too much playstation.
but it's still epic, and double-bonus-points for actually coming up with something different (yes, i know doom2k did an FPS scene, but this is THE WHOLE MOVIE)
will probably appeal to all you Marvel fan-bois.
but even as a standalone graphic action it wins.

some gun fuckups. some irrelevant shit (liek, "lookame, we got 144k$ worth of GPUs processing this shit, eat a dick pixar").

crank meets hobo meets bad boys, in russia.
and i would thoroughly cock the blondie.

9.5/10, highly impressed*
*may or may not have been viewed under the influence of vodka, caffeine, guarana, crazy-chineses-shit, and beersies.

the accountant

yeah. nah.
far too much with far-too-little.
and while he plays the aspie well, it just got a bit fucken long. and i found it thoroughly predictable (because i'm probably autistic? who knows)

6.5/10.

Snowden 8/10 If your already eyes open to mass surveillance and all the news stories at the time there's not much new info in the film.
Interesting story but expected bit more from calibre of Stone.
Good actors and lovely Shaileene Woodley mnake it very watchable.

[Akzle]

now you see me
quite good. bit light on actual-magic and conversely heavy on CGI-magic. not hugely inventive. but a reasonable effort at entertainment fram all concerned.
7/10


seven pounds

starts out trying to be weird. succeeds. continues.

not a story i'm familiar with, so bonus points for originality. double bonus points for jellyfish. well played by the players. unfortunately the camera guy only had two tricts up his sleeve: "narrow depth of field" and "gin for breakfast" the former was pretty well applied, if overdone,
the latter, as with so many fucken jew movies, is just fucken annoying, doubly so since it always seems to be in the quieter scenes.

so drunk camera guy: let-down number one.
let-down number two, was the txting while driving propaganda. go fuck yourself.

but at the end of it all, it even managed to get same eye-juice out of my perve-balls. it was touching. even if a bit predictable.

pretty win. except fuck the cunt that signed off on the drunk camera-guy thing.
sober camera-guy: 9/10
as is: 7.5/10

[R650R]

Highrise 10/10 Refreshingly different. Retro 70's feel to match the era the book was written in.

A dark twisted black comedy of a thriller. clockwork orange meets revoir dogs meets being john malcovivh....

Unpredictable and captivating. A good metaphor for failings of modern society too....

A Monster Calls




Loved it. One of the best looking films I've seen in recent years. 8.5/10

[pritch]

Any movie about baseball can probably guarantee a minimum audience in the US of A. Here? Maybe not so much - but I needed something to fill in a couple of hours before hitting the hay and Clint Eastwood was in it so...

More than one movie has pissed me off lately because the characters are so starkly painted. The arseholes have no redeeming features, they are just total arseholes and there is one such in this. Well, a couple actually. Maybe the directors think their audience is completely stupid? The British are much better at character development.

The relationship between Eastwood's character and his daughter played by Amy Adams is similarly laid on too thick. Otherwise I guess Eastwood is more or less believable as an ageing baseball scout reluctant to concede his health is failing and he is about to lose his job. Eastman's little soliloquy while he's having a pee, or trying to, near the beginning of the movie is worth a careful listen, more especially if you are say, approaching retirement age?

The actual sporting detail of the story is similarly hero or zero, there is no middle ground, it's all or nothing. Life doesn't tend to be like that.

The movie has a happy ending of course. (No, not that sort.)

It did fill a couple of hours or so and it wasn't a total failure so maybe a 6/10.

By the way, this was on Netflix. It'd be handy if people mentioned where they saw a movie in case there's a good one and we can know where to start looking?
Thanks in anticipation.
